Seems dumb if you ask me, be true to yourself and make your music, let the people decide if it will be mainstream or not.

 

[Pittsey]

Nah. You gotta get paid.
If Chino can go gold or even Platinum by doing some selling out, it'd be worth it.

To quote EDI "If you aint in this rap game for the motherfucking cash mayne, then what is your purpose?"

 

[Rukas]

He just views it as two different types of music, its not selling out, its just making another kind of music.

, well hey, EDI is not exactly classified to speak out as Mr hip hop Spokesman seeing how he knows very little about it or how to perform it. actualy you'd be goin well if you forgot everything that has ever come out of edi's mouth. come to think bout it, it should basicaly become a crime to say your only in it for the cash. , maybe oneday

Yeah.
Fuck my kids, they don't need to eat. It's all about the music.
I only sold 2000 copies, but I stayed true.

Everyone sells out a little. I'd like you to mention those that haven't.
Even Kweli did.

And as for the EDI quote, I'm not a fan of his, who is? It just fitted.


Also I prefer MC's that don't sell out and I hate the way Aftermath artists considor it to be all about sales and money. But if I was a rapper I'd want to live well. And it's how success is measured I'm afraid.

And maybe Chino doesn't considor it selling out, and that it's just 2 different kinds of music. but will the fans look at it like that?

chino is sicc, cant wait for his new album

 

[Bill G]

I Told You So had an amazing sound, if he builds upon that I don't see why he can't release a Gold album at least with the right promotion.

 

[makaveli_411]

I think it's a good idea even though if Poison Pen is supposed to become a classic, maybe the idea of going commercial may get him the exposure he deserves because he's a great lyricist that has mad skills.

Peace

cant complain,. all it means is more chino xl

 

[Butt Rubber]

as long as the production is better than I Told You So, I'll be picking it up for sure
