You know, Nelly has a point

I think that's what Nelly is alluding to, commercially successful artist. First week numbers and going platinum was everything in that era.
Yes, that’s what I think he was alluding too. My favorite era of hip-hop is from the 80s till the early 2000s. Nelly has a point though before social media fully took off, you had to compete to hit that platinum stage you had to put out good songs. It’s mighty strange that no one mentioned OutKast around that time period.
Yep then he is right
Every era has their top dogs
Most of today's rappers wouldn't have survived the era Nelly was in back then.
It's facts and no debating this at all.
I think those years should be included as well.
I could never call platinum record selling rapper wack.
I used to hate that nigga…but he was talented. I think he gets flack because he made music for the women. Just like Ja Rule
The shit he had before he blew up was actually kinda hard
Oh he's right. For his time that was a helluva lot of talent to be competing with. Now lets go back to the mid to late 80s and the roster was stacked just as high. I would say it was even tougher than because in order to be heard people actually had to go out and buy your record/album/tape or hope to hear it on the radio. There was no internet to give you exposure like there was in the early 2000s. Once music went digital anyone with a 56k modem could get any song they wanted.
Nelly was overrated imo.
He dropped a few good
ones, but he's not one of
the GOATS imo.

shit NYC streets was on fire when she dropped this track and video on VMB
Just playing DA, but he's got a Diamond and multiple Platinum plaques....
His debut sold better than a lot of rapper's whole career
I don’t have a huge issue with Nelly, but he did make hip-hop more comfortable to suburban white teens.
he has a point. 90s rap had everybody dropping hits and going platinum .
Yeah another valid point.....
But I also think about "The Diss" the diss songs towards rappers and how that shit went from some playground beef to the valetnine's day massacre
"You sucka mc,your whole life is wack,you can't dress and your girl is wack...."
To....
"Fuck you,fuck your momma,you faggit punk motherfucker,you can try but you going to die,two to the head all ya'll dead...."
"You ugly black ......" almost got whooped

I disagree with you because the late 90s and early 2000s was a very hot period for hip-hop as well.
Awwwww 95 tracks like this were being played like this during the summer
Great time great times
What a fool.
