Damn, I forgot all about Nelly. Can't even remember him doing shit besides that bullshit ass sweat/suit album that I aint even listen to. Niggas really hate Cole on the IC and act like in 2011, the majority of active/young hip hop listeners don't get their music from the internet.

LOL.......Twilight Zone. Next niggas gonna say Ja Rule more relevant than Big KRIT or Curren$y

Acting like niggas runnin home everyday to watch music videos on 106 & Park and TRL.

oh ok, you heard just a dream for the first time today
that makes nelly less relevant
well i ain't never heard in the morning
so i win



i don't hate j.cole
i just don't see the hype
he doesn't bring anything new to the table
his rhymes are mediocre and he seems like a try hard
every song i hear from him he seems as if he has a hip hop legacy in his mind
instead of trying to make a good song
just a ol rappin ass nigga
a ol, "i studied these albums and hip hop fans love them so ima pattern myself after them" type nigga
the nigga is nowhere near wack tho
i'll never say that
but he ain't special as his fans seem to think by any means

so who brings somethin new to the table in your eyes?

If more people are listening to the other artist's music...than yes. It doesn't matter you're on TV.

Drake was one of the most relevant rappers in 2009, despite not having a music video on air until 5 months after So Far Gone flooded the internet in Feb. 2009. Would you argue that Nelly or some other washed up rapper on TV in 2009 was more relevant than Drake?

waiting.....

Those of you who think Nelly is more relevent than J.Cole in 2010/11 need to find another genre to be passionate about.


If people on this board bump Nelly, I need to leave.


What happened to hiphop?

I'm THAT guy...

If the nigga had a number1 hit he would be, is it that hard for you to understand?

big win for j cole. he is more popular than an "irrelevant' nigga. imma put a star on that nigga report card. i mean thats the whole spirit of hip hop right? competition? aint no better feeling than knowing you are more relevant than someone below your weight class. hip hop hooray for moral victories! thats the etheral spirit that is shared at roc nation records.

you're still fucking stupid for trying to say that cole will have a better career than nelly
fuck are you basing that off?
the fact that you like his music won't account for 9 million sold, grammy nominations, countless #1 singles and supberbowl performances
i mean
come on, b
be dead ass serious right now
9x plat first album, 6x plat second album, 4x plat on 2 albums at the same time (3x for sweat, 1x for suit), a gold album, and a gold compilation album
that's 20 million sold, b
20 fuckin million
over a span of 8 years nelly sold 20 million albums
and you think just cuz you like cole's music that he's gonna surpass this?
20 million sold in 8 years is not how i define a flash in the pan artist, doggie

Never said Cole would sell more records than Nelly...dont twist my words.

I said Cole had potential to be more respected in Hip Hop then Nelly. I said Cole was a true artist & if he got the right single could be around for a long time and that Nelly was a trend from the early 2000s. That's what I said & I stand behind it. Aint no Hip Hop legends biggin up Nelly but....plenty of Industry niggas gave Cole that respect....because they respect him as an artist.

the streets are full of cars with radios that plays nelly song that helped him get a top 10 hit. meanwhile those same streets with the radios didnt have enough interest in Who Dat so it crashed and burn.

you said his career would be better and that he'd be around longer
8 years is a long time
and i'm not talkin about just bein around for 8 years
i'm talkin about 8 years droppin multiplat albums at a consistent rate
you think cole will surpass this based of him being "a true artist"
whatever the fuck that is
nigga seems like another rapper to me
