Is nelly music commercial? A lot people say that after his first cd nelly passed by hip-hop/rap to pop. What ya thing about that? Holla me back!

nelly is more hip hop than justin timberlake

Nelly is more to the pop side than hiphop in my opinion. But he has a different style, so you can count that as hiphop with a different style.

he cleary is hiphop, not very good but he is.

i bought country grammar :D and never liked Nelly since!

i loved his first two singles.. e.i and country grammar but now i hate him !
i think he is more pop than rap. although i agree... he could be considered as a different style of rapping !

Nelly is marketing his pop! Nelly seems to be marketing his pop. That might have been an insult, to Nelly! What I meant to say was;

Nelly is marketing is music, Nelly seems to be marketing his music. He believes it's rap, he feels it's rap.
I'm not necessarily calling Nelly a faker, but I don't think he's true to his music. That probably might be my own opinion. It's not pure, he's not pure, it's like he's almost pretend, or he is pretend.
Or pretend? "Unreal" Not real.

You decide....:confused:

Am I right, or wrong....

I´d say that nelly is hiphop, but in a alternative way, cuz the beat is a lil' pop'd...

I like his music a lot, and i think he's an awesome freestyler...

I think u right cause nelly do evrything less rap music. Since his first album til his last 1, I didn't earth 1 true rap song, but maybie I'm wrong I don't know... That's my opinion 2.

Nelly has got to go......

nelly is trash

nelly aint either..............
he's shit........................

i aint a fan of Nellyz

he mixes in both hip hop and pop, id say more pop, with the collabz he does n stuff, but gotta respect how far hes come, and he did help the music get up a level, each artist contributes in some way :rolleyes:

many people say nelly is pop cos his style is so different from most hip hop. coming from St Louis gives his style a kind of jazzy feel to it. that dont mean its pop tho, it jst makes it kinda unique. nelly is a good rapper, and whats good about him is he doesnt say fuck or shit or bitch every 2 lines/

hell yea, hes pop.

i think his more pop the hip hop

He's neither...

Pop music isn't a genre, Pop is just short for Popular, anything can be Pop music.

I'd say Nelly does dance music...

nelly.... he's like hip-hop and pop put together....he's HIP-POP....lol....

You have just created a new style of music. Hip-Pop, congrats.

Nelly has already before classed his style as "Hip-Pop"

like nas with his "Street-Hop"

Well excuse me..............

Nelly is wack. I was loving it when The Blast Master KRS-One killed him.

Nelly isnt Hip Hop!!He doesnt belong to Hip Hop culture!!He made the fucking remix of "Girlfriend" with N'SYNC!!!After,he protrays The decadence of half-dressed porn with straight bitches in the ''Tip Drill'' video!!!Fuck that punk!

Damn,KRS fucked up nelly good! :D

He's hop hop. Just because his music isnt about how he was brought up, killing niggas over dumb shit, or putting morals in his music doesnt make him commercial. He could if he want to but prolly 50% of it would be lies, then all of yall would be on his dick like you are now with hate. Nelly has the choice what he wants to do with his music, not the critics.

"Commercial" was put in the rap world by white people. I aint talkin about the music but the meaning of the word the way we use it. I swear if those white kids never sterotyped rap about being about bitches, hoes, and bling bling, everyone would respect Nelly for what he's doin.

Yall bein so close-minded on "real" music that its just dumb. Its cool if you can relate to the music you listen to, but to cirticize anything thats not "real" is just bullshit. Hip Hop is hip hop, not "Tell us your life story".

if i ever see anyone flapping their arms and acting like they are wings and they are an eagle to nelly's new song "Flap ya wings" I will presume the person is retarded.

I think that Nelly is more Hip-Hop

I havent heard any "freestyles" from Nelly. I can only imagine what they are like. Well I can't say that he has no freestyle skills until I hear one of em. So if you have a link to download one of "Nelly's tight freestyles" let me know. I wanna see what the great mc from the midwest has to spit about. LOL

^^agree totally

Just bcoz nelly dnt rap continuisly on all of his singles and rap about "av been shot nine times n am a gangster" dnt mean he aint hip hop ye fair enough if he has workd wiv n sync but he rapd on that record and just bcoz justin timbalake isnt an hip-hop artist and nelly has workd wiv him doent mean ya can label nelly pop like justin, he workd wiv kelly rowland & pharrel etc. so does that make him bk 2 hip-hop???!!!

there are rap tracks on nellys albums and 50 cent doesnt rap all the time doesnt that make him not a rapper??

lock please, wtf
