The Only Time I’m Ever Posting A Nelly Song
Nelly – “Bay“
Nelly channels Spice 1, Too Short and E-40 on this, his tribute to the Yay. Strange career move for the nearly irrelevant rapper, but it’s a nice gesture. Produced by Droop-E.

It is like Bobby Jimmy and the Critters “New York Rapper.” “Bay” has been all over KMEL. Totally baffling.

nelly aint relevant but every damn top 40 song has the term/brand ‘apple bottom jeans’ in it

nelly’s irrelevant? maybe in the hermeneutical of rap you care about, but yo i’ll tell you when my friend was in iraq his sergeant’s war-long soundtrack was the song ‘hot in hurr’
popular = relevant

^was it really necessary to bring up iraq in order to defend Nelly? I mean, really, Nelly? I mean, it’s fantastic that his music helped someone get through their tour of duty, but c’mon. popular doesn’t equal good, that’s for damn sure.

Nelly is one of the most over hated rappers out there. He deserve more praise than hate. Can’t wait till Brass Knuckles.

Well I give it up to Nelly for not being afraid to show some respect to the Bay Area

It’s weird, the Bay feels way more connected to the South and the Midwest than it does to LA, rapwise. I guess it goes back to the diaspora of black people and the way they came up from the South. Didn’t Mac Dre get killed in St. Louis?

This just goes to show that droop can make anyone sound good.

Don´t hate on Nelly, man. He makes good popraptunes for the kids, one some positive, happy shit. Plus his first album is banging for real…
