nelly wasnt as much of a a pop rapper as youre painting him. he wasnt on the same tip as say a black eyed peas, flo-rida or pitbull. especially back when this beef was going on and the only albums he had out were country grammar(which was pretty hood) & the lunatics jawn.
he had more black fans than white. most of them may not have been hip-hop heads but they were definitely black.
or at the very least, his base was an equal distribution of races. he was an everybody rapper. he had a fanbase within every racial & social background. but i'd still say its majority black.
my grandmom copped nellyville breh.
i always wondered who he was talking about on #1, and i found it weird how he referenced BDP on the hook even tho KRS most-likely didnt f*ck wit em.
then the "roc da mic" remix drops a few months later and im like "dam, he mustve dissed krs on the #1" joint.
We not gonna be able to really prove it without the numbers, but Nelly's majority fan base was white not black, though he had some black fans, that was not here core demographic at all...
...you gotta give Nelly props for even responding to that nikka and not going the "You not relevant enough no more" route....KRS dissed Shan for no reason too,lets not act like he doesn't have a history of reaching like a mafuka in order to make diss records....might be more of a ego thing than trying to get hot....I believe he probably actually believes Nelly was talking about him on #1.
?Funny he felt like Cube was dissing him multiple times back in the day,but never made time to finish that Ice Cube diss record he started
