Ebro in the Morning gives a song by song breakdown & recap of Saturday night's Nelly vs Ludacris Battle #EbrointheMorning #Hot97 #NellyVSLudacris SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/HOT97Sub...
I’m originally from the East Coast, but moved to St. Louis when Nelly was taking off. I had Luda winning easily too, but it’s funny. No one in St. Louis thinks Nelly lost.
@@lnb252 Outside of "Yeah!" by Usher, Luda's hits never got quite as big as Nelly's "Hot in Herre", "Dilemma", or "Shake Ya Tailfeather", but he still had big hits around the same time like "Stand Up!". Plus his run of hits had longer legs than Nelly's . Nelly had the biggest hits, but Luda's were almost as big and he's got more.
I wouldn't say the most BUT he definitely on that list with some other bar heavy ppl like Meth and Bus and Big Boi and Bun B. He has his peers respect definitely but to the masses what he said is overshadowed by the popularity of the songs he's done and feature on
His wave was insane. I lived through the era when Luda and Nelly were dropping their tunes and to be honest Ludacris had a bigger impact. He just started acting and stopped dropping albums over time.
They coulda gave him like 3 points early in the battle. We kno Luda winning, let that man get his points off before yal bury this man sheesh lol like Tailfeather & Nasty Girl.
It's an internet battle. Both of these dudes were running the radio and high school/college clubs for all the late 80s babies. 2000-2005 both held it down. Nelly had dudes wearing band aids on their faces. Luda was like the down south Busta Ryhmes mixed with Missy.
I remember how much all the girls liked them back then around the year 2000-2001. They thought these guys were almost on Ginuwine's level of fine back then.
They shoulda let Nelly get the Dilemma one off. if u was in elementary school when that was out that was all the girls would sing lol especially if they was coupled up
Right, country grammar was a bigger record and changed the landscape of hip hop more than what's your fantasy, some kid comes out of St. Louis with this whole different type of flow and the world embraced it.
I’m good with a tie, but they was being wild bias! I can see Luda winning 11-9 12-8 but they had it 15-5! Bruh! That’s just hate! We all know Luda is the better rapper but Nelly has WAAAAYYY bigger hits!
Facts...Nellyville went DIAMOND and they didnt give a point to Dillema, Hot in here or Air force ones? Why they think so many people baught that album?
@@goat8434wasted, lemonade, icy, freaky girl, spotlight, own worst enemy, bricks, streets nigga, back on, remember when, nothin on ya, make the trap say aye. Gucci got 10 times more albums than Jeezy
People sleeping, my problem with Hot 97 is you can clearly see who they are biased for. I'm not saying Nelly won, but Country Grammer would've def beat that first song Luda played.
Never purchased any Nelly album or been a big fan, but being from the South, I know they have a biased ear to an extent. Im all for solid bars,, but good music is good music.. There were 3 rounds Nelly should have won
Nelly was more pop and had more white fanbase that's why. Back in the day everybody in the hood had bootleg Luda cds. So u gotta add all the bootleg sales for luda too
I don’t think this crew was feeling Nelly when he was hot. His records aren’t as Rap Rap like Luda...so no matter what it’s a huge L for Nelly. But Grills, Dilemma and Air Force one’s are for sure not L’s
Ya'll tryna play Nelly you kno damn well he got hits I like Ludacris but some of his records wasn't touching his this whole break down sounded bias give that man his credit
Nah, a few rounds they have to Luda should have been at least draws. They kept saying ‘you could go either way on this one, but Luda’. They robbed Nelly of Country Grammar and Dilemma. And Hot In Herre. We talking about Diamond singles here.
How did y’all not catch nor talk about Luda playing “Money Maker” with Nelly on the hook instead of Pharrell? THAT was the big reveal of the whole battle. Smh Sidebar: Def Jam dropped the ball by switching Nelly for Pharrell on the hook. That song would have been just as big if not bigger with Nelly on the hook just because people pit them against each early in their career.
They would be the first ever to win a Grammy off of a rereleased single from 10 years ago lol Everybody would go into their old hits that didn't go as big as it should have n rerelease them lol
@@609promotions it did... i wouldn't go as far as saying it would reach number 1 on a rerelease tho. streaming numbers have been down since quarantine. but it would be cool for the culture
TI dont got a catalog of bangers like Luda. Lots of hood cuts but universal bangers.. Not even close. Don't forget this includes "features" which Luda is the King of.
