50 Talks Album Sales; Blames Interscope
Published Wednesday, September 12, 2007 6:30 PM

By Nolan Strong
Rapper 50 Cent recently commented on his first week's album sales projections, which estimate that his new album Curtis will move 550-600,000 units, about 200,000 less than Kanye West's new album Graduation.

The two rappers have been engaged in a "feud" over who's album would top the album charts over the past few months.

50 Cent appeared on Angie Martinez' Hot 97 show today (September 12) and blamed the album's second place status on Interscope Records.

"To be honest the process of selling this record hasn't been fun," 50 Cent said. "I'm happy with the performance, but I'm not happy with the set up. We had conference calls and after we created this plan, nobody actually had a plan."

According to first day sales data, Kanye West's Graduation is outselling 50 Cent's Curtis by a ratio of 2 to 1.

50 Cent also issued a warning to Def Jam, claiming he would release a new album every time the label had a big release.

"Hypothetically, if I came in under Kanye West, I would release a new album every time Def Jam had a priority. I would release a record verses every one of their top priorities," 50 Cent said.

50 Cent also said that he was finished with Interscope after the release of his next album, which will fulfill his contractual obligations to the label.

"It was the label," 50 Cent said. "Their dropping the ball all over the place. I'll release my next album and then I'm a free agent."

like ur name says real talk

every person i know loved 50's shit when he was in the power of the dollar and get rich or die tryin days...ever since massacre dropped and he has been puttin out whackass pop songs with horrible lyrics he's lost respect from the true real rap fans....

he strayed away from what got him successful and left his original true fan base for the mainstream market and in the end thats fuked him over cuz the real rap fans have lost respect 4 him and wont support a wana be pop artist

tight2def · 09-12-2007, 09:55 PM

the promotion has been lackluster this time around
he use to be all over MTV with his other releases, it was like monumental
now it's like the label waitin on him to make the next moves, and lettin his shit leak so looseleaf, i'd be mad too, he should be more priority to them and they should be pushin his shit like it's baby labor with the amount of money he dun brought them with previous projects

HipHpisdead · 09-12-2007, 09:55 PM

^^^truth.

i liked get rich or die tryin, but when he started releasing songs like candy shop and amuesment park i started to hate 50.

edit: the truth is toward 8 ballin's post

Na he didnt, game did like 440k or something like that, he came out same week as akon n akon has less first week sales but akon won sales against game over by double, so we'll see what happens with 50
