KING KANYE!!!! Kanye Set To BEAT GUNS & ROSES ... Sell 600,000 Units In FIRST WEEK SALES!!!

: Who said hip hop is dead. MediaTakeOut.com snitches in the know are claiming that this week Kanye West's new album 808s & Heartbreak will sell somewhere around 600,000 units in its first week out.

Given that the world's biggest R&B singer Beyonce sold only 480K last week, that's a pretty big accomplishment for 'Ye.

Congrats bruh!!!

HIP HOP IS NOT DEAD!!!!!


lmTryingToBeNice

THIS IS JUST A PRELUDE OF MORE WEIRD THINGS TO COME FROM MR. KANYE, IT'S ALL A PART OF HIS COMING OUT PARTY.


SugsWorth

hopefully he will retire soon.


Nanika

I bought the bootleg of Kanye's and I'm mad I spent 5 dollars for that wack sh@t. I didnt like it at all.

The best new album is Ludacris. I went to store and bought a real copy of Luda's album to support him AFTER I heard the bootleg. Luda's should be selling 600,000 units...not Kanye. But since Kanye is doing that pop music sh@t his albums will always sell more


IMEANREALLYNOW

WEIRD AZZ CHICAGO CAT!



SkiTTlez

MTO I CANNOT BELIEVE you are now using Kanye to sideways hate on Bey. WTF?! Yall need to lay off the Haterade real talk

KEEYSHAJ50

YAY KANYE I HEARD HE WAS DOING 550K BUT 600K NOT BAD I LIKE HIS SONGS THE LOVE LOCKDOWN AND HEARTLESS...


placidity

i belive it. that album has cross over appeal. the moment i started hearing my kids singing some of the tunes around the house i knew it would be a cross over sucess. they don't listen to the same type of music i lisened to growing up


placidity

he has to much drama surronding him for my liking so as far as i'm concerned it's good ridance. i'm sure he'll get my kids allowance money tho


KEEYSHAJ50

NOT SURE IF IM GOING TO BUY EITHER RECS BUT GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF THEM ;)


myxy

Kanye's album is garbage and Guns-N-Roses' album is a joke..


SweetPea1000

Good for him but this is the first Kanye album that I have not bought. The whole autotuning thing irks me.


Vana1

DrDoom48

caramel20

i think his album will be hott and interesting none the less and @ IAmSashaFierce how many times are u going to post all that crap about beyonces album being so great when the album is barely average out of all the 16 songs only about 6 is good people dont want to buy an album when less then half the songs are worth listening to


norinomo

timeout. n u guys said last week bey would hit 500-550k so i'm not believing it til i see the numbers...


Spadez

Well it aint happened yet, so dont do congrats so soon. And Kanye new album aint that impressive to me. Where the hell has the rappers gone? They all wanna be F'ing singers now. DAMN, if they wanna sing then they should just go do pop or r n b or some [EXPLETIVE]. Stop calling theirselves rappers if they aint gon rap.


MISSHIPS

lmfao and i love it. that album was fire from say you will to pinocchio story. he sold more than beyonce haha wow thats my boy thats my boy. he was just having fun on that album and out sold gun and roses. kanye is a geinus you'll gotta admit it. oh yeah and that album shouldn't fall under hip hop. just wiat till he comes out with his rap album. *looking around* damn why you'll so madd uh? lmao


MISSHIPS

@placidity i know what you're talking about i heard my niece singing his song too and i asked her where she got it from she told me she heard it on radio disney. thats his first song that ever aired on a childrens network

MISSHIPS

Spadez

It's a shame rappers are trying to be singers and are selling albums this way. Real Rap is dead. This new rap aka the pop star era is here now.


AKeysWannabee

Congrats Kanye wit yo crazy azz.. lol


jaibaker

ok i guess


frsh2death

album aint dat great...songz are horrible..


