50 cent the Massacre

50 Cent spotted the rest of the music industry two days ... and he still crushed all comers. The beefy, beefing MC released his second album, The Massacre, on Thursday (everyone else stuck to the traditional Tuesday release date), but still managed to sell more than 1.1 million copies of the disc, scoring the biggest debut of 2005 and — almost as an afterthought — the top spot on next week's Billboard albums chart, according to SoundScan. But selling 1 million out of the gate wasn't Fiddy's only accomplishment. Last week, he made chart history, becoming the first solo artist ever to have three singles in Billboard's top five in the same week, with "Candy Shop" coming in at #1 and "Disco Inferno" taking the #5 slot; he also appears on the #4 song, "How We Do," from former G-Unit member the Game's album The Documentary.

There is no one else in the rap game right now, except Eminem, that can put out these kind of numbers. I dont think Jada's last album even made it to a Million and 50 does it in one week. Also having 3 of the top 5 singles that is just sick.

i also think the album is weak

i don't really like 50 cent at all to be honest.

on a side note, snoop dogg, the game and jadakiss are performing at my school in a month or so...

I thought the album was garbage, I can't even find one song that I like.

that Milli Vanilly record was the [censored].

Contemporary pop music (which 50 cent is) is fake. The labels write the songs according to the formula that sells. They then get beautiful looking people and train them to perform. Three words: black eyed peas.

It's a joke, and the recording industry is laughing at you... all the way to the bank.

Sadly, I think 50 Cent writes his own [censored]. The first two BEP albums were good.

This is quite possibly the gayest pic of all time.

I find it amusing that its now cool to hate 50 cent.

yawn...

(sorry this wasn't directed at the OP, those numbers are staggering btw)

Did anyone else see in the paper today that 50 ended the beef with Game? Come on... put a little more effort in than that. Does anyone actually still doubt that it was for hype?
