5 Reasons why sales numbers of Graduation may or may not defeat that of Curtis

By now you all know how the hip hop machine *cough..bigwigs @ Def Jam and Interscope*cough* have used both artists to milk suspecting fans, and create a pseudo anticipation for some kind of end-all, be-all good guy vs. bad guy for hip hop farce.

Needless to say it's worked slightly well thus far. However permit me to break down why I think Def Jam's current golden boy may win and or lose to Interscope's villain aka hip hop's mr. bad guy..

(PS: Sales as far as I'm concerned have nothing to do with music quality so just join in the fun of speculation for the heck of it, if nothing else for boredom's sake)

Reasons why Def Jam gets the W

1. Internet hype if anything to go by tells the casual observer G-G-G-G-can-not!

2. Kanye's image is finally taking shape into the hipster he has created himself to be...hipsters might be running this rap stuff.

3. Rappers may lie, magazines may be biased but numbers don't (c) me via Jay-Z...billboard charts Top 100 Pop songs have Kanye's "Stronger"@ #3, whilst Fif's "Ayo(Yuck)Technology" somewhere cradled in @ #21, not a good look considering you've made a boast (which you won't fulfill) that you'll retire if said aforementioned bol' beat you out on the market.

4. What the innanets are saying...more and more ppl like the beatmaker's album (as far as leaks and other goodies go).

5. People are just tired of the "bad guy." There's only so much "guns, I've got more money than you" talk we can take, right, right?


Now for the conspiracy theorization:

5 Reasons why Ye may take the L?

1. Stranger things in hip hop have happened, Jay & Nas reunited who woulda thunk it?

2. Internet hype =/= what the "Street-es" are saying..in real life anyway.

3. If the Villain is right, Def Jam may have to buy more rekkids... instant L.

4. The Villain is the more popular from a strict sales/music biz perspective, seeing amount of rekkids sold.

5. "Follow my Lead" = potential, "I get money" = potential club bangers...potential in the sense of after the fact push..however "I get money" is on its last legs...oh wait! The Follow my Lead video already leaked..

who am I kidding?
