Nelly, Cedric The Entertainer & Becky Hammon Talk WNBA and the Hardest Era in Hip Hop | The Shop S7

Nelly is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs

Nelly isn’t lying at ALL. I’m 34 so that’s my childhood. Jayz, EM, Nas,Luda,50, Ja, DMX, Wayne, Missy, Fab, fat Joe, lil Bow wow, T.i, Busta, OutKast, Trick daddy, Kanye, Game, Snoop, Chingy, Master P, Jeezy lil Jon, Mike jones and Paul wall. it was very competitive early 2000’s and you actually had to had creativity and Bars. Today rap is absolute trash. Not even rap is rock. And every region back then sounded different. What a concept. Individuality. Back then hits were actually hit records. Some punk sitting in his grandma living room mumbling is a hit now. Rap is dead 2024

This could have gone on for another hour!!! I really enjoyed this. Nelly, Cedric & Becky were amazing!

Nelly is absolutely right. I was only 11 years old when Country Grammar came out and competition was fierce. Everybody was different so it was hard to stand out and hard to get that number one spot but everybody was still successful.

Nelly: the first person to leave his chair on The Shop 🤣 so glad the squad is back!

Im from the Lou, and Im proud! Nelly has always held us down. Back in the day, a couple of times I was able to party in the same spots with him. One of those events him and Ashanti came to. This was like 2006. Smart phones weren't out yet. Those were the days errbody just having fun... no social media...no selfies...we just would kick it hard and have good times! Much respect to Nelly! He held his own in the toughest era of Hip Hop the "Platinum Era" 98-2006.

Becky is so goated.... that story about sitting in the media room and "if you don't ever have to lose that means you can't ever win" soooo good

The 2000s was a battlefield for the title of who was the most creative and cultural kingpin. Cam’ron, DMX, Ghostface Killah, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Jadakiss, T.I., The Game, Chamillionaire, Clipse, Outkast, and several others truly made it a capital moment. Plus back then, there were anthems. Many Men, Ante Up, 99 Problems, Still Tippin, Ridin Dirty, What You Know, Jesus Walks, Knockin Doors Down, Bombs Over Baghdad, Loose Yourself, etc.

Nelly looks genuinely happy and ☝🏾wealthy dude.

I loved every bit of this conversation. The mixture of basketball, coaching, music, comedy, acting, therapy, raising daughters and making money. Excellent show Maverick and Paul.

I love conversations and I love Nelly and Cedric!

Nelly is telling the absolute truth During that era, you had artists like Nelly, Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Outkast, DMX, 50, T.I., Lil Wayne, Common, Missy, Eve, Juvenile, Ludacris, Kanye, Bow Wow, Fabolous, Dipset, Diddy, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Clipse, Master P, Chingy, Big Tymers, B.G.(CMR days), Ja Rule, Jeezy, The Game, Busta, The Lox, Fat Joe, Three 6 Mafia, Trick Daddy, Trina and Lil Jon who was putting out very dope music that was very creative while having dope bars as well. That era just like the 90s are very memorable as well.

@27:11mins = THE MONEY SHOT! Nelly & dem be explaining GENERATIONAL WEALTH; EQUITY; ASSETS LIABILITIES 💰

This was an amazing, funny and entertaining conversation! A lot gems was dropped in this one! I’m also glad that they addressed the “Katt situation”

Becky in the shop!!!!

It's good to have 2 of the best from my hometown of St Louis in Ced and Nelly!! Nelly ain't lying abt his 1st album having to compete with legends like DMX, Luda, Jay-Z and others during the early 2000s!
