biggest sell out moments in hiphop?

[Top-Dogg2001]

Jay-Z
Nas
Those are the biggest two in my eyes.

I'm hoping the MOP/LFO is just one song. I don't want to hear any other pop shit from MOP.

The Hammer thing i'll never understand. i always liked Hammer, he did what he wanted to do. He wasn't a gangster and didn't pretend to be. Sure he did go hardcore for a while but he did that because he was running low on money. He did what it took to survive to bad no one took him seriously.

There is a difference between expanding yourself as an artist and selling out.  Eminem didnt sell out by performing with Elton John but Fred Durst sold out by doing a song with Christina Gaguliera.  Elton John is respected throughout the music industry while Christina is a joke to the entire music industry.  And no..Mack-10 joining Cash Money is not selling out at all.  Mack 10 was dropped from his label so he joined another hot label that continues to put out hot gold and platinum album--far from sellling out.  However, the LFO/MOP thing is disturbing as hell and I cant even begin to imagine what led to that.  I wonder if they were in the studio together or if it was cut and paste.  Either way--a HUGE thumbs down to M.O.P.

Busta rhymes and those damn mountain dew commercials. i used to like his music until he came out with "get outta here" or something like that. even Extinction Level Event was kinda pop.

^^^both of them sold out...and Fred Durst ain't even HIP HOP so know one here really gives 2 shits about him...sorry man Em sold out there...i bet even his fans would say that...first he dissin FAGS sayin he wants to kill them then he does a song with a FAG and on top of that gives him a BIG LOVING HUG...LMAO! ROFL! LOL!

You got shit twisted. EMinem dissed gays in MMLP multiple times and them all of a sudden does a collab with Elton John, a gay guy.

Fred Durst didn't diss Christina Agulara and then go perform with her. It don't matter cause EM performing with Elton John ain't exactly selling out anyways.

Yo...I was watching this car chase thing on Fox 11.......
(If you ain't from Cali you wouldn't know)
and they cut away from it to show this "Teenapalooza" or some shit like that....
Like a kid's version of an awards show or something???
anyway I heard them advertise "Nelly" to perform on it....

I personaly hate em' so I thought I would just shit on his rep for a bit......

Country grammer to 12 year olds.......

[cremedelaclem]

i rtemember when method man dropped that shit 'make ups to break ups'

being the old dfashioned wu head that i am i was like "no he didnt go pop!!!!" and since then meth's been mediocre....he gets love all over still but its only cos hes got that cool gravelly voice...his subject matter is non existant these days. i mean, what the fuck is this...

"they call me big john studd/ my middle names mud/ dirty water flow too much for you thugs/ they cant stand the flood/ what up doc?/ hold big gun like elma fudd the show stop"?

meth KINDA sold out to some pop shit...

[Rud]

the mop and lfo is a HUGE one

when jay-z started widdling himself to a pop rap rapper, i'm not saying he's a sell out but he went from a legitimate mc to a radio and mtv pleaser

mc hammer of corse
vanilla ice of corse he even admits it
mack 10 did in a way when he went to cash money
snoop did sort of by going to no limit but i don't really blame him cuz where else would he go? and he needed guidence after suge got locked up and dre left, it's like snoop said god put him there for a reason

??

I THOUGHT SNOOP WAS SENT 2 NO LIMIT BY SUGE...IT WAS IN HIS CONTRACT THAT IF HE LEFT IT WAS AT SUGES DISCRETION BETWEEN NO LIMIT AND DEF JAM AND SUGE TRIED 2 SLOW SNOOPS CAREER BY CHOOSIN NO LIMIT...BUT I CUB B WRONG!!

peace

[TheSheriff]

Yeah, Snoop was FORCED to go to No Limit.

((Sorry, my mistake...))

[Rud]

U MEEN NO LIMIT??

IF SO I AM CORRECT!

peace

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

No, snoop wasn't forced, it was his choice....

And no..Mack-10 joining Cash Money is not selling out at all.  Mack 10 was dropped from his label so he joined another hot label

How can somone be dropped froma  lable they started?





Oh and also, I have a feeling Kurupt is gunna sell out....

[Rud]

No, snoop wasn't forced, it was his choice....

Y DID HE CHOOSE NO LIMIT OVA DEF JAM THEN??

IMO DEF JAM WAS A BETTER OPTION AT THE TIME

peace

[Trauma-san]

Snoop WAS Pushed To No Limit, He Didn't Get To Choose... It's Like H'es A God D*mn Prisoner.

I Gotta Say The 2 Biggest Sell Out Moments In HISTORY Were

1. VAnilla Ice, Although I Probably Woulda Done The Same Thing.  He Was Kinda Street, He Wore Adidas Suits, Thick Gold Chains (Like Run DMC) Breakdanced, Was Into Turntables, DJing, Etc. (Look At His Lyrics, Yall, That Was His Life), And Then He Changed His Whole Image For The Record company, That's Why He Looked Like A Little Punk, But His Lyrics Were Always About Parties, Drugs, Guns, Etc.

2. Puff Daddy Doing The "I'll Be Missing You" Dedication Song A Few Days After Biggie Died.  THEN, Making The Whole "No Way Out" Album A F'in Memorial, Except He Didn't REally Give Props To Biggie, He Just Whined About "What Ima Do Now? Huh?" On The Whole Album... What, He Mentions It On Like 5 Tracks?

[Rud]

JUST AS I THOUGHT!
HE WAS FORCED!!

THANKS 4 THA BACK UP TRAUMA!
