****** Calling “Country Grammar” a “pop record” because it became popular don’t understand the science behind it.

***** really talking about sliding down on somebody block in a Range Rover on the hook

 

[wavycrocket]

Yeah. We not going to let Magic slide for denying Nelly has classic SONGS.

That man trippin. The song Country Grammar is absolutely a classic....and the album is close to it.

Just because it ain’t some hallway raps or G-sht or some lyrical brilliance doesn’t take away from it being a classic song.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Album drops at 12am.

By 12:07 it’s AOTY and classic

Krit was SPOT ON with this skit

 

[supersaiyangod]

So pop songs cant be classic? RIP Michael Jackson.


If a song can be played after its time has passed, it's a classic. 10 years later, 20 years later, still getting played by a massive amount of people, it's a classic.

Songs that got 100m views on YouTube 4 yrs ago aint getting spun right now, so yes there's a difference between popularity in a singular timeframe versus longevity.

Nelly has tracks that have longevity, cuz u can still blast em today and they still go.

Nellyville is probably the classic if he has one.

Nelly shook the world up with that one, undeniable hits on that album. Always thought Nelly was underrated as a lyricist and song writer.

When Nelly made “Country Grammar”...he wasn’t some established artist making a record meticulously aimed at the pop charts. He made a record representing where he’s from and a sound we hadn’t heard before up to that point. It was fresh and refreshing. The song blew organically. It was a hood favorite and local song, then regional before it blew up and became “pop”.

The song is popular because it’s a great f’n song.

That song was on 106 & Park for so damn long. Don’t know if I know another song that ran the summer like that one.

We can all also agree that futures Ds2 is a classic right

It’s not even my personal favorite future record but it is the pinnacle of the legendary future, and has banger after banger.

 

[Mark Antony]

Who's she texting on an Excel spreadsheet though

Her accountant because Nelly just gave her the wild boost.
