Selling out is what Artists do to make more sales. And if that means rapping about anything that'll get you an M rated album and put on the album because of your "radio friendly tunes", than that's it.

Metallica did it in 1995, but people believed it happened earlyer in 1991.

Most bands do sell out, because they realise a potential market for their style. Bands like Offspring, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Ashley Simpson, Lohan, and Gwen all share a common phrase of styled music; commersialised pop/pop-punk/soft-core radio friendly "pop tunes".
Commercial radio throws this shit down our throats, and so does T.V.

They do it for a reason; money. That's what raps about. That's what "pop-punk" is about.

If Eminem truely was "ganstar" he'd be in jail by now, or dead.

Even so, before he sold out to his "younger generation friendly albums" I knew an 8 year old listening to his "Marshall Mathers L.P", not the material I think SHE should be listening to. Even though the material back then was concidered "ganstar", and controversial, his new material is more than just a swing away from his older, fresher shit.

The Problem I have with this, is the world still think's he is a rap artists....He still think's he can rap.

Rap is suppose to be street, not rapping about, well, what ever "just lose it" is about, I haven't quite figured it out. And he is STILLL "Rapping" about the media and how he's ganstar and how everone is judging his wrong, fuck, get over it already.
