The back and forth between 50 Cent and Fat Joe continues. And with the first week numbers in for Joe's latest album, Elephant In The Room, 50's having a field day insulting the Bronx rapper.

In a video posted on 50 Cent's online community ThisIs50.com, the G-Unit boss throws a mock funeral for Fat Joe's career, saying the rapper's career has ended.

"Fat Joe just passed away. Soundscan came out and he sold like 46,000 copies," 50 says, via video, with tears streaming from his eyes. "DJ Khaled is almost finished, he's done.

"The results are in, Elephant In The Sand (50's latest mixtape) wins by a landslide. [It's at] 400,000 copies downloaded. On ThisIs50.com, a staggering 220,000 downloaded there and if you don't believe me, you can go check yourself and see it. It's a fact," he continued, poking fun at Joe for selling just 46,000 copies according to Nielsen Soundscan.

For those unaware, 50 Cent dropped a mixtape titled Elephant In The Sand with his G-Unit roster on the same day as Fat Joe's latest solo album, Elephant In The Room. Since they both dropped, he's been counting the days down and the numbers to see who came out on top.

According to 50, his download numbers have beaten Fat Joe's sales by a landslide. He also sarcastically explained how he felt bad for the Terror Squad founder.

"I think this is really bad for him," 50 said. "I think that the space that he's in right now, he won't ever create material that makes him relative. Every album, the n---- put out one song that's good. The rest of the sh-- is just trash. It's not even worth buying the CD."

50 goes on to call the beef between Fat Joe "fun," and just "sparring."

50 and Joe have not been real chummy ever since Joe appeared on Ja Rule's single "New York." Although it's died down over the past year or so, it resurfaced when Joe announced the release of a new album, and got worse after his recent scuffle with rapper Papoose in early March.

Since then, Pap, Fat Joe and 50 Cent have been going at it verbally via their music, YouTube videos and interviews.

curtis shouldnt talk about record sales, his record sales are getting smaller and smaller with each album he puts out....the only people who buy g unit albums are little rich white kids in the burbs, and soon even they will stop buying that garbage.

50 clowned that fat ass wet back. he ain;t even a nigga. He doesn't get 7 a cd, they've distributed like 500,000 so they're going to make a loss unless Joe ships them all. so forget $7 a cd until it makes enough money. consider the video, promotion. he's goin to take $3 bucks away lol

the only people who get a tickle out of this clown fifty are desperate internet people who want a story and lost soles who have no idea what real hip hop is (mainly teenagers). album sales have nothing to do with a good album. CHINGY DID 3 MILLION ON ONE ALBUM, I CAN NAME 20 RAPPERS WHO NEVER SOLD THAT MANY ON ONE ALBUM, INCLUDING T.I, JADAKISS, STYLES P AND SHEEK. SO LOOK AT THAT PEOPLE