Nothing But Net omg. Luda’s features are crazy. “Made me look” remix, “Oh”, and numerous R&B features. Crazy!!! When I was a kid how I learned about other music was picking up records with luda featuring on it!
"Hot in Here" has more cultural impact than "Move", but "Move" killed with bands across the nation during football season Im sure. Hip Hop won again to celebrate 20 years of two massive 21st century careers, but they shortchanged Nelly here. There were some very close rounds, but Nelly had a couple culture shaping tracks that edged out some Ludacris tracks.
Luda to this day the most slept on rapper of all time. He’s considered a has been by young bucks but if you’re 25 and up you either consider Luda a legend or your ass done forgot how good he was. CONSISTENT from start to finish
Watching their narration of the battles give me an inside view of how our(Down South) music is viewed by New Yorkers. They have a major different outlook on songs than we do. A couple times they chose the record that meant less Down South. Whether it was in Luda or Nelly's favor.
Andrew Rodriguez Lies They both made the record as far as I’m concerned they were doing a lot of Nelly hating because there were definitely more points going to nelly than what they gave. If that’s the case then you might as well save a lil Jon is and usher made lovers and friends
@@HeadToSoles whoa now... lol i don't know where you're from, but "lovers and friends" was a fuckin' hit. I just appreciated Luda's performance on that song a little more than Nelly's performance. But no slight to Nelly. I was still singing... "...tell me ma, what's it gonnnna be..." haha in my country accent
@@nisha5669 but...... "sometimes wanna be yo' loooova... sometimes wanna be yo' friiiiiend..." lol I definitely appreciated Luda's overall performance more than Nelly's. But I was surely bumpin' 'Dilemma', so no slight to Nelly
I think it's more of their taste that makes them seem like that, a LOT of nelly songs they actually picked weren't better songs musically, which is probably why their radio station gets SO much criticism
Dude they picked Lover and Friends over Dilemma, when Dilemma won a Grammy Award, was #1 for over a month and is one of the biggest selling records of all-time, HOT 97 is ass!
Luda had the better songs lyrically but if we keeping it 100 Nelly songs was bigger during the time they dropped.. but I enjoyed the vibes of the battle..
should just song by its longevity , can play any luda song now. ..Nelly's songs did not age well at all lol this was a blow out most of the rounds nelly won were debatable, all Ludas were blow out an I'm pretty sure luda could of went another 20 rounds
Right. Nelly has bigger pop records than Luda but it's this battle that reminded me that I was distracted by the crazy music videos Luda was really a lyricist!
pistolpvyg the fact you think lovers n friends is a BIGGER WORLD WIDE HIT than Dilema shows you already like Luda as a artist more than Nelly so it’s already bias
Not the whole culture. We was rockin Air Force 1's on the east coast way b4 that song came out. Ludacris has better songs regardless of sales. Better lyrics, overall Ludacris was better💯
Just my opinion in these ""VERSUS Battles"" they're no winners or losers to be honest. As "Timbo's" says it's a celebration more than anything. Shouldn't have to pick a winner, as it's more about the music & culture. Just enjoy the Music from the Artists.
There really arent no winners or losers but i guess the fun part is since we know their hits its cool to see what they play in response to a hit or how they strategize
This damn generation is soft as hell "Its no winners we all are winner" Hell NO! EVERYBODY dont get a trophy... This is not 2nd grade sports this is Hip Hop so man TF up
They crazy if they think Stand Up is beating Grillz lol😂😂😂. Nelly won that round hands down!!! That song was so big even dental offices was quoting that song on advertisements and billboards😂😂😂.
1) Why do you Capitalize random Words? 2) Neither of them have ever been close to being "GOATed," but if one of them was - it'd be Ludacris. 3) "da" isn't a word. This isn't 2006. You're not in high school.
Luda's bars hit hard. Luda is a true spitter but most people sleep on him cause of his vids wen he goes crazy. But Nelly hits the charts hard. But I give this to Luda all day everyday cause am here for the bars....#nolifegang
This battle was way closer than what it was Nelly should have won country grammar air Force ones because that was a culture movement of making a shoes go from $75 to a $100 and hot in here was a bigger record than move bitch do they realize how many times that video was being played and Dilemma is a fucking song that woman loved and one of the best early 2000s video's
No one appears as pissed as I am about that. You could get it for about $70 prior to his track dropping. I never rocked one since, and never been the person to try living that lifestyle (keep up w/Jones). It was a bad track tho
can't believe he waited until after the battle to play Dilemma. plus he didn't play #1 or Over and Over. Could've been even closer, a tie, or perhaps winning the battle if he used those songs instead of tracks that not really people have heard before.
