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

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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
