"if i go commercial i'm dead"

once i heard those line(the title of this post) from a music artist. i can call him smart if he figured that out by himself or wise if he hear it from someone else. but who am i to call him that way? P from the hood? what his name again? other artist are into nursery rhymes just to get their dimes. it wasn't a thought of too much pride on oneself but it was a humble act. why would he exchange his passion for money sake? money is bonus.
