I've never heard this in my life. Never heard a nelly album or had interest. Nelly on a track with Mobb Deep and missy produced by Alchemist, for almost 20 years i never knew this hahaha. I remember when he dropped 2 albums on the same day, Sweat and Suit, but this is crazy.

Sounds better than most the stuff out right now. Roc The Mic remix with Beanie & Freeway is a classic

Nelly was penning the sing-song melodic rap lane. The same lane Ja Rule was riding on. It was a smart move for him because Nelly brought something different to the table -- midwestern swag. Who else was repping St Louis at the time? Nelly decided his time was now....the rest is history.
Nelly's smart move was creating dancefloor hits like "Hot in Hurrr" for the club. What demographic does this attract? Women they like to dance. Not only that, Nelly also made some cool songs like "Grillz" paying homage to the grill culture; "Air Force Ones" promoting the sneaker brand.
Nelly was lucky to have a diamond released debut. At the time, people would buy an album based on the strength of a single. Not a lot of rappers even singers reach that echelon in music!!!

Nelly was just the second precursor draw to:

It just took such a long time for country grammar on slow burn to metriculation. After the shatter glass ceiling from the search if biggie and pac. Yet Nelly was never endorsed culturally in hiphop in the underground.
Nelly was always a sellout style rapper with no cultural connection.
Evident from his mecca envy.
It is readily discernible listening to just this record alone.
It is why he does not even fit in.
on the sonic palette with mobb deep on this track in question.
Nelly is a hiphouse rnb commercial rapper at best.
Which is and will always be culturally taboo in hiphop culture.
Nelly never ever drew in cultural section with bboys or bgirls. Not even when country grammar was a slow burn release two to three years before it blew up.

If you have issues with differentiating terms.
like hiphop.
or, any verbiage.
Used to counter and describe related terms like:
culture thief
sellout rap.
Ask some questions.
to find that which.
you obviously and apparently lack.

Never heard this before,people dont understand how crazy prime T.I was
He lost a little something when his flow lost that drag. Not sure how to describe it.
This song trash imo. Ride Wit Me is his best song I would say,outside of his debu single Country Grammar. I say this having not listened to 90% of Nellys catalogue
