that's the thing...i think artists can expand their brand organically. hip hop is a global entity now. it's just the fact that we seek approval outside of our own communities and networks to brand and build, often selling ourselves short is really what makes someone considered a "sell out"
building a brand isn't the problem....it's cheapening it too early. if artists never learn the infrastructure of how a brand is built and just sell out to whitey, how will they ever be true bosses or executives? they just outsource the work to the giant machine. then they just record, tour, post videos...you know...the nikka shyt. while they never care to peak into the innerworkings of how things spread on a global level. they just want the affiliation and approval so bad, rather than doing what it takes to peek behind the curtain. they'd rather name drop their sponsors than crack the code.
