He is a super dope lyricist that is not gonna sell out to be in the game!

he also said "fuck it i'm going pop." And as far as topics, a lot of his lyrics aren't any smarter than what pop rappers talk about, he just says it using bigger words and multis.

That was very tongue in cheek because he was rapping over a pop beat.....Or did that go over your head?

crooked i is in on shady records with the rest of slaughterhouse

clearly....and since he did it once what makes you think he wouldn't do it again? What else would he have to do to be considered a sellout?

[Jaydc]

So doing a freestyle over a pop beat is being sell out?Damn I guess 99 percent of rappers are sell outs then.

I'm just asking you what exactly is a sellout? Because he seems to be perceived as a rapper that wouldn't sellout, but I don't see a big difference between him and the rappers we consider sellouts, besides his use of multis.

[Jaydc]

Well,I never use that term,it gets thrown around way too much and wrongly.Making it big doesnt mean youve sold out.Selling out,in my eyes would be someone going against their own beliefs just for sales.Say for example,crooked i makes a song like superman that hoe or stanky leg.That right there would be him selling out because it goes against his beliefs of dumbing down his lyrics.Or if immortal technique signed to a major label and dropped an r an b song with the dream that would be selling out.But signing to a major and moving units isnt selling out.

[Jaydc]

Lil wayne for example is not a sellout,hes just doing what hes always done.Hell souljah boy isnt  a sell out even,hes just doing him.

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

I agree with that. A lot of people misuse the word.
