Alright...I have become tired of hearing all of these people who complain about a song, or artist, becoming too mainstream. I can admit that I used to have this view, and would become upset with an artists over doing so. Then, something happened in my life that changed my mind.
I realized this music thing.....it is a BUSINESS. This is their JOB.
If an artist is not making the label money, they get dropped, they fall off, they lose support. Yes, there are some cases where an underground rapper becomes big on his own, staying true to his/her underground ways.
Yea, I sound like i'm just bitching and ranting, but I am only being realistic. These artists want to make money, they want to be a success, and to do that, some have to make a few radio songs to draw in the sales. It happens on most albums, and for most artists.
I only ask to see my view, and give up this whole "Sellout" idea that is so widely used to describe these career moves. They gotta make money, let them do it.
