Can you blame them? They did the underground thing for so long it was time for them to get rich.

lol I guess. I dont remember them being underground for that long. only them talking about how underground they were and how cool their dancing was.

Define sell out.

Is it a change of style? If so how do you allow for an artist to evolve? The Who couldn't have sold Happy Jack filled albums for half a century.

If as you point out with BEP they have become unoriginal. Is it because they changed or because of their success others started copying their work and the market just all sounds the same?

Artists all change. They get older, they get richer, they get happier, they achieve their dreams, hell its little wonder that their music evolves as well. I think its more naive for us to expect that raw hungry act that was full of passion and new ideas to remain that way after a decade or more in the grist mill.

Saw Eminem's newest video the other day and all I could think was "Damn Marshall, your too old and too talented to still be trying to sell this shtick".

There are still a lot of groups out today that are original with their music. they dont try to conform to the masses and be "pop" artists. They try out different styles of music and they adapt to the times with it.

when it comes to BEP their music was original, they had their own sound. nowadays they have turned that sound into a pop dance sound that now everyone is doing. Yes they made lots of money because of it to feed their families or what not. But when you go from dissing puff daddy about how he is such a phony and a sellout himself and then go ahead and do the same thats when you become a hypocrite.

I think the anti-sellout would be Pearl Jam. They got huge and still stayed as non commercial as possible, even boycotting ticketmaster for a while. Still have not heard any of their stuff on commercials.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
