50 Cent to Quit if Outsold by Kanye West AP Posted: 2007-08-10 17:59:11 Filed Under: Music News NEW YORK (Aug. 10) - 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.\ Whoever wants to destroy 50's solo career, support by buyin them kanye cds, but that means we'll see alot more "GUNIT" as a whole lmao.................cuuurrrrrtttttttissss
i dotn like neither but Kanye always had a hidden message in his song and plus, so far i picked out he doesnt sexually exploit women...i think....
Can 50ty raise the stakes a lil higher then that and put his life on it? I mean....he already had 5 bullets and that didnt kill him. If he put his life on the line, then i will believe. LOL!
This fool thinks everybody's success is because of him... f**k 50... he'll outsell because Jimmy Ivoine is paying a load of money to ensure he's album blows up on the charts. Kanye is way more talented and creative then that snitch.
GO KANYE!!! If 50 is gone at least we dont have to watch his dumb/low music vids anymore... His ugly "pimp" head & those half naked women jumping and bouncing around...yuck
