    Not that I really care about him "selling out" but that sounds like a bad excuse to me.

      The term "selling out" is the most ridiculous "insult" to throw at an artist.

        It is but it's funny to see this with Macklemore because he has a song on his new album where he says "I'd rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting ****ed" and is all about not compromising to get on a big label but he lets the nba twist his lyrics around and change the meaning of the song.

            Honestly I'm surprised him, or any artist really, would feel the need to explain why they let a corporation use their material.

            I feel like the artists that talk about not selling out are only saying it to sound good for their grassroots fans until their fanbase starts growing enough where they get exposure and clout to plug their stuff in mainstream things.

              He should be apologizing to all the innocent people that were exposed to his music during all star weekend.

                Do you guys think other genres you indulge in influence what rap artists you enjoy.

                If so what other genres of music do you guys listen to and what rap artists do you currently have in rotation?

                Ex: I listen to rock, acoustic blues, classical, country, pop/rock, reggae, r&b, soul and alternative. I also listen to film scores when reading.

                Artist I'm currently listening to

                J Cole
                Kid cudi
                Lupe
                Macklemore
                Slaughterhouse
                Logic
                Emilio Rujos
                Kendrick Lamar
                Andre 3k
                Chris Webby
                Tpain (his Rapper turnt Sanga mixtape, none of his stuff after epiphany)
                Psn: Plex-07

                  Doom/sludge/desert rock(using a more TOS friendly term there) is the other biggest genre I listen to and most of the rap music I listen to has similar lo-fi grimy and dark sound. Aka the boom bap era if I have to narrow it down. There are exceptions of course.

                  Not many current artists are in my steady rotation Guilty Simpson and Action Bronson are probably the tops of "current" newer artists that I spin

                          10 years ago, if I had to predict which member of Three 6(or 3 6 for you original fans)Mafia would still be around in 2013 I would've said Project Pat.

                            My favorite non rap stuff is Bruce Springsteen, fun., Foster the People, Mumford and Sons, and Taylor Swift (yeah I know don't say anything)
                            My favorite rappers are (in order)
                            Childish Gambino
                            Kanye West
                            Eminem
                            A$AP Rocky

                            So there really isn't that by of an influence IMO. I started liking Gambino because I knew him from his TV show
                            Buffalo Bills
                            Buffalo Sabres
