I respected TP's post, but in defence of Nelly, who gets a lot of flak, he is a really real person. His music is party music and actually quite positive for his genre of hip-hop - he would have more cred if he were more 'gangsta' or hardcore, but he refrains from that. He does a lot of social work and gives back to his community in St Louis and has given his friends jobs in his mini empire, and that's a positive, conscious thing. And, I have to say, he is one of the most down to earth and gracious superstars I have ever interviewed (three times now). He is very humble about his success too. In many ways he is like a lot of young men of his age, still finding his way. Music can be inspirational and positive in many ways maybe? (I love the song too, production is hype!)
