Kanye Tops Charts, Moves 957K In First Week

50 probably bombed the g-unit offices over this sh*t f*ckin faggot

I knew you could di it 'ye. Congradulations on graduation! fizzrst

Now everbody gone be droppin they records on the same day

957,000 copies in 2007!?! if this was '97 (with no internet downloading), that would've been like 3x times platinum in one week.

Creativity beats negativity. This is big for hip hop. Hopefully this will open the door for more original artist, those who want to stand out for being themselves and less wanna be gangsta pimp ballas. Thanks ye.

True that wow and dlogan!!!!!!!!! some times i wish it was no internet but i would not know you guys you guys are my friends!!!! i love you guys!

Everybody is missing the last line. The real winner is universal music group the worlds largest record company who both rappers are signed to (regardless of subsidiary labels and cliques) who own it all. And with most rappers and subsidiaries wanting to own the majority of their master's or publishing (which many of them still don't), universal looks to earn their money back through initial record and itunes sales. So in the end both fif and ye' are very good at making other people wealthy and themselves rich. Fif doing it by making mediocre 'gangsta' fantasy rhymes about sex, drugs, and money. Just like our people while we argue over apples and oranges, a white man owns the whole damn tree. Lol

J. Dot spittin that knowledge

J. Dot, we have an organization in miami that tries to help artists own their own music but getting them to understand this seems like it's impossible because so many of them beleive in the dream being sold and bullsh*t is hard to compete with when it comes with a 3 billion dollar budget. We do take donations in the form of buying product if anyone wants to help out. Or if you have a a few billion dollars your not using send it our way. Lol

Honestly ima bigger kanye fan but i dont know what the big deal is...so what he beat him first week sales but thats it we know god damn well that means nothing 50 could still come back and win the war and outsale him total. Not to mention lets not forget since were talking about numbers, that 50 still has millions more of records sold. However, i'm proud of ye his album is better.

Both albums are garbage....this competition made 50's sales stay the same as they would be and boosted yay's sales cuz of 50 haters

Kanye only out sold 50 cause def jam waz buyin hiz copiez along wit ye' fanz n' 50 haterz..end of story..it'z like a movie,y'all cheer 4 tha fairy good guy az he'z only victorious ova tha bad guy 1 time..i ain't heard ye' when 50 went back 2 back diamond status..congratz kanye,for tha 1st n' last time u sold more recordz than anybody..c'mon y'all,this sh*t'z embarassin..did u hear hiz track"stronger"u mean 2 tell me that waz some real hip hop sh*t..gimme a F*ck*n break lotz of u people forgot wat hip hop iz..

Graduation outselling curtis is the worst thing to ever happen to hip hop. F*ck i don't believe those # cos even jay z album don't sell up to that # that soundscan put out to decieved the public..so what sound f*cking scan is trying to makes us believe is that kanye west make better music than jay z, f*ck i'm not buying into that bullsh*t..honestly let's face it i do strongly believe that all this set up is been done to make 50 cent feel bad or quit the rap game but f*ck that n*gga 50 cent aint gonna quit

Haha!!! 50 stans prolly slittin they wrist right about now.

Yea i like j dots point he got knowledge

Yea it ain kno way ye will ever out sell fif fairly only ah clown would believe that. By da way fif fan base is still huge, and ye dont have more followerz than jay or fif, do any azz holes think now dayz

Im in a different country and i bought a copy worth the purchase

The albums ain't even all that... Kanye first album was the best...and back then it didnt even sell as much as now...wtf?

Sweet! no more solo projects from 50!

Yo i spent $13 just so 50cent wud retire..best $13 i ever spent

I wish curtis would live to his word and retire to save us from hearing his b.s allday everyday..them publicity stunts arent working out for him anymore.that sh!t he pulled with jenny jones, j-hood and remy ma didnt ring a buzz that he expected but anywayz he tried. Big ups to ye for repping without taking his clothes off!

Two albums sold mre than half of the other industry elite! thats big for not only hip hop but future artist who study the industry and write with creativity! maybe now we'll get sum real music with substance!

Real music vs senseless entertainment....i guess real music wins!!!....btw gmillysouljah is a fagot ass

Graduation album is hip-hop music, curtis is rap music, sometimes we mix it together, i like both albums but honestly, there is a huge difference in style. As for j.dot comment, he right but hey, a microsoft programmer works for bill gates, its normal every artist works for a record company, unless u can form your own enterprise then can you have others working for you and then u get more profit, end of the day everyone gets paid

Def jam bought half of his records and look at all of 50 haters not buying 50. I mean come on look at the odds. 50 do ya thing u are a music genius drop another 1 before the year.