Luda has great records across the board and his song placement was good. Ebro was right when he said that despite ludacris's commercial success he always maintained his MC side
Exactly. Real niggas can keep it g. Country grammar, grillz, n air force 1s was a win in dem rounds 4 me. New York ain't tryna hear midwest sound 4real.
@@YCsBest yea cuz they both pushed tha rap/r&b agenda...being sex symbols lol Luda was busy punchlining while Nelly was busy just making good songs. They're both great in there lanes Luda-Rap Nelly-Pop
That's true. Luda obviously won but there are some that should have went to Nelly. But equal sound quality with no bad connection made me choose fairly.
Honestly Nelly should’ve had a better score, it was a much closer battle than these folks are crediting to Nelly but Luda definitely is the winner here
I'm Ludacris all day. Had the first album on. His rapping skills is above many. He is of the same creativeness thread, lyrically and visually like Busta and Missy.
Man Luda’s flows are insane and his punch line game is way underrated.
One of my favourite artist growing up 🔥🔥🔥 underrated is an understatement
💯💯💯💯
Facts, this battle made me remember Luda was an actual spitter.
They didn’t even change the score for nelly? 😂
I think Nellys albums made more babys but Luda got bi*ches out the way lol
Luda's DJ skills came out. He knew all the perfect cuts to reply with.
I’m originally from the East Coast, but moved to St. Louis when Nelly was taking off. I had Luda winning easily too, but it’s funny. No one in St. Louis thinks Nelly lost.
@@gio7388 I'm from Gary Indiana. I rock with them both. But people are always gonna ride with their home town no matter what. They both winner's
Yeah he scouted Nelly big time
luda had his own dj he wasnt dj ing
@Jay80 Luda was a radio DJ before his rap career and he took advantage of that skill in the battle.
Nelly had bigger records based on sells and Billboard, but Luda songs hit different because he got bars.
luda had bigger songs because i remember them,they hit hifferent,luda had more bangers
@@lnb252 Outside of "Yeah!" by Usher, Luda's hits never got quite as big as Nelly's "Hot in Herre", "Dilemma", or "Shake Ya Tailfeather", but he still had big hits around the same time like "Stand Up!". Plus his run of hits had longer legs than Nelly's . Nelly had the biggest hits, but Luda's were almost as big and he's got more.
I agree with what ya say, Luda got bars, but Nelly's beats thump harder and how he flows to them, I like Nelly better.
That's facts that's why 97 shouldnt judge .. They don't get it ...
Your right I won my $1000 from it... I will Bet snoop Dogg over anybody and Im taking all bets
Nelly didn't even play #1, that's a one of his biggest track's.
He played it. Earlier in the battle
Luda didnt play too fast too furious, get back
Batter up, N Dey Say, Over and Over. He has so much more hits.
I was waiting for to play that jawn smh
@@darylnaidoo7978 pimp juice
Don’t disrespect Nelly like this! Y’all didn’t give him Grillz, Hot in here, even Dilemma
And pimp juice 🧃
They were really hating on Nelly... it was way closer than they made it seem.
@Nova it's a hit for hit battle, not skill vs skill. Nelly's records were bigger, they sleeping on him big time
Them joints you named still don't top Ludas. Nelly is abc to Luda
Scripz Carrenton ludas pretty one dimensional though
I always said Luda was the most underrated rapper of all time, you never heard Luda spit a wack verse.
Boooyyyy Sttooppppppp🚫
My chick bad versus were cringeworthy by Luda and o f#cks with Cris,pause🚫💯💰
I wouldn't say the most BUT he definitely on that list with some other bar heavy ppl like Meth and Bus and Big Boi and Bun B. He has his peers respect definitely but to the masses what he said is overshadowed by the popularity of the songs he's done and feature on
Red man most underrated
Never. I knew he would win when I thought of this battle before they actually announced it
His wave was insane. I lived through the era when Luda and Nelly were dropping their tunes and to be honest Ludacris had a bigger impact. He just started acting and stopped dropping albums over time.
