Why did Nelly fall off so hard?

[O.T.I.S.]

The album tip drill was on went platinum and so did sweat and suit. Tip drill ain't stop shyt.

Whats up with these nikkas assuming Tip Drill was his downfall

there was some special on BET called hip hop vs the world or some shyt, and one of the segments was black intellectuals and feminists shytting on Nelly and the song and video. At one point Michael Eric Dyson compared sliding a credit card down that girl’s ass to a slave auction.

Yeah I remembered that but nobody under 30 gave a fukk about what them old hors was saying...

He probably chilled after that but that shyt was epic for the time. Them hoes got paid to do what they like doing and thats shaking ass and using their bodies for quick cash

BET clearly didn’t cuz the video was still in rotation on Uncut. But I think that special is really the only negative coverage Nelly ever got and is probably why Tip Drill is associated with the fall off.

He didn't fall off. His audience just grew up. His songs still play on the grown folk stations and get used in commercials. he'll probably start doing "old school" tours soon too.

He had one of biggest runs in hip-hop. The game changed thats all.

Celine dion is irreverent to mainstream pop music and has been for decades

just cause you get money for performing your classics doesn’t mean you have longevity.

Soulja boy can still perform

This don't even make sense. The fukk do you think "longevity" even IS then?? If you can still successfully tour and make money off your classics then how can you have "fallen off"? That's like the most basic definition of longevity.

Nelly's lane was still relevant after he stopped putting out hits. Flo Rida filled the void left by Nelly in the late 2000s

You have to change your flow to whatever is hot to stay hot. If dancehall is hot you go there, if its trap music you go there,etcThats what Jay,Drake,madonna, beyonce etc all do to stay hot. He changed his flow to whatever he wanted though instead, like many artists do after theyve made a lot of money and it didnt really work out financially but he didnt really seem to care too much which is cool I think.

He out there making country music now and shit. damn shame but I guess most rappers don't have a run like him.

 

[gho3st]

He shytted on his writers . Thats the jist of it

 

[3rdWorld]

My favorite Nelly track..

Nelly was corny as f*ck from the jump. He's lucky his fame lasted as long as it did.

He took some time off after his sister passed away from cancer. Flo Rida came in and took over his trap.
