Kanye Hits #1 On UK Chart; 50 Cancels European Tour

    By Mike Winslow

    Rapper 50 Cent has postponed a tour of Europe, just days after Kanye West's album Graduation stormed to the top of the U.K. album charts, putting 50 Cent's album Curtis in second place.

     

    According to 50 Cent's label representatives, a last minute change in his schedule resulted in the postponement of his European trek, which was supposed to run September 18- 25.

     

    50 Cent nixed a highly anticipated performance at the MOBO's this Wednesday (September 19) as well as an appearance at the Vodafone Live Music Awards, which take place this week in Germany.

     

    The cancellation comes as West's album Graduation opened the week at #1 on the UK Album's Chart yesterday (September 17), while 50 Cent's album Curtis landed at #2.

     

    West's album Graduation is also expected to top the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart in the United States tomorrow.

     

    The album outsold 50 Cent's Curtis by over 170,000 copies according to recent sales data.

    50 is a looser! He is crying cause a much better MC out sold him. I knew 50 time was coming to an end. Plus Curtis is just a garbage album. Sorry fifty snitch but you lost this time. I hope he learns his lesson. Dont challege real MC's. 50 bricked, Banks bricked, mobb bricked, buck and Tony YOYO bricked. And yes i ment to say Tony YOYO! I liked this dude when get rich or Die trying came out but he turned his back on his fans in my opinion so now he's paying for it. I live in New York and this clown doesnt run nothing but his mouth trust me.

    D-block all day!

    Im glad to see Kanye win cause he didnt care about all that beef shit and that negative media attention.  Hip Hop just needs good artist to come out with great albums without all the extra negative stuff cause that takes away from the music and then people only pay attention to that.  

    50 would of been just fine if he would of released his album without all that negative media stuff and 50 and Kanye could of done a tour together to pump both of their sales.  NOW THATS A SMART BUSINESS MOVE

    Now I'm happy that Kanye came out on top of this, but lets be honest. 2nd place on national charts is not a brick. 50 still did big numbers (for today's climate anyway) he just didn't do numbers bigger than Mr. West.

    Streetweyez Sayles said:

    I am not surprised. I just wish 50 would be as serious about the music again as he is about record sales. He is a big enough name to where if his music is top notch the shit will sale. I don't think he's a bad dude though. His record label will go the way he goes and that is the problem.

    Nobody else at G-Unit records can actually move any units. That is why they have been doing "talent searches" on the Internet for new rap artists. Most of them will never see the light of day, and if they have any talent as producers or writers they will 1) Ghost write for the weak talent he has and 2) Ghost produce for the weak talent he has.  50 needs to get back to basics, I know it's hard to get back to basics after you reach a certain level but he has to try or give it up and move on to something else, nothing wrong with that either.

    50 payin a price for being a real nigga. he says what he wants and pepople hate him for it. 99% of the time rappers try to be politically correct. in interviews they try not to say anything that will offend anybody or any region for fear that they might lose sales. 50 don't give a fuck, he will diss nas in an interview knowin he will get a backlash but he don't give a fuck dats how he feels and he doesn't care if some nas fans dat would've bought his record won't now because he dissed their favorite rapper. hate it or love it.

    black maybe, your probably the type of person i'm talkin bout. just cause someone gives you their opinion it doesn't mean disrespect. if you had a cd and i said it was trash, i might think it really is trash, but because i said it was trash instead of sayin it's ok you just need work on your content a lil. you would consider it being disrespect, because i  didn't give you a politically correct answer like sayin you just need to work on your content. and people hate 50 for this, just for being brutally honest. corny?  nothin is more cornier than a grown ass man puttin teddy bears on his album covers, it's borderline gay.

    Im glad Kanye is doing so well. He actually is spittin from the heart. True feelings, there is to much bulllsh&t in the music nowadays. When I was 9yrs I got my 1st Public Enemy album. We need more balance in the music. KILLING EACH OTHER IS WACK. Im tired of hearing brothers talkn about "I will blow out your brains then sell your mother crack" Those type of lyric's are garbage. A hot 16 nowadays means how many times can I talk about killing somebody. Bun That straight.

    I got Kanye's album over the weekend and there was only one copy left. Meanwhile, they had plenty of Curtis albums available. I listened to Kanye's album and it's straight fiyah. Especially the first joint, "Good Mornin". 50 is actin like a little broad by canceling his tour. He got beat fair and square. I mean he's got all of that Vitamin Water money, so what's the big deal? But I guess money can't heal a broken ego.