Luda won but put more respect on Nelly's name
Agreed 💯. Ebro being his hateful self making disrespectful comments he would not make when Nelly was hot
Facts
Thank you
They coulda gave him like 3 points early in the battle. We kno Luda winning, let that man get his points off before yal bury this man sheesh lol like Tailfeather & Nasty Girl.
Thank you diamond album not to many of us can say that.
I actually like both artists, but I feel this is a perfect example of how lyricism will help a song age well
Facts!!!!
Facts Nelly thought he was kicking ass too 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ludacris is severely underrated lyrically
Yo I been saying that for years. He has way more hits then Nelly and I like Nelly. I didn't think this was a good match up. Not even fair
Yup. POTION. You got a problem. LARGE AMOUNTS. SOUTHERN FRIED INTRO. RED LIGHT DISTRICT INTRO
Not really, both these guys were anything but underrated back in the year 2000. Them and Rule were the three most popular new rappers that year.
It's an internet battle. Both of these dudes were running the radio and high school/college clubs for all the late 80s babies. 2000-2005 both held it down. Nelly had dudes wearing band aids on their faces. Luda was like the down south Busta Ryhmes mixed with Missy.
Uh late 80s AND early 90s just to remind you
I remember how much all the girls liked them back then around the year 2000-2001. They thought these guys were almost on Ginuwine's level of fine back then.
PERFECT analysis bro
Old man ebro is the biggest hater wow
Works in radio but says he hates radio hits what an idiot
I gotta agree. Why is Ebro feeding this. It aint even fire yet. Just smoke.
Ebro SO NewYork but he's from Berkley, California...
Always is smh
@@robert3k lmaooo
Y’all disrespected nelly this whole video smh
I'm a big fan of both,but yea they was trippin hard
They shoulda let Nelly get the Dilemma one off. if u was in elementary school when that was out that was all the girls would sing lol especially if they was coupled up
Luda took it easy on Nelly... He didnt even play "Numba one Spot" because he didnt want to embarrass Nelly any further
Ball Hog Elite You do realize that Nelly also didn’t play a lot of other hits that he had right
anisha vontress exactly! #1 vs Number One Spot is not even close. And I’m a Luda fan
I would like to point out they robbed nelly of The pimp juice rd and Country grammar rd!
Didn't they doe
Right, country grammar was a bigger record and changed the landscape of hip hop more than what's your fantasy, some kid comes out of St. Louis with this whole different type of flow and the world embraced it.
And grillz, and air force 1s.
Agreed! But they gave him some that sucked , Luda shoulda won saturday
DJ King T.U.T nelly got spanked fair and square
I feel like yall snubbed Nelly on at least 2 to 3 songs. He should have won for Air Force ones and Grillz.
The Shake Ya Tailfeather disrespect was uncalled for, I wasn’t sure what they were listening to.. it went number one too
Exactly like wth yeah is not beating where the party at wtf are they talking about
shake ya tailfeather got that grammy tho
THIS IS THE REASON PEOPLE DONT LISTEN TO RADIO ANYMORE
And here you are...
@@12592c on youtube not radio so point still stands...
🛰 📻
That’s a thought not a thot. Good point.
I listen to the radio all the time.
Y’all bias!! So you robbed Nelly of Air forces ones and Grillz? I can deal when a draw or a spilt but y’all just cappin at this point!
Exactly!!! Nothing Luda played would’ve beat Air Force Ones and Grillz or any of Nelly big hits.
Nah u wilding and I rook with both em
I’m good with a tie, but they was being wild bias! I can see Luda winning 11-9 12-8 but they had it 15-5! Bruh! That’s just hate! We all know Luda is the better rapper but Nelly has WAAAAYYY bigger hits!
Facts...Nellyville went DIAMOND and they didnt give a point to Dillema, Hot in here or Air force ones? Why they think so many people baught that album?
Grillz was better also nelly was in his girl hits he left out some classic bangers
Yall disrespected Nelly this whole video.......he won much more than yall gave him credit for.......alot of recent bias.......Nelly had bangers
Exactly ebro with his hating azz nelly didnt even played half of his hits for some reason this battle needs to do over live
Luda left that "I'm so Hood" remix verse on the table. One of filthiest verses ever.
One of my favs
Luda left sooo much on the table. That I Get Money verse was bananas too.
That Gossip talk with Missy was hella crazy as well.
His track with Jeezy 🔥 and Luda has hella features like that “Dey Know “ remix verse Lol that man strapped with hits 💯😂
Luda got hits for days and WON
Anyone grew up like in are teens know Luda got hits for days and know Nelly pretty good too tho.
