Lupe Fiasco is a perfect example of artist growth and not selling out. Even tho his latest albums sounds like some sell out shit, he even admits it and hates it. It was the record label that made him do it. Theres interviews on it.
Wait what?:confused:

He still put out material he felt wasn't what he wanted to release and admits to hating it. That's like the definition of selling out lol.

lol. if i had a chance to sell out for my success, i would. that "sell out" thing was in the late 90s/early 2000's. now a days, everyone is about themselves.

Selling Out Is Simply Forgetting Your Orginality Meaning Doing Songs Without Leaving Your Trademark Rather Its A Way You Say Certain Words!!Orginality......

Growth IS Simply Making Your Style Better Songs Are More Advanced Meaning From The First TIme You Started Rapping You Can See Til Now How Far Your Songs HAve Come From Production, Delivery, Completeness, Etc Etc....
The List Goes On

An artist can make more radio friendly music without "selling out". If fans expect an artist at 18 years old to make the same exact music at 30 years old, fans are being unrealistic. People grow and people change, we should encourage that and support that. As long as your music reflects your life, you can't be selling out.

Kee, you deserve to shine, you have had numerous semi radio friendly tracks that I think should have gotten you some major label attention. You are on the right track, it seems like its just a matter of time before you reap the benefits of your years of hard work...
