50 blames DEF JAM for Kanye out selling him!!!

IP: 64F8 17E4

50 Cent has reportedly accused Def Jam Records of manipulating Kanye West's album sales.

According to New York's Daily News, 50 (born Curtis Jackson) made the accusations during an interview with British based magazine Uncut.

"He's never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has," Fif said. "They could have only one scan and have it count four times. West's entire career hasn't sold half what I sold on my first album.

Both rappers' released their third solo albums last week. As of Friday, Nielsen's SoundScan figures showed that West's Graduation had shifted 600,000 discs while 50's Curtis had reportedly sold 430,000 copies. Over the weekend, several music industry trade publications like Billboard and Hits have estimated West's projected sales around 800,000 copies, with 50 selling in the range of 600,000.

Billboard's Geoff Mayfield countered 50's claims saying that there is a slim chance that Def Jam would have doctored the sales figures.

"The people who built SoundScan put safeguards in place to track sales that don't look kosher," Mayfield explained.

Representatives for 50 Cent and Kanye West did not return calls when contacted. Ironically, both artists are tied to the same corporation, Universal Group, which owns Def Jam and Interscope.

its just sad, 50 lost fair and square, he just needs to realize that he's lost a lot of fans and nobody cares about his music anymore. lmoa!!!!! he never was but so good. but now he dont even have such a huge fanbase any more. sad sore loser. SMH

Kanye made a much better album than 50, but it really wouldn't surprise me if this was true. Afterall, Jay-Z was found out about that twice, with The Dynasty and The Black Album.

I wouldn't be suprized if both of them were doing it. both there cd's were to fucking wack to spend 14.99 on.

I got a computer why the fuck should I buy music to support idiots like this? I think i'll go out and buy 5 more copies of Talib just to help a good rapper.

@big picture^ truth.


even if i did wanna hear fictional tales about drugs & street violence i'd atleast pick someone who does it with some lyrical talent like multis, wordplay and punchlines like "40 cal. cassidy, lil wayne, t.i., etc."

this is a typical 50 line.
her ass, is fat, she loves me, dawg/
my heat, the gat, i'm down ta blow/

i swear 50's the only non-southern rapper that can rhyme dawg with blow. he dont even have a new york accent. or maybe its just cuz he always sings the last word of everyline.
