If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is not necessarily a form of "selling out" to choose a path that allows one's work to reach a wider audience. It implies that if given the option between creating something amazing but receiving no recognition, and creating something equally amazing but taking steps to ensure its exposure, the latter option is not compromising one's artistic integrity. It suggests that gaining visibility for one's work can be seen as a strategic move rather than a betrayal of one's artistic principles.
