I've never been much of a Nelly fan. I mean, I dug "Hot In Herre" and a few other joints, but for the most part his music never moved me.
Jackpot and Nelly
I initially thought Nelly would fade after his first LP, Country Grammar. Little do you know, the man has been in the game for 7 years. Interestingly, people are now doubting Pimp Juice just like I did a few years back. His new single, "Whatsyaname" isn't picking up steam and heads are saying his sing-song style is getting old.
Nelly obviously doesn't agree. "I always switch it up," he asserted before dismissing reports that his new single is getting mixed reviews. Watch him break it down.

I don't like the song, but he has a point. You remember "drop down and get your eagle on"? That song was worse than the current single and that album sold millions.
I just became a Nelly fan b/c he keep it real. He know dudes ain't checking for him, but he still doing numbers.

The single isn't bad or good in my opinion. But the thing is nobody is talking about it. There is no buzz for his joint. It'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers Nelly does.

nelly is a reall artist that don't try to be what he is not but the first album i heard when i was locked up..crountry grammer and i liked it but there where some singles i felt was cool...but the man is a legend for tip drill..that video(well to all those who are freaks and love the female body)
I respect him for doing him that is half way to makin me buy an album but it has to be good music for me to buy it. shit now i think about it his shit is lolipop rap..the joints he makes for the ladies are for strippers to me.

Dude put out two albums on the same day...He competed with himself (Kanye and 50 competed against each other)...still w/ plat on both albums. I agree that eagle song wasnt hitting on to much and he still did numbers so...

Hey dumbass, how is St. Louis not part of the Midwest? Missouri is dead in the middle of the country! That's silly, that's like saying Kansas is part of the Midwest, but somehow you skip Missouri and state that their neighbor to the east is somehow a southern state. Get the hell out of here. I've been to the south, and cats will be the first ones to let you know that St. Louis is part of the Midwest.

Hey Recka, you and Pimp C need a geography lesson! Are you going to claim that Atlanta, Miami, Richmond, and Charlotte are not part of the south because the states those cities are located on are located the east coast?

Recka you have to remember Nelly didn't always live in da Lou. but those who are not from here or the south will tell that our dialect is a lil country. plus most of us are raised by country parents. Hence the country grammar. much love to Cleveland though. STL stand up!!!!

Missouri is in the Midwest, but Nelly style is more of south shit, it's not how we get down in the Midwest. that's why we, in the midwest we don't consider Nelly or Missouri the midwest.

Nelly is a real artist. He doesn't follow the crowd & he moves units. All he does is rap the way he's been blessed to like. What people don't understand is that not even 50 cent has out sold him. Read my Double up blog @ www.myspace.com/tongadude & let me know what you think. Peace
