They flooded the streets with mixtapes and so far have had one of the summers biggest songs "Straight Outta Southside" but 50, Banks, and Yayo still didn't do enough to get the number one spot on the billboards as Lil Wayne's "The Carter III was number one again on the Billboard top 200, after selling 156,000 copies.
After four weeks on the charts the self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive" is well over a million records and seems to be coasting towards double platinum with 1.6 million albums already sold.
Despite usually solid sales from albums in which 50 is on and public and critical praise for this album, Terminate On Sight debut with only 100,000 record sales.
Other notable albums on the top 200 are Cold Play's newest offering as well as Rapper Plies Sophomore offering, with a total of 356,000 sold so far.
In other news…
50's next solo album "Before I self Destruct is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of the year.

ur fucking gay
^^Fuckk get off DS u attention seeking faggot
50's next album "Before I self Destruct" is guaranteed to be a flop, the nigga has already self destructed. Even mainstream America has turned their back on G-unit now
unit fucked up, i think they'd still be on top if game and buck was still with them, but they got too many haters now because they got beef with half them rappers out there. Let's wait and hear 50's exscuse.
hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gunit flopped and they said plies flopped get out here man u gotta admit plies 365,000 and 100,000 and who higher i prove my point bitches trash all u want i feel good right now
woah woah woah woah 50 is garbage
haha get off 50 dick
Thats what the fuck happens when you turn your back on the fans that embraced you for gems like BACK DOWN and WANKSTA, and start churning out punk ass shit like AYO TECHNOLOGY and AMUSEMENT PARK. Effectively filling the gap that your former nemesis left open after you dissed him for it.
Honestly Im suprised it took THIS LONG for the high school girls to stop feeling him.
I would speak on Yayo & banks too but them niggas aint even worth dissin.
This nigga better start protecting his Vitamin Water investments because his days of being Raps biggest name are long gone.
THa Reason This Shyt Is So Funny Is For Tha Sole Fact That 50 Always Talks Numbers Wit Sales And Talks Down On Shyt And He's Comin Short On His Own Barely Stayin A Float...LMFAO!!!! He Ain't Learned From That Kanye Incident Yet?? SMH...Scream At Me,1..
only 100,000 damn 50 whats up wit that. and this O KKKayFED GOAT stop it please. your obviously a jackass.
bein goin 5 days come back see okkkatfedgoat wtf hop off
[BK*Bullshyt.. FIRST OFF KANYE AND 50 WOUDVE PROLLY SOLD LESS IF IT WASNT FOR THAT COMPITITION BETWEEN EACH OTHER THAT WAS A GOOD MARKET MOVE FOR BOTH OF THEM AND THEY KNEW IT... AND AS FAR AS CARTERiii GOES HE SOLD THAT MANY ALBUMS WITH NO REAL MARKET SCEME OTHER THAN DOING A MILLION SONGS AND BUILDING UP THE HYPE.. AND IM GOING TO GO ON A LIMB AND SAY 50 CENT ALBUM IS GOING TO SELL AROUND 200,000-300,000 FIRST WEEK AND PROLLY TAKE A YEAR TO GO PLATINUM... I THINK THE WHOLE G-UNIT BUZZ IS DEAD AND 50cent SHOULD KEPT HIS WORD AND STOP RAPPIN AFTER KANYE KILLED HIS ASS ITS OVER FOR G-UNIT THEY LOST THE STREETS REALLY WHEN GAME LEFT AND THEY LOST THE MAINSTREAM PEOPLE AFTER THAT KANYE SHIT.. O YEA I ALMOST FORGOT I BET ANY KIND OF MONEY THAT NAS ALBUM OUTSELLS TOS.. AS FAR AS HIP-HOP ITS OVER FOR THE UNIT
FUCK RECORD SALES T.O.S IS A HOT ALBUM
JUST CAUSE A FUCKING ALBUM DOESNT DO GOOD IN RECORD SALES THATS DOESNT MEEN THE MUSIC MATERIAL ISNT GOOD.
I told you "Scoop" there needed to be a post about this on your profile after you touched on it, and look next day there's a post, I had a feeling there would be, it would have been too silly not to post a story on this, you know people love to internet beef and what better than Weezy and G-Unit...so I was half right I thought tha next big article with comments would be how much hotter Nas's album is compared to Wayne and such, but they did use tha slow numbers with T.O.S. compared to Wayne's Carter 3
2 fingers
Niggas gotta be joking if they think 50 only sold 100,000! Those are some false numbers right there! Check Billboard.com. Then again this is defsounds they all about rumors anyway!
Godd music can never outsell bullshit music... as white folks prefer ther bullshit music (being stereotypicall so donbt start wit callin me on racist and shit im just talkin in general)
well maybe it flopped in record sales but as they say sales don't mean shit as far as the music is concerned..and in my opinion tos is the best album out right now the whip can't get enough fuck the haterz TOS is multiplatinum in my IPOD!!!! GGGGUNIT !!! hate all u want but let's see what nas buck and game do wit there shit comim out!!
BE FORREAL CAN U REALLY BE SHOCKED THAT T.O.S FLOPPED?
