    This is delusion idek why I’m replying.

    Nelly has about 4 songs that could have a chance at even winning.

    No grown ass adult in 2022 who isn’t a delusional dust head is about to go up for Flap Your Wings, Grillz, Shake Ya Tailfeather, Cruise Remix, and Etc.

    These are all Toosie Slide level songs.

    you need to understand that those 4 songs are way over drake's level of music; pimp juice, dilemma, e.i or ride wit me..

    drake can buy another ovo sweatshop but can't make something close to pimp juice...

    You had to include multiple Florida Georgia Line songs and you still think he has a chance at winning

    Why do I even entertain dust heads

    Thankfully I’m in the real world where Drake’s level of music made him the most iconic rapper of his time and Nelly’s level of music had him doing BET Reality shows after a decade

    I didn’t have to, I literally just made a list of his 15 highest charting songs and his 5 biggest features lol.

    You could swap those out for Pimp juice, here comes the boom, or other lower charting ones. He’s still winning

    I agree with this,dude was a hitmaker but was never a heavy hitter,respected mogul/rapper like a Jay-Z or Nas back then.

    I swear to you I'm not knocking Nelly either. Pimp Juice is one of the best rappers of all time, his hit making suggest just that.

    However, we gotta take our opinions out of this.

    Drake is compared to Hov, Kanye, etc. came up independently and then under Lil Wayne, etc. he's respected as a really really good rapper and came into this s*** being known for the bars as well as the hooks and melodies.

    Nelly wasn't that. And that's the truth.

    Nelly couldn’t even beat Nicki Minaj in a Verzuz

    Jay-Z has willingly hopped on 3 of Drake's albums

    He has over 20 records rapping alongside Lil Wayne

    If you were outside when Nelly was hot, and in 09' you can EASILY tell the difference.

    This is why the Ja Rule comparison falls flat too. They looked at Drake as like, the next best rapper who could also sing and do hooks.

    Sure but wasn’t the point of this thread that both Nelly and Drake are focused on making pleasing music over critic bait lol.
