I'm with you. First time I heard "Far From Yours/My World" I felt like ... |

That interview is burned into my memory |

There's no way that song becomes a hit record in that climate |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 30

Smooth joint that you can play in the whip does NOT = "sell out" |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 31
|
I've heard the sellout sentiment before with that song, but I don't get ... |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 32
|
No adult who loves hip-hop thinks that is "selling out." |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 35
|
It's hit potential or lack thereof doesn't change its intent though. |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 33

Lulz. Broadening the appeal = "Selling out?" Only in the Lesson. |
|
Nov 16th 2014 | 34
|
at the time that was the formula, some were hit or miss |
|
Nov 17th 2014 | 43
|
going hard for daytime HOT 97 spins WAS considered "sell out".... |
|
Nov 17th 2014 | 44
|
Making a joint w/more commercial appeal =/= "selling out" |

People really don't know what sell-out means huh |

It's very similar to Tribe's "Stressed out," same time period too |
|