Cam, Fat Joe, Buck, TI, Game, and Jada are out some where poppin bottles right now. LMAO
Btw, you know you're a G-Unit stan if you say 100K isn't a flop when the group(G-Unit) and the leader (50 Cent) are known doing MAJOR numbers.
I wouldnt call it a flop considering Beg For Mercy did 360,000 first week and its 3 times better than T.O.S.
Tos deserved those numbers no more no less
K-Bon u must be on g-units dick if u don't think it's a flop. 100k ain't shit even buck the world sold more and that didn't have much help from 50.
Word they do...shit we should pop some bottles to
POP ALL THE BOTTLES YOU WANT YOU FUCKIN GAY FUCKS WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT IT FIF IS STILL RICHER THAN A MOTHER FUCKER AND THE ALBUM IS THE BEST FUCKIN SHIT GOIN RIGHT NOW SO GO IN UR CLOSET PUT TOS ON UR IPOD AND POP ALL THE FUCKIN BOTTLES U WANT CAUSE YOU AIN'T GONNA HEAR A BETTER HARDER MORE AGGRESSIVE ALBUM ALL YEAR !!!!
THA reason 4 all dis BULLSHIT record sales iz COZ interscope fuked up on SHIPMENTS of tha ALBUM 2 retailers...peep tha story on THISIS50.COM
lol dats wut a gunit rider fan would believe
lmaooo
lol Yea... I expected 50 to blame something for the flop, smh.
haha that post made me laugh hard. you got 50 so deep in ur throat u would believe anythin the man says.
i doubt it was that it was just a aggresive album, it wasnt smooth bop...its hard to do major numbers when your not licking lollipops...i guess i must be a gunit fan because a scooping wayne stan would never aggree to that..and 50 never said he blamed interscope he never did..that was just propaganda from sites like mediatakeout.com and ect..
who cares the cd is fire
yeah.. who cares about fucking sales??.. album was fire son.. i think the sales nowadays are different. it's all about ladies..lillopop songs .. Most people not paying attention to real hiphop.. which is G Unit
^^what is this kid smokin. give me some
EVERYONE GET NAS' ALBUM
"UNTITLED"
REAL HIP HOP
THATS GOING NUMBER ONE FORSURE!
Nowadays it's quantity over quality. Who the fuck cares about record sales seriously? Yeah I copped the album and I enjoyed it.
I agree with you a 100% fam.
But record sales are 50 Cent's bread and butter. He lives and dies by numbers. Even if his shit is whack as fuck, 50 will justify that by saying he went gold the first week or whatever. He can't do that now. I know he's flipping tables at Interscope right now. He's prolly devastated by this.
I heard TOS it wasn't a bad album by any means but on a basis of sales (especially by G-Unit standards) they flopped.
You have a valid point. I know 50 lives and dies by the #'s. But I don't think he cares in this case because it's a group album, plus I don't recall Fif making predictions on how the album will do good soundscan #'s.
Nah fam, 50 definitely cares because he's involved in it. I mean G-Unit is his company. It's not like he was featured on a random album that flopped. He was a big part of the album TOS. What ever they do reflects 50 Cent because he pretty much is G-Unit. So for them to sell 100K in week 1 is not going to sit well with 50.
Well your right in that matter. I wonder though if Interscope screwed the Unit over with the shipping of the album?
na dawg that's just 50 talkin out of his ass
Yeah acestar thats obvious..lol
?????
??? = I meant to say that is obvious that 50 is talking out of his ass like you said.
oo well u asked the question twice so i wasn't sure my bad
It's aight..lol
all that controversy for 100k in sales. guess that shit kinda backfired on him.
I got 25 Gs put to the side for when Yayo puts his Escalade on Ebay to pay off his Taxes!
I cant wait to see them 24s gleamin!!!
You niggas better not try to outbid me!!!!
Whats 50 gonna say now??
Did G-Unit flop? Yes, obviously. But for all yall haters who comin on here who couldn't wait to log on just to say something. HAVE YALL EVEN HEARD THE CD? Like dude said.....90% of rap 2day is quanity over quality. THE CD IS FIRE. I'm not gon front. If yall like Beg For Mercy there should be no reason for yall not to like T.O.S.
Now for the interscope sabotaging thing. I did hear about that. I don't know if yall heard about this but BUSTA RHYMES WAS JUS DROPPED FROM INTERSCOPE like two days ago because he got into it with Jimmy Iovine.
On G-Unit Radio pt. 25: Sabrin'as Baby Boy....50 got a song where he like "FUCK JIMMY IOVINE HE AINT MY BOSS! I AINT GOT NO BOSS!" If that sabotaging thing is true Jimmy prolly got back at 50. The case is that they didn't ship out enough cd's to retailers. I mean G-Unit just did a world tour. I'm sure people in the other countries would've copped it. Thats it..
still best album of the year so far to me. But 50 made that bed now he gotta sleep in it. He made people think that album sales were important for a cd to be good. Now he must lay. T.O.S still best album of the year so far.
Exactly!! He got people thinking that record sales are the only thing that mattered, that's coming back to haunt him now.
