People need to get off Nelly. Even though he wasn't the most lyrical or most political rapper out there at that time, he was still hot on the street. I don't know nobody who don't liked Nellyville.
I was going thru my Wu-Tang phase when Nelly popped....I hated Nelly lol....but now I understand that rap needs balance. Nelly brought the fun side back to rap....all rap can't sound the same.
I'm from the Lou (St.Louis)..it was a point in time when the stores couldn't keep Air Force One's in because of the hype....Nike should have cut him some money for that
i feel like nelly's a dope rapper/artist, but the labels or something made him get into poppy stuff early on in his career and that's just not my style, all due respect, it seemed like his career was going to go in a different direction with country grammar starting it off but yea
I remember the first time i heard Nelly. It was senior week of '00 or '01 in Ocean City Maryland and every single car you heard "Hot Shit, we goin down down baby" Country Grammer. That shit hit like a tidal wave, everyone was bangin that shit.
Most careers its takes 14 years to get to the heights you want... entertainment you can get to the top in a year or two but then sometimes have to spend the rest of your life coming down off that high
Goodness, Nelly has gotten me thru many negative experiences! Who knows if marriage will happen. Sure I would in a split minute. However, more interested in memories and share much love as 2 families become #1.
True but that statement he made and say that's all we were is Reebok's is a damn lie. LOL we wear all types of kicks some people wear Air Forces before they got Poplar the old-school guys Fila and Timberlands and stuff like that listen to the song
I think it would be fair to say, my ex’s keep up with me much more than I could ever imagine. Thank Goodness I was smart enough to know a taste equals safe. Just a LIL BIT more, no doubt would have lead to DEAD N GONE. Just sayin!
no disrespect to nelly. but when you spit that mainstream ish, your days are numbered! well, all due respect to Hov who's a HUGE exception. but you are not going to build a real, loyal & lasting fanbase like a Nas or Mos Def or Common or Talib or Outkast or real Lupe fans doin' the same old, same old. Wayne took Nelly's fanbase. And soon young cats will get w/a new jack and move on. Sway talkin' album sales & crossover. Doin' his style of "rap(?)", that kinda "success" doesn't last.
I just love his voice 🥺🥺everything about him is just so ! I like that he’s very humble and honest !
Sway give the best intros to every artist!!!
BigTTheGod96 GOAT OF INTROS
Sway the real deal
I JUST had this convo about him yesterday! He KNOWS what he is doing! Business Sense!!
Nelly is a good dude. Great interview Nelly. Hope his album does well
05:15 I love Sway. He asks the right questions at the right time.
Great interview and I am a proud Nellly fan.
goood interview sway.... keep putting up the full inteveiwsssss
I actually like his take on the youth and music evolving for. The youth I didn't quite think about it like that but it's true
Hilarious, lmao. Nelly always honest.
People need to get off Nelly. Even though he wasn't the most lyrical or most political rapper out there at that time, he was still hot on the street. I don't know nobody who don't liked Nellyville.
Sway gives the best intros hands down
I was going thru my Wu-Tang phase when Nelly popped....I hated Nelly lol....but now I understand that rap needs balance. Nelly brought the fun side back to rap....all rap can't sound the same.
nelly been deep in st. Louis forreal
Great interview
gotta love this dude
aw love nelly he's still got his grillz haha
Nelly's sold more records than Jay-Z, just to give people an idea of what Nelly used to be
Indeed. He sold tons of records. Jayz highest selling album was Hardknock Life 5m
Overall Jay Z has sold more records, 50 million, and Nelly 21 million. He just has an album that sold more than Jay Z's albums, but not more total.
Yes sir Nelly Mo went diamond.
And Jay probably released triple as much records. Nelly and Eminem were running the Hip Hop in the early 2000's.
What he did
Trend setter since 2000 legend
this interview is hilarious
I'm from the Lou (St.Louis)..it was a point in time when the stores couldn't keep Air Force One's in because of the hype....Nike should have cut him some money for that
Sway gave Nelly that James Lipton, "Inside the Actor's Studio" type intro.
He kept the lights on at universal for 20 years
damn I really had to go pullup Country Grammar like 2 minutes into this interview....
Thank you
I love my Nelly soooo very much. Seems he and his lyrics gave me confidence to Trap the streets, even allowed me to make my own rules along the way!
Honestly, I did not have a clue as to what I was doing. I guess being a homegrown smart ass saved my way n day!
20:00-30:00 the best part of the interview
LOL =)
A VERY SMART MAN!!!!!!MUCH LOVE NELLY!!!!!
I love Nelly
I like Nelly's vibe
Ima have to check out his new album too!
I love you Nelly you are the greatest and is my love too.🥰🥰💋💋🤗🤗🔥🔥💕💕🙏💯💖💜 you continue with your Journey & Careers ok I am here!! Lil' Bit!!!💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹
Heather Bs race when he said Single was priceless lol

