I think everyone needs to be on the same page as to what they mean by the term "sell-out."
To me, selling out is a producer being paid massive amounts of money and either not putting their all into their craft or creating music for other people's liking but not their own. They eventually forget where they came from and release sub-par music. They simply live off their name for the money. This usually happens with one-hit wonders in order to keep making money or with prepackaged commercial garbage like Britney and J-Lo. Positive K is a sellout. Tone Loc is a sellout.
Is BT sellout? Not to me. To me, he's producing music he wants to produce. Although not only has he produced tracks for NSYNC, he also produced tracks for Britney Spears (You take out the vocals, they're not bad at all). But BT releasing his own album shows that he is making music he WANTS to create. It doesn't make him a sellout if he has access to some of the best vocalists in the world or if he feels the vocals of a commercial artist are what best fits into a track he made.
