debebelle

DubR

JukeBox

because the first people who bought the album burned it and is selling it on the streets!

whose the sucker now Kanye/50?


Scarlett

It don't matter Kanye went platinum the first week anyway!...lol



whatwhatwhat

1st week sales are what it's all about. In this new industry the only music with legs are going to be the Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey type. Rap is history folks. It's become a novelty act. A minstrel show.


ladytee35

This "NEW" hip hop/rap is totally garbage. I don't have any of their music in my collection and don't plan on buying it. But if yall want a nice CD Keisha Cole CD is off that hook and so is Justin TImberlake not one song on either album will you want to skip.


FreshPrince69

people dont buy records no more, you get it for free online or you buy the bootleg ,i see that 80% of 50 cents fans buy bootleg cd's or download his album , and for kanye his album is ok but i relate more to 50 album , but i know whats he's talkin about , plus i love guns, i deal with them alot ,lol


KEEYSHAJ50

I BEEN SAID THIS ANYWAY THEY BOTH STILL DOING GOOD AND I SEE YE PLAT IN 2WKS COOL ;) BUT 50 SILL GOLD HERE NOT PLAT LIKE HE BEEN WAS WITH HIS 1ST 2 ALBUMS HE WAS IN 1WK :( OH WELL IM STILL HAPPY FOR MY BABY ;)


thatgirlthere

They both suck anyways. 50 is gay and Kanye is a bitch.


Dwifey

Can we please stop it, black people. Just be happy. We following this closer then the Jena 6 story. Please stop.


djenx

Kanye albums good, haven't heard 50. but i dunno why ppl expect to sell a lot of cd's out the record store when u can download for free or get it from the bootleg guy 2 for $5


texas_sweety

Yal got to get Keyshia... It's really good.


needloot

Well, music industry is in the slumps anyway. No ONE is selling like they used to anymore. People pay too much money for Gas, Transportation,Food, Milk..etc. People Cant afford to pay for a CD or stupid enough to buy a CD and they know they need to eat lunch with that money.

moneymakesu

the`ve fallen off because,both albums were complete garbage!They promoted these artist like prize fighters, that no one wanted to see.MAYBE IF THEY FOCUSED MORE ON THE MUSIC,AND LESS ON THE HYPE,THEY COULD SELL SOME REAL RECORDS.


KEEYSHAJ50

SCARLETT HEY BOO WHATS GOOD MAMA ;)


Ak8032704

too much hype..


HardCore

I got one for you!

I don't know *ANYONE* who has any of their CDs. And I know lots and lots of people..

Give me a fucc'en break....



HarlemsSweetest

How can they be falling off the charts when Kanye has the #2 album in the country and 50 has the #3 album???


girlygirl

That's because people don't really buy music anymore. Everyone got caught up in the hype of the Clash of the Titans....that will NEVER happen again. It's back to downloading for everyone!


katatm

yeah...who today really needs to buy cd's?

i bet there's two times more ppl who have these both...but somehow their numbers isnt include LOL

anyway, they made good job, kanye and 50


devilofcv

vanilla_one

Kanye Could Do Double Platinum But I cant say the same for 50! He's only good overseas!!


buckcherry02

foxyloxy2000

they both have to be plat right now so does it still matter?


TheRose

For Kanye it's no surprise.

For both, people saw through their ploy to get record sales. People are not as dumb as they think. Will 50 retire? I doubt it. How is going to pay his bills.


pernell10

yea. Hype sells records in the first week of release, but good quality music keeps the good sales going weeks after. Nobody wants to hear 50 pennies brag about all the money that his fans have given him. Kanye is ok, but after u listen to the album about 2 times then u are tired of it.


crafty

BIG CRAFTY IN THE HOUSE!

OF COURSE THE SELLS SLOWED DOWN, EVERYONE BOUGHT THE DAMN CD IN THE FIRST WEEK DUMMIES.


duecemom2004

MOST OF THESE COMMENTS ARE STUPID BUT FOR THE PERSON THAT ASKED HOW 50 WILL PAY HIS BILLS.50 IS WORTH OVER 400 MILLION I THINK HE CAN PAY HIS BILLS PLUS HE HAS A DEAL WITH APPLE COMPUTER'S 50 HAS BIG MONEY ALSO HE SELLS SEX TOYS....


ace_diggy

They was bootlegged the first week... they are quadruple platinum in the hood right now.



cashbanks
