Probably a lack of effort on his part, combined with not finding a niche and subsequently receiving less promotion from his label. Plus, I'm sure he's been pretty wealthy after the first half of this decade's string of hits and guest features, so he doesn't really need to stay cranking out #1 singles all the time to get by.Maybe Pimp Juice was selling well enough at one point and he was able to sell his shares at a high enough price to retire.
It's funny... Sometimes I read on this msg board that Nelly has some classics on his belt (which I agree with), but at the time when he was popular, he was the most critisized artist out there.

Personally, I didn't like Nelly at all at the height of his popularity in the late 90's and early 2000's. I still don't fuck with songs like Hot in Here, but shit like Country Grammar, Ride With Me, etc sound pretty dope these days. I think it's really a matter of perspective. I feel the same way about Ja Rule and some other dudes that were poppin back then, wasn't a fan at the time but compared to the shit on the radio these days it's pretty good. I think there's also a big sense of nostalgia with some tracks for that era.
