: Today is a sad day for hip hop. MediaTakeOut.com's insiders tell us that absent some EXTRAORDINARY uptick in sales, 50's new album Before I Self Destruct will sell only 150,000 copies in its first week.
To put that in perspective, Rick Ross last album Deeper Than Rap sold 158,000 units in its first week.
What happened?? It's not clear, but we think that 50 spent the last couple of years doing everything EXCEPT making good music and he lost all his momentum.
He also CONFUSED his audience. I mean one day you hear him on FOX Business talking about how he's this great businessman, then the next day he releases some music where he tells you he's a goon.
In either case, it's sad to see 50 fall off this hard. Hopefully dude will put down all his other stuff and concentrate on making music. It's never too late for a comeback.
lol@ the idiots sayin it's for "fun" no you ignorant coon....it's for "life" how do you think rappers get paid?? By you downloading it free on limewire with ya cheap self? What... do you think it didnt cost money to put an album together??? lol He failed...I highly doubt he thought it was going to do that.....smfh@ u
His record is booty. 50 hasn't made any real good music for a minute now. He should never pit himself against someone to see who sells the most units becuz he'll get slaughtered everytime. I remember him and Kanye was doing that whole thing when his last album dropped.....of course Kanye sold more units. Like Jay Z says, "women lie, men lie but numbers don't". 50 need to get a clue. Somebody need to start phucckin with him about his album sales....then he'd see how it feels to be clowned like he does other dudes.
I also believe that the music industry has to find a better way for artists music to sell rather than making actual albums...Even though many ppl still physically purchase cds,they haven't nowhere near as hot since the mp3 & of course,the rather popular Ipod took over....online downloading/sharing is where it's at
AAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! That's what he get for being such a b!tch a$$ mutha fuka!!!! He a looser!!! AND he ugly. No wonder he so angry. He wears his jealousy on his sleeve. That's why he beefin with everybody because he jealous of their success. Bottom feeder ass mutha fuka. Someone said it, but I'll repeat...KARMA IS A B!TCH!! And Karma is all up in this Gorilla's a$$!! Better start saving your money [EXPLETIVE]!! Im laughing straight to da bank with this. HA HA HA HU HA HA HA HAAAA!!!
That's RIGHT!! Come on BLACK peoples we got to stop supporting these rappers who do nothing but EXPLOIT our community at the expense of OUR MONEY. Aren't we TIRED of giving these coons our HARD-EARNED cash while they call the sistas hoes, the brothers n*iggas, and degrade our very consciousness by making it appear that all black folks do is worship that paper and material possessions. Screw 50, Jay and the rest of them. Hope they never sell another album again.
Oh and maybe if he stopped his focus on Rick Ross and the man's son and ex-girlfriend then he could do something substantive. Dude is a joke!! No, unlike Jay Z, you cannot be a business man and rap at the same time. You are not made for that 50!! Whatever happened to the investigation of you burning down your son's and his mother's house that you no longer wanted them to have. Oh, and while you got your teeth fixed, why didn't you do the same for that bell pepper nose??!!!
Truth be told, the slower songs are better on his cd. It's just hard to believe 50 as a thug, when he's living like Trump. Listen to Jay Z, Dead Presidents is way opposite from Blueprint 3. Rick Ross still has a better cd.MoNeYcHaSeRmEl is right, I think Rhianna may be next,though sales wise she may do good numbers. I think her cd will suck, from I what I heard so far...and Chris Brown sounds good so far. Word is that his cd will be hot.
50 cent has not made a good record since "In the Club" and that was all Dr. Dre!! the only reason he is still making music and movies is because the powerful white man who backs him thinks that black people love him!! We don't love 50 cent like that and as soon as they realize that, then its over for 50 cent. Once a celebrity gets plenty of money then all they want is the fame and exposure!! Its not about the money anymore!! Thats why this clown keeps picking fights with artist who are more talented than him. The better artist is ALWAYS the one getting attacked, not doing the attacking!!
Rihanna and Jay-z have the best cd i've heard thus far this year. Everybody whos on the same hip hop and r&b lullaby [EXPLETIVE] is gonna get left... trey songz, mario, a keys, beyonce all were very good because they are diff. Anyone bringing lullabys and the same r&b crooning is gonna get left. its all about mixing alternative and pop now. i also like chris brown's crawl but not transformer tho its a head bopper. its of no substance.
