Hip Hop is not selling out at all. Sure they have some of the flashished shit that you have even seen but hey, look past that to the rhymes. There are some rappers out there that suck, Nelly and 50 Cent, yes 50. Listen to their CD's, they sing and not rap like they are made out to be. Eminem on the other hand cannot sing worth shit and raps in his records, meaning it is easy to flow on. Rappers are selling out but there rhymes have yet to be sold out, we need a couple more years for that to take effect.
