Name 3 RAPPERS dat sold more den 50 (1st wk) in the last year.......GTFOH

[usmarin3]

It's a marathon dude, anyone can pop for a minute but not anyone can have longevity. I would rather have a career like Snoop,Jay,Nas,etc where i have 15 platinum albums than selling 15 mil and falling off 3 albums later.

50 Cents career is Nelly and DMX status right now!

 

[stafresh]

See dats where yall all fuked up at. I'ma big 50 fan.........but I KNEW he was not on a Snoop, Jay, Nas, type level bruh. Come on now. I don't give a fuk how many units GRODT moved. With that said, mufuckas is too quick to throw Fif in da Nelly/DMX role. He just fell back wit da REST OF THE INDUSTRY.......that's all. Well, he's actually still selling more than 97% of the industry....lol.....but whatever mane. Men lie, women lie...........#'s don't............and the #'s SAY...50 is still a decent selling rap artist. ***unno*** maybe I'm slow....ha.

The ONLY rappers capable of moving 175k + 1st week and eventually going gold are: Jay Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nas, Kanye, TI..............and some of them are not even given anymore. It'll be interesting to see what Drake and J Cole move.

FUK SALES..............BISD, War Angel, Forever King >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have to agree with stafresh
he flopped to his standards

50 pushed 360k and is still on the chart. He has legit business ventures, besides the typical clothing line BS
where is Snoop, where is Baby, where is Rick Ross, where is Triple C's, Rebirth keeps getting pushed back cause the label is afraid of over saturation of Wayne. Nelly is irrelevant and so is DMX, sup with Gucci, that dude was EVERYWHERE and still only pushed 200k to date.

What Hip Hop artist or act released in the 3rd or 4th Quarter (outside of Jay Z) sold more than 50, then compare how many were released.

 

[mr.getwitcha]

Naw, he flopped. Get over it. It took him 2 weeks to do what Ross did in 1. When Ross sold that much yall were in here talking about how bad Ross flopped. 50 was a multiplat dude and still couldnt even do $200K in 2 weeks. Dont forget that 50's 1st week of itunes sales was included in that $160K. So really 50 only sold about $110K and its more than 3 rappers that did that this year.

Getwitcha

Get over what my dude? lol. Like I said bruh..........MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE...........#'s don't. 50 is still a TOP 5 selling rap artist..........I don't give a fuk how he got to 160k. 1+1 still = 2 my nig. And I personally never said Ross flopped. My nigga Kiss did 140k and I was thrilled wit dat.........so how would Ross 150k be a flop? Fact is......if you move 100k+ 1st week, you atleast have a shot at going gold. Which today, is an accomplishment.

Look what Young Money just did!!!!!!! !110k?????????????????????? 14 months after Wayne sold 1 mill in a week????????????????? lol. Da whole industry is DONE.......i suggest dese niggaz find new jobs. Dats like Beg For Mercy doin 100k back in '05 after Fif dropped GRODT. Den Gucci just dropped 100k wit his buzz????????????????? If Drake don't sell, smh.....................

smh @ yall expecting 50 to have a career like Snoop, Nas, Jay etc.......................lol. Da fuk outta here................they are some of the greatest of ALL TIME for a reason. Fif will drop 2 more albums............sell just about 200k-500k on each one and fade into oblivion. Bet da muzik is dope though............

So whats wrong with longevity? 50's music doesn't appeal to people enough for him to have true longevity, and for that to happen he needs to reinvent himself.

 

[Brooklyn Boy]

if fif does one type of music yall niggas gon b callin him a sell out but if he keeps talkin this "gangsta" shit yall gon shit on him too by sayin he does the same n doesnt change his style.. so its a lose lose situation for him.. yall niggas gonna bitch for anythin he does anyway

 

[da champ]

I definitely agree that 50 flopped for his standards, but 50 publicly helped apply the pressure of selling an absurd amount of units on himself. Any backlash he receives is self-imposed. This is the guy that said if an album isn't going to sell a lot of records an artist should keep it in his/her ipod and not release it. This is the guy that equated record sales with the quality of a product.

With that said, I thought BISD was his best album in a minute. I actually bought a copy, but I'm not shedding a tear for the guy 'cause he didn't sell. I'm not sure how many people sold more than 50K, but I know Rick Ross definitely put up just over 150K

I don't think anyone is shedding tears for 50 album sales!! At least not fans, stans... well thats a different story! It is what it is! But I agree with the TS. He flopped to his standards! I never cared about sales anyway, not from any rapper!!!

On a side note, I know Snoop is a legend in the game, with the longevity an all, but I would rather to listen to 50's worst single, from his worst album, then that shit Snoop been spittin latley!!

 

[stafresh]

I don't know bout "longevity"..............not many in da industry do what the greats (LL, Jay, Nas)..etc....have done. So why expect a nukka like Fif to put up (Wilt, Mike, Magic) type #'s???????????????? Yall tryin to hard mane. Fif was NEVER on dat level. But for as long as he's puttin albums out, he'll never do a Nelly/DMX type slide outta da industry. Yall reachin. Philosopy 101, it's called a slippery slope.