Dang, 50. He had to know this was coming.Well it has nothing to do with economics and recession.An artist of his caliber should sell at least 250.000 units, even in a recession. Usher sold over 400,000 copies of his last cd,(in week one).. TI sold almost a million in one week, and even JayZ recently sold over a million copies. You New York and Philly fans are not supporting your artist! Southern Rap has taken over , plain and simple. Never will you see Lil wayne, TI, Luda,or Young Jeezy will numbers like this. You all are so much up in Jayz's wack azz, that you all are about to put 50cent in the 99cent bin!lmaofffffff! Poor 50. What will he say now?
man thats bullshit its not even a source that post that MTO got look like a comment on a page and rick ross [EXPLETIVE] sold 150 k and his group just sold 12 k
yea fifty sales aint gon be what they suppose to be becuz his album leaked and he dont have a hit single like a run this town on his [EXPLETIVE] Baby By Me Knocc but the single aint high enough for good sells if Luda did 225 K 1st week on his last 1 I see fifty doing about 270 k-310 k 1st week but i dont you cant tell with music today becuz Pitbull and songs I aint never heard are top 5 singles on the Charts rite now
@SheebaBaby:
And I blame that on 50!
@LamarPharoah
Thank You!
@Kingofny1
Officer Ricky did more... STILL LMFAO!!!
This is what 50 supposedly "smart" as$ don't understand about Ross. He was a C.O., not FHP (Florida Highway Patrol or Miami PD). He went to the jail where the dudes was already at, and made CONNECTIONS!!! Compared to Fiddy dumb arse, that's GANGSTA!!! Cause them dudes behind bars is still runnin the streets and moving units, and who's doin it for em? That's right, short sighted 50 fans, the men watching and talking to them everyday.
Hahahahah @DaRudeCommunicator: I don't want to follow you on twitter, myspace or visit your stupid blog. Stop posting that trash and get some friends. The guys who do that crap must have no friends or life to get up each morning just to post that crap. F**k you and everything you stand for and I hope you catch a virus from ur stupid s**t cock suckers!
That 150k total is in DIGITAL sales only. It doesn't factor in CD sales because his CD didn't hit the shelves until Tuesday. They are going to combine his digital sales from last week with his CD sales from this week and that will be the true total figure. Stop stirring up drama MTO and check your facts first.
If it's such a sad day then why am I rejoicing?! Lol! that's what this fool GET. Nicca was hollerin' bout how he was neva gon' go commercial and ni look @ em. I knew his day would come. But this is just the beginning for his "Fail". He took down niccas like: Ja, Ross, & Fat Joe. I'd like to see him get @ dudes like Plies, Wayne, TI, hell even Gucci Mane <-- I mean, they are on the same level lyrically. Lmao, sorry to any 50 stans, but this dude had it coming.
I have never bought one of his albums and never will but from the stuff that he releases he's an r&b thug that's why chicks dig him (i suppose) 50 is not invincible you can't go through life fu*king over people and not think it's going to come back to you idc how much money he has that means nothing to the man that controls all of us. he needs to focus on his music and he is not doing it for fun he wanted those sales because he always wants something he can brag about. i dont wish any bad on anyone but karma is a bytch and he deserves everything he gets he acts like a lil hood bytch anyways
U bloggers believe everything these bulls/h/i/t sites print,u have to remember that MTO aint a real news source,only 2 out of 10 of their stories are actually true.They have a bunch of 5th graders running this site and one gay guy,(not trying to offend anyone),this site and its bloggers are all adolescents.
Yasss that fat bald bird bitch KEEYSHAJ50 is mad bwahahahhahahhahahha hah flop ass he lost his whole fanbase bawhwahahahhahahhahh ahaha Officer Ricky sold more than him lma[SPAM][SPAM]ooooooo Now maybe your bald headed ass wont be on Mediatakeout all day hating on Ciara. Get a job you [EXPLETIVE] whore
Everytime MTO says something bad about 50 he responds to it on his website, last time 50 got in MTO azz, MTO backed down as if someone stuck a gun in their face. I'm waiting to see what 50 will say about MTO this time! 50 album just dropped on the 16th, today is the 19th. 150,000 in 3 days, I'm pretty sure he WILL sell 8,000 more in the next 4 days.... Wait a minute! Today just started, so he sold 150,000 in 2 days!! Since when is this a flop. At this rate, this album will out sell everybody else this year! MTO needs to enroll back in somebodys math class
That is what happens when you don't get out there and do show after show...Look at how hard Wayne works...If you wanna sell millions you need to put everything into your music not making videos acting like a pimp are all that fake rap beef Sh*t...I wasn't really expecting 50 to sell over than what he did just for the fact the G-Unit album didn't do to good and then after the whole Young Buck thing I think a lot of people didn't like that...The only way I see 50 selling millions again is if he gets back with Buck are Game I think people would like to see that.
