Now that u brought up common...hows he a sellout?

Common was against the commercialization of hip hop in the 90s but the past few years he has been moving in that direction.

Who's making more money of Beats headphones, Dre or Iovvine?  That's the question because Jimmy seems 100x more into them at press events then Dre is

Makes you wonder how much money people are making off these guys.

Haha exactly!!!

A lot of these people co-own sport teams, appear in movies, and have other investments. Record sales is barely on here, but it would be interesting to see how much profit they have after tax, divedends (to share holders) and other expenses are paid to get a more accurate list. I bet Jay has to pay a large amount of that 63mil to other people

A sellout is someone who sells out their own principles. T Pain never claimed to be against commercial hip hop. He's not a sellout, just a pop artist. Common IS a sellout because he's doing things he used to criticize early in his career.

I don't think he's a sell out mainly due to the fact that he still puts in meaningful topics. Even his clothing line ideas and so on are all based on retro 80s, and that original era even though he's doing modern moves in a busy fast-paced genre that's very hard to compete within financially

MEANINGFUL TOPICS VS. Make belief stories or warnings. lol

you don't understand what being a sellout means. Its about compromising his principles, not about the meaning behind his music.

Nowhere near a common fan...please give song names where he spoke on all this?
