50 Cent Says That People Shouldn't Be Focused on Record Sales



"What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away. I'd like to be a representation of that, because there isn't much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they're not being creative anymore. I've received nothing but positive feedback on this collaboration. And it's a surprise because it's playing in a space where you wouldn't traditionally hear 50 Cent. It's exciting and it's a whole new charge of energy for the person that is tuning in."

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't this the same dude who started that trend in the 1st place... he's the main one who made people look at records sales... when grodt sold, all curtis did was brag about his record sales... and now he's trying say they aren't important anymore? wtf? is it because maybe 50 senses a flop when bisd comes out??? do yall think records sales should be important in hip hop?

People not making sense. If u think 50 doing below 500k, you dumb ass hell

If you think 50 wont go platinum, kill yo self

Going plat aint a flop in these times. Stop being stupid a*******

For muthafuckas saying Curtis flopped. He double plat and 5 mil worldwide

What are you talking about. Seriously

http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums-2007.htm - By the end of 07, he was at 1.7. So u know he touch 2 by now

http://raptalk.net/website/content/view/942/56/ - 2007’s Curtis reached #2 Pop and #2 R&B/Hip-hop, selling more than five million copies worldwide. Thanks to Curtis, 50 Cent was honored as the year’s Best-Selling Hip-hop Artist at the 2007 World Music Awards

sales are not important in hip hop but 50 is the one that made them popular and important, and he's the one that really made the first week numbers known so it is unusual to hear him talk like this about sales numbers now.....
AntPermalink Reply by Ant on June 11, 2009 at 7:32pm
lol why people sayin 50 made record sales popular?.. smh.. makes no sense.. records are made to be sold for money the fact that 50 dissed people about sales did nothing and Jay was bragging bout his own sales way before 50 was..

and FYI Game was the first to diss other peoples sales (dissed Banks Rotten Apple numbers)..

Zv what do you mean look above, I don't have to look anywhere I'm putting my opinion in....I never said 50 was the FIRST to talk about sales, but he did speak on numbers plenty of times before. Why is that fact being ignored, it's just the truth.

50 needs to really flood the area with music or announce his retirement already. he is killing his career with people guessing if he's releasing an album or not.
