Nelly

Real Name : Cornell Haynes, Jr.
Birthdate : November 2, 1973
Sign : Scorpio
Hometown : Dallas, Texas, USA

--- Nelly Biography :

Nelly spent his early years in Spain and moved to St. Louis, Missouri for elementary school. Nelly’s parents divorced when he was eight years old. Nelly admitted he used to get into a lot of fights but by the time he started high school he was into baseball instead. Nelly’s passion for baseball helped keep him out of trouble. In 1993 Nelly left his gritty St. Louis neighborhood and settled in the suburban area of University City. Nelly continued to work on his baseball skills and formed a rap group called the St. Lunatics with school pals Kyjuan Ali, Murphy Lee and his little brother City Spud. Two years later Nelly and crew released a 12-inch single called Gimme What Ya Got, which sold almost 10,000 copies. Nelly continued with the Lunatics while playing shortstop in the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. At the time, it looked as though Nelly would be a professional baseball player.

The St. Lunatics managed to put out another song called Who’s The Boss, which became a local hit. The song helped their reputation locally but didn’t grab the interest of record companies. The frustrated St. Lunatics decided to try their luck in Atlanta and teamed up with Kula who was managing Mase at that time. Eventually they realized Nelly would have a better chance of scoring a record deal on his own. So with Kula, 19 year-old Nelly attracted Universal Records exec Kevin Law in 1999. Nelly’s career was off like a rocket with the release of his song Country Grammar, which Courtesy of Fox borrows the hook from the children’s song Down, Down, Baby. On June 6, 2000, Nelly released his first full-length album - also called Country Grammar. The album managed to sneak past Eminem and Britney to the number one spot on the Billboard charts on August 26, 2000.

With the release of the song Ride Wit Me Nelly the rapper has secured his spot as a popular rap artist who’s known as much for his signature low-riding pants as he is for his music. Nelly’s second album Nellyville was a huge hit and his third album, Da Derrty Versions : The Reinvention, which is out in November of 2003, is bound to be as huge. Tell your ’rents not to worry - there’s a clean version of Da Derrty Versions available too.

Nelly has his own clothing line called Vokal.

The real Nelly Nell Is from Louisana did Cornell Haynes know that and took the name anyway. Can Cornell Haynes out do the first Nelly Nell in hit making using the same equipment and singers/ other artist. The real Nelly don’t think so.

Nelly, by Anotha Spic From LA. [2009-02-21 16:34:46]

This guy is a bad influence in Hip Hop. I read at http://www.rhapsody.com/nelly that Flo Rida and Soulja Boy are Nelly’s followers. I guess why they’re so wack.

Nelly, by nelly hater [2008-12-07 13:22:08]

This wack ass hoe ain’t even a man ! He is dragqueen and he doesn’t rap da shit. He’s just a cheap ass fuck, he ain’t worth da shit. And he is gay, and he tryed to fuck Lil Weezy, but he didn’t wanted to. And he is as ugly as hell, he looks like monkey (or rat, or horse). In freestyle he can’t beat da woman. Hope he will die soon, he is so plastic that he looks like Barbie. He can’t come close to fire, cuz he would melt down. And he can’t fuck anyone cuz he hasn’t got a dick =)

Nelly I think when it comes to rapping you are not the best or worst. Some of the shit you do is clean while the other shit is average. But deep down I think you a pussy. You run around with a bandade on your cheek and rep St. Louis. Yo, if I ever see you in person no guns, no knives, no other no niggas, or no weapons I would woop yo ass. You might be fit and shit but I know I can knock yo frail ass out BITCH. You dont want to see me in the hands nigga.

Nelly is my favorite rapper/singer of all times, people can hate all they want but he is the most original rapper that is out now because he is not hiding behind some fake image he’s being who he really is and wants to be ! I am the biggest fan ever, even bigger than those girls that lust over him.
