Probably not because I don't want my life revolving just around music.. I got other shit to do.

I'm not sure exactly what your talkin bout because I'm not that familiar with labels yet. But I'm sure I wouldn't give them control of my music. If they like me as a solo artist then they better have signed me because of what I can do as a solo artist cuz I do everything myself. They can mix and make my beats and hook me up with cats to collab with. But thats it, you can't change my style.

Bitch you stole my avy, *jumps you*

and OF course not. Money isnt that damn important. If people really use music as expression then this isnt even an option. If you WILL sellout then quit right now cause you piss me off.

Nah, main reason cuz I wouldn't last anyway. I hate having my creativity suffocated, and if I willingly did it, ya. It just wouldn't happen.

Ok......basically, I'd be a selling out, coffe fetching, shoe shining, ass kissing mutha fucka. If someone was waving all kinds of money in my face to do some shit that was as easy as just rapping what they want you to rap, well then I'd think you would be stupid if you didn't say FUCK YEAH

If you are motivated by money, then ya it would be dumb. If you actually care about the people you influence, well then it would be stupid to do it.

It all depends on why you rap.

So......would you sell out?

I am able to take advice...

But I'm not an idiot.. If they wanted me to do shit that would make me look like a little fagget pop artist... Then no..

If they just wanted me to change my attitude towards one or two small things with my music... I'd prolly have no problem with it...

i dont even see why people call it selling out.
fuck the bull shit
Money is money im a go getta and imma get money if i can.
if anybody feels im selling out they can kiss my rich sell out ass.
underground cats making money off rapping..look at all the mixtapes.. so fuck it.
all you need to do is before u get in the game wise up on the principles of percentages and what nots of what your sposed to get paid.dont settle just for any record label that will take you. get to know them first and if they let you do you and make bread..then go for it.

speak for your self. money dosne't mean the world to me so it ain't likely you'll see me sign up to be someone elses bitch-boy the rest of my life.

besides that, I rather have someoen call me on the horn like "yo is this apexx? Yo I wanted to let oyu know that your song XXXX really moved me man and changed my life" like on my last album vs. some dumb airhead groupies in the street going "OMG apexx, your 418121th club song like...totally rocks!!"

maybe it's just me :shrug:. oh well. luckily, that's the only person I'm speaking for.
