Nelly Vs. KRS-1 Battle- Who Won?

[L $ C]

Not here to discuss careers
obviously KRS1>




but in the battle who won who had the better record/ verse? who had the better point? How is history treating this one






The reason I bring up this one is because it was honestly kind of awkward for hip hop at the time, you had a lot of dudes saying nelly washed KRS and it wasnt a good look












Coli how we feeling in 2020

 

[RAW_SPK]

Nelly said KRS needed a rap pension and KRS begged people to boycott Nelly’s album only for that shyt to sell damn near 800,000 first week.

Kris tried it and ended up looking like a hater imo

so nelly was 15 years ahead of swizz beats asking for rappers pensions

 

[Canada Goose]

KRS won just off the beat of "Ova here" alone

"You calling me commercial rap, who did commercials first? Who the one who's drinking Sprite like obeying his thirst?"


whole battle is funny style if we being honest.

mad about a song titled #1 and thinks generic ass lines were directed at him

but the mixtape he dropped during the beef was dope

 

[Formerly known as...]

Nelly

 

[28 Gramz]

Nelly. KRS is overrated

 

[Jean Jacket]

KRS-1 is like that cool sub that lets you write rhymes and freestyle battle during class.

Nelly is like one of the students that has an ill flow.

Both of em aren't the best, and they get respect for different reasons.

Apples and oranges on this comparison.

Tie in my opinion.

Most peoples opinion at the time was that Nelly won.
