50 vs Kanye Pt. II?

Any predictions on who's going to sell more? I'm not sure if 50 can do 07 numbers, especially during these times.

 

[mayhemmonkey000]

This shouldn't be a question.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

50 didnt learn the 1st time?

 

[bigavelli]

Jay wins

 

[dipsetgeneral]

stop it... 50 Cent will win this... compare 50 Cent first week numbers of GRDT/TM/Curtis to ANY of Jay-Z highest selling Debut week numbers and you alreadyknow the statistics will be the deciding factor.

Who cares who sells more? At the end of the day...
50 & Jay = Taking you're money.
You take an L for falling into this publicity...

 

[blackmagnus514]

Sales hype. Jimmy and Lyor prolly sat down and agreed to do this for sales.

 

[undefinedinc]

Jay-z don't really do mind blowing numbers in his opening or record sales period if you guys haven't noticed.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

It's sad that hip hop artists have to stoop to ignorant WSHH videos and publicity stunts just to have the same mediocre sales as the rest of the industrythat uses half the effort

 

[visualmusic]

Its not a big deal people. I'm not going to refuse to buy Jays album to not fall in the trap..I was already planning on copping.
Its a marketing scheme that brings in more sales. Kind of cheesy if you ask me, but it gets the job done whether I agree with it or not.

 

[sosincere09]

was buying both to begin with, buying both now. GREAT DAY FOR NEW YORK (

) no matter who wins.

 

[optimusprimeaphia]

50 coming up short based on GP of his material lacking lately...even if it was the same stuff... I'm just not into that right now...

either way, this is just a stupid marketing ploy and the fans are jsut being herded around...

personally, that never made sense to me because fans dont have money to spend on two albums like that in these times.

 

[visualmusic]

50 hasn't made true quality music since his debut. Lets see how this works out before we call it a great day for New York. Jay on the other hand, has mecompletely hyped.

Jay aint with DJ no more so i dont think it can be some big UMG conspiracy to gain more sales.

whats wrong with good marketing? i dont see this as any different than any other sales promo.

PS us in the marketing/advertising arena wouldnt be good @ what we do if the so called "sheep" didnt respond to the stimuli...

Curtis was trash, ill give you that but....
get rich ost? bodysnatchers? elephant in the sand? all the good g-unit radios? war angel?
The massacre was a good album, it just didnt live up to the hype.

Jay > Kanye > 50

well in a radio interview....50 kinda hinted at the 50 vs kanye was set up by them cuz he said he called jay z to say wat the %++! was wrong withkanye west, he wasnt fueling the fire for them to sell more albums/controversy

 

[uclamike]

in this day and age where its hard to sale already it would be dumb

 

[essential1]

best idea is have a marketing strategy call it; THIS IS NY... Have a tour Jay, 50, can't think of 3rd person right now, and drop all albums within a monthof each other.. Jay-Z on 9/11. 50 on 9/22 and 3rd artist 10/6
