A sellout is someone who has discarded his or her original principles, in turn for Money and Fame, most sellouts only care about themselves.

One who absconds their heart and soul just to get cold hard cash, only to end up lower and even more poor than before when they blow it all on useless stuff and hookers.
Tyson...the fool blew about $2 million on pet tigers when he could have paid for someone's college education.

MetallicA never sold out, Cliff Burton and James Hetfeild said " We do what we want to do if people consider that selling out than what ever, 'cause alot of people think you sold out because your on a major label, or you don't play a thousand miles per hour, you know we'd be doing the same thing on a indapendent label." see they aren't sell outs R.I.P.
