Nelly's first two albums were the biggest selling records not made by Eminem in the rap game at the time
Then he fell off right after
Drake has been consistent since 2009 & sells the most records in hip hop despite being the most pirated
Nelly might be a "you had to be there" typa artist to really enjoy him. I grew up on dude's music, but a lot of people here were being born at the time lmao.
I'd still, personally, pick Drake. But the two aren't really too far off in comparison.
Yeah I was a jitt when Nelly was popping in the 2000s...4 years old when Sweatsuit dropped. But I remember he had a s*** ton of hits on the radio and honestly I dig “Over and Over”...definitely a better crossover of hiphop/country than “Old Town Road”
Nelly is Drake before Drake tbh he was f***ing huge. That Bad Boys for Life song with Diddy was a moment lol
I have never heard a Nelly song in my life
Ngl I thought this thread was a joke when I read the title of it. But the more I thought about it, it seems like a fair comparison. I'm gonna go with Drake because he has multiple good projects, while Nelly only has Country Grammar and Nellyville. Sweatsuit had some good singles but overall really mediocre projects.
You may want to check out SweatSuit again

Ngl I haven’t listened to it since middle school...I gotta check it out again
Bait, but Nelly was good for his time. Unfortunately for people back then rap has progressed and Drake is the goat.

Yeah especially the Suit side, it really shows how far ahead he was at the time.
After SweatSuit yeah that’s when the falloff happens lol

Michael Jordan was damn good,but Lebron is a specimen the likes of which we've never seen before. Same situation here all of those guys were decent,but Drake has raised the level of the game.

Come on and come over to my place
Crazy thing about this song is, this wasn’t a hybrid rap/r&b song.....this was an r&b song. No one was doing it like him.
really? is the multiplayer good?
haven't played eternal multiplayer, but 2016 is still good and active
in terms of fame? their peaks are pretty close
in terms of their artistry? it's Drake and it's not even close lol

I think you underestimate how versatile Nelly was

Exactly, dude was an innovator.
Could effortlessly switch between different styles of rap/r&b too
