6 and 8 aren't technically his songs, since they are on Game's album, are they?

That's what I thought

He also sold another 300K+ this week, remaining at #1 and totals for his recent album are past 2.6M.

On a side note, The game is playing a show here in Edmonton that I'm going to check out on friday, should be a good time.

Well he has the remix of love it or hate it (I think) on his album the G-Unit remix to be exact..

Billboard states he has 4 singles in the top 10...

In addition to notching a fifth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with "Candy Shop" featuring Olivia, 50 Cent also moves 11-6 as the featured artist on the Game's "Hate It or Love It" giving him four current top 10 hits. The rapper is the first artist to do this since 1964, when the Beatles held the top five spots on the tally

when they did it in '64 they were pop crap too

Never did I say that would happen! I hate 50 and think he is everything bad about hip-hop/pop/ and music in general! but everyone saying that the Beatles should be upset fails to see that they were crap when they were ruling the billboards... pop crap...

Well he's releasing this shit* back-to-back: "Candy Shop" and "Hate It Or Love It" were released within a week of eachother.

(*I still listen to the "shit" though :p)

I'm in it straight for beats. His lyrics don't phase me. He's like Chingy or Nelly to me: just in it for the sound.

I'm really feelin the beats of "Get In My Car," "Disco Inferno" and "Candy Shop" but not much else.

I just read this from the Billboard link:

50's own "Disco Inferno" drops two to No. 5 and his new single "Just a Lil Bit" climbs 87-75. But it's not all good fortunes for the rapper, as "Piggy Bank," which debuted last week at No. 88, falls off the chart this week.

WTF?! I didn't even know they WERE singles. As soon as people realize that "Piggy Bank" is a fuckin single, it'll head straight to the top.

See...he's putting his whole fuckin album in the singles section to try to be the ultimate "#1".

Sometimes I don't understand why some songs are selected to be singles. On the last album - follow up "In Da Club" with "21 Questions"?!?

Fucking girls ruin this industry, they're such fucking sheep. Every track on GRODT was better than fucking "21 Questions".

The Game >>>>>>>>>>>>> 50 Cent.

Just wanted to say that.

You sir are correct! I just hope that he stops kissing so much ass in his second album... shotouts are ok...but in every song? :lol

Suprisingly, the one really catchy single I think he has on his album (Outta Control) is nowhere to be found.
 
With creative lyrics like "I'll take you to the candy shop, you can suck on my lollipop", its NO WONDER he's on top of the world. I mean, that is SUCH a clever line! It kind of has two meanings, you know? That's awesome . I really think we're going to start seeing a lot of other songwriters do that kind of thing now that 50 has started it. He should really get paid royalties for that though since he pioneered it. Its so just fresh too! Man that is fresh! MMM!! Way to go 50 Cent. You've earned this.

IAWTP his album sounds much better... maybe it's because I continue over the years to prefer the types of tracks that Dre lays down...

I think I'm getting old, cause I think that song is a bit distasteful, especially when you think of the MTV market etc appealing to young kids. Basically the entire song is "You suck my cock, I'll lick your pussy and fuck you doggy style"

Although I did like his "I'll melt in your mouth girl, not in your hand" line

That line is so old it isn't even funny... I think the first rapper I heard use it was Big Daddy Kane.

The thing is why am I a hater if I don't like someone's music? I got his first album and listen to his second one fully... He's rich from his work, great! I don't care about that... I just think that his music sucks!

Hate it or love it is an awesome song. Don't hate.

I agree with you, and I'm not THAT old.. only 20. Hardly any songs ever "bother" me with their lyrics, but this one does. Probably because I'm going to hear six year old girls singing and dancing to it while I'm at the mall or something.

Hate It or Love It Remix >>>>>>>> the first one

fuck no. Leave the rest of those notalent losers from GUnit off please. Lloyd Banks can't even speak correctly and sounds like his mouth is shot full of novacaine or something, and who's dick did Tony Yayo suck to get on ANY album? Guy is garbage.

I think you mean that Dr. Dre has 4 songs in the top 10. It doesn't matter which no talent rapper is singing the lyrics (Fifty, Game, etc.) the only reason the song is on the list is because of Dre's production.