    Why are people so concerned with how much you sell anyway? It's that whole mindset that done fucked up hip hop. Instead of trying to put out good music people are only putting out commercial garbage so that they can move units. Cuz if we wanna just talk about sales then that would meant hat Nelly is the greatest fuckin rapper of all time. In a perfect world, sales would be based on talent.
    And all you 50 apologist on here trip me the fuck out. 50 himself ran his mouth saying Kanye wouldn't outsell him. Ya'll can say whatever ya'll want to but the fact remains that Ye did just that. Yeah he moved alot of units and thats what's up, but he came in 2nd to Kanye. And this is not me "hating" on 50, but just like King of Texas I'm just stating my opinion hate it or love it.

    Think about it folks.....JUNE 2007 was to be a release date for CURTIS....He fucked up by moving it....Im a 50 Cent fan but 50 Cent Fucked up royally on this release date....especially when it is HIPHOPs biggest artists....This makes 50 cent look like the rest of the camp in sales.....FLOP....even though im sure he went GOLD this first week when the numbers come out WEDNESDAY from SOUNDSCAN....

    ************************

    @ Payboy,

    "50 would of been just fine if he would of released his album without all that negative media stuff and 50 and Kanye could of done a tour together to pump both of their sales.  NOW THATS A SMART BUSINESS MOVE"

    you must be involved with marketing and business studies in school....because if these guys toured together.....HOLY SHIT....This would create one of the worlds best tours EVER....G-Unit and Roc-a-fella.....DAMN

    *************************

    @ Boss Up,

    Thats definately coming....but on the other hand im sure he wont even bother to do that....he willl look stupid for dissing someone who outsold him...

    *********************

    @ HaZZard221,

    Both albums were leaked globally.....even though it was online KAnye still whooped 50 cent in sales so far....Wednesday we find out SOUNDSCA numbers....I honestly hope that 50 cent wins but i am pretty sure he aint...


    *******************************************

    One thing id like to know is you people call 50 cent a snitch.....where the fuck is the evidence? just bc in his raps lyrics he says street names that makes him a snitch....if thats the case then there are tons and tons of snitch ass rappers....

    And again, ain't nobody hating on 50 or "bringing a brotha down." Get outta here with that race bullshit. And CDG, you could argue that 50 tries to bring the black man down by starting all these stupid beefs and dissing all the "brothas" in the rap game.
    And I'm tired of the guy's gimmicks. Every time he gotta album dropping he tries to start some kinda beef with someone to promote it and boost sales. And I've been a fan of 50 since he was doin mixtapes. I'm talkin bout before he did "How to Rob" or was on Onyx's Shut Em Down CD so I know what the fuck I'm talkin bout. And let's be real: the man's whole CAREER is based on beef. If the guy would simply focus on music maybe people wouldn't be so critical of him.

    Slim turk you made the smartest post on here for real. People forget that 50 album got pushed back multiple times. I'm sure it was because the album had absolutely no buzz! Nobody cared that it was coming out. Hmmm, what would 50 do to create buzz? What he always does: find someone to beef with and hype up his album. It's just that this time he came in #2. But that may be a blessing in disguise because A) it may force him to step his game up and B) we all love an underdog. It took Jay roasting Nas ass for Nas to reinvent himself. I think people looked at Ye as an underdog in this case too which is why he outsold 50.

ONCE HE TURNED HIS BACK ON THE UNDERGROUND AND MOST HOODS HE LOST A STEP IN HIS MUSIC.

    KST2G, you're exactly what i'm talkin bout, you don't like 50 cause he says what he feels. what was he supposed to say "kanye is gonna sell more than me," or a TYPICAL politically correct answer like "i don't know we're gonna have to wait and see." he said what any real nigga would "i gonna sell more than kanye." kanye might win da first week but in the long run 50 will win. from da time this start i never doubted kanye's week sales ability, he sold 800,000 da first week on his last album, but only went 2 or 3 times plat. when you do first week numbers like dat you supposed to go at least 4 times plat. once people stop buyin kanye's cd cause they hate 50 which will probably happen next week, 50 will pull ahead and win overall cause he has more bangers. kanye has his gimmicks. he throws tantrums like a kid and he's aware that people notice(gimmick), he used his car wreck to push first album(gimmick), dissed the president on live worldwide tv before is album came out and he fully knew what he was doin (gimmick), choosin to go head up wit 50 on da same day another gimmick. 50's beef records mean nothin sometimes they're entertainin, but if dats all he had i wouldn't buy his album. i thinks it's cool he does diss records people forgot that it's been apart of hip hop and most of these rappers these days are too coward to make diss records too scared to say what they really feel and dats what hip hop is about sayin what da fuck you feel and fuck who don't like it.

