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.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
