50 cent: Ill Quit if outsold by Kanye West

50 Cent: I'll Quit if Outsold by Kanye West

Friday , August 10, 2007



NEW YORK —
50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD.

"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."
An e-mail sent to West's publicist wasn't immediately returned Friday.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson, has been publicly disparaging of West before. In 2005, he suggested the 29-year-old rapper's popularity was only possible because of 50's own success.
But they recently collaborated in the studio. Their work, though, isn't scheduled to appear on either new album.
50 Cent's last full-length solo album, "The Massacre," was the best-selling disc of 2005 and sold more than 1.14 million copies in its first week of release. The same year, West's "Late Registration" opened by selling more than 860,000 copies in its first week.

swear I just opened the thread to post the exact same thing. God Bless You Steak, we missed you while you were gone.

we gonna party like 50 be retirin'

Wow Fox News getting news off of Sohh.com?? What is this world coming to?

Shoot I'm buying 2 CD's from Kanye (after downloading) to send Curtis on his way. Fitty is already imploding after a leak of a video is out that was supposed to be released in October.

Ummmmm....do you think any books will have a line on this??

bodog does 50 cent is the favorite -200 is the line on him.

BASEHEAD, who the fuck is that in your avatar? That's the important question...

Sounds like a publicity stunt to me. Besides, promising that he won't write any more music is no big deal; given that he's a rapper, he's never written any music in his life.

From http://missinfo.tv/

One of my inside sources just saw 50 cent completely black out in the G-unit offices. 50 was screaming into his blackberry phone, he ripped off a 70-inch plasma off the wall and at the end of the…err…chat, he threw the phone straight through the window of his executive office….shattering glass all over the midtown Manhattan street.

So what in the world could possibly have sent 50 into such a rage? Well, according to my source, right before 50 threw that cellular hail mary, he yelled something to the effect of, “You’re f—ing everything up, you’re messing up my look, my album. So you know what? I’m on f—in’ vacation now. F— you and F— Interscope……”
Yowzers….
Here’s the inside story. Allegedly someone inside the Interscope camp may lose their job (or their head, if Fiddy has his way) because the video for 50’s 3rd single, called “Follow my Lead” featuring Robin Thicke, somehow just leaked to the web. Mind you, this single isn’t supposed to come out until October….that would be well after 50’s album Curtis drops and after his current single, “Ayo Technology,” (featuring a bigger blue-eye soulster Justin Timberlake,) has time to run its course.

But now 50’s carefully laid plans are all messed up. And after finding out about the leak, the G-unit general flipped so crazy that he allegedly told an executive at Interscope that he’s boycotting all promotional duties and possibly leaving the label… With just one month before the release of his album (and Kanye’s) on Sept. 11th.

Now for many of us jaded industry folk, the knee-jerk reaction is to sniff for publicity stunt stank. But the reason why I don’t smell premeditated ploy in this case is because having both songs out now, really isnt good music business. The 50/Justin song out and the 50/Robin song are just redundant. Plus, how’re you gonna have a video out for a song that hasnt been released to radio yet? No wonder 50 went bonkers.

According to G-unit sources, after the bug-out, 50 shouted out a final F— Interscope salutation and broke out without a trace. As of Friday afternoon, I dont think he’s resurfaced yet. (oh, also, I actually saw a photo of the plasma ripped off the wall. Which, yes I know, could be staged, but please refer to the prior paragraph, lol) It is fair? Well probably not, because there’s no telling how the video ended up at illroots.com. But for an artist with everyone on the line, 50 seems to be expressly not trying to hear anything but heads rolling, the more the merrier. The interesting part will be to see if he really tries to shut down or break away. Remember, 50’s contract is almost up. But to him, an indie like Koch is “a graveyard.”

50 cent i will buy anyone music to put this joker out of business.a ahole and his music suck too.......ck

I like both 50 Cent and Kanye West but havent purchased a cd in years. Why buy it when you can get it for free? I like Kanye better right now though because he is working harder than 50 who is more interested in being a smart business man doing other things besides music

You got a belly laugh out of me on that on ...... :lol:



coo coo coo

how guys like him , jay z , and diddy are worth 1/2 a billion each is one of life's great mysterys ..

50 Cent is subpar rapper who has been fortunate enough to of had some awesome beats.

Kanye is a lot more original and talented. Kanye has created some awesome beats!!!

should be a close one.

"George Bush don't like black people."

Definitely rooting for Kanye.. 50 cent is getting old with his same ass boring tired lyrics from him..

You did it baby!
Congratulations, homie!
You made history!
1.1 million in a short week! [laughs]
Screw a press conference, press this on your conscience!
D-Block, cheers!


Yeah!
I ain't mad, I don't wanna sound mad, I feel marvelous..
D-Block, Double R....

We gon' handle this like grown men, you won't win
You don't even feel comfortable in your own skin
I rap my ass off, I'm fightin' the champ with the glass jaw
at the Garden or Nassau
See me, couple hood niggaz behind stars
I heard you put a couple good niggaz bars, (Preme!)
I might never sell that much
But you can bet your last 2 quarters, I never tell that much
Picture 'Kiss not come out swingin'
It's like going to see 50 at a show and he don't come out singin'
Yeah, you got a felony, but you ain't a predicate
Never the King of New York, you live in Connecticut
You don't be in the hood, you be in the woods
Fuckin' wit' me, is where you really gon' be for good
I hold the 4-5 myself, and hop out the Range on 1-4-5 myself
This is a true fact
Since when has it become cool to get shot and not shoot back
Trackmasters shelfed you, Bravehearts helped you
Then everybody felt you, now I gotta melt you
And don't try to pull rank on 'Kiss
Cause the niggaz I'ma send to do it ain't gon' miss
Be layed up stiff, I spit straight up 'piph
I did real songs with BIG, no made-up shits
And I don't got a problem with clout
You ain't get shot again yet, so what's your second album about? (Nothin'!)
Your raps are pre-school, you made a lot of money, now be cool
'Fore I swell up your lips like seafood
Can I get a mic check? You don't stand a chance
To dance with me dog, ya steps ain't right yet
Block is just fine, homie, the D's straight
Most likely your new CD is a weed plate
Bunch of love songs, 100% pure garbage
Just somethin' to break up buds on
You should just sell clothes and sneakers
Cause outta your whole camp your flow's the weakest
I'm in the town where the young boys is clappin', (clappin')
You runnin' around with the lieutenant and captain, [laughs]
It'll take a lifetime to see 'Kiss
You had to get shot 9 times to be rich
Rat ass nigga, you's a animal
You's a motherfuckin' animal

Pig ass nigga, you's a animal
You's a motherfuckin' animal

Snake ass nigga, you's a animal
You's a motherfuckin' animal

Matter of fact, you ain't no animal
I'ma show these motherfuckers how to handle you


D-Block!




Jada murdered him on that track..

wouldn't it be funny if 50 cent lost by 50 cents ?

What would really be funny would be somebody who didnt see this is a publicity stunt by both their PR firms so as to sell a few discs of what promises to be the last hurrah for the rap industry when they both tank and of course get used by the new anti-freedom of speech crowd...

something else hilarious would be someone saying " he creates awesome beats"
hno:
