When people say they will do anything do succeed, knowing that Hollywood is run by gays...just saying. It's fucked up that there are extremely talented people out there that will never make it because they don't want to kiss ass. RIP Patrice O'neal

It's worse than that. NWA already set that trend. But, as you reach whatever status you wish to attain, your lips get tighter regardless. Can't be reckless with that freedom of speech.
 
No sell out! Fuck that shit!

I'm sure all y'all walk around your jobs all day just spewing your views on Macklemore and what you think about his songs, yapping about all your views on everything.

Shit aint selling out, it's fucking being smart, and not really japping off about something that would really have zero effect on your life
 
Where is this freedom black soldiers go overseas and drop bombs for?



:lol::lol::lol:
 
This dude been sold out.Didn't he have a video last year or tha year before on some house nigga shit???

I only fuck with Corey Holcomb because he says whatever tha fuck he wants and ain't on no sellout shit.Almost every single Black person thats famous or on network television is ready to throw everyone Black under tha bus and show their teeth on short notice.

:smh:I didn't get "sellout" from that interview. He didn't blow up from Chappelle's show, Chappelle did. He still gotta eat! What he basically said was, from what I gather, he's pro making money. And that people with gimmicks, or who soft shoe a little probably had to do it to get the money and the fame. Since nobody on this board has a Hollywood career to deal with, what do we really know about what people had to do to "make it". Sure, some gay shit for some, dropping your best friend or the people you got you there to blow up. Look at Beyonce, she bounced. Jamie dressed like an ugly bitch. Martin did, too. Nipsy, Flip Wilson, Will Smith cooned the fuck out of some Fresh Prince! Kevin Hart dressed in drag AFTER he was a success. Explain that one! Lil Nigga didn't even have to rock the heels..:smh: All the Wayans dress like women, and all of em famous except the actual woman! LMAO! Most of these rappers have names that promote businesses and brands that do nothing for them or their culture. That ain't selling out? Niggas ride around in car with Skittles painted on em? :smh: There is selling out because you are dumb as fuck, and selling out for a large payday. Chappelle did it on his show. Shit was mad over-the-top cooning to me. All his legendary sketches made fun of blacks. He didn't do no overt Jew shit, did he? To be on SNL you got to wear the dress. So, if you sign up to be on there, learn your pantyhose size! Music is the same, 99% of them fools never shot nobody, and probably never sold over an ounce of anything. But we buy into that shit, right? Selling out? Yup.

What the fuck is selling out, really?

Me too, Corey is how real Chicago dudes think. I wish Patrice O'Neal was still with us.

Hiphop, and everything it includes is about expression. A true artist doesn't paint a picture that doesn't come from someplace within their inner being...but given the state of music, people are just rhyming words just to get paid. There is no passion, no love, it's all about "will this song get me spins on the radio?" An artist can talk about whatever they want, but that doesn't mean the entire genre is headed in that direction. Different artists paint different pictures...Van Gogh isn't the standard.
 
damn

i hate to say this but you aint lying Uncle Chuck

Think about it: "sellout" is one of those words/terms that we tend to toss around in a cavalier fashion, like "love", "snitch", "genius", and "greatest ever". Rarely do we used these in their proper context. I saw someone call us "sellouts", because 2 of our songs ended up on video games. Really? We're supposed to bypass a check to live up to your definition of "real"? No, thank you. If I do a theme song for the KKK, that's called selling out, me making a song to appeal to the masses or to cash in on a current fad, that's called paying attention to trends in my industry. Like Jadakiss once said, "If I knew then what I know now, I would have been standing next to Ma$e in a shiny suit making that money."
 
Selling out is selling out.

As I said, when you consider the companies you work for, or the stuff you take on your job, you could be selling your own self out for a check.

I'm going to say it and you can like it or not, but the only reason black folks hate when rich black people sell out is because they're leaving them even further behind financially.

How many pro-black companies do you think exist out there? This rabbit hole can go as deep as you want it to go, but naturally people will say I'm going too deep so they won't have to consider what I'm saying and really examine their own lives.

I look at it this way: If you sell out for crumbs, but won't sell out for something that can TRULY better your situation, then YOU'RE the dumb-ass.

Motherfuckers are quick to talk about they don't take shit off anybody, but get mistreated on their job, and just take it.

Why?

$$$

When it comes down to it, people will sell out to the extent that they're comfortable with the degree of selling out.

My definition of selling out is:Exchanging self, ideals, morals, beliefs, and dignity for compensation or recognition. The guy in a dress thing is so overused and unfunny, it's hack comedy...like those "black people be talking in the movies" jokes.

I'm not a big fan of the "keeping it real" motto because I was accused all throughout my teens of being a white boy for staying in and finishing my homework before going outside, using good grammar, and not wanting to engage in mischievous behavior. When someone is saying "keep it real", observe where they are at mentally and financially...because people love seeing you just as fucked up as they are.
 
Every man has a line. For Lord Jamar commercial acceptance isn't worth his voice. Being free to say what he wants is more important than money. Every man has to draw his on line. For Donnel Rawlings freedom of speech and expression can be bought. What's sad is that he hasn't even sold out yet he is just preparing for the opportunity to sell out. LOL

If this is the case, then Lord Jamar is like a fat ugly dude that proudly proclaims to be faithful to his wife. Ain't nobody checking for him. If that fat dude had any options, he'd be fucking. Same with Lord Jamar. Who's checking for him commercially? It's easy to be "real" when ain't nobody buying.
 
Man you guys confuse the hell out of me sometimes.

What's the goal in life? Especially as an american?

It's to GET. Seems to me all Donnell is saying is don't do anything to stop your "GETTING". White people have the things you want to GET. Don't do things to keep white people from GIVING you those things.

Do i agree with this? Hell no. But i completely understand it. He's raised like MOST OF US. He was raised to GET.
