Nelly was busy dropping mid albums and going country WAY before the new gen, shoutout SWEAT and SUIT. He dumped his own legacy down the drain a long long time before a new generation even had a chance to not respect him

Big sween

@Sweenatino

Shoutout all yall!

New gen was like 5 when he was poppin s*** like wtf is mans on

Ja Rule & Nelly some of the most impactful ever

Yessir

it was only just a dream!

they do, Lil Wayne.

Mans had somethin on his chest about generations and respect then nelly was his primary focus

Nelly was one of those crossover radio rappers who's career was already on borrowed time because he was heavily dependent on casual listeners for sales.

Once G-Unit blew up with the hardcore sound and Kanye/Wayne started changing the landscape of rap, his time was almost up cause casuals tend to flock to whatever the most popping sound is.

And that's a normal cycle for a lot of rappers and pop stars.

Wayne, Kanye, Jay, Nas, Em, Kendrick, Drake, etc. have a much stronger core fanbase in hip hop than Nelly ever did which explains why Nelly build up a new fanbase in country.

This is what you was thinking about a 2am in the morning?

Nelly Country Collabs?

Bingo

Nelly made the mistake of making crossover radio records without solidifying his rap base

That creates an incredibly futile fanbase
