I agree with everyone saying Nelly didnt sell out. She used to be an MC so her going urban was not selling out. But at the same time she imo did go to that genre cause its popular and knew it would sell cause she was large artist b4 Folklore and that had urban qualities. Now for Jewel, total sell-out. I think if you say youre never going to do something and then do it, its selling out.. but if you never say never it shouldnt be a problem unless youre going from say Country to R&B and working with IT producer. Madonna; its 50 50 with me. She obviously went with Timbaland, Danja, Pharell, etc cause she wanted a popular record and to be hot again, and all over the world instead not just overseas. But at the same time she dabbled in r&b and has always capatize on the up and coming styles before they hit the mainstream so it shouldnt be that big of a deal.. but we all know she wants hits and to be hip. So imo shes selling out a lil. See imo if P!nk went back ot r&b cause its popular I would consider that selling out even though she did it b4.. causes shes going with whats hot.. but at the same time she should be able to go back cause thats how she started and you can only do so many genres..

Exactly! I don't think a sell-out is someone who just changes genre's or goes mainstream. That is just a stupid excuse. Ugh! That's not what Im saying.

You basically said that Nelly was a sellout because she went with what was mainstream. Then Mackie posts a post saying Nelly ISN'T a sellout and you agree with it?? You are confusing.

I think we're having a communication breakdown, because it seems like everything I say, you take it like the other way! LOL I'll explain more if you're on MSN later.