@@TheSmilodon85 shouts out to our area what you said is a fact..
@@TheSmilodon85 Fact
Luda don't get the respect he deserves..That's facts
Days months and years
I Like Luda But They DISRESPECTED Nelly SMH
Faccts
Exactly
Kinda have to agree
Nelly got rounds snatched by their biased asses. Tell me what song was hotter than Dilemma and Hot in Here at that time? I'm a solid Luda fan too.
Nelly didn’t prepare if you watched the battle.Literally after round 7 nelly was done for.
TI v Jeezy would be fire
@tommy williams gucci dont have enough hits . Thats a no brainer jeezy t.i. would be more better
@@ellsworthconstructionllc you tripping if you think Gucci don't have enough hits to battle Jeezy.
@@startingQB What hits does Gucci man have?
@@goat8434wasted, lemonade, icy, freaky girl, spotlight, own worst enemy, bricks, streets nigga, back on, remember when, nothin on ya, make the trap say aye. Gucci got 10 times more albums than Jeezy
No it would not be fire. TI would massacre Jeezy hit for hit. TI v Luda woulda been a better matcup. Or outkast v Luda.
These mfs don’t need to judge south rap
Big respect to both of them they changed the game and put their cities on the map
Nelly got hits quit playing🔥🔥🔥
People sleeping, my problem with Hot 97 is you can clearly see who they are biased for. I'm not saying Nelly won, but Country Grammer would've def beat that first song Luda played.
BlackMarq20 Exactly!!!
BlackMarq20 I fell in love with Luda with what’s your fantasy. But I had to give it to country grammar, that just hit diff.
Never purchased any Nelly album or been a big fan, but being from the South, I know they have a biased ear to an extent. Im all for solid bars,, but good music is good music.. There were 3 rounds Nelly should have won
@@waltbcouncil4786 Exactly its not a bar for bar battle!
You guys can't take nothing from nelly. Nelly sell # diamond
Facts
Sells don’t equal skill.
Nelly was more pop and had more white fanbase that's why. Back in the day everybody in the hood had bootleg Luda cds. So u gotta add all the bootleg sales for luda too
Everybody and they mama had a bootleg Word of Mouf album
Sadly a lot of Nelly's tracks didn't age well... All of Luda joints aged gracefully
Facts
Agree... Luda has more timeless records
Nah brother I disagree on that one
I agree!
Couldn’t disagree more I still bump Nelly and not Luda
#hot97. Y’all are not good at judging southern music. Period
EXACTLY!!! Corny asses Luda did win though they took a couple from Nelly that he should of got
I don’t think this crew was feeling Nelly when he was hot. His records aren’t as Rap Rap like Luda...so no matter what it’s a huge L for Nelly. But Grills, Dilemma and Air Force one’s are for sure not L’s
How lovers and friends beats dilemma is a myth to me.
#Facts
Sorry, L&F kills Dilemma. Without Kelly, that's not a hit for Nelly. L&F had that perfect blend of hardness, smoothness, & love to it.
Agreed, no one is listening to L&F over Dilemma!
@@John-lw9bn you crazy, no one is listening to Delima without Kelly, Luda went in on Lovers and Friends.
Ya'll tryna play Nelly you kno damn well he got hits I like Ludacris but some of his records wasn't touching his this whole break down sounded bias give that man his credit
Absolutely
@@rODIUMuk i know i may catch flack for this comment but I think it's cause of what he said bout how NY don't give him credit for what he's done
They gave Nelly rounds that were draws out of sympathy. He was never beating Ludacris.
@@lovestory20148 yea they gave him rounds but still was bias the minute he played Tip Drill they gave him that round but still downplayed him
Nah, a few rounds they have to Luda should have been at least draws. They kept saying ‘you could go either way on this one, but Luda’. They robbed Nelly of Country Grammar and Dilemma. And Hot In Herre. We talking about Diamond singles here.
How did y’all not catch nor talk about Luda playing “Money Maker” with Nelly on the hook instead of Pharrell? THAT was the big reveal of the whole battle. Smh
Sidebar: Def Jam dropped the ball by switching Nelly for Pharrell on the hook. That song would have been just as big if not bigger with Nelly on the hook just because people pit them against each early in their career.