    @kIng of texas
    is thinking real ignorant with the "REAL NIGGA" shit.  How is someone gonna come out and disrespect 75% of the industry and expect to retain fans and make people loyal to them.  There is no real nigga shit in that.  How you gonna limit your artist on saying who the fuck to work with.  Its just pure hate and that dude is promoting it.  People just tired of his shit right now.  pure beef to hate into trying to gain record sales.

    im sorry, but that new 50 is not creative at all. it sounds like a mixtape with a few songs for the females. that cat uses the same formula and now its a wake up call for curtis. kanye always comes more creative than 50. i think 50 just learned a lesson as far as putting out quality music. just when everyone was thinking that skills dont matter anymore, kanye comes out on top.

    Adidja Palmer, i see me usin the word nigga limits your thinkin so just substitute the word "man" instead of nigga and it still gets my point across, meanin of course he thinks he is betta. why would he think anything else? i think it's great he had the guts to diss 75% of the industry and put up the numbers he has. he didn't do it by tryin to make friends, he did it his way.

    Yo @King of Texas you need to quit talkin about how "REAL" 50 cent is Fiddy can't even sell without a controversy takin shots at Lil Wayne and Kanye (non battle rappers...) when DBlock, Jada, and even Game already clowned Fiddy's fake ass. Do some research start with "50 the faud is in" 50 has his money due to his mainstream marketbility, beef, and cheap claims to fame.

    Kanye's music is okay but you can't roll with that in your car I'm just glad that Fiddy is getting that wake up call it's only downhill from here on out.

    Check this out for what REAL is How can this guy spit how to rob an industry nigga, then turn around and be the industry nigga? It's a shame. Guys like Papoose, Fabolous, Cassidy, LOX, Jo Jo Pellegrino, Terminology, Talib Kweli, Common, and Mos Def are killing it and get overlooked because of idiots like 50. Y'all remember when Mobb Deep was nice? Look at em' now. They're nothing but workers. Same with M.O.P, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and all them other dudes.

    Oh yeah, this whole Fiddy VS Kanye thing wasn't anything but a publicity stunt to sell records anyways.

    But some of ya people need to call it like it is Fiddy might be the second richest rapper but he ain't nowhere near the greatest.

    50 is rich as fuck, not because he is talented, he is just marketable. Girls think hes hot, and he markets to teenage girls, making songs for kids to dance to at prom and college kids to dance to at clubs. If you judge 50 by his ability to make mainstream cRap music for dance clubs then he is king. If you judge his talent to rap and hold up against true hip hop artists, hes kindergarten. Nobody who knows hip hop, lives hip hop and appreciates it likes 50 cent. He is grade school dance music, hes not big time.

    I'm not hatin just being real opinions or not

    Fair is fair... 50 Cent ran his mouth and Kanye still outsold him in the first week.  But remember, Jigga had huge 1st week sales and yet the momentum couldn't continue and he just inched past double platinum with 'Kingdom Come'.

    If you read my other posts then you know that I'm feeling 50 more than Kanye.  The way I look at it, Jay Z caught some bricks too along the way but you have to look at his entire career and I think his 'Black Album' was one of his hottest even though some people were calling Jigga washed up right before he dropped that.  Maybe 50 Cent's next album will show us the hunger that we all loved on 'Power of the Dollar' and the mixed tape circuit... or maybe not, who knows?

    Regardless, think about it, does Kanye West really represent what hiphop is all about?  Sick producer...yes, I'll give him that.  Can turn a phrase or two... sometimes, but so can Lil Wayne and about 100 other rappers.  I mean let's look at the so-called 'Kings' over the years... KRS-ONE, Rakim, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Big, Pac, Pun,  Jigga, Nas (yes there are many more and even some of the ones I picked will probably be debated) and then in the same breath...Kanye?  Does that seem right to you?

    I think 50 Cent IS hiphop but he has lost his way a bit chasing that dollar.  I think Kanye West can be entertaining at times but more in a Gnarles Barkley / Andre 3000 kind of way... I know it all falls under the same umbrella but Louis Vutton and temper tantrums at award shows?  I don't know, man.  

