A sellout is a person who doesn't act his/herself in order to gain higher ground, or is afraid they will lose something if they don't act a certain way around certain cats.

For example, if I were to not speak my mind in every situation, I would be a sellout, in my own opinion. Somebody who moves out of the hood though, that's just bettering their situation for self and for family, as long as they never forget about where they came from and who their friends are. Wouldn't it be silly if Dre and Snoop still lived in the hood?

Somebody who rocks a shitload of jewelry, that didn't wear jewelry before they got paid, just to look cool.

BASICALLY, if you act out of the ordinary to be accepted by ANYBODY, you're a sellout, period. Even my parents and family members have to accept who I am and what I do, because I'm not here to impress people and I'm not here to limit myself to be accepted. My parents hated the fact that I rap, I've been doing it for 10 years...I always told them I am gonna keep doing it, they finally embraced my choice....

Very good point. I like the way that was put! I see that every day, people trying to be who they are not and acting in a manner to either impress or impose aspects and various figures of that kind of a lifestyle.

This kind of a behavior is common in today's Hip Hop scene. Especially with the arrival of Eminem, a lot of people with little to no experience with urban ghetto areas are now comming out with raps and are trying to rap and act "thug". I mean there is nothing wrong with getting into it, but the reasons and the motivations behind it are what determine if it is an authentic reason or a fad.

If you ask most of these posers why they got into it, chances are the following answers:
Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, etc.

And most of those people wouldn't know anything inbetween the lines of these artists other than what the television and the radio tells them!

So what R U if your White N Puerto Rican N look white like me or your Mexican N White N look white like my nephew? Sure we got white skin, but I was raised in a Mexican barrio N so I side wit the Latino in me, that's my mentality. I'm sure the way my nephew is being raised as wit his sisters they'll probaly think wit a Latino mentality.

I'm white/mexican and I identify white. I, obviously, am a sellout.

when you leave what you knew or were & then never acknowledge the past or when u diss it
I going to respond to this quote, if it was all ready descussed I'm sorry but I just scanned through most of this.

I'm a recovering alcholic. I don't come out and discuss this topic with people. I on countless occasions "diss" this life style and what it does to people. So, if change for the betterment of my family and me is "selling out" you can put me at the top of the list as the biggest sellout ever. Just because I did stupic things when I was younger and don't do them any more I'm a sellout.

Next I saw several rappers names appear in this thread. Most of them would be stupid not to sellout. 50 can't honestly still sale drugs, he has to much to lose. So does this mean by protecting what he has gained by not taking the risk he used to have to take he's a sell out? Is changing for what's best for you and yours selling out, or being a man and doing what has to be done?
