You know why ? Cuz Those suburban kids are the largest demographic for hiphop sales.
In some rare youtube video with birdman an dame dash were talking .. Dame said that selling a million was crazy, Birdmans reply "FUKIN WITH THOSE CRACKA'S" -

sooo making your music appeal to a wider audience is selling out ? i can't co sign that. you in the music biz to make money. especially now when no one in the hood is buying albums i guess he should be like beans lol -
jay z close thread. what cracks me up is that he always shouts out pac and biggie and tells them R.I.P. but never acknowledges big l. how u gonna shout out a ? that trashed you (pac), a ? that aint ? wit you until you signed to a major label (Big), but dont even acknowledge the man that gave you a spot on his album (Big L) when no one else gave a ? about you? if that aint a sell out, then i dont know what is smmfh

A lot of these rappers are making money. Selling your soul to do so is selling out. -

This is an easy one
Black Eyed Peas
Before they added Fergie and went mainstream, they were actually pretty good
Now, they make nothing but straight pop songs -

yeah true that. you wouldn't even think that Eazy E discovered them -
jay-z
wayne is ass but he was always a ? bling bling rapper so he's just being himself -
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you ain't buying albums and supporting artists, you got no business putting forth your opinion. Whether you like it or not, the music business is a BUSINESS, people got family's to feed. If you gotta "sell-out" to appeal to the audience that actually cop CD's, then you do what you gotta do. Jay sold millions with his last album, but Untitled, one of the best rap albums of recent years barely cracked Gold. Distant Relatives isn't gonna see gold for a while, and yet I haven't met anyone who didn't say Nas and Damian killed it. ? you downloading ass ? who always complain about artists selling out and don't support artists you like.

your in it to make money jay didn't change up what he spit about. i can see if he went from tracks like excuse me miss to some ? black eyed peas put out. it seems like once you make millions you become a sellout if you stay broke your alright -
Sellout Arena's yea Hov done that but his lyrics still on point...Puff Jay Snoop Superstars in Music Period I woundn't call them sellouts...$mart....yea
-
I don't understand why people consider artists who take a different direction musically as sell-outs.

C/s, even tho he dumbed down his lyrics, Jay was basically talking about the same ? . I understand artist are in the rap game to make money but some artist go TOO far to make that money. -
old ny rappers wished they could sell out
