Picture of 50 Cent in suit
50 Cent recently addressed a question aimed at him about Lil Wayne selling one million copies of his last album, Tha Carter III, and claims that he [50 Cent] is still #1 next to Eminem, and questions what does Lil Wayne’s one million sales say next to his 10 million.

“What does that mean that you sold that,” the rap artist, businessman and co-founder of G-Unit, 50 Cent, stated to XXL Mag when asked about Lil Wayne selling one million copies in Tha Carter III’s first week out last year.

“So you gon’ forget that I sold 10 million records twice - 12 million first album, 10 million next one. So what does that one million mean?” 50 Cent added.

Prior to that, 50 Cent gives props to Eminem as being number one but claims next to his accomplishments, regardless of Lil Wayne’s sales, he [50 Cent] is the next on the list.

Later on, 50 Cent also gives props to Jay-Z for remaining a relevant artist who stays on top through any cloud.

“There’s a respect that is well deserved on Jay-Z’s part,” claims 50 Cent regading Jay-Z’s accomplishments.

Check out 50 cent’s video interview with XXL Mag speaking about Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jay-Z, Kobe Bryant and more.

I agree with him 100%! Eminem 50 and JayZ are the hottest rappers of this and last decade, and probably the next decade too. LilWayne is okay, but his ego is bigger than what he actually deserves credit for. Same with Kanye.

50 needs to learn the meaning of the word “modesty” .. it’d get him off his high horse. 50 never sold 1 million in the first week (Em has done it twice I think, the first time was nearly 2 mil), that 10 million shit is accumalative sales. I’m sure Tha Carter III will reach that point soon enough. Not that I like Lil Wayne very much but Who cares about 50 anymore? Absolutely nobody lol. Curtis my friend, candyshop aint hot no more. The difference between you and Eminem is that Em will always be relevant, whereas you won’t be because all you ever do is club tracks. I don’t think 50 will ever have the potential to reach Em nor Jay Z’s calibre, sure 50 everyone knows your name but everyone knows Lindsay Lohans name too, that’s not such a good thing. My fuckin arse if it goes Eminem then 50. What the fuck has Dre been feeding this mans ego? I mean I used to like him but nowadays all I ever hear about him is him talking shit about other poeple, funny thing is he has nothing to back it up cept’ IM 50. He says he likes Soulja Boy? .. Soulja Boy raps like Spencer Pratt and I WISH I was joking… You can tell the interviewer was like “WTF?” .. Lool. I’ve never seen someone talk so much shit in my life. 50 you have just lost all my fuckin respect, I mean the only good CD you had was Get Rich or Die Tryin .. maybe even The Massacre after that you fell off, hard. I wish Em put more effort into Cashis who actually deserves to be where 50 is. Lol, Cashis is crazy, he has PAC flow. No joke.

Peace, Love & Happiness.

Actually The Massacre sold 1.1 million in its first 4 days
Get Rich or Die trying did 800,000 in first week AND in the second week (due to the good music and buzz around him)

lil wayne only did 1 mil first week thn his sales DROPPED after the ssecond week and i never even heard of any other albums he had out lmao

the lowest 50 cent album was Curtis which still did 690,000 first week despite the BAD PROMOTION he hept saying and all the leaks

BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT LOOKS LIKE ITS GOING TO DO AT LEAST 800,000 AGAIN, the quality of the music he producing now is at its best like before he was signed

@a .. I didn’t know that. Lol. Guess I should get my facts straight before I start talking .. Lol, but still .. I don’t like how he feels the need to downplay other peoples accomplishments. I don’t see the BISD album selling up 800,00 .. the hype over 50 has gone completely especially since Curtis was such a flop, and he said that he had been doing both albums at the same time so the quality of the work might be the same.