    Just my opinion.

    Eh, whatever. I didn't think Ye would "beat" 50 and I side with Ye on creativity and lyrics and such (no homo) but Ye did it yet, at the same time, I'm like whatever. I enjoy Ye's album the most and I've had 50's since day one of the leak and STILL find it weak, overall.
    Now, that's, again, whatever. What I'm disappointed in is 50's behavior. While I don't really feel his lyrics and he can come with a nice beat every once and a while, he is actin' like a little girl since getting trumped from day one by Ye and he's supposed to be so "street and gangsta." I know he's human and
    I thought I saw a method in his madness but now I see a really desparate rapper who really put a lot of his emotion into this and doesn't know how to take defeat.
    Bottom line - I would expect such girlish behavior from Ye, not 50

    @ KST2G,

    Thx bro i really appreciate it...I just get tired of people saying some wierd shit sometimes...you are right though im sure no one cared for a new album anyways from 50 cent....I knew that there was going to be problems when i first fopund out that these guys were releasing on the same date....of course now that Kanye West won this round.....Kanye West has to watch out what he actualy does....b/c i dont know 50 cent but by his lyrics he is sneaky.....Im sure that this will lead to some street violence....we seen tupac and biggie die.....maybe a repeat....basically if oyu think about it....nerdy guy punking off a street gangsta...I sure hope that this is a blessing and help to kick start 50's next and last album from interscope before he goes to warner...

    ******************************

    To be honest everyone....Even though Im a 50 cent fan...I don't think i will buy his next album....I listen to this album many times and it is nothing like his last albums...However, listening to 50 cent Curtis album has opened up my ears to a new 50 cent....he wants to touch a field that he is yet to adventure upon....im sure he wanted to complete a whole album for the ladies....but then split it 50/50 for the streets...

    as for kanye west....well new news from myside here at my house....since i bought two copies and still not open the other since i been spnding most my time in my car with 50 cent newest album i returned it ....reason being....CANCELLING A FUCKIN TOUR....NEVER ever backstab a fan....

    anyways guys and girls im chatting too much i must stop....but this has triggerred my anger inside .... before i let you go....

    NOT ONLY DID I RETURN MY EXTRA COPY OF 50 CENT - CURTIS....I EXCHANGED IT FOR KANYE WEST ALBUM....I like 3-4 songs....but after listening to the album today i have started liking more songs....

    The albums are completely different so they cant really have a competition with each other....these are honestly 2 different genre' of music to me....basically both win as a few of you said...

    KST2G said:

    You can call 50 the realest nigga of all time if you want to but he still came in 2nd to Kanye. Funny thing is everytime 50 fail to live up to his own hype he always got an excuse. His first 3 singles was wack and sounded just alike but he said if anyone else would've did those songs they would've been hot. Man weak music is weak music, period. His "real nigga answer" as you would call it came up short and now he's blaming Interscope for not marketing the album. We not even talkin about the long run. Maybe he will outsell Kanye by the end of the month. And the figures not even out yet: maybe he outsold him the first week. If he did, lets see how fast he switch up from making excuses to saying "told you so." And I never said that I dont like what 50 ever says so don't put words in my mouth. I think the guy is amusing and he cracks me up but his overconfidence makes him say dumb shit sometimes. But since he so "real" as you like pointing out, let's see him stick to his word and not drop another CD ever again if Kanye outsold his ass. And ain't nothing wrong with diss records. However, if that's all that your career is based on then something's wrong. Think about it, when someone says 50, the first thing that pops outta people mouth is either he always dissing someone or he's a smart businessman. It's NEVER that he's a nice rapper or has great lyrics and he knows this. At best, 50 is an above average rapper. Someone like Mos Def would eat that nigga for breakfast.

    @SniperK I think Jay shit didn't carry over because, frankly, Kingdom Come was kinda wack. And it hurt me sayin that cuz I been a Jay fan since I a lil kid.

    And all them temper tantrums that Kanye be throwing annoy the shit outta me for real. But because he makes good music and is actually creative in his lyrics I'll put up with it I guess. Kinda like puttin up wit T.O. I guess. (Go Cowboys!)

    And come on man, you can't win em all. Even Jordan missed a few game-winning shots man. If you gonna be in this business and you gonna be talkin shit like 50 do, you gotta be able to take the good with the bad.

