lets be serious. Dude was a boss for about 5 yrs. BOSS. not just a regular artist, I'm talking about selling 3 mill on average. And he was dope(YES actually Nelly was dope) Dude was damn near the king of the hook. Even got a chance to put his homies on and everything. show my boy some love.

Nelly was dope, but he wasn't the king of the hook. That crown belonged to Nate dogg

I liked Nelly. That's nursery rhyme rap era was good times.

It's funny because compared to this era Nelly might as well have been Rakim with the lyrics.

 

[Killer Instinct]

how can you hate on this

Country Grammar as a whole was a classic. Nelly was on a ridiculous run during the early 00's.

How can people front on Nelly and then turn around and big up Future,Rich Homie Quan, Chief Keef, Max B, French Montana, and the rest of these trash ass rappers in the same breath?

 

[Rawtid]

Well... i guess in the long run it was a good thing...

Lets not front like he's not caking from these damn honey nut cheerio commercials.

I liked Nelly and the St. Lunatics. They were what they were, in their lane. Need not be anymore or less than that. Not great rappers but it was entertaining. I don't think he's over or under-rated.

I don't like any of those clowns either...that's one of the reasons I quit DJing live...can't play that garbage and being from ATL, that's all everyone wants to hear are the local hits

This times 1000x and he wasn't a bad rapper anyway. Plus with his sing-songy delivery he was never going to be NAS or a very technical rapper either. Dude was dope with his own style.

he's a much better lyricist than damn 95% of these wack ass rappers out right now.

 

[Killer Instinct]

That collaboration he did with Kelly Rowland went strong for over a year. Had all the girls in 7th grade dropping notes in lockers daily.

 

[Reverend Jesse Jackson]

Lets not act like Nelly didn't win the battle against




Like K - "Know" one here even said your name
R - You really feelin guilty bout somethin mayn
S - Sad to see you really just want just
One - more hit please please!
You the first old man should get a rapper's pension
No hits since the cordless mic invention

 

[Invisible Man]

Is this really a thread?

 

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

Him and chingy were some good staples of the mid 2000s

Sweatsuit was a good album

Speaking of short runs, Mase's run was
