Why do people critizize a rapper for going mainstream?!


Question: I hear people say, "That nicca a sellout, im not listening to him anymore." or "He gonna turn his back on the underground, f*ck him." Do you not realize that he is trying to make a better life for himself and his family? Im sorry he cant stay underground for you.

Yeah. Most rappers started out underground then they move to the mainstream. Like people say Mos Def soldout which I don't think is true. Just casue he moved up & his fanbase got turned up. But like when Nas(whose a Conscious rapper) made that Oochie wally ish then he definately sold out there. Or like when Jay made big pimpin'.
I dont hate when they go mainstream. I actually want them to go mainstream so more people can hear their music (Little Brother for example.). What i hate is when they change up their style in order to go mainstream (Nas' Oochie Wally for example). If they stay true to thier music and go mainstream i could care less if they are popular.
Really?!! like who I thought that is a no no in hip hop.
if they change there sound purely to sell more records thats when i start hating. but if they just blow up and still keep it real thats kool with me
Maybe because they are jealous...or they feel like he doesnt deserve it. For example when Chamillionaire got signed to Universal alot of people said he wasnt gonna make it..basically i think they're jus hatin
Eason

FACT: I listen to more different hip hop albums in a month then you did in your whole life

FACT : you're too dumb and immature to know dope Hip Hop. So anything coming outta your keyboard right NOW is sh*t on the bottom of a shoe.
I don't mind them going mainstream. A sellout is not someone who goes mainstream rather someone that changes his style for the purpose of going mainstream (ie Ja Rule)
Escobar, I like you and everything, but you are the one sounding immature right now.
Its a trageic thing knowing that T.I got invloved with this federal investigation of not yet another black male figure in ATLANTA!!!. I know for a fact that T.I for one is not that crazy enough to try and purchase machine guns just hours before the BET Awards literraly 150 yrads or so from the civic center at Wallgreens. The media has said that ATF found out about this deal to purchase the guns the same day as the awards. This all seems untrue knowing the fact that T.I was featured on PUNK and gave you the charachter of a person that would never attempt to have access to a weapon nethertheless have it in his house facing probation violation and facing a 15 year Georgia law mandatory sentence being convicted as a felon in posseion of a firearm and he has over 6 firearms with silencer's. The situation is deeper than other's know at this point an I am not about to get into the full story due to the fact that I do not feel obligated to tell more than should be said and all I got to say is watch what who you be around when you have this money cause it really does TALK. . I wonder if they are trying to really crack down on Atlanta stars such as Vick and T.I. Is the government broke and need to start recollecting some of this black money? Dope boyz in da trap put Tip in the game and the FEDs have been listening to his music ever since. FREE T.I is what I say! FED's you did not have to arrest the man the same day as the awards show. You not only affected T.I but you have also effected other people and especially made the City Of Atlanta look bad! We got ya back Tip. Conspiracy 2007

I wouldn't lose respect for a rapper if a rapper becomes famous. I just don't like it if a rapper goes mainstream and starts rapping outside of his own style. I just don't care for the styles of now which is played out, but if a rapper raps about different things that are worth listening to and are mainstream, I have no problem with him.
