Since Nelly’s incredible rise in the early 2000s, the St. Louis rapper who made it cool to rock band-aids has become a popular lyrical reference in hip-hop. For the newest episode of 'Between The Lines,' Nelly broke down some of those lines and gave his take on some of the lyrics that have alluded to him over the years. During the interview, the rapper said it’s a “blessing” to get named-dropped by his peers and discussed songs by artists like Tyler, the Creator, J. Cole, and Young Thug. In honor of the 20th anniversary of his debut album 'Country Grammar,' Nelly will be performing the project in its entirety on 7/25 6pm PST / 9pm EST as part of MelodyVR’s 'Live From LA' series.
