You can't sell out in a capitalistic country.

Selling out means you go against your original principles. How has Dre sold out? He has always been about making money.

Can't hate the man for doing that, aren't we all tryna get a piece of the pie?

no need to catch feelings....but a producer putting their name behind a brand of headphones that they use to make music sounds legit to me.

You don't think the walkman influenced music? You don't think the boom box had a huge influence for people bumping rap on the corners? What about car sound systems? Without those there wouldn't even be such a genre as "music to ride to." I suppose you think Kanye West would have had a career without Pro Tools? Bullshit, he'd still be down in his mom's basement complaining about his life. Hip hop has always had a connection to material objects and you're a fool to deny this. Some of the most classic songs in hip hop could be considered commercials. My Adidas by Run DMC, Gin and Juice by Snoop, etc etc.

No one said making art and making money is the same thing. But Dre has been in it for the money from day one. The guy started his rap career rapping about being a gangsta and smacking hoes for christ's sake, a lifestyle he has never lived (okay, maybe the slapping bitches part was true). So don't pretend like Dre has ever been about anything different. Why the fuck do you think he signed 50 Cent? Would you call 50 Cent's music art? No, obviously Dre backs 50 because he's good at making pop songs and he sells well. Why do you think Dre produced Snoop's album and not anyone else's during the Death Row era ? Because Snoop was the one with the most buzz. You are delusional to think anything different.

when Dre raps about lowriders and cognac.....hes incorporating those products INTO the music, cuz theyre part of the culture he wants to portray.....kinda like how Adidas is to Run DMC......I dont see how hes doing that by signing a deal with HP.....whatever....like I said, Fuck Dre for doing petty shit like this....hes got all the money in the world, he should stick to making better music.....and yall need to stop gettin all butt hurt just cuz I called ya man a sellout.....I call it how I see it, yall aint gotta agree with me

If Dre's a sell-out, he's a pretty lousy one. He's one of the only major names in hip-hop who hasn't ventured into clothing lines and such. His endorsement deals are mostly tied into music. You'd think if he was really just in it for the money, he'd have struck when the iron was hot about 10 years ago and gone the Diddy or 50 Cent route.

Headphones are definitely a part of Dre's lifestyle. Dre has never been into the clothing or shoes or the other aspects of hip hop culture like other rappers are. He's a producer. He's always been the guy in the studio making music, so headphones are a natural choice for him. This is no different than Lupe Fiasco and skateboards.
