lmao @ Banks doing WORSE then Tony Yayo numbers.....
 
"In 2004, G-Unit soldier Lloyd Banks' debut disc, The Hunger for More, opened at #1 on Billboard's albums sales chart, with week-one sales topping 433,000, and Hunger ended up spending a second-straight week at #1, selling close to 164,000 units.

Of course, Banks would have liked to have seen the same results for his sophomore LP, Rotten Apple — an album that features a slew of special guests, including G-Unit associates Tony Yayo and Young Buck, Rakim, Scarface, Mobb Deep, and, on three cuts, 50 Cent.

But with first-week sales totaling close to 143,000, Banks fell more than 40,000 albums short of a chart-topping repeat, and will have to settle instead for the chart's #3 position. Because this week, the #1 slot belongs to Rod Stewart's Still the Same ... Great Rock Classics of Our Time. Rowdy Rod's new one sold to the tune of more than 184,000 its first week in record stores, which was more than enough for Billboard's title belt.

According to the latest SoundScan figures released Wednesday morning (October 18), a second-place finish wasn't even in the cards for Mr. Banks. That's because with more than 164,000 additional copies of The Open Door being carried away from retail outlets last week, Evanescence — who occupied the chart's #1 spot last week, with 447,000 in week-one scans — are sitting pretty at #2, having suffered the typical and expected second-week sales slump: a 63 percent drop.

isn't lloyd banks getting his album pushed on itunes as well? you know, the ol extra songs incentive?

Thats cuz Game has a thing called "SKILL" check into it. G-Unit just rambles about senseless shit, theres only so many time i can hear the same old shit recycled

Past Tense 10-18-06 11:32 PM

Game has variety and he words his lines alot better i see a movie in my head when Game raps, when 50 comes on i wana stab my eardrums, he uses punches and metas 50 talks about lollipops guns and anal rapping yayo

Past Tense 10-18-06 11:52 PM

I am yet to hear a track about 50 cent anal raping Yayo......Yayo is wack to me.....I haven't really ever felt him sept on that Live By THe Gun song....The Game uses to many damn references to other rappers and that "Change of Heart" video didn't help him to much...50 is selling out more and more second by second and losing fans mintue by mintue..i'll give both artists like 2 more years and they'll be gone
