Selling Out??

[8FIVE8]

What do some of yall people consider as selling out??

 

[fillyacup]

to many.....game did, i think c-bo did.....i know ima hear it but this is my opinion

any west coast artist that fucks wit g-unit....

 

[D'struction]

Say like, if Tech N9ne started rappin on them south beats, changin his flow up to some boring ass shit and every song was about bling, cars, hoes, and slangin dope....that would be sellin out.

 

[Ulysses]

three six sold out as soon as they hooked up with project pat, eminem sold out with encore and eminem show, 8ball and mjg are selling out with that project pat song

 

[ANTI-SQUARE]

3 6 mafia definatly
ice t-(makin a david hasselhoff album??)
mob deep
freeway

il think of more

 

[THE ACIDRAPTOR]

Pretty much all the mainstream South rappers......

 

[BinGone]

^^^So you been up on all tha southern rappers thatz on tha radio right now???? to know that they switched they style up & sold out?????

 

[enserio]

Compromising your values or artistic direction for fame or money.

 

[TOKZTLI]

Any performer who sold their track to a commercal . . .

 

[J-Boy]

to many.....game did, i think c-bo did.....i know ima hear it but this is my opinion

any west coast artist that fucks wit g-unit....

[Jake]

Compromising your values or artistic direction for fame or money.

simple as that

 

[what it thizz]

to many.....game did, i think c-bo did.....i know ima hear it but this is my opinion

any west coast artist that fucks wit g-unit....

how did game sell out? he wasn't underground to begin with... to me selling out would be a hard, well known artist like yukmouth signing with a label like g-unit or some shit like that.

A REAL EXAMPLE OF "SELLING OUT": JAY-Z, EMINEM, DR. DRE

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

jay-z,eminem,kanye west,t.i.,mobb deep

 

[ThaG]

most Southern rappers didn't change shit when they went mainstream so I wouldn't consider them sell-outs (Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, etc.)

some obvious cases:

Snoop after No Limit Top Dogg
Jay-Z after 1997
Three 6 Mafia after 2001
Eightball & MJG
E-40
Mobb Deep
Fat Joe
Twista
and a lot more

basically everybody that switched their style to a softer more appealing to the masses sound at some point in their career

 

[ANTI-SQUARE]

e-40 did not sell out..

 

[moneyaffiliated]

e-40 did not sell out..

DID U HEAR THE SONG "U AND DAT" WITH TPAIN? KINDA HARD TO MISS IN THE PAST YEAR UNLESS YOURE DEAF.... U TELLIN ME HE DIDNT SELL OUT ON THIS SONG?

 

[ThaG]

if you're claiming you're the ambassador of the Hyphy movement and your album has only 4 or 5 hyphy tracks and the rest is southern and pop/R&B crossover attempts to satisfy the general listener, that's nothing else but selling out

 

[BoMbTrEeS2]

how did game sell out? he wasn't underground to begin with... to me selling out would be a hard, well known artist like yukmouth signing with a label like g-unit or some shit like that.

game WAS underground with JT

i think alot of yall got many things mixed up between selling out and getting with the program. I wouldnt consider signing to G-Unit as selling out.

Would u rather be broke, "rapping about havin the money"?

Or havin the money,"rappin about spending it"


Thats all rappers rap about anyway. Maybe not all but Most. Mainstream or not.

Now, i'm sure there are rapppers out there that rap for free and are not too worried about the money. Yeah Right.