    KST2G, only small minded people grasp the to the diss records first cause people always gravitate to the negative stuff first. to me 50 makes good songs and dats the ONLY reason i like him not cause of his diss records. his career isn't based on diss records, his albums ain't fulla diss records. er'body who said somethin negative about 50 all had somethin to say about his diss records. maybe ya'll just from friendly sensitive ass niggaz who like teddy bears and are afraid of a lil confrontation or overconfidence. 50 has said he pushed his album back on hot97 because he didn't like da reponse he was gettin from da first 2 singles. how many rappers you know will come out and say dat? mos def don't sell records he doesn't know if he wants to sing or rap er'body knows who he is people see him in da movies and he still don't sell records, people know all these backpack niggaz but they don't sell records neva have, neva will.

    I didn't say his entire album was full of diss songs. If you can sit here and say that 50 career ain't based on diss records then you must be one naive muthafucka or you in a state of deinal, ESPECIALLY when 50 himself has said "I got rich off this beef shit!" Gimmie a fuckin break. Funny thing is he's now doing exactly what he criticized Ja for doing, making chick songs, cuz those are the ones that sell albums. And I ain't know Kanye's teddy bear was that big of a deal. Would you rather him have a gun on his album instead? I mean really who cares? Like I said earlier, in a perfect world album sales would be based on lyrics and rap skills. I wouldn't call Mos a backpack nigga but I'm sure if he made friendly pop songs about chicks and shooting and being in the club he'd sell too, cuz you can't even deny that he's better than 95% of these commercial niggas out right now. And apparently backpackers do sell cuz Kanye outsold 50 so far! LOL

    You niggas are still talkin bout Kanye won Kanye won??  KAnye is My Fav Rapper. But Idiots ITS JUST FIRST WEEK Sells It pains me(lol) to read post by dumb niggas like yall. In selling Kanye is no match for 50 Track record proves it, This so called Comp btw the 2 hurt 50 because niggas like you wanted the chance to type 50 lost and hit the send button.Kanye is a better rapper than 50 lyrically thats a Givin 50s not or he never said he was ever lyrical.. But 50 A nice rapper to me.. I like him even more because I side with niggas who get hated on the most unlike some of u niggas who hop on a bandwagon and hop off when yall feel the stock fallin .. This aint the stock market. This is Hip Hip Hop. Both Kanye and 50 gave hip hopa new life on sep 11th  The Homies Deez and Baltimoreson Know what they talkin bout.. Finally some niggas who really see whats goin on. This a Marathon not a sprint.. Go out every week and cop Kanyes album just to keep the homie ahead they both won( Thats what some of u bloggers uh do too).. HIP HOP IS WINNING!!!!!!!

    Young Noles you support niggas who get hated on the most huh? So I guess you was buying Ja Rule and Murder Inc albums when Shady/Aftermath was bombing them niggas too huh? Good music is good music man. I hate how everyone trying to change the agenda. Yeah this whole thing was just a boost for both 50 and Kanye and hip hop is the big winner. Duh! Ya'll niggas state the obvious and act like ya'll are fuckin geniuses while saying cliched ass sayings bout this being a marathon not a sprint. The whole point of the week one "beef" was cuz 50 said he'd outsell Kanye. Ya'll muthafuckas take this shit personally and seriously like 50 paying ya'll bills and shit! LOL

    Look dummy.. First of all I liked Ja even after 50 slayed him until he let 50 make him change his style..And if he came out with something I liked I still fuck with his music idiot.. And since we're disagreeing with other ppl about 50 we're taking in personal?? But I guess everybody else was just stating there opinion right?? You right, Marathon not a sprint is a cliche And if you read other ppls post you'd understand we were stating the obvious but others were oblivious..And 50 said he'd outsell Kanye pereiod.. he didnt say frist week dumb ass. And if you read my other post I could care less who wins because I aint pick sides like yo homo ass.. Be ya own man Son. I like Kanye better than 50 But since all yall net niggas wanna hate 50 so much and buy Kanyes ALbum... I'm just letting u pussy ass niggas know the real. Race aint over.. And the funny thing is if Kanye still outsells 50 I wont lose any sleep.. matter of fact the only useful thing u typed in your post was aint none of these niggas paying my Bills.. But Obviously u caught feelings and called yaself callin me out.. lol.. Niggas yo post was meaningless and It clearly wasnt needed.. Damn Yo post seems like your life
