Rapper 50 Cent has slammed Interscope Records for failing to adequately promote his album “Curtis,” accusing his record label of "dropping the ball" in his chart battle against Kanye West.
Fiddy - real name Curtis Jackson - released his new LP on Tuesday (Sept. 11), the same day as West's Graduation - but the Stronger star is already outselling 50 Cent by almost double, according to Nielson Soundscan.
Speaking to radio host Angie Martinez on New York radio station Hot 97 on Wednesday (Sept. 12), 50 Cent says, "To be honest the process of selling this record hasn't been fun. I'm happy with the performance, but I'm not happy with the set up. We had conference calls and after we created this plan, nobody actually had a plan. "It was the label. They're dropping the ball all over the place. I'll release my next album and then I'm a free agent."
West’s “Graduation” day one sale was at 437,000 copies to 50’s “Curtis” at 310,000. West is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 its first week, while 50 Cent is on track to do 550,000, according to Billboard magazine.

Honestly. I dig West's style. He's versatile with his music. He is on some grown man ish and 50 is on that 13 year old stuff. It was cute for a while now he's a little too old for him to be talking bout the little things he does. What about the other things in the world that is going on? Kanye is reaching out to everyone. I think the gangsta living is played out. That's why a lot of people shivers when they hear the word hip hop or rap. Because of rappers who's talking like this %%%%$$#@#!!!(****^%$##^&&**(*&^^$#$#$^^* It's nothing really more to say. 50 needs to grow up. But i like that song with mary let me be the one.
Although neither album has topped the first. 50 has great production but his subject matter has not yet changed. Kanyes production is good as well but the quality slip just a little. Oh did anyone get that new Common?
Wow! His album is coming out. 50 cent is my favorite rapper. I think he should beat Kanye West.
Has anyone actually heard Kanye's album, its garbage!! He has 2 or 3 hot tracks, but out of 12! That's a horrible ratio. 50 on the other hand has a banging album. let's see what his final sales will be.
seee what happens when u start sum s***! he's gonna have to retire his ass, already.
i've always liked kanye, i mean i could listen to his songs for a WHiLE before it get's old. but 50? nahhhh, his is like a 2minute wonder....
50 cent's album isn't as good as kanye's regardless of who promotes it or how much. kanye's single's have been better so DUH! what else does the public have to go off? SINGLES and if you have a hit then that will help initial sales. HITS and the quality of an artist SELLS RECORDS! so 50, start talking about something else other than money, women, and shooting people and maybe more people will buy into you. at least kanye has various topics, and we know a little bit more about who he is whether we like him or not. what new stuff have we learned about 50, how has he grown, who is he after all the damn shootings, public spats, rapper-rivalry controversy...who IS 50 CENT!?!
