You are right in one aspect though...he broke in to the mainstream with that...but he is exactly like MC Hammer...who happens to be a sellout.
There are folks like Nelly who get all this radio play in the clubs and whatnot, and there are folks who want to come up the right way and build a fanbase before they just go after money.
the track is screaming saying am produced by rockwilder lolhe never changes style
*Slaps forehead*Check Nelly's Background. You think he came into this game paying off DJ's? When he was broke as a muthafucka 6-7 years ago, I highly doubt he could afford to pay anyone off. Dude sold like 10,000 indi units man! THEN and ONLY THEN did he get picked up by Universal.
Quote from: SGV on May 09, 2005, 07:01:02 PMIn what way did Nelly sell out? He came up the respectable way. He sold huge units independently and Universal came and signed him. His first album was mainly old material that he had released Independently. So, exactly, how did he sell out?Can you elaborate more/as much as possible please? I'm always interested in hearing how people came up.

That's exactly what i said in the beginning. I liked him in the beginning for blowing up doing his own thing. But then instead of saying I'm gonna keep continue doing my own thing he tried to reach for the biggest audience possible(selling out)by making collaborations with the biggest boy band Nsync. Did Dre did that when the Chronic blew up?? No. Did Too $hort did that?? No.
Dre produced "Rich Girl" for Gwen Stefani...
M.O.P. worked with LFO.
