Brotherly Love- 50 Gets Crushed on SOUNDSCAN!
I guess the Sound Scan Killer... got Murked....the numbers are in... and 50 isn't on top. Does this mean we won't be hearing anymore 50 albums... or is he going to switch tactics and just do G-Unit collabos... I guess we will see...but check this out....EW.com has a piece with the boss CEO himself... HOVITO.... check it out... 
Jay-Z's Brotherly Love
Def Jam CEO Jay-Z tells EW.com how proud he is of his ''little brother'' -- and all-star on his label's roster -- Kanye West, who's poised to see his new CD ''Graduation'' bury rival 50 Cent's ''Curtis'' in first-week album sales
Def Jam CEO Jay-Z tells EW.com how proud he is of his ''little brother'' -- and all-star on his label's roster -- Kanye West, who's poised to see his new CD ''Graduation'' bury rival 50 Cent's ''Curtis'' in first-week album sales
With some projections suggesting that Kanye West's Graduation could notch as many as 900,000 CDs sold in its first week when Nielsen SoundScan numbers are released tonight — leaving 50 Cent's Curtis in the dust with a still-respectable figure of more than 600,000 — no one is happier than West's boss, Def Jam CEO Shawn ''Jay-Z'' Carter. Jay called EW.com today to do a little pre-emptive gloating, talk about his favorite Graduation cuts, and reveal the real story behind his own unlikely collaboration with onetime rival 50 Cent.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So Kanye's having a pretty amazing week in sales.JAY-Z: The Best Damn Week. What's the name of that show?
Best Week Ever?[Laughs] Yeah, yeah! I mixed the two up, [Fox Sports Net's] The Best Damn Sports Show [Period] and [VH1's] Best Week Ever.
How does it make you feel to see Kanye performing so well with this album?It makes me proud as someone who's watched his growth from the beginning, when he came in as a hungry producer, to now he's a rock star. I'm happy for him on that level. And I'm excited for creativity as well, because I think that's a win for that as well. You know, people mimic success. And in order to mimic that success, you have to put in a lot of work. You have to really care about the music. I was just listening to the first song [on Graduation], called ''Good Morning.'' [West sampled] an a capella of my song in the end, ''The Ruler's Back'' off of The Blueprint album. And I was with him last night, he was bragging about having the a capella. He's like, [decent Kanye impression] ''Yo, that's how I spun it, 'cause I had the a capella.'' I'm like, wow. The things he cares about! That's not a big thing, but in his mind, ''I had the a capella, so I was able to put that sample in there without any drums.''
Looking at the size of these numbers, would you say they've exceeded

Sunday Crazyness.....50 Cent: I'll Quit if Outsold by West
I saw this and it tripped me out... what do you say? (oh the AP news people are on it like that?LOL)
50 Cent Promises to Quit Solo Career if Kanye West Outsells Him; Both Have Upcoming Albums
50 Cent Promises to Quit Solo Career if Kanye West Outsells Him; Both Have Upcoming Albums
50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD.
"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums." "
