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

[Sonic Boom of the South]

What college kid wanna see an act that was hot before they was born?

 

[King Sun]

its funny the nelly apologist are saying its an age thing its just that Nelly moved on from "black music" in his career and never looked back. Most of his hardcore fans are going to be white gen x women and their offspring.

And he still got paid so Nelly is good

Makes no sense for a college to book Nelly who debuted before any of them were born

2 things can be true.

what happens when your music isn't timeless

He was..

Cacs were buying his CDs on release date

what happens when your music isn't timeless

he got hits

 

[M4T]

Nelly stills streams 19 million monthly on spotify, people are still playing his music. Ludacris streams are only at 6 million monthly.

Yeah he streams more than most new rappers, even his latest single is sitting at 244 million streams from 2021 , that's quite impressive when he came out 20 years ago. Ride with me , dilemma, and hot in here are Michael Jackson status songs. You could play those song for any age crowd and everyone knows them. 50, Em, Nelly and Outkast are in a lane of their own. They have real number one songs that stayed number one for almost the whole year,not these manufactured hits or force fed tik tok dance number ones

 

[Mac Ten]

Yep that would've been his best bet. He had to know that his career was a fleeting thing because hip hop didn't really like that "big poppy" thing he was doing at the time and he wasn't an MC like that. But he sold tons of albums I hope he at least still got long bread. He should be in Snoop or 50 territory as far as just a personality cause the whites loved them and they both made a splash when they first came out. But the whites still need to know if the blacks fukk with you like that, which we still do for Snoop and 50. If not then hello MC Hammer status.

Nelly nvr c00ned on TV, always stayed true to himself

Exactly what I came to say.

This is where the value of classic music comes into play.

Nelly’s music aged like shyt. It’s not timeless music that can be passed down to generations.

the dualities

 

[Who Not How]

Nelly is a hit maker but we don't know much about him outside of that and being with Ashanti.

He has no story and without a story, you can't become a beloved celebrity who has fans for life.

Plus Black women soured on him when that Tip Drill video came out.

I think his sister even got caught up in the drama when she was sick and looking for a donor.

Earth, Wind and Fire would have flopped on that stage. Please.