That's why luda mentioned about re-releasing it so they big can win the 4th grammy together
Yea it was but that still not beating Nelly song number one because nobody didn't go too crazy for that song being the original with skateboard p
They would be the first ever to win a Grammy off of a rereleased single from 10 years ago lol Everybody would go into their old hits that didn't go as big as it should have n rerelease them lol
It was still number 1 wasn't it?
@@609promotions it did... i wouldn't go as far as saying it would reach number 1 on a rerelease tho. streaming numbers have been down since quarantine. but it would be cool for the culture
I can’t lie, on all the ones y’all edged Luda. I edged nelly. Guess y’all wasn’t out in clubs at the time.
Did you watch the battle? I won't lie watching the battle, Luda washed Nelly but watching it like this made it look closer for some reason
Hot 97 have no idea the impact of a lot of southern music
We real hiphop over here son. No disrespect to Nelly but yea....not even close. Nelly barely a rapper
On second thought 2 of those i will give Nelly that they gave Luda

Lmao this would actually be dope, they both have monster hits.
🤣🤣🤣 Good One!

Luda vs. TI Would have been crazy!
Hopefully we get Jeezy vs TI
The vm battle that clearly should have taken place, now it's over can't reveal your allot of your cards and still battle a guy like ti

"Hot in Here" has more cultural impact than "Move", but "Move" killed with bands across the nation during football season Im sure.
Hip Hop won again to celebrate 20 years of two massive 21st century careers, but they shortchanged Nelly here. There were some very close rounds, but Nelly had a couple culture shaping tracks that edged out some Ludacris tracks.

The hate is crazy on Nelly they not even hiding the hate.
This is crazy
I think it's more of their taste that makes them seem like that, a LOT of nelly songs they actually picked weren't better songs musically, which is probably why their radio station gets SO much criticism
This felt very biased and in favor of luda tho
Nelly was a much bigger artist. They really stupid man
True!!!!
Nelly got much bigger records, but Luda got more hits. Both winners tho 👏🏾 loooooved this Versuz.
Dude they picked Lover and Friends over Dilemma, when Dilemma won a Grammy Award, was #1 for over a month and is one of the biggest selling records of all-time, HOT 97 is ass!

You just saw that one account say that 😭

Definitely! Nelly's songs were huge at the time! Shame they didn't ring as well during the battle. He was good sport though, and full of energy
Thats because Nelly songs were more pop than ludas
Right. Nelly has bigger pop records than Luda but it's this battle that reminded me that I was distracted by the crazy music videos Luda was really a lyricist!
Most rappers would love to have Nelly his musical skills. He is more than an average rapper.
Luda and Terry crews took a big L with that movie on Netflix

Naw..it ain't beatin lovers n friends. Only thing is..it wasnt his song tho
pistolpvyg the fact you think lovers n friends is a BIGGER WORLD WIDE HIT than Dilema shows you already like Luda as a artist more than Nelly so it’s already bias
Nothing beats lovers and friends nothing
Air Force 1s shook the culture
Tell em
Facts
Not the whole culture. We was rockin Air Force 1's on the east coast way b4 that song came out. Ludacris has better songs regardless of sales. Better lyrics, overall Ludacris was better💯
That's not cheating you can use Ft
Maybe in NY
Just my opinion in these ""VERSUS Battles"" they're no winners or losers to be honest. As "Timbo's" says it's a celebration more than anything. Shouldn't have to pick a winner, as it's more about the music & culture.
Just enjoy the Music from the Artists.
Fr G!! All them hits they both 🐐 s 💯
There really arent no winners or losers but i guess the fun part is since we know their hits its cool to see what they play in response to a hit or how they strategize
I see it as a friendly competition,so yea no actual winners or loser.Some might have a favorite though
This damn generation is soft as hell "Its no winners we all are winner" Hell NO! EVERYBODY dont get a trophy... This is not 2nd grade sports this is Hip Hop so man TF up
it wouldn't be a battle if they didn't choose tho lol but I feel you... it's a beautiful thing to hear all of these records again
Luda won but they not giving Nelly his props. No doubt.
So I’m based in the UK and Nelly’s songs were much bigger over here. Loved both of them but I hate to see all this disrespect to Nelly!!
Luda is way better Rapper (MC) #nohate
💯
nelly is the better singer
hes a lyricist
But that's not the point. It's about big hits
Nelly did pave the way tho for all of these sing-rappers or rappers who rap with melody. Him & Ja Rule. Further back u could say Bone Thugs
They crazy if they think Stand Up is beating Grillz lol😂😂😂. Nelly won that round hands down!!! That song was so big even dental offices was quoting that song on advertisements and billboards😂😂😂.
