This explains why you don't understand the Nelly and Drake comparison. You were around six years old when Country Grammar came out and around eight when Nellyville came out. You have no idea the hype, love or comparisons Nelly was getting at that time.
I'm guessing the average age of this thread is 17-19. It would explain a lot![]()
No blood i'm 25 and i was VERY in tune when nelly came out you are just rewriting history and trying to boast your age as the reason.
when Nelly came out he was hot... Hot on 106th and park, hot on urban radio, Sold a bunch of records and had hits, put out good vibing music.
NEVER was he in contention of being named the best rappers, Never were nelly verses a topic of discussion on impact, nobody was asking u heard that new Nelly verse?. The greats in hiphop weren't proclaiming him to be one of the torch bearers and somebody who can change the sound and direction of rap music. When those source magazines and XXL's were out nelly wasn't getting praised as being one of the best out.
Nelly was basically what B.O.B is now on a MUCH LARGER scale. Yea people ain't consider him completely crossover and he had decent hit songs, but nobody was looking to him as one of the best in any capacity.
