Outside Ice Cube (at least music wise) and the majority of Wu members , I can't think of a mainstream rapper who hasn't AT LEAST made one sellout move

i dont think 50 is a sell out. GRODT was a mainstream album and everything after that was too. You gotta make money.

fat joe. I mean commin everyone from Jadakiss to Jay Z has sold out. I was disgusted when i saw Jada on Paris Hiltons album but thats where the money is and thus bar most of the conscious rappers and a couple hardcore ones i think its hard to a find a rapper that hasnt sold out. You could say Andre 3000 even has with that Hey Ya shit even though i liked it.

Selling out refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, 'success' or other personal gain. It is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society. A person who does this, as opposed to following the original path s/he laid (or claimed to lay) out for him/herself, is labeled a sellout and regarded with disgust and immediate loss of respect. Selling out is seen as gaining success at the cost of credibility. Every person, from the entertainment industry, to political revolutionaries, to a bohemian who suddenly switches to a socially conservative lifestyle, could be a sellout.

so what do you know about a rappers morality and principles? And how do you measure which rapper is the biggest sellout?
