Nelly won album of the year award at the source

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Hip hop duo OutKast and newcomer Nelly bested some of the top rap artists in the industry at the Source Hip-Hop Music Awards on Monday night.

OutKast snagged best artist of the year by a group and best live performer of the year, while Nelly took home best new artist of the year and best album for his CD ``Country Grammar.''

``Hopefully I can keep doing what I am doing and people will keep accepting me for what I'm doing because that's just me,'' said Nelly, whose album also was nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Eminem (news - web sites) won video of the year for ``Stan,'' a song about a demented fan driven over the edge by his hero's lack of response. He performed the song ``Purple Hills'' with his group D-12.

Rapper Ja Rule, who collected the single of the year award for ``Put It On Me,'' which featured artist Lil' Mo, called the Source honors ``the award'' for rappers.

``This is our culture, our music, our peers,'' he said.

The Neptunes won the producer of the year and R&B artist of the year went to R. Kelly, known for a remix of his hit song ``Fiesta,'' featuring artist Jay-Z.

Rapper Scarface defeated Eminem, Jay-Z and Prodigy for lyricist of the year.

``This is bigger than I can imagine,'' said Scarface.

OutKast - Andre 3000 and Big Boi - are known for their hits ``Ms. Jackson'' and their Grammy-nominated ``Rosa Parks.'' Their latest album, the multi-platinum ``Stankonia,'' is their biggest one to date.

LL Cool J, a longtime rap artist, producer and actor, received a Lifetime Achievement award and The Hip-Hop Image Award was presented to hip-hop mogul Master P.

Of the evening's performances, the live goat, cow and chickens brought on stage by Nelly and the St. Lunatics, who performed ``Midwest Swing'', was one of the most colorful.

Thousands of hip-hop fans joined the genre's top artists for the third annual awards show at the Jackie Gleason Theater. Some artists - including the redhead Eve and Ludacris - ran out to greet the stargazers.

This is the first year that the awards, put on by The Source Magazine, were held in Miami.

Fights broke out during last year's show, held in Pasadena, Calif. It was canceled after only three performances and a handful of awards were announced because of fights in the audience.

This year's award show will air on UPN on Aug. 28.

I know I'm gay, and I love when my dad fucks my ass with no vasaline, but why should Reflection Eternal win album of the year when it hasnt sold 1/10 of Nelly's album.  Thats like saying "Well..even though this album is really popular and everybody loves it--lets give the award to some no namers that no body cares about JUST because im in the minority and happen to like their album".  Thats what I thought, *owwe, Dad get your cock out my eye*.  Do us all a favor and ban me, cowboy.

Shut the fuck up, Cock Eyed Fellow.  Why should Reflection Eternal win album of the year when it hasnt sold 1/10 of Nelly's album.  Thats like saying "Well..even though this album is really popular and everybody loves it--lets give the award to some no namers that no body cares about JUST because im in the minority and happen to like their album".  Thats what I thought, Cock-Eye.  Do us all a favor and stop postin, cowboy.

What.....son, who the fuck do you think you are to come at me like that.  I can't stand teenybopper fans like this dude who doesn't know shit about hip hop and thinks that someone should get an award for selling the most records.  Bitch,  Nelly is wack and it's rediculous for him to get the award.  I can name loads of artist who had better albums then this kid. Outkast's album was alot better then his however Nelly's sold more so he gets a damn award.  Reflection Eternal was a great album and is mad slept on by many hip hop fans because it's underground.

Oh yeah bitch, who the fuck you callin cock eye. You can suck my dick son. Your probably some damn nerd who sits at home on the computer all day fuckin wit people. Bitch.........

And I'm gay.

[Murrow]

The Neptunes piis me off cause they get awarded for being the best producers of 2001 when they ain't REAL producers.  All they do is back a shit load of beats that are all very similar and just let who ever spit over their beats.  They don't even work with artists like real producers do.  They're bullshit.

[Sikotic™]

I didn't read the spoiler but Nelly winning best album didn't surprise me. Just shows ya how far a ghetto ass album can take you.

And you're probably some nerd that allows somebody on the computer to get in your head.  

I thought your bitch-ass was banned from this board before, but you had to come back somewhere, ebcause you were banned from the West Coast Affiliatez board for being a jackass, and it'll be a matter of time before you'll be banned here once again.

That is probably the most ignorant thing I've ever heard someone say.  Who gives a shit about record sales.  If awards were determined by record sales, it would have been impossible for The Roots to win the grammy a year ago, which they rightfully deserved to win.  Nelly's album was garbage.  Any hip-hop fan (Mr. Bitch-ass, this is what you claim) can tell you this, and about Nelly's fan base, as Canibus said about LL Cool J

99% of your fans wear high heels

Listen, you claim to be a real hip-hop fan, but Nelly is pop and his shitty ass album proves that.

You keep up this negative energy, profanity, and off subject posts and youll be gone soon, Paco.

Explain to me how the fuck you can control what the fuck I say and do without being a moderator, fucking cock-eyed bitch.