Big up 2 kanye, tha album iz ill

Man "stronger" sucks and so does ayo tech, nevertheless i respect 50 as a rapper more than i do 2 kanye even tho i want kanye 2 win this battle, 50 has the capability 2 own hip hop but he continuosly spoils his chances, and also everyone is forgettin that both these n*ggaz r signed 2 unirvesal so at the end universal is makin all the cheddar, also 2 mention that it took 50 4 singles 2 top the charts but it only took 1 single, kanye has won this battle already because 50's haters r in effect now eversince he realesed game and eversince he switched his style 2 the flashy and Bia'chy character, 50 will never even go 2x platinum ever mark my words,until 50 returns raw and has more collabo with dre F*ck 50 and for now go kanye!

Damn son u make no sense at alll.

50 cent didn't sell as much as his other albums in the first week because there was no beef with other rappers to ride on. I guess this is good for music in general, would make rappers concentrate more on the music rather than the gimmicks. Overall, hip hop might wake up from the dead.

Hey yo "j.dot" your reasoning compared to them groupies is unparallelled. Props... 1st person on nbs to say something that makes sense to me

Ight my n*gga j dot spittin tha truth but yall n*gga kno dis is all a publcity stunt. Thats y they made it 50 vs kanye so all of them can get rich. There on the same label so nobody freakin loses when u gots 957g in ya ppocket

To be honest the only people who gained anything were universal as stated earlier because hip hop certainly didnt win much because 50cent was crap and kanye west does not have much skill on the mic as his lyrics are a bit corny but he does have great producing skills and neither albums are classics.

To bad 50 won worldwide... But who cares right? as long as kanye won the us sales lol and why does it even matter they both made way to much money making sub par music

The whole competition between 50 and kanye was a stunt created by universal to increase the sales of both albums. With that said, who cares if kanye sold more. Between kanye and 50 they know who the big dog is. Kanye is a producer and 50 is an animal from the streets.

Whaaaa wuzzzzzzzzap?! everybody waiting on bg to drop his new album.. One!

Now if only 50 would actually live up to his word and retire from making solo music! as far as i'm concerned, 50 has always been the britney spears of rap: he's not really that talented, but he takes off his clothes, dances around, puts on a performance, and all the little girls (and Bia'ch-made dudes) luv him. Like britney, he started to realize that he's no longer relevant so he started actin' out -- instead of shaving his head and gettin' caught out there with a short skirt and no panties, he started wildin' out, making sh*tty movies, picking fights with his own crew, signing the most hypocritical "thug" out there (mase), disrespecting the likes of nas, and generally acting like a little Bia'ch. Dude's no longer relevant -- he oughta fall back.

Yo on some real sh*t neither of them should be dissapointed with the outcome, they should make a song together and make more money, neither album flopped they are both 2x platinum worldwide already so why all the hate? they need to just make their money and say F*ck the haters, no one ever wants to see a n*gga do good god damn well i say congrats to both 50 and ye on succesful first weeks its a good day for hip-hop this sh*t aint dead

Like beanz said just come all the way out the closet homeboy

Good...kanye smokes 50-Bia'ch in every way possible.

Why do 50 albums even sell? dat dude have at least 20 songs on each album, but only 2 or 3 be tight. 50 take yo weak music to another country Bia'ch!!

Get up on that weezy f.

Yo i like both of them butthe fact is you guys also forgot that while he is winnin in the usa 50 is killin him in all around worldwide charts with 2.2 million to kanyes 1. Sumthin

Men, you all are tripping, i love both kanye and 50 but in d real. 50 gat more vibes and rythems that ye.... Even though kanye seem to outsale 50cent that doesn't make kanye the best rapper. They are both good in their own way. But the best rapper now, that we all agree about is wizzy baby. My homeboy. H-town representing

Somethime im tired wit this word specially them peoples in the words.they're 2 danm.i love 50 cent he make good music but i think he talk 2 much bullsh*t, don't judge kanye coz kanye never said he gon beat 50 but its controversy for 50 cent.he doesn't matter 50 got beef def jam buy half of west album dats why kanye win the battle.all ya should win is win.lost is lost we should pride wit kanye saving hip hop coz bcoz of kanye i finallly discover hip hop was dead.now can u show a real mc,rick ross,50 cent,trick daddy.soulja boy,come one maybe lil wayne but kanye wit his lyrics his beat his style the way he talk u can tell he's graduate from all of them fake mcs all musics they did is always about 1 thing (money biches talk about sell drugs kill people )but there never did sh*t who's the victim all of us our children our color our families our country imean the world.i am proud of kanye coz he teach us how to get dress how to let everybody love u that why he dont have beef;he's the champion everything he's not make him everything he is so u can't tell him nothig even his big brother(jay z)
