Nelly’s Low-Turnout College Concert Goes Viral As Video Spreads

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Nelly didn’t emphasize his status with the newer generations like 50 and them did. He kinds just chilled and did his thing. Luda was the same way which is why you don’t hear about him too much either except fast and the furious. Will Smith got diamond plaques and kids don’t know he was even a rapper.

What an L for Nelly’s team.

I have a soon to be college freshman and she has no idea who Nelly is. She knows certain SONGS but she wouldn’t care to see them performed live.

I went to a legal conference a few years back and Nelly was our corporate entertainment and the club was packed. We were lawyers in our 40s and 50s we listened to Nelly in college and law school.

Luda music aged wayyyy better than Nelly.

Luda still gets play at cookouts and shyt, nobody bumpin E.I. or country grammar in 2024

50 came out 4-5 years after Nelly.

You mean 2-3 years

And that’s just popularity wise, in terms of “coming out” (pause) they both hit the scene on a commercial level in like 99-2000.

Are we sure that wasn't just rehearsal???... holy shyt. That's a fall off for yo azz. But then again I wasn't trying to see Chubby Checker in 1996 at age 18 soo

Chubby Checker bruh come the fukk on rep

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Those aren't his fans.

Well judging by that video he doesnt have any

Eh, he still got paid.

Not sure why the student government would get someone whose prime was before most of the students were born.

 

[rabbid]

Eh thats a decent lil crowd for gainesville.. the school hoed him with that big ass auditiorium. Should moved it outside once they peeped the turnout

 

[Metal Face]

Why is he doing Colleges???

18-22 yr olds not bumpin Nelly

 

[Sauce and Footwork]

College kids not listening to Nelly, but he got a huge fan base, stretching across genres.. so he the wrong artist to poke fun of for this

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Usually he sells out arenas with Ashanti,Ja Rule, Monica etc with the old school reunion type tours

 

[En Sabah Nur]

Admirable job by the student government to show love to an artist that was popping before they were all born, but even I would have told them kids their classmates ain't coming out to see this nikka

 

[bigde09]

Yeah was once moving units with Em and Jay but tbf this wasn't his crowd. Can't expect 18 yr olds to know much about him.

Jay was never on their level

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Might’ve worked better at an HBCU