Mz_cEE

lmao @ whoever said there was more weird shyt 2 come...it's all a part of his coming out party!!

but i like Kanyeezy i hope he aint gay but he has been doin sum pretty weird shyt..I guess this big OBAMA change got erbodi reinventin themselves...btw LUDA album iz da shyt and i still aint listened 2 all of Kanye or Beyonce shyt but 4rm what i heard Ye shyt pretty rite but i only like Single ladies,if i were a boy, and diva off B album


MiztaEntice

i bought sasha fierce- deluxe & i must say i was shocked & amazed by how great the songz were from start to finish.lyrically,vocally-arrangements, beats, song concepts- everything sounds fantastic- it really show cases hear vocal range & its the best cd iv'e ever listened to!! i thought every song was great or really great with the excepton of the last song from both disc, those 2 songz i thought were just too heavy...there are so many stand out songz.

I Am: emotional, timeless, country-folk-acoustic guitar, vulnerable, honest, needy, revealing, effective, meaningful, complex, soul full, piano, honest soothing, relaxing.- every song compliments another & every song goes into the next.Just Perfect & dissapear is the best song she ever recorded!! disc 1 is more complete than disc 2...

best songz from best to least: dissapear if i were a boy ave maria halo broken hearted girl smash into you satellites thats why your beautiful

sasha fierce: sassy, daring,up tempo, complex, sexy, cocky,playful, in your face, electro-universal-urban-R&B, gothic, aggressive base heavy, creative, piano, horns, drums.- radio friendly.ego is the best 1 from disc 2, & this time around bey has 2 sexy songs instead of just 1 hince speechless, t shirt, & kitty kat from previous works: Ego & video phone.(did you really think id be able to describe the sound with just 1 or 2 words??)

sasha fierce: best songz from best to least: ego diva (a milli part 2) single ladies (Church claps) video phone hello radio sweat dreams scared of lonely (sum ghetto?? perhaps)

-the best ALBUM EVER- if you dont agree then your either didnt buy it or your a hater but either way my bey bey iz makin MONEY!! (you said she's overrated but i say she's underrated) its sumthin special about bey which is why her real fans have to hold her cd in their hand instead of download... 10/18 song guarantee & that way more than i can say about some of these other wackness garbage out their...


OneLifeo1

I love his CD!!! He put his heart and soul into it and you can feel it and hear it, I mean Pinocchio Story by itself sums it all up...Kanye keep doing ya thing, the rest of the world will catch up one day.


JusDrew8709

good muzik or not this [EXPLETIVE] a bicth!!!!


allahuakbar

I wanted to see ye and bey go head to head but I think the jigga man didn't want that to go down so ye probaly did him a solid.


beauty_n_bmore

WHATEVA YALL......I LOVE THAT WHOLE CD


PunchDrunkPretty

When was it released? See...Kanye's getting to the point where his antics are hurting him...what he says and does is now overshadowing his music. With all the press about his latest statements at the American Music Awards, I completely missed the fact that he had an album coming out. And that's a big deal since I was one of the people who intended to pick it up... I will though and I'm happy for him..though, as I said, he hurt his sales with antics... If he hadn't overshadowed his release date by "giving away" the American Music Award and saying he wants to be Elvis, he might have sold at least 300K more...Radio stations turned the days before his album came out (assuming MTO is right and it has) into a Kanye carnival, with his always questionable behavior the focal point...


cutenkinky

I will not be purchasing either CD but good luck to both artists.


MzzAnonymouz

Thats why hes a fav of mine....GO YE!!


DannyDan

hmmm

i guess cause he's kanye cause that album shoulda been placed in a R&B category!


msmochachina

Topping Guns n Roses is gonna be hard. He better be on every daytime and late time tv show promoting his butt off. Everyone said MJ was gonna top that when he came back out with Invincible. His numbers weren't even near that. This was MJ we were talking about! I can't root for him 'cause I'm a guns n roses fan, but I will wish him the best of luck on his quest! Can it be done? Yes. Will it be done? I doubt it.



chi-hop

fugg all you haters yeezy is one of the artist that is holding this shish together fugg yall go choke on .45 gunsmoke!!! CHI-TOWN STAND THE FUGG UP!!


chi-hop

p.s. that e-40 is slamming and i will be buying kanye and keyshia cole when she comes out got mad love for the bay area that is my number 2 area next to chi-town of course!!

