50 Cent Explores Alternate Outcome To 2007 Sales Battle With Kanye West

How???
That's the silliest shyt I ever read in my life
Kanye is the reason why you had young blacks feeling comfortable not being super thugs and having actual hobbies. A lot of mental slavery was broke because of (early) Kanye.
Late Registration is the album that truly broke Kanye as an artist. 800K first week on its way to triple platinum.
I honestly don’t think there’s anyway 50 was outselling Kanye no matter what stunt he pulled. The industry chose Ye. The audience chose Ye. The critics chose Ye. He was undeniable.

I'm sorry, but this is somebody extremely out of touch with black people, especially young black men at the time.
Check the fashions, trends, and even behaviors of young blacks from 2004 to 2008. It was NOTHING like it was from 2000 to 2003. The switch up was nothing like I have ever seen.
How old are you?

I turn 39 in two months.
Remember the switch up from baggy clothes to rock stat fitted clothing? Around 2004 to 06 to be exact. A lot of brehs changed up the ways they did things, and they related to Kanye a lot more in that time period. They saw 50 was this out of touch Oldheads, especially after the end of 2005.
Act like the album that had Gold Digger (#1 song in the country for 10 straight weeks, Grammy winner, 8 times platinum) didn’t exist brehs

Breh
What a person wears, does not inherently mean much especially when they're a teenager, when your brain is still technically forming. Any breh that in the 00's was gonna go college, the army, start a family etc. was gonna do that reguardless whether Kanye was there or not.
Why? Because that was the case in the 90's, the 80's etc.
but this is just absurd
These type of dudes have ALWAYS existed
c'mon man.
nikkas was wearing big ass pro clubs and baggy ass jeans.

I'm outta touch?
Even them urban retailers stopped selling baggy clothes in 06, mostly due to Jim Jones and "Ballin". Even without those factors, Kanye was a massive breath of fresh air musically at a time where rap was stagnated with Pac/50 Cent clones.

why speak about this in 2024?
If you were in DC at that time, I saw brehs back in 04 was rocking baggy everything, to wearing skinny jeans, skulls, and chains or even the preppy Bill Cosby outfits with jeans by Spring 06.
You had to be there.
