you basically lose some integrity. According to you, a country artist can make a rap album. An alternative rock band can make an opera record. Nicki is made starships for the sole purpose of getting money. Thats where the sell out part comes into play because starships and songs like starships is what gets her doing cameo's with Madona and exands her fan base to 13 year old white chicks. You end up alienating one fan base to cater to another and in the end you will eventually lose both.
They can do all of that. They can do whatever the hell they want with their music. If Jay-Z feels like he wants to make a metal album then I say go ahead. Is it going to be a good look for them 90%? Hell no. Most of the time it is going to be horrible, but if they want to go and head into the studio and churn out some hot garbage they should have the ability to do that. Doesn't mean I'm going to listen to it tho.
