  19. If you ask shawty WadsyaMYSPACE iz you can find out her name, sign, and whether she got a man all at one time!

  20. SUPERstarshine

    @ 23 lol

  22. tdot stand up

    DAMN i forgot how FINE nelly is! i didnt even like that song, but i guess i do.. his fine-ness takes over in the video lol. SO FINE.

  23. LilU87

    Good comeback for Nelly. He came out with a nursery rhyme. Can’t wait to hear the album. I guess his music is wack enough to sell millions of records. Who else has put out two albums on the same day and had both of them sell 1 million plus?? No one in the game like Nelly. He has his own lane unlike most of these clowns.

  24. OK LAST POST CUZ MY NIGGA FINNA KILL ME, BEEN ON HERE W AY 2 MUCH 2 DAY, LOL@#8, OUCH, CORNELL, I WAS WONDERIN WHAT HIS REAL NAME WAS, HE WAS A CUTIE, HEY NESHA GURRRLLL, DIS SITE LIKE KRYPTONITE HUH, I B ON IT ALL NITE, MAN I B ON IT EVERYDAY STR8 UP!

    I was really off. LOL.

  48. WhatIThinkIs

    Dang, can I spell?

  49. Awwww little Nelly. I thought it was Fabolus for some reason.

  50. ugly kid——sexy man
    hot song——wack video

    @#8

    i was think the same thing about dat nose…im glad he grew into it ulike KRS-ONE

  51. Lihara

    its the beat from ALL MY LIFE from KCI & JOJO

  52. Softest Place On Earth

    He was cute. I do not like that song or video. Nelly gone have to come better to get me to buy the cd.

  53. B to tha

    I knew that pic was young Nelly…

    @23- SO TRUE, that was funny…

    The song is def radio play! I don’t listen to radio so… whtev. My concern is, are rappers allergic to dark skin sistas? Nelly seem to have only one that could be considered dark skin. I’m brown skin and even I have a complaint about these videos only having “light brights” all up and thru them. It’s crazy cause I was just listening to and watching Gorilla Zoe and as he states, “thick chick, long hair, yellow, white, red, brown.” – everything but dark, huh? What’s the deal? Is it that dark skin sistas aren’t
    auditioning for these videos or are these brothas just color struck?