This was biased
Stand up is harder but you right
Cultural classic. Had niggas out there feelin like they had 2 get a grill
@Mr SnubNose What's your fantasy is way better.
@Mr SnubNose Way bigger. I love what's your fantasy, but Country Grammar was everywhere. My Grandpa bought the CD and he doesn't even like rap
Both Are Great Artists So It Didn't matter who won both were GOATED in da 2000s Era
1) Why do you Capitalize random Words?
2) Neither of them have ever been close to being "GOATed," but if one of them was - it'd be Ludacris.
3) "da" isn't a word. This isn't 2006. You're not in high school.
@@Tcrror First off bruh I know wat I said dat jus how I type I know how to pronounce shyt n they was GOATED in they era it jus my opinion
@@Tcrror they were both big in the early 2000s
I agree
@@Tcrror true Luda last as well💯💯💯 it must of matter if dude came to see it. 🙆🏽♂️ panties in a bunch Luda won. 🤦🏽♂️
Luda's bars hit hard. Luda is a true spitter but most people sleep on him cause of his vids wen he goes crazy. But Nelly hits the charts hard. But I give this to Luda all day everyday cause am here for the bars....#nolifegang
Luda’s definitely one of the best. Always has a great delivery!
Nelly really enjoyed his music
Lol. Didn’t he though!!
As He Should!! 💯🔑✅💭👊🏾
These breakdowns are just pure hating and unfair.
Yea exactly
Straight hatin on Dirty
Very bias
Exactly
Most of the breakdowns are good. But this one was too biased.
This battle was way closer than what it was Nelly should have won country grammar air Force ones because that was a culture movement of making a shoes go from $75 to a $100 and hot in here was a bigger record than move bitch do they realize how many times that video was being played and Dilemma is a fucking song that woman loved and one of the best early 2000s video's
No one appears as pissed as I am about that.
You could get it for about $70 prior to his track dropping.
I never rocked one since, and never been the person to try living that lifestyle (keep up w/Jones).
It was a bad track tho
@Jeff Roberts Everywhere is different.
can't believe he waited until after the battle to play Dilemma. plus he didn't play #1 or Over and Over. Could've been even closer, a tie, or perhaps winning the battle if he used those songs instead of tracks that not really people have heard before.
Rob Jones They gave Nelly rounds that were draws out of sympathy. He was never beating Ludacris.
Anthony Banks He played Dilemma during the battle.
They have a very difficult time judging Southern./Midwestern rappers
Luda has great records across the board and his song placement was good. Ebro was right when he said that despite ludacris's commercial success he always maintained his MC side
What I want to know is who’s the dude on the bottom right who never speaks. Why is he even there lol 😆
I have been asking the same question for some time now. What is his motivation?
Security
That’s DJ Juanyto but who knows what he’s doing lol
I think he the technician. Lol
He's playing the music
I agree Luda won. I disagree because I would've picked Grillz. Other than that I agree
Grillz and hot in here were some huge songs!!! Some men just don’t want to like nelly.
Facts. I think Nelly v. Ja Rule would've been better. They would've at least had to give Nelly more credit than they did.
Exactly. Real niggas can keep it g. Country grammar, grillz, n air force 1s was a win in dem rounds 4 me. New York ain't tryna hear midwest sound 4real.
EVERYBODY PUT FOIL IN THEIR MOUTH WHEN THAT SONG CAME OUT Lmao
@@YCsBest yea cuz they both pushed tha rap/r&b agenda...being sex symbols lol
Luda was busy punchlining while Nelly was busy just making good songs. They're both great in there lanes
Luda-Rap
Nelly-Pop
Kamarty Petersen I was a part of that everybody lmao 😂😂
Man I want a Twista vs Mystikal battle celebration! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤨 u definitely r on 2 something
Y'all trippin Nelly got robbed on grills, pimp juice and Airforce 1's hands down, Nelly won those 3 but Luda did win this vs battle
Waited for this breakdown
i would have matched Luda welcome to ATL it should have matched him with JD "Where the Party At"
You guys don't like nelly
Right😂😂😂
They Bias
Ludacris worked for hot97 so obviously lol
Evans Gavin nelly nice but against Luda hit for hit Luda’s better
Naw you just in love luda smashed
Im starting to smell a little bias n hate for nelly....a few of dem joints he shouldve won
They was hating on Nelly hard. He definitely took some of those rounds
Nelly was a much bigger artist..they ain't keepin' it real
How does 1 dislike country grammar is what I’m trying to figure out
Track was lit back then....