Guessjeans> Come on BLACK peoples we got to stop supporting these rappers who do nothing but EXPLOIT our community at the expense of OUR MONEY. Aren't we TIRED of giving these coons our HARD-EARNED cash while they call the sistas hoes, the brothers n*iggas, and degrade our very consciousness by making it appear that all black folks do is worship that paper and material possessions. Screw 50, Jay and the rest of them. Hope they never sell another album again.
B>ytch do you realize surburban white kids buy more rap cds than anybody? Get your head out of your ass simple hoe!!!!!!
It's not sad to see him fall off at all! Everybody's hip hop reign comes to an end and so now his turn has come. He is responsible for turning the people off by his TACKY behavior. Look! This fool survived being shot 9 times,succeed financially against all odds,became THEE MOST FAMOUS RAPPER OF OUR TIME and went further by creating brands that will live on for generations! AND HE STILL CARRIES HIMSELF LIKE A COMMON THUG AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO TEACH BLACK MALES THAT STILL LOOK UP TO HIM TO BE MEN OF CHARACTER and for that he is disappointing and it is time for him to disappear. 4u2.com
white kids buy the albums but black kids buy the clothes liquor jewelry cologne shoes phones cars these rappers promote and murder themselves and others to get it. rap is nothin more than a commericial . and the cultural norms its promoting r mostly negative. Immorality n self hate is rampant. all fifty do is beef and sell items him entertainin folks has taken the way backseat to the bull
@ Fire4u, oh yeah, u right, I remember that...But see, 50's mechanisms are all well planned out and he moves tactfully. The point I was tryna make tho, was, he's never went @ anyone [full force 50-style] who has had that #1 album out. Ja Rule don't count cuz he was an easy target. Lol But as many ppl say "wake up!!" to that illuminati stuff; if they haven't peeped 50's game in these last few years, then they are the ones who have TRULY been snoozing...
Dis some funny ish...BUT I LOVE 50CENT AND IF THIS IS TRUE MTO CUZ Y'ALL KNOW Y'ALL BE LIEIN SOMETIMES..so if he fail ok watever but 50 still is paid he probly don't even wanna rap no more he just do it just 2 do it think...but he is paid so wat..lol...now he can make more videos about Rick Ross..haha..TRILLA..
FOLLOW ME @eryca_cain
Damn homey, in H.S. you was the man, homey , wtf happened to you?
Naw I love 50, I heard the album and was like he's got to step it up a bit with the rhymes, with Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye & Jay-Z killing lyrics these days. I wish he'd stop telling us how good he is in bed and what he'd do to women, I can't even play some of the songs off his new album in front of the kids.
50 - please find something else to talk about - you still have fans out here looking for your new shiit
50 da truth and todays world do not wanna hear the truth in reality! they want some fake ass people yellin about they perfectly horrible lives. fifty tells the truth about people and I do not think he is apart of this evil stuff in the music era... He will have these problems until he signs the contract and stop selln the truth!
I am not fond of alotof things about hm but he exposes evil for real and it is the devils plan to eliminate anyone who tells truth and has a plan .... this man helps all of his artist and even other artist.
HAHAHA!!!! THATS WHAT THAT BUCK-TOOTH [EXPLETIVE] GET!!I NEVER LIKED HIS ASS SINCE HE FIRST CAME OUT CUZ ALL HE DO IS TALK ABOUT PPL TO GET HIS SALES UP... ITS LIKE HE HAS NUTHIN BETTER TO COME UP WITH BESIDES PICKIN ON PPL....BOTTOM LINE I THINK HES ST8 BYTCH AND I DONT CARE WHAT PPL SAY, THATS JUST WHAT I THINK...
