There's a difference between selling out and becoming a superstar. He didn't change his music in order to become big. He just started getting more diverse. If he was a sellout he wouldn't have dropped an experimental album after the smash hit Carter III
He sold out lol. Lollipop proves that.
Dont get me wrong, CIII was fucking epic and my favorite era of Weezy, but it was his point of selling out. He went commercial should I say.
Then going to jail made everything fall to shit, until S4TW2 dropped. He going back to his roots instead of trying to progress past a point that can't be furthered. He's done it all, he just needs to stick to his roots or retire tbh.

i dont think he sold out tbh. Wayne always had radio tracks. Go DJ, Fireman. I mean the whole point of music in the late 90s with Juvie and co was to make money and get hit records and go platinum. It's not possible for Wayne to sell out, he was never underground and he never claimed he valued artistic integrity over making money.
If anything, it was How To Love. That song sticks out of his catalogue as a completely random, unnatural track. straight radio fodder. but its not a sell out because how can he sell out? If Coldplay can't sell out neither can Wayne

What? Wayne definitely sold out in some way. C3 and after is nothing like his earlier work. Just because he made money prior to C3 doesn't mean he ain't totally take a turn upon realizing he could.
C2 to C3 is a big change.
And I'm not shitting on him for the choices he's made, because he's still managed to remain skilled with it, but The Leak vs C3 is evident. Hell, I believe C3 was leaking on purpose because it wasn't commercial enough for Birdman. Once The Only Reason flopped despite how hot Wayne was, they took a different route and never looked back. I'm sure Wayne enjoyed the ride, but iont think it was what he wanted completely. Having to dumb his lyrics down the way he did gradually hurt him.