kanyefan

"50 TOLD ME GO HEAD SWITCH THE STYLE UP, AND IF THEY HATE THE LET THEM HATE AND WATCH THE MONEY PILE UP." - KANYE WEST


kanyefan

AND WHY DOES IT MATTER IF HE ARROGANT, WHEN YOU GOT TALENT LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT [EXPLETIVE], MUHAMMAD ALI WAS ARROGANT AND HE WAS THE BEST, FLOYD MAYWEATHER SAID THIS "I’m running my mouth a lot and I’m looking for a guy to shut me up. If you don’t shut me up I’m going to keep running my mouth" AND NO ONE HAS DONE IT, SAME WITH KANYE B!TCHES.


anonyj

I like both Ludacris' and Kanye West's albums. They are both very different, yet entertaining. I admire Kanye for trying to do something different, and not staying in that box rappers are put into. I like the c.d., but I like his others better. My personal preference is just him as a rapper as opposed to a singer, but I still appreciate his efforts, and creative artistry.

I believe he deserves the attention. Look at the MAJOR trendsetters following after him... JAY-Z is one big example. I don't know who told him he could pull it off, but he's definitely influenced by Mr. West.

He's changed so much in such a small amount of time, and for that I respect him.

CHI-TOWN STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


kanyefan

AND WATCH HOW MANY OF YALL GON BE ON HIS DICK WHEN HIS NEW ALBUM IN JUNE 09....AHAHAHAH YALL WACK ASS [EXPLETIVE] CRACK ME UP.


kanyefan

AND KANYE NEVER SAID HE WAS A RAPPER HE SAID HE IS AN ARTIST, SO HE CAN DO ALL THAT, HE SET TRENDS MAN C'MON YALL BE HATING. IM DONE CONGRATS TO KANYE, KEEP MAKING THAT [EXPLETIVE] WE CAN RELATE TOO...BIG UPS TO ALL HIS HATER.S//

IF HE WAS GARBAGE THEN WHY DO ALL THE RAPPERS LET HIM PRODUCE BEATS AND BE ON THEY SONGS?


briannag

I LOVE HIS CRAZY, ARROGANT ASS


anonyj

Me too Briannag! I love that about him. I think people take him too seriously too. He just does it to get a reaction.


yamomma

Go Kanye... how it feel to wake up to be the [EXPLETIVE] and the urine??? naaahhh nah naaaaahhhhh HATERZ lol...

Kanye's an ARTIST unlike the rest of these bullshyt "rappers"... DIE HATERZ



Nails

That's right MTO, King Kanye. I love that he is from my CITY. And to think, I went to school with him! He has the beat game on LOCK! Looking nice in that picture also, Kanye!


Nails

chi-hop Flag post somebody from chicago must have bust imeanreally azz sounds like hate on my city but keep it up we need you hating muhfukkas just watch it that can get you (in my e-40 voice) MOLLY MOPPED!! ---- Chi, you are so crazy, lol. Hey anonyj, (waves), showing my hometown love!


MISSHIPS

PPLE SLEEPING ON MY BOY, PLZ DONT HIS LYRICS IS DA SHYT HIS BEATS ARE DA SHYT HIS ATTITUDE IS DA SHYT AND HIS FASHION IS DA SHYT. LIKE HE SAID NO ONE ROUND THE CONER GOT A SWAGGER LIKE HIM. N HE IS DAMN RIGHT


MISSHIPS

OH AND DON'T SLEEP ON KID CUDI EITHER


Nails

He's not weird, just not a follower. Almost every rapper TODAY wants to be a follower. He does his own thing, and it is hot!!


STAYPOPPIN01

His CD is scorching!


TheGreatWonder08

wow u manage to hate on my 2 fav artists out rite now! kanye and bey their albums are good you need to open ur mind and listen instead of judging! if it aint about killing or sex u all say its trash

international artist means u appeal to the whole world not just the hood you all need to hop out the box and open ur minds!

You all are sumthing!


anonyj

TheGreatWonder08, I agree with what you are saying.