Sorry this man points out so many truths in this hip hop game! He tells all & just stand there no one can say anything back! Ok he didnt sale as many records but he also has not sold his soul apparently!!!! it is sooo funny to me that 5o clowns and dogs a man that ripped the keys out of his BM hand while at a dr appt. wit her son he leaves her and her son for broke and goes on every song brags about his money and lifestyle. Then when 50 helps her and clowns this nicca eryone is hatn him... This world is backwords....
lol @ People talking about "50 dont't care" BULLSHYT!! all that dude does is talk about album sales! He talked about Fat Joes, Ja Rules, and even Triple C's. Now that his wack ass is getting outsold by Justin Bieber, album sales don't count? ANd don't even talk about its because it leaked, Jay's, Rihanna, Wayne all of them had leaks and did and will do respectable numbers. Maybe his wack ass shouldve been workin on a Banks album instead of worrying about the business dealings of others! Hell Hot Rod, Spida Loc, all the unknown G-unit artist that have yet to put out a debut LP
*SIGH* Fiddy, I told ur azz...I don't like to see this, cuz dude is talented. No, eery day we see he got jokes...I stopped commenting. He has a mind for business. Promoting himself, no. Where is G Unit? Are they on the cd? Next single, come out blazing, ignore foolishness, PLEASE! U can change those numbers, sweetie.
Ay yall gotta look at it from a biz standpoint, they say money dnt change u it enhances who u are, so clearly knowing who 50 is, HE DON'T give a phuck about not seeling jus as long as Ross aint sell a trillion the first week and then u kno what fifty does... Writes his album off!!! That's less tax to pay and more monet where that came from, for fifty his battles stretch past the notebook. He will screw ur career and flop in the meanwhile and is still making more money than you, I mean he can b a dick smetimes but he 50 let it go
LMFAO I listen to the album it was his worst yet. It was boring uninspired and just plain not entertaining. I gave it a 5 out of 10, only because he had 3 or 4 entertaining tracks. other than that it would have been better as a mixtape. He is such a loser, just go back to selling drugs and take banks and yayo with you. I wont miss you and neither will hip hop. you cant blame it on dre, interscope, or kanye now. the world dont like you, and your buzz is gone. okayyy your right, okayyyy your right you flopped. loooool
@northeast jay-z did over 400000 first week so what are saying. if music is hot its hot. for artist that are below the radar its okay, but 50 is supposed to be a heavy hitter so regardless his numbers should always be decent. we'll see what kanye west puts up, or lupe fiasco, or fabolous, or lil wayne, or nas, or eminem, or ludacris or timbaland, or justin timberlake, britney spears, or lady gaga, or beyonce, or ne-yo. then well see if its the economy or the music.
YOU DUMB ASSES,ITS FUNNY TO READ COMMENTS ON THE GREAT 50 cent.you know what i find funny and disturbing @ the same time is that this man that your criticizing can change your life thats if u are really part of the culture of hip hop.As u [EXPLETIVE] can see hip hop is the only outlet of mass job creation for [EXPLETIVE] and bitches who other wise would be goin other unfortunate route like beggin the white man to keep or have a job to feed your family off of the scrapes he throws your dumb ass.start supporting these artist whose trying to put there people in positions to create more jobs more stabilit
ALL WE HAVE IS US FOR YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE WORLDWIND OF GOSSIP,UNTRUTHS,AND SPIN REALLY NEED TO HAVE A SELF EXAMINATION ON YOUR PRIORITIES DO YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AS A PEOPLE OR INDIVIDUAL.BEFORE U ANSWER THAT READ THESE TWO BOOKS BLACK ROBES WHITE JUSTICE WRITTEN BY N.Y.SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRUCE WRIGHT AND CHANCELLOR WILLIAMS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK CIVILIZATION FROM 642 B.C. TO 1622 A.D. AND SEE IF IT WONT CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION ON WHATS REALLY HOOD.
first of all [EXPLETIVE] anybody that dnt like 50..if it wasnt for him u would be still hearing these corny ass rappers for ex: ja rule, camron, fat joe, and rick ross...plus tha week isnt over yet.. 50 anit corny at least he dont talk bout sum fake [EXPLETIVE]..hes tha only true gansta in ny.. [EXPLETIVE] rick ross lies, lil wanye a fake blood, camron cant rap, fat joe 1 hit wonder, and ja rule a wanna thug..[EXPLETIVE] dnt understand that 50 cent is tha 2nd richest in tha rap game..so all u lil [EXPLETIVE] talkin [EXPLETIVE]..50 dnt need tha rap game to be rich..he already did that..i dare 1 of u lil [EXPLETIVE] to respond
I'm not surprised. Maybe he should've focused on his music a little harder instead of beefing and picking little squabbles with just about everyone in the entertainment industry! But don't worry, I'm sure that the wanna be black white folks will buy his album. Thinkin' that 50 is the most coolest and gangsterish rapper out! LMAO
THESE MTO POSTS ARE BECOMING LAME TO DEATH, DUDE ALBUM HAS ONLY BEEN OUT 2 DAYS AND BESIDES THAT, ALBUMS ARE NOT DOING 500,000+ SALES IN THE FIRST WEEK ANYMORE(WELL BLACK MUSIC ANYWAY), I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I ACTUALLY PURCHASED A ALBUM, IT WAS CATCH THE DUDE IN THE BARBERSHOP, NOW ITS MAKE MY OWN AT THE HOUSE.

