The one day sales number are in and it’s not looking good for rap superstar 50 Cent.
According to trusted industry insider hitsdailydouble.com, Fif’s long delayed fourth solo album, Before I Self Destruct, is projected to sell 150,00 to 160,000 in its first week on the shelves.
If the estimations are correct, this will be the lowest debut week for the G-Unit general. 50 sold 872,000 copies of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ in 2002. In 2004, his sophomore album, The Massacre, rang up over 1.15 million discs and his latest LP Curtis moved close to 695,000 units.
Originally scheduled to drop on November 23 BISD was pushed up to a November 16 date after the album leaked online nearly a month ago.
The album has been available on iTunes since November 9, but, according to Billboard,
because of the unique situation Nielsen SoundScan will be including
those digital sales as a part of his first week tally. —Max G
HERE’S SOME COMMENTS FROM HATERS
AND LOVERS ALIKE.
HIPHOP says:
If he sells lower than Jay, he’s done!
Enlightened says:
Lower than Jay?? Shit. You mean if he sells lower than Ross?
If those projections are true, he ain’t about to sell TOTAL what Jay-Z sold in his first week.
sway-z says:
Fuck
it, thats what happens when you base your whole shit around sales
instead of skills. 50 brought that shit into the game, he was poking
fun at niggas, now it’s time to get off your own boat son,
it’s sinking, and fans is fickle as shit.
It’s fucked up too, cuz the album is actually decent, the 1st
9 joints is dope. In reality, if this album was Curtis, he’d
still be on niggas radars, but after awhile, especially when you doing
too much WWE shit, niggas start separating you from your music, and you
become a character
Bryan says:
Truth…that
is what you call getting back what you dish out. Fake a** beefs.
talking reckless about others and being the hip hop bully! He is the
new Vanilla Ice of hip hop!! This negro is so cooked…and he
ETHERED his damn self…how IRONIC!!!!
carolina’s finest says:
If
50 only sells 160 k his first week he’s gonna feel real stupid
don’t get me wrong he’s a hustler but this is the perfect
reason why Jay-Z isn’t trippin off that nigga. He’s not
relevant anymore. all that bullshit beefin and baitin niggas is old we
all know u 50. I still fuck with the nigga but this is a lesson learn.
