Nelly says his Era of rap was the toughest : “When I put out songs, I Had To go Against DMX, JAY-Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Luda."

All of those people peaked at different times though.

Like by the time Wayne became a superstar you were basically done with commercial relevance
kinda making his point... Country grammar came out in '00, he came in STRONG (II)

But with so much competition, he eventually faded away after his lil run. I wholeheartedly believe if the early 00s wasn't so stacked his run would've been longer.




this random AF but what ever happened to Fetty Wap?? Dude came in and had the charts on SMASH for like a year. That year where half his album was on the radio was crazy. He literally fell off right after that one year run though. And this was well before he got caught up in that shyt so we can't blame his fall off on that. shyt crazy

Really? He was HUGE but that's why I compared him to Fetty Wap. Nelly was way bigger obviously :dame: , I'm just taking about huge impact compared to lack of longevity. Nelly debuted in '00, we was done with him after Nellyville ('02). How are you a fan of rap but need simple shyt explained to you

you're short changing him, Sweat/Suit still did numbers (not CG/Nellyville numbers, but still successful). so he had about a 4 year run

No comparison. Fetty would poke out his good eye for a Nelly run

Man I'm for the culture, that was white people buying that shyt. Can you name 2 songs from either of those shyts? Knock it off.

If you have white fans they'll prop you up for another album or two because they're late to everything but once WE stop fukkin wit something they eventually realize it's not cool anymore and move on as well.


Arguing in favor of the album that contained "Flap Your Wings" as the hit single is nasty work.

There is certainly a comparison, but this is funny :pachaha:
