Too bad kanyes album BEFORE the sales battle did 860k first week. Even if the extra 97k for the 957k first week of graduation came from camron and jada fans kanye STILL would have had almost 200k more than 50s 691k. Kanye gave 50 life for another year. 50 was on his way out (notice TOS only did 100k first week just 10 months later) and kanye helped him feel relevant for another year.

50 was on his way out after Massacre.. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

You know why a lot of people dont know and would be surprised if they found out that album sold 860k? Let me tell u why..

Mainstream has it's trends, and certain artist dont fit the trend. Those types of artist have no predators, they have no haters, everyone loves them. Everyone wants to feel unique following them.

So when Jadakiss drops 'The Last Kiss', or Jeezy drops 'TM 103', OR BIG KIRK moves 200k, the sales are surprising. Jadakiss is a respected artist lost in the YMCMB cloud, people didn't think he deserved to be slept on so they supported. Same situation with Jeezy, except that it wasn't YMCMB, it's MMG the fans didn't want to undermine Jeezy's work.

Whom was overshadowing the entire industry when Kanye pushed 860k? U welcome bruh..

Usher dropped a great album.....better than his last 2.....the problem is he doesnt have huge hits backing this album.....

Same goes for Akon & 50.....no hits, low sales.....

You also gotta remember that neither of these artists have been dropping a lot of music the breaks between albums have been too long fans want music music music, if they don't get it they are forgotten! The only exception is eminem #SK
