Title: Why i respect Nelly........hear me out!
Post by: teecee on September 09, 2003, 07:09:12 PM
First of all, i dont even like Nelly at all, and i do NOT like his music, aside from one song (Ride With Me).....so, do not think i am some teeny bopper Nelly and Ja fan.

But, consider this:  Nelly came into the game BY HIMSELF, no help from the Neptunes or Dre or any of the other usual suspects.  I mean, it was just him and his boys from St Louis.  He had a unique (although wack) style and he blew up with it and he deserves props for what he did with his first album- he made himself a star without big time production or guest appearances......

Sure Nelly has Neptunes and Kelly rowland on his last album, but i still give im props for coming in the way he did and blowing up like he did.  U think 50 woulda blown up without Dre and Em, or Em without Dre, etc.  So, PROPS TO NELLY.........now, if he would only quit the game and disappear!

I have to agree, I don't like his music but he didn't just get on because of affiliation. Now, move this to Outbound Conenctions unless St Louis was moved to the West Coast overnight

I have no problem with Nelly.  I really could care less if he continues to have hit singles and sell millions of albums.

Good timing, and the right topic..

Btw, Eminem saved Dre's career by producing "My name is" for Dr.Dre right.. ??

True. His songs ain't bad in general anyway. But you don't wanna listen a whole Nelly album cause it all sounds the same.

I respect Nelly because he's not fake.  He really is a talentless pot head, and that's exactly what he portrays in his music.  Why hate?  Hell, to each his own.

This, btw, is the same reason I respect Britney Spears.  She's exactly what she acts like.  I don't like her music, or pretty much anything about her, but she's being her.  

Can we really say that about Dr. Dre?  I'm not saying anything.  Just saying it's something to think about.  If Dre's really a family man, like he says in interviews, why does he rap about cars and fucking prostitutes?  I'm confused.

he used to be a gangsta rapper but he changed up his style so he would have more mainstream apeal.

i dont have respect for that

When?

Post by: Last Dragon on September 11, 2003, 12:35:11 PM
IF you listen to his album, he slips in street shit here and there.  It's very, very,...very sporadic.  His crew, The St. Lunatics, are moreso guys that do talk some street tales.  They might change uo even more to try to match Nelly's success.

i don't call somebody a gangster rapper just because of 1 song ::)

Post by: KVB on September 13, 2003, 12:19:29 PM
Yeah I respect him too. I don't like him, and I think his music is wack (bar a few songs), it doesn't appeal to me at all. BUT, I see no reason to hate on him either. If Nellyville sold over 5 million copies somebody must really like him, so who am I to judge. No matter how talentless he may be, his story deserves respect.

Post by: Jimmy Cash on September 13, 2003, 03:44:54 PM
i saw his drivin and he used to be a gangsta rapper untill he met ali who had a diffrent style that would sell better
and country grammer is a classic imo
