when asked if he would trade 100 juggalos for 1000 mainstream fans he said "i wouldn't trade 10 juggalos for 100,00 mainstream fans" if you love the music then you should be content to make a smaller amount of money and stay true to yourself as an artist, however the music is no longer the focal point not just in rap the same can be said of all genres of modern day music. Metal sounds to punk punk sounds to pop, pop sounds to.............gay but if you want to make money then you have to cater to the fans who don't just want to hear grimy hip hop. Also when you try and broaden your fan base you have to hit them with something that those people listen to and/or can connect with. Personally i don't care either way if i don't like a song i ***gasp*** don't listen to it same for an artist. its not selling out on their part its a buisness decision and like it or not music is a buisness these days don't hate someone for trying to make a buck