Ja Rule was/is a FAR better rapper than 50 Cent LYRICALLY and SKILLS wise, and had far better hits....and now that FAKE @SS 50's KARMA has come back to bite him, it's safe to say that this f@ggot....AGAIN....can kiss his forgetable career goodbye. He's NOT real! He's NOT tough! He beefs with only black artists, and is a closet UNCLE TOM!!! Shoot, Ja Rule was actually PROUD of his black roots and didn't set out to bring down other cats in the biz. I guess now, it's safe to say that Ja Rule really DID win the battle as Ja's laughing his @ss off at 50's FLOPS. Two words: MONKEY FLOP!!!!! HA HA HA
MTO...those numbers are not accurate. Plus, his records sales do not come from the US only. The US is not the only place that buys Hip hop music. His album has been release in the US and overseas. I wish the arrogance with the US go away because the US is not the only place that buy CDs. MTO stop with the hate. The CD will sale due to the movie inside. A lot of people are buying the CD just for the Jam master Jay tribute movie.
Rick Ross would KILL 50's weak, fake f@ggot New York @ss anyway...I'm glad that SUPERIOR rappers like Rick and Kanye are silencing this dumb motha-f*cker too....him and his FAKE, DUMB fans, including the b*tches on Mediatakeout posting pity posts on his FAILED @ss!!! lol 50's CAREER IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The origin of Rap music started with beef and controversy. Rap music was about tell a story about what is going on in the neighborhood. If you go overseas, most of the fans of hip hop are stuck in the 80s and 90s of hip hop. They don't even like the hip hop today. They are selective in what they listen too. Go over seas, you will only her old hip hop and the recent music will only be from 50, Jayz, Nas, Wu-tang, etc. No dirty south music exist in places like the UK and Japan. This is why the dirty south artist give shows around the country,they can't sale out venues overseas...only in the US
I found a great club for you________B l a c k W h i t e F i n d e r . C o m________. The best dating club for seeking the interracial singles, sexy beauties and even hot interracial celebs... I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy .You should check it out!!! GGGGGGG
this is not surprising , RAP IS A DYING INDUSTRY, ITS A FAILED FAKE GENRE. whats happeing to rap is what happen to Heavy Metal ... so good riddens to this crap .. these uneducated blacks let the record exec take advantage of their talents by putting out all this crap.. Rap turn into the black xxploitation of music.
this was said.. but worth repeating
Come on BLACK peoples we got to stop supporting these rappers who do nothing but EXPLOIT our community at the expense of OUR MONEY. Aren't we TIRED of giving these coons our HARD-EARNED cash while they call the sistas hoes, the brothers n*iggas, and degrade our very consciousness by making it appear that all black folks do is worship that paper and material possessions. Screw 50, Jay and the rest of them. Hope they never sell another album again.
You came in the game on Em & Dre backs then try to act like you really didn't need them- lmbao!! Instead of hatin on Jay you need to follow in his footsteps an learn how to maximize both business & hip hop to your advantage...Oh yeah, Jay lost to Nas in a battle but a year later Nas was workin for him- sleep on that you buck tooth nucca...
If 150,000 is a lot then dayuuum I guess over a millie is a hella lot huh?! Thats what Jay did! I think if he didnt care about record sells he wouldnt be promoting & starting beef EVERYTIME he's got a new album about to drop--c'mon people, unless Jay revives him-- ITS A WRAP!!
"...MIKE JORDAN OF RAP, NI**AS CANT STICK ME, NOW WATCH HOW QUICKLY I DROP 50..."
I LIKE IPHONE more than wil.The technology are developping fastly. we must
thank the military who work hard to protect the securiry of the country. We know the
military's life is very boring. and now some of my military friend find a military
club named ***Black White Mingle.c o m. C O M****, there are thousands of militaries
and their admirers, WISH every military would have a good time everyday.
He worked so hard trying to ruin the career of others.Always talking about number/record sells. Now his record and empire isn't doing so well. On lastnight's interview, it shows that he has really fell off. His networth went from $130 million to $20 million and apparently in a steady decline rate. He is like a fish out of water trying to make it in the industry. Maybe this will humble him. I guess the saying is true what goes around comes around.
