The Nelly vs KRS-One Appreciation Thread

[5 Grand]

First of all, Criminal Minded is one of my favorite albums.

But KRS was talking reckless and was washed up by the time this battle happened.


KRS - Ova Here dissing Nelly




Roc The Mic (Remix)




You Don't Really Want It - KRS One (Response to Roc The Mic)





Basically, Nelly sold 9X platinum and KRS flopped.

Then Nelly went on to release 2 albums, Sweat and Suit that debuted at #1 and #2 on the same day.

I didnt even kno this beef happened.

@5 Grand who won?

 

[Black_Samson]

Y’all may not like it but KRS shot himself in the foot thinking Nelly was a country bumpkin with a limited vocabulary.

Saw an easy target like he usually does.

I’ll just say KRS didn’t end Nelly’s career the way he thought would happen

Yeah that's how it started.

Nelly made a song called I'm #1

KRS had already made a song called I'm Still #1 in 1988. So KRS tried to diss Nelly because Nelly said, "I'm Number 1".

Nelly also had a line in the song that said, "I'm tired of people talking about Real Hip Hop/Half The Time it be the ones who's album flopped.

KRS took offense to that line and that's how the beed started.


Here's KRS's song, I'm Still #1 which was a banger back when I was in high school.

No disrespect to KRS but I never really rocked with him.

No disrespect to KRS but I never really rocked with him.

His last solid album was also his last album with a major label, which came out in 1997.






After I Got Next, he went independent. In his interviews he says he makes more money per album doing it independent. He can tour and do shows and sell new CDs for $20 and keep most of the profit.

However, he also hasn't had a hit record since 1997.