He'll be a TOP 10 selling artist for ATLEAST 2 more albums den bow out.

 

[gee757]

lol......I see yall niggaz still in here wit da same bullshit...ha. I'ma 50 fan....yall know dat, and he MOST DEFINITELY flopped wit Before I Self Destruct. I'ma fan, not a stan. BUT, he flopped to his standards.......period. There aren't more than 3 rappers who've sold more den the 160/k he moved. So get da fuk outta here wit da CAREER OVER talk....if his career is over, what about the other 97% of rappers selling LESS than him.....lol.

All sales talk aside..............this album is his 3rd best and has a good "east coast/ny" feel to it. We need that today....BAD. Kiss, Cam, Beans, Fif, and Banks............>>>>>>>>

ON another note................J Cole is killin em........and that new Hi Tek and Kweli junt is NICE....................good to see da IC BACK!

cuuuurly only really sold like 110k da 1st wk that duuuunkey was cheatin addin them 2wk itune #z so that shit dont count.....wooodface brought all this on his self fa bein a muuunkey sayin dumb shit like i drop 700k on a dud lol..

Get over what my dude? lol. Like I said bruh..........MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE...........#'s don't. 50 is still a TOP 5 selling rap artist..........I don't give a fuk how he got to 160k. 1+1 still = 2 my nig.

If Drake don't sell, smh.....................

LOL @ this cat trying to compare a solo album with a group album to justify why it took his hero to sell 160K in 2 weeks. 1 week + 1 week = 2 weeks. If you dont add itunes in that means 50 did about 110K. I can easily name 3 rappers that did better than that. Em, Jay, Ross, Jada. LOL even YM did better than he did in a week. Plus to compare 2005 to 2009 is absurd...smh...especially when the niggas in g-unit dont even have a deal.

Getwitcha

 

[gee757]

itz pathetic how these duuunkey azz cuuuurly groupiez just wont let da muuunkey die they will find any & every way 2 try & justify all da muuunkey shit but da public has spoke ITZ ON 2 NEXT1......j said it best on a star is born cuuuuurly came threw like a hurricane & now da storm has die off & itz time fa woodface 2 retire & spend that white manz $$$ that he suck'd dick fa or get shot fuuukin around...lol

 

[ar1134]

Why are 50 fans STILL defending the flop? It's a flop, and only like 3 songs are worth listening to (unless you've heard his other albums, then none of the songs are worth hearing because he's saying the same shit).

Wayne sold 1 million (best album, sales wise) in this VERY SAME climate..............and den 1 year later he is the highlight of the Young Money album and it sells 100k????????????? lol. Da fuk outta here.............u sound like CAPTAIN KIRK.....tryna save a hoe.

In 2005, GRODT sold a bunch....and den a couple months later.............Beg for Mercy did the same thing (sold a bunch)

My point is G UNIT's 1st group album sold more den Young Money's. Yes I know it's 05 vs 09 but Young Money's shit should have ATLEAST did 3-400K. Dey both (group albums) were riding the coat tails of Fif and Wayne (when both were at their top sales wise)...............one sold, one did not.

Just wait till Rebirth drops.............lol. NOBODY is selling no more............NOBODY! You'll see. Everyboy......everybody *kiss voice*

AT THE END OF THE DAY........................................no matter how Fif got dat 160k....................dat 160 is MORE THAN ANY RAPPER IN DA GAME not named, Eminem or Jay-Z...........................................PERIOD..............as long as your realize that, we're good.

CLOSE THREAD.................*bumps OBFCL2*

But you just implied what everyone else is saying. 50 is not one of the greatest of all time and the only thing keeping him afloat is the money he's already made. All that fake beef he thrived on won't work anymore. All those interviews of him spitting his lil industry knowledge and making fun of other rapper's numbers are biting him in the ass. Speaking as a former fan of 50 Cent's music, his career is a publicity stunt on life support.

Stop bringing the Young Money album up, that has nothing to do with Lil Wayne's solo career. How many times do I have to tell you that Rap Compilation albums NEVER SELL??? The best selling rap comp did about 1.5mil total (Ruff Ryders Vol. 1) and that was dead in the middle of when DMX was putting out 3x, 4x, 5x platinum albums.

Naw.........what I'm implying is that yall niggaz who fell for da okey doke when Fif moved millions of records. Fif is NICE to me, especially on his underground ish, but he'll never be a HISTORIC EMCEE or overal artist. MY POINT IS, some of dese mufuckaz is tryna throw Fif immediately into the NELLY/DMX category when the #'s are proving that far from correct. Period. Men lie, women lie, #'s don't. That's my whole point..........and aint nobody up in this thread (3 pages deep), listed 3 RAPPERS who sold more 1st week den Fif.................lol............shit's hilarious.
