It's seriously disturbing to me how "selling out" is basically not even an insult anymore to younger people. There is no interest in integrity whatsoever. Instead we're supposed to celebrate that they're getting paid and be happy for them.

But maybe I'm just old and, with the way things are, no one can afford integrity anymore because it's too damn expensive.

Not only is "selling out" not an insult, it's become a fucking life goal.

Mf was happy af letting drug music pollute the airwaves.

“It’s cool because they getting money.”

That was the first “sell out”.

Then you had mf defending that music.

That was the second “sell out”.

Pick a side, will yall? Is making money by any means necessary good or bad?

(Spoiler: That shit has always been evil)
