Sep 11, 2017 So it's been 10 years since 50 vs Kanye Yeezy West Kanye decided to put album the same day as 50 Cent scheduled his third studio album Curtis on September 11th. Graduation sold 954 000 copies first week , almost a milli basically and Curtis sold 691 000, basically 700 k , 200 k less than Yeezy. What you think about this moment in hip hop history?
Sep 11, 2017 50 started everything for promotion. He was getting washed up already and Kanye was/is still the GOAT.
Sep 11, 2017 50 was already on the decline , everyone knew it was for publicity put them h2h in their prime 50 would outsell by some big margin
Sep 11, 2017 this was an a--- whooping which 50 gave to himself lmao he got money off it tho kinda similar to meek and drake
Sep 11, 2017 This battle split rap basement in two, everyone either had a Kanye avatar or a 50 avatar. Good times. I never heard Curtis in full actually haha
Oct 2, 2017 I'm a bit late but better late than never The day graduation was released was the day gangsta rap f----- off. Kanye's a god
Oct 2, 2017 lol it wasnt 50's idea.. he had pissed a lot of people off back then and this battle led to his divorce with interscope. also if you think that kanye won by real sales you re either too young or too ignorant..
Oct 2, 2017 It was obivous 50 wouldn't outsell Kanye. But even though Kanye has some good music, he is a complete jerk off. On the other hand, 50 is very entertaining guy. And if we talkin' sales, I don't think Kanye ever went as much platinıum as 50 did. 50 was huge, probably the second biggest rapper after Eminem back then and actually surpassed Em in 2005. His singles were tearing the clubs up. Still they play few gems from him. I still hear p---- even though it has been 15 years...
Oct 2, 2017 ummm Kanye sold more records than 50.He has never sold as much on a single project like 50 but I would rather take Kanye's consistency and longevity over 50s short but powerful run.
Oct 4, 2017 Kanye's album sales in total barely reaches Get Rich Or Die Tryin' s sales. ( A lil bit of exegguration here but you get the point) So your first sentence is completely wrong. Probably because u live in USA u talk like dat. But if u consider the whole world, it's not really hard to say. 50 used to be sooo big. Kanye was never that big. But u might say Kanye is better artist or things like that.
Oct 4, 2017 Kanye is one of the most successful artists with around 110 millions record sold. 50 has sold like what 40? please...it's not even a contest
Oct 4, 2017 110 million ? That's Eminem lol :D U r lying. Kanye barely sold 11 million records. He has like 6 albums and non of them are even diamond in US. He can't even sell more than a milli outside US. How is he sold 110 million records ? U already lost this argument by saying that... EDIT: http://www.statisticbrain.com/kanye-west-total-album-sales/ http://www.statisticbrain.com/50-cent-total-album-sales-statistics/ Take a look at these. I know 50 didn't sell much but he sold more than Kanye. But 50's album sales were never his strongest suit anyway. His singles tho. And GRODT sold like tonss... So ok u can go ahead and say Kanye is better. But u cannot deny the facts.
