Last week, saw the release of The Game's new album LAX. This week's major hip-hop release comes from Young Jeezy, who will release his third album The Recession on September 2.
We're slightly switching things up for this contest, in addition to predicting how many copies of The Recession will sell in its debut week, also predict if first week sales of Jeezy's The Recession will be higher than The Game's first week sales for LAX.
The prize is a $20 Amazon gift certificate and bragging rights for the week. Please note that only registered userswill be in the running.
Predict in the comments if Young Jeezy's new album, The Recession, will sell more album in its first week than The Game's first week sales of LAX.
Also predict how many copies of The Recession will be sold during its first week.
Predictions after Sunday (September 7, 2008 will be disqualified).
Prize:
$20 gift certificate to Amazon.com
Additional Notes: *The winner will correctly predict which album between The Recession and LAX will have higher first week sales.
**Whoever is closest to actual sales figures from Soundscan. No Price Is Right rules in effect (i.e. you can still win if your guess is over the actual sales figures.) ***This contest is open to everyone, including Prefix staffers.

U guys are freaking stupid! Game is almost 10 times platinum with just two albums! Jeezy is tight but he is close to three times platinum with two albums. Game can outsell jeezy just with his name.
1)he will not out sell the game 2)he will probably sell around 250,000

Game only sold more because he was in g-unit and they were huge at the time. but nice try

the game second album sold 358,988 its first week
young jeezy second album sold 352,000
now that is not a large margin but will be tough the game album is good but to many features on a cd defeat the purpose of the talent of the artist
young jeezy album is good as well and keep it with least the three features and put out a good single out so i chose young jeezy with at least 250,000 while the game 200,000.

The Recession will outsell the L.A.X. The lax is just a whole bunch of samples put together with decent lyrics..... nothing more.
First of all the only reason the game was ever platinum was because of 50,and 50 was huge at the time. The game sucks and his records do too. 1)recession will outsell lax )will sell 570,000 first week

Oh just some updates for yall, on Tower, Amazon.com and BN.com The Recession has dropped LAX to number 2 or lower....lol. Not to mention it has dropped LAX to NUMBER 9 on the iTunes charts and it's only been the first day.....
Lol you need to read the news more, because Amin not to flame you or anything but with those numbers Recession already beat LAX, LAX(according to Billboard.com) sold 238,382 its first week :D I think it's called LAX because it "LAX" good material...lol. Jeezy will top him hands down, you know who knocked him to #2? Slipknot..(for you who dont know, Slipknot is a masked metal band who has never had a #1 debut album) so if tose metalheads from Iowa can beat "The Game" then you know The Snowman is going to crush his numbers. Case closed. 417,000 and on the way....