Yeah very strange
Because they’re some haters lol😂😂😂
Facts this song was biiiiiigggg asf
They are dissing Nelly cause at the time country music wasn't accepted. They are viewing it based on how they didn't like it at the time.
*SO WHOS BRITE IDEA WAS IT TO CHANGE THE COMMENT SECTION AROUND LIKE THIS...🙄*
How is it now I noticed ppl saying the same ..
WHOSE* (otherwise it's "who is brite [....] idea) BRITE IDEA WAS IT TO INSINUATE OTHERS ARE DUMB WHEN YOU CAN'T SPELL "BRIGHT".
@@Tcrror You do realize this is the Internet and not a Harvard essay🙄 like get a life and some 🐈
you tube
@@BaddyBroadcast his lame ass
doctor: “you have 46 minutes and 32 seconds left to live”
me:
kylie reeder feel u 😂😂
This panel is way too biased on nelly and stl
HOW? If ANYTHING They Are Either Even Keel Or More Ludacris!!! 💯🎯🔑
That's true. Luda obviously won but there are some that should have went to Nelly. But equal sound quality with no bad connection made me choose fairly.
When Luda dropped Southern Hospitality late 2000 it made him an instant star and changed the game then southern rap took over.
Lmao i like how luda was looking like babyface, mad calm lol
Lol yes he was
No concerns at all.
P popping is a Down south strip clip joint
Don’t beat Tip Drill ...TD is a strip club classic! Anywhere!
As well as tip drill that's a legendary video
@Thulsa Doom not like tip drill though
Luda won but come on it was way closer than that the Midwest know
Straight up
Fact im from the Midwest and I remember how big Nelly was
The south and midwest knows!!! That's why I felt NYC is not equipped to judge this vs.
When Luda had dem braids he wnt hardddd
Respect Nelly
So wait ebros votes is the ultimate say so. Foh
He's been the tie breaker.
startingQB I ain’t see no tie in some of those votes. That’s why I made the statement.
😂💯🤦🏽♂️ YEAH “OLD MAN” HATING AS USUAL!! 💡✅👍🏽
Dilema’s a bigger hit than lovers and friends
Lovers and Friends is a BETTER song than Dilemma tho
Shon S. You know you’re right, i just looked at the billboard charts on both songs
Honestly Nelly should’ve had a better score, it was a much closer battle than these folks are crediting to Nelly but Luda definitely is the winner here
Shon S. But nelly was in dilemma more then Luda was in lovers and friends
Lover and friends was a way better record. U will here it, if you went out today lol
Pimp Juice🔥🔥🔥
The remix even better
Ebro definitely was hating and very bias. It could have been Nelly 5-1 before Round 7.
I'll say it again... Ludacris is the Southern 🐐
Ebro bias. And everybody else like yes men LOL. Idc what anybody say, daz IMO. Even with tpain & lil jon i noticed that. Smh
Always like that.
Bucketlist Beauty facts! They robbed nelly of about 5 rds that I can’t so far! I think Luda won but they called it a wash and that false
That's why 6ix9ine came at him. I dont even listen to 6ix but it isn't hard to see how bias Ebro and Laura are
😂😂😂 Facts!!!!!!
Body On Me was the beginning of the end for my STL brethren but both are legends & HUGE in the early 2000s, they don’t make music like this no more
2 legends but luda killed nelly mo as we all knew
I'm Ludacris all day. Had the first album on. His rapping skills is above many. He is of the same creativeness thread, lyrically and visually like Busta and Missy.
I’m wit Luda overall but Nelly won way more of those rounds... I felt bias in the room
Saturday is a down South and Midwest classic... beatin the trunk...rattlin the trunk...808 boomin
I feel like they was disrespecting nelly even though Luda won nelly Is a legend
Luda had more hits tho!
hinata w what’s even crazier is he has like
10x more 😬 Luda is definitely OP
great celebration. Luda’s voice is something else. he and Bun B can make anything sound great.
Luda won due to delivering more consistency in his song choices
You can’t trust these Hot 97 guys to judge music at all. Hot in here was a mash for the decades I mean...what are they even talking about?
a hit on the radio for white ppl
