It has been confirmed that Kanye West has emerged victorious in his chart ‘battle’ with 50 Cent. According to figures released by Billboard today, West’s ‘Graduation’ album sold a staggering 957,000 copies in it’s first week – besting 50’s album sales by quite a margin. ‘Curtis’ sold roughly 691,000 copies. ‘Graduation’, the third full-length from West, also charted higher than 50 in the UK, where it debuted atop of the official album chart this past Sunday.While I’m glad (mainly because Kanye’s CD was generally better), it’s kinda unfortunate that 50 has gone back on his promise to retire if Kanye beat him. Still, I’m guessing the damage has been done. Put simply, people aren’t checking for 50 they way they once were and this shows it.
Your thoughts?
WHAT!? 50 went back on his promise!? I swear, 50’s a b****! This was just a publicity stunt for him! Kanye didn’t need it. 50, I will discontinue from buying anymore of your albums because you lose respect.
Nearly 700,00 unit sold 2 X plat overseas in 50’s favour and you say no ones checking for him. LMAO
If it was’nt for 50 & Kanye’s Hip Hop battle it truely be dead. Because aint nobody selling like that.

50 retire you lying mofo, I don’t mind Kanye but most likely some people bought Kanye album to make 5 cent retire and now he’s saying it’s the label oh i’m not going, B****!!
Not taking another away from Kanye i’m glad he won the battle if 5 cent didn’t run hos mouth it wouldn’t have turned into a battle but the b**** run his mouth and now he got beat, LMAO
