Naw he styled on kris' lame ass tactics. I was glad Nelly did that.
That shyt he actually said wasn't fire though. I do agree KRS was reaching but Nelly's actual diss was ass. Only reason it gets props is because he was popular and the shock factor

KRS One was not relevant anymore(sorry) and Nelly was one of the hottest artists in the country at the time. Only one way for that to go.
It happened again last year.
Joe budden lyrically beat the hell out of Drake. No one cared.
Rise of the south was done by MTV2 IMO.
They literally force fed the nation videos of mike jones,lil jon,david banner,paul wall, etc 24 hours a day. Eventually the market shifted.

Yeah, 2002 was when fukkery was bubbling up and had people like Nelly thinking that he had everything in his image. The rise of the south was done by many forces who wanted the Hip Hop culture to be dumbed down.

Nelly won off popularity ala drake vs meek mill. Meek had the better diss but drake had the machine. Krs had the better diss though average for his standards but nelly had the machine backing him for 90 days and then 50 showed up.