i've listened to this interview from start to finish and i'm still waiting to hear the freestyle! can anybody tell me when the freestyling occurred??
Sways introductions be dope lol
nigga nelly be chillin
i feel like nelly's a dope rapper/artist, but the labels or something made him get into poppy stuff early on in his career and that's just not my style, all due respect, it seemed like his career was going to go in a different direction with country grammar starting it off but yea
Like he explained... thats how you get the money.
nephew been on the Westcoast.. LA/LB wit that sheeesshhh haha
Nelly Sold The Most Album in 2001 at 8.3 Million
I doubt he sold more than Michael Jackson “Invincible” in 2001.
I love it! I seen you do a lot things but dancing ain't one. Stay Yay.
Nelly, where my box at? I got yours on the down low with loctight.😂
I seen a X in the sky. I have witnessed this 3 or 4 times over the past several years. Always reassures I am not alone. As DMX sings, We right here.
Ok. Nelly relationship status solved. I'm it. I'ma Jill of all trades. Bring it Nelly Pl3eeeeeaaaassssseeeee!
Love nelly❤❤
Nelly did his thing in the music industry...
Nelly speaking truth
that dean thing is dope
I love NELLY... Ugh son hes so damn fine and luv his vibe always doin something different.
You give Nelly the credit for air force ones cuz we was rockin them way before that song.
When someone says 'no pun intended', It's 100% sure you intended it.
lol this was a funnyass interview
" Dig deep dig deep " - sway
Wtf face - Nelly
I remember the first time i heard Nelly. It was senior week of '00 or '01 in Ocean City Maryland and every single car you heard "Hot Shit, we goin down down baby" Country Grammer. That shit hit like a tidal wave, everyone was bangin that shit.
Hilarious!
what goes up must come down
LMAO! Yeah they're Scorpios to the heart. The questions about sex had Nelly shook lol. They're some freaks.
Most careers its takes 14 years to get to the heights you want... entertainment you can get to the top in a year or two but then sometimes have to spend the rest of your life coming down off that high
He's carrying it as if she was rocking lettuce in her teeth on purpose.
Pimp juice the best track he came with
Scorpio ALRIGHT. We rock that
From Country Grammar to Ride Wit Me...Air Force Ones to Grillz...not to mention hot in herre
Goodness, Nelly has gotten me thru many negative experiences! Who knows if marriage will happen. Sure I would in a split minute. However, more interested in memories and share much love as 2 families become #1.
Subway yessir
Nelly said it's okay to sell out if you know you're selling out 💲

Haha Scorpio pride
S/O to putting Nelly and "staying current" in the same sentence...
He got that AF1 shit from NY cuz we the only ppl still wearin forces aka all whites aka uptowns
True but that statement he made and say that's all we were is Reebok's is a damn lie. LOL we wear all types of kicks some people wear Air Forces before they got Poplar the old-school guys Fila and Timberlands and stuff like that listen to the song

I think it would be fair to say, my ex’s keep up with me much more than I could ever imagine. Thank Goodness I was smart enough to know a taste equals safe. Just a LIL BIT more, no doubt would have lead to DEAD N GONE. Just sayin!

HATER #WHATUDOING
no disrespect to nelly. but when you spit that mainstream ish, your days are numbered! well, all due respect to Hov who's a HUGE exception. but you are not going to build a real, loyal & lasting fanbase like a Nas or Mos Def or Common or Talib or Outkast or real Lupe fans doin' the same old, same old. Wayne took Nelly's fanbase. And soon young cats will get w/a new jack and move on. Sway talkin' album sales & crossover. Doin' his style of "rap(?)", that kinda "success" doesn't last.
htownhomie06 right cuz you know everything...
My nigga Cornell
Great interview
