You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.
"Selling out" has always meant the same thing to whoever sells out "damn. If I just do *this* I can be set for life?"
For people who have no ability to sell out (cause they have no one waving $millions at them) it's easy to say what the "sell out" should do.
But when them $MMs hit the table we'll see what you're made of.
I don't think it's wrong for Chuck to sell per se... But to talk ALLLL that shyt about those who do sell out, it's a weird look.

Just reading this story now.
Well, Chuck put himself in a position where he had the option to sell his catalog. Signed smart deal at the beginning of PE's recording career and created timeless powerful music. Now his family will reap the reward of his talents, as they do something else with the money.
I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't thrown off at first, but it's a smart business move and it had to have been an incredible deal for Chuck to sell so much.
