[Update] 50 Cent Outsells Kanye In Europe

Thursday, September 27, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


50 CentIt seems Kanye West and 50 Cent are still feuding over first-week sales – “Curtis” has outsold “Graduation” on the European charts, despite Kanye initially winning in US and UK markets.

50 Cent’s “Curtis” debuted at No. 1 this week on the European Top 100 charts – which includes sales from Italy, Germany, and France – while Kanye’s “Graduation” peaked at No. 3.

Meanwhile, Spanish singer Manu Chao’s “La Radiolina” took second place.

No word yet on sales figures.

To recap: three weeks ago “Graduation” outsold “Curtis” in the UK; two weeks ago Kanye won again in the US; and this past week 50 Cent triumphed on the European charts.

Thats cuz kanye talks bout real sh*t europeans wouldn't understand.

I'm european, thanks for that unnecessary remark ^^. And oh, i did cop kanye's graduation, common's finding forever, lupe's food & liquor, etc. I do feel ya that it is pathetic that people even buy sh*t like 50's, but that has nothing to do with being european or american citizen, but just people liking popbeats over kanye's topnotch samples. There'll always be retards. I hate 50 with a passion, so stop make these b.s. Comments. Chamillionaire's ultimate victory > curtiss & the mascara.

I really dont like promoting this kanye, 50 debate, but headline is like "winning a beauty contest in the country of blind people". A very large percentage of people in eastern and western europe (outside the uk and ireland) dont understand the lyrics of songs, they lyp-sync to it. They pay for the brand, not the content.

Let me clarify my previous statements, it has been my experience with europeans that they do not fully grasp the social, economic, and racial dynamics of this country that kanye often touches on in his music, which i think makes it harder for most europeans (especially those that never been to the u.s.) to appreciate kanye's music.

2008 exclusive jay street williams explains his.........husamiddi williams log-on now at husamiddi williams street open up to us........

I can apreciate people sayin that people in europe dont understand the us but come on what does kanye rap about? ummmm subject 1)how amazing kanye west is, subject 2) how great kanye west is, subject 3) how kanye west has a big head, etc. So to be honest if people in europe couldnt understand it would probably be 50's that they couldnt understand cause he raps about stuff other than himself. Kanye is amazing and makes great beats just this album only has 1 subject and that is himself!

To uknomisteez still no need to make generalization about us europeans. Some may prefer the half dollar over west, though i too fail to see why would they even bother with 50 (unless we talk about "power of the dollar" which was actually pretty good, atleast compared to 50's music now). But as you heard from alex above and from me now not all not everyone does so. Besides people like different things. If you met a guy(or a girl) who told you that he/she is a huge fan of rakim, or nas, or krs-one and then you heard that he/she also digs 50 or lil scrappy or some other garbage could you say that they don't know sh*t about hip hop or something like that?
Posted by Elmorado
Elmorado, why cant some1 like nas, rakim etc and 50? yea admitedly they very different, but i can say that i like stuff thats better hip hop such as talib kweli, moss def etc, but i also like 50. He may not be close to these other guys lyricaly or in any way but just cause it aint got tallent doesnt make it sh*t its still catchy and still has some pretty hot beats. Yes power of the dollar is far better than his modern stuff but he is now aiming at a different audience.
Posted by nick
Nick i never said that people couldn't like nas, rakim, krs-one or other mc's and fifty, did i? didn't you read the question i asked from uknomisteez? i merely asked if he truly could claim that someone doesn't know sh*t about hip hop just because one of the rap artists he/she listens to happens to be 50 cent
Posted by Elmorado
People, 50 cent is the best rapper right now, not saying that kanye west aint good, kanye west is a real good rapper 2. I think we should appreciate both rappers for making good music to entertain us. You guys who are talking about 50. Get lost.
Posted by David
50 cent is god awful, and kanye west is pretty decent, he definitely spits better rap in general, but to imply that kanye west is spitting about real sh*t is a lie in itself. Kanye west spits about the same generic topics as every other mainstream rapper (at least on this album). He talks about himself,clothes, fame, and money like it's going out of style. So don't treat him like the messiah of positive, deep, intelligent, hip-hop, because it's not true at all.

Complexity..i agree wit u 100 percent..i prefer 50 tho cause i can relate 2 50 more than kanye..kanye seemz too female like n' haz a female like swag..how can any1 look at him like a savior?i kno a lot of u fanz look at kanye 2 help save "hip-hop"but truth iz...he'z not hip-hop!u ppl jus are lookin 4 any rapper 2 be considered hip-hop..y'all forgot wat it iz so u look at kanye az hip-hop and sh*t..kanye don't go hard either..so him spittin realer than 50 iz F*ck*n unlikely..and hatin 50 ain't gonna stop hiz record salez anywhere.plus it'z y'all fault..everybody let him not thru tha door.but smash that F*ck*n door down..now he in this Bia'ch 4 life..deal wit it,y'all made get rich or die tryin' wat it iz n' now u hate him..deal wit it..and if anything,europeanz follow rap jus az much az us..n' live harder than us americanz..i can walk down tha street witout havin an army or some sh*t shoot at me..so don't dogg on europe cause 50(ur old favorite rapper)iz outsellin everybody there..

F*ck this europeans, i dont think they even understand hip hop. This Bia'ches just buy albums for the sake, what can a frenchman understand by the words, n*ggas, Bia'ches, whores, mu'fukah, they think its a greeting or something....

Posted by Northern Europe
Lmao on how n*ggas say sh*t with out thinking sometimes......and europe does have its fair share of, racism,etc etc! and just like that u prove another white supremist right making making such a judgement. Just like if they says blk ppl are ignorant, u passing judgement the same way! i like them both but kanye whines 2 much sometimes, "not winning the video of the year at mtv europe and then Bia'chin about the stage he performed on" but there's no taking away his talent and i been a 50 fan wayyyyy before all the money but i'm happy he made it, but yes some of his material isnt as good as the past stuff! good for both of them

50 aint retiring that was jus to increase record sales. Kanye won, who care about europe and italy, and that 50 getting shot 9 times is old. This is about who sold the most not who got shot dumb asses. 50 is alive so thats good but im a fan of t.i and wayne but kanye won so lets move on with it...
Posted by ALICIA
F*ck the record sales. This 50 cent n*gga is bad for hiphop. I epected kanye to be the bigger man and not enetertain 50's latest publicity stunt. Shame on a n*gga who try to run game on a n*gga
Posted by marty mart
Who the F*ck cares what he sold worldwide!!! hip hop started in america so if you cant win here in sales than yiu F*cked regardless. And 2, when has sales made you a good rapper? lupe went gold, common may go gold, saigon is nice, chamillionaire only sold 79k his first week, talib kawli hasnt went gold yet. What im sayin is if you making that real lyical sh*t, most likely people will turn a deaf ear. 50 sells worldwide because he make that pop artist sh*t, he's nolonger hip hop. I mean, one of 50's singles was with a ex n sync memeber, what the F*ck? 50 make that white girl slumber party music
