Will 50 Cent's Video Diss Harm Or Help Fat Joe's Album Sales?

By Sharmaine Jones

The Fat Joe and 50 Cent saga continues. Fat Joe's last stab at 50 occurred at a listening party for his tenth studio album The Darkside Volume 1, ending a song with “We gone throw the biggest party when Curtis die.” Now, with Fat Joe's album being out for a little over a week along with sound scan numbers, 50 is striking back!

Fiddy took to Twitter to post a link of a new video he released, mocking Fat Joe's album and its projected first week record sales:

“I Love Fat Joe!! http://ning.it/aSx76g”

In the video, 50 takes credit for the lackluster sale of Joe's album and pretends to be remorseful. He also includes different clips of people crying for added effect.

"I just listened to Fat Joe's record and this is all I have to say." 50 then puts up a copy of Fat Joe's Darkside, Volume 1 which has an animated smiley face crying with tears pouring down its face. "I didn't mean to do this to you Joe."

50 then shows clips of different people crying for added effect. The video ends with a message reading: "Only 5,000 copies sold...d*mn Joe!"

Mr. Don Cartagena seems to be cool with the success of his album, sharing the stats on Twitter:

“Congrats to @joeycrackts for selling 12,320 copies of The Dark Side this week & being the #2 indie album!!! Via E1!!!!!“

He also took made it a point to publicly shrug off the haters:

“Why they mad at me for putting out good music real music music they can't make!!! DARKSIDE!!!”

Fat Joe's album ranked within the top 30 Records on Neilson Sound scan. Not bad, or surprising because the album is poppin! Aside from the popular tracks “If it Aint About Money (Feat. Trey Songz)” and “Ha Ha (feat. Young Jeezy) the rest of the album's total vibe and lyrical content is on point.

On the track “At Last Supremacy (featuring Busta Rhymes),” Joe spits:

“Critics writing dissing me / its only right I turn the page / The streets is missing me / they loved me in my early days.”

We guess Fat Joe's mantra “J.O.S.E.” (Jealous Ones Still Envy) is still in effect since 50 went out of his way to create a “dis” video!

Will 50 Cent's video help or harm Fat Joe's record sales? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3!
