Arrogance.

Nelly was my first 'favorite rapper' 
Dude went diamond off of his first album, the album had ZERO features (Lil Wayne in 99 had some heat but let's be real) and like OP said he blew up almost overnight.

and the St. Lunatic album was pretty decent too considering they only had 2 decent rappers, a bunch of weed carriers, and a mascot in a half mask.
@ this sh!t becoming a worldwide hit record, this n!gga was g'd the f*ck up on that h0e

Wasn't a Nelly fan, but yeah- you don't see shyt like that everyday.
He was one of a long list of niqqas just randomly coming out on Universal in 2000. Yeah it's a major, but the Universal label itself didn't give a shyt. They were just tossin' rappers out one by one with no big setup or promo machine. Nelly wasn't on anyone's remix or album, affiliated with no major artist, just came out with a song people liked and the shyt blew up. Used to happen back in the day, but not in 2000. You didn't have rappers just poppin' up, known nowhere but their hometown, and sellin' multi-platinum 6 months later. Yeah, prob. won't see that happen again.

His fall off was just as epic because he went from putting out two albums at once that both sold platinum to flopping. Immediately. No gradual decline like 50 or Luda, he just fell off a cliff.
I know that break didn't help him any but I actually thought people would be happy that Nelly was back.

It was gradual. Just high level. He went down with each album. It also didn't help that he dropped Brass Knuckles 4 years after Suit/Sweat & didn't have a record on there as good as "Over & Over" and "My Place". That plus him not being the new nikka anymore was what happened.
Country Grammar - 10x plat
Nellyville - 6x plat
Suit - 3x plat (released same time)
Sweat - plat (released same time)
Brass Knuckles - gold
