deffinition of a sellout

Over the course of the two years east coast underground central's been up ive shown a strong hatred for mainstream hip-hop along with complaining in reviews when people sound poppish, so people start to think im againsts making it in the rap game. Not true at all. What im againsts is the fact rappers think they have to be like everyone else and not stay true to themselves or the art. Theres so money hungry they seem to forget theres millions of rappers outhere doing the same thing your doing so how do you expect to be noticed. They actually think one big hit or contributing to the current fad of rap will get you millions. Maybe true but when the fad wheres out your gunna end up on the back of a milk carton with no one ever remembering who you are. What people seem to forget in the beginning of hip-hop critically acclaimed artist like de la soul, eric b and rakim, wu tang, public enememy, common have all charted on billboard and gone platinum. Looking at todays wanna be emcees soulja boy no platinum black d4l no platinum plaque mims no platinum black million singles sold yes but one single wont pay for the gold around your neck forever. And with the age of i-tunes one hit is 99 cents a peace no ones gunna by your album if you got only one or two good songs when there saving 8 bucks NOT BUYING YOUR ALBUM. Anyway selling out means forgetting who you were. Looking back at mixtapes from example drake at one point this dude could actually flow. he had collaborations with underground legends like little brother adn was a versatile emcee. Once cash money came around every track is autotuned about hoes and i doubt phontes sitting in a studio somewhere thinking why did i ever work with him in the first place. The only thing good from that collaboration people are youtubing little brother to see who they are to bad modern day hip-hop fans take one listen to the beat relise its not trach and click out of the video. The art of selling out has been around for ages and whats even worse sellouts are taking crazes that were once praised as uniue and inventive adn turning them into the worst thing hip-hops ever heard. take AUTOTUNING FOR EXAMPLE. A classic hip-hop track started the autotune craze, affrika bambata's planet rock. When that came out critics were praising the uniques and sound now critics vomit at the sound of autu-tune pre little wayne days. What you wack rappers are doing now it has been DONE BEFORE AND DONE WELL SO WHY CANT U GO BACK TO THAT AND WHY DONT YOU READ HISTORY BOOKS AND SEE LYRICAL ARTIST IN TH E90'S SOLD MORE THEN U EVER WILL
