Nelly Blowing Up In 2000 Is One Of The Greatest Stories In The History Of Rap

[Killagram]

I remember E.I. hitting the clubs hard

Loved Country Grammar but was extremely disappointed with Nellyville

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I actually remember downloading Country Grammar off one of those p2p places when downloading online first got popular, might have even been Napster or audiogalaxy, a good year before the song really took off. I was kind of tripped out to hear it on the radio way after the fact. That was when I first realized I could download a bunch of songs and sell burned mixes in HS.

He grinded real hard with the music and it ended up paying off big time.

Wasnt he good nuff to be a pro baseball player too?

He shoulda tried to do both.

less he got injured.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Cant front Country Grammar is tight..

 

[Notorioushnic]

He received MAJOR backlash from that Tip Drill video and his career wasn't the same since

 

[Harry Sax]

what the fukk was EI anyway...that cutlass(i think) he pulled up in wit the st louis ram paint job on it is still

 

[Harry B]

Country Grammar debuted at #3, not #1.

He was on a major too and being promoted as "the guy" from the midwest, so it wasn't really out of "nowhere" either.

Which is even more impressive, since it peaked at #1 months later

fake ass bytches at Spelman.

mad at some bullshyt video that only came on after hours when Atlanta is the strip club capital causing campus-wide commotion about it instead of the bone marrow charity organization he came there to speak about.

 

[YourMajesty]

Country Grammer is a personal classic. That album had bangers.

City Spud was spitting nice on there too...reminded me of Ma$e

 

[Kliq_Souf]

I used to listen to that album all day long...
I still got the disc but its scratched as hell after so much burn...

Murph might have the best verse on there with that Steal the Show

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

if it turns into a hate thread, that says more about the posters than nelly.

how can you be a fan of this here rap game, and not respect what nelly did?

Dude just keept selling...and selling...i couldnt believe how popular he got

I could play that right now and blast BATTER UP or lovin me today like it was the hot new shyt...

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

When nelly just dropped I was hating. I was on the whole "the fukk is this nursery rhyme bullshyt". But on the low when that E.I. song used to come on the radio and nelly said
"I drive fastly, call me Jeff Gord-on
In the black SS with the naviga-tion"

I used to mash the gas on my car and be like
