Nelly is a legend he made it a trend to have a band-Aid on the cheek, I remember having it myself back in school

He’s right. This was before the whole internet rapper era took off.

Nas ain:t even a mainstream rapper

But Nas did go multi-plat a couple times in that era.

It Was Written went triple
I Am went double

I am glad he mention Ja Rule because he was a beast back then

99-02, Rule ran that shit.

I'm surprised he forgot to mention Top 3 cause he had the game on lock during that era before he locked down the podcast game

DMX was running shit from 98-2001