Off topic, and I'm not attempting to come at you or nothing, but in regards to your signature, MTO doesn't need your respect... especially since you still choose to post. They just need your views. lol


fire4u

make that 599,999 copies. i'm not buying it. i don't even want the bootleg version. this is bullshyt. stop serving up bq ribs during the turky holidays mto. yall ribbing this shyt up. this cd is not a good one.


seaki

but his album was crazy!!! well i mean innovative,...well big ups baby boi!!!!


bigsam404

It's funny, the same people said that about Andre 3000 with that "Love Below" album... What was the result? GRAMMY. It's a good thing when a rapper can go out of the box. Some stuff that you have to say or speak on can't be said in a rap song.


duceconstant

For anybody that don't have that Kanye album yall missing out chalie..That mug is classic on erythang joe.. It hadn't came out the cd player since tuesday fam


iknoimdope

anyone who says 808's is wack is freaking retarded ...the cd is an example of REAL music and not a bunch of fake gangsta cliches. its goo dt o see growth and if you listen to 808's and cant appreciate it then your a sorry fan of music . it is not hip hop people he has grown past that , it is music which the world can feel . do you cnsistantly want to hear about shooting and fake jewels or do you want a cd that you can put on and act grown and just listen and enjoy with anyone...[EXPLETIVE] my mom was feeling it and my boss at work and he's super white ...he said it reminded him of phil collins so he was going to buy it ...50 cent cant reach that fan fan base . one day Kanye will be on the short list of the best musical acts of our time ...period. ...oh and "Bad News" is fire !!!!

KEEYSHAJ50

I MIGHT BUY IT ONE DAY HIS AND LUDA CUZ LUDA SONGS HOTT TOO...


alwaysclassy

still ain't nothing compared to them Thriller sales. Today's music industry sucks!


mypharrell

I love Kanye and his music rocks. I would buy his cd before anybody else. I have all his cd's and I plan on getting his new one soon. Good job KanYe


subterfuge

How in the world will his head fit through doors if his CD sales do reach those numbers


Bulletproof_Loafers

The couple of songs I heard kinda suck to me. I'll give the whole thing an honest listen since a majority in here likes it. That doesnt mean much, because yall be praising some garbage most of the time.


jamrockyouth

why is you guy talking about what kanye said about at the ama if it was a white guy like justin said it they would say nothing racism still exist.why a black man cannot be elvis, is elvis better than boothoven or whats his name i would say no but elvis is a evolution so is kanye.he as taken everypart of music and make it one . most of you dont listen the music luda is not his best its a downgrade now dont get me wrong i rate luda i think he is under rated but please listen to k music listen to the drums listen to the chords its very good i got to say if it was a duo ablum with someone like t pain it would sell more and to miss b i said it before u can go to the past post these songs are from her last ablum single ladies is part 2 of a song solange wrote for the last ablum if i were a boy should have been out a couple years ago but because c one got big they put back the ablum just listen to the and u will feel like it is 2004-2005


RallyVincent

Whatever...


kanyefan

@ BigSam404...thankyou!!! thats all we gotta say son...


Spadez

Well, if he aint no rapper and he an artist all the best rap album awards etc..rap awards in general he needs to give them to somebody else and take his pop singing azz to another genre. Im cool with Kanye, but Im just being real. This is rap, not pop, rock, country or any of that other sh!t. That goes for Wayne and his lollipop sh!t too.


QueenOfStars

GO KANYE!!! G00D JOB EVENTHOGH I DONT LIKE "LOVE LOCKDOWN"....BUT STILL!


nemeziz212

D!@K rider's.... Billboard is saying 400k to 425k sold.. not 600k, sometime i wounder where the hell you get your info from... and i'm not a Big Head West fan.. but i dont hate it.. it's cool. Creative and totally left field.... but thats what hip hop is....


nemeziz212

And to be totally honest... i'm getting sick of the Autotunes.. I wish i can sing genre in hip hop... T-Pain ain't going to have any more albums with all these other dudes playing out his style.. opps.. i mean Roger T's the creator style....


ivey

HIS ALBUM IS PAINFUL TO MY EARS!

I HATE IT!