PERFECT analogy negro.
Thats EXACTLY what he did to himself.
TOS? The Roots CD was way better......waaaaaaaaay better!
the roots got something out, i gotta pick that up. black thought is the man.
50 needs to do what dre and em do, he should just fall back and throw everything away that he done for before i self destruct and just start over with that whole cd; he should just fade to the black for a year and let banks try to shine on his own without 50 around, Then comeback next year in the 4th quarter and drop Before I self Destruct and make sure its a masterpiece, because if he drops another cd this year its not going to be pretty.
you rite with that one homie
thats the truth!... its that over saturation.. thats the american public for you..they wanna build u and tear you down.. and honestly.. you, as an artist, lose the hunger & creativity needed for an album like "get rich or..." when ur putting out material so quickly... why does OutKast, for example, make such amazing music.. cuz they WAIT...Speakerboxx/Love Below went DIAMOND!.. and that was years ago now..and they arent rushing..let the publics appetite grow.. we cant even consume the shit u JUST put out before youre shoving another rushed CD down our throats... chill the fuck out...
Im very happy this happened
And we must not forget that this is not a 50 LP so a 50cent cd has never flopped.
yea but what do you think will happen when he drops "Before I Self-Destruct"?... He prob won't even drop it now
We all know the cd flopped. But I got a question.
Let me ask yall with T.O.S (not the sales but he killed every verse he had)did Banks just set his self up to make a run in hip hop.
Hopefully, 50 will shut the hell up with the sales talk. Karma a mutha fucka aint it? Make sure yall cop that Nas. Its a hot disc.
Nah i aint buying nas homie.
why nott??? How can you say that T.O.S. is the best album of the year if your not going to listen to one of the most anticipated albums of the year?
Not that I care and all, but apparently there are rumors that Interscope sabotaged G-Unit's album by not shipping enough copies. Maybe thats the reason why G-Unit did 100,000 +.
That rumor doesn't make sense to me. Why would Interscope sabatoge an album that is part of Interscope? G-Unit flopping isn't going to help Interscope, it's gonna hurt them. G-unit is tied with Interscope. So why would they want to lose money by sabatoging their own shit??
It seems like more excuses man. Remember when Kanye beat 50 and 50 was making excuses left and right: "I meant world-wide sales." It seems like homie is making more excuses. It's time for 50 to man up.
Reality is, 50's been digressing (getting worse) as an artist. He hasn't made a hot album since GRODT. Kanye beat him in the sales battle. TOS flopped. 50 needs to come back to reality. He's living in his own world right now with people always kissing his ass and telling him yes. He needs some real niggas in his corner to tell him what's really going on to help him step his game up.
Yep agree. Those so-called "G-Unit fans" with a Thisis50 account need to tell 50 stop bullshitting and go back to your own roots. If I'm him I'll work more with Eminem and hopefully get these two to make a hit record.
When kanye beat him it was "Worldwide sales/label buying kanye's albums" now that he can't sell, he is blaming his own label? So the label that is backing your project is gonna fuck you over? Not to mention that they will be fucking up their money too...
LMFAO!
RIP G Unit 2002 - 2008
Wow, they Flopped HARD
Plies Da GOAT, 50 didn't put out shit singles, he put out mixtape singles that didn't get put on the mixtapes except Rider Pt. 2. Plies lives for crying about bitches and just being a homo. I am tired of you on Defsounds Plies goat, just go away. You have terrible opinions and you type RETARDED.
Numbers mean nothing, Lil Wayne had Lollipop out for so long and it was a club song (and a shit one). At the end of the day I don't go "Wow TOS sold low numbers I am going to sit here and cry or better yet not listen to it." No, I like the album, it sounds like a good mixtape to be honest.
Why do people laugh at SOMEONE IN THEIR OWN GENRE flopping? This is Hip-Hop, no matter who is in it, when someone famous and very well known doesn't sell very well (50 is known around the world. Sold 11m Copies of Get Rich, sold 1.14m copies the first week of Massacre, and sold 700k the first week off Curtis) that's not a good thing. Why laugh?
The only reasons rappers (more like people who talk on a record) like Plies sells is because he has faggots (Like Plies GOAT) and little girls that listen to his shit.
Let's listen to music and stop laughing at someone not selling decently. Next album on the come up is Games, let's hope he sells good.
Plus everyone has their time in this game we call rap, G-Unit and 50 have sold so many copies of Cds someone like Plies will never be able to compete with them.
nigga u mad cause gunit flopped nigga...plies talk girl shit on the radio and otha than dat shit its fire stop listen 2 radio hits nigga i dont like that radio shit about girls nigga shit
You are mad that Plies is shit. AND FOR ONCE TALK RIGHT! You know, a complete sentence so people can understand you?
yup da south is running this rap game.to be more specific flawda is running errthang right now.now u ppl 4rm da east cant talk cuz yall biggest artist jus flopped lol
50 is nowhere close to the east's biggest rapper, i give that to jay or nas which would wreck any dude out of florida so dont start nothin please. rep what u got but dont challenge the lyricism that is the east coast..
