I haven’t mentioned the outcome of the 50 Cent vs. Kanye West first-week-sales-battle (also known as big marketing stunt)…if you heard about it. Both hip-hop artists released albums on 9/11/07 and (as if there was any real competition) Kanye sold almost 1 million albums in the first week, beating 50 Cent’s album sales of around 500,000. During the months leading up to the album release date, 50 Cent said he would retire if Kanye outsold him. Please do…I hope he keeps his word! (lol) 50 just can’t compete lyrically or otherwise…sorry Boo.
See below some of my favs so far from Kanye’s Graduation (2007)… (other than “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”)
