Have you ever really heard good music? Now think again, you have only heard good music if you have heard Nelly. Nelly is more than some fast rapping thug from the S.T.L., for those of you that aren’t avid Nelly followers that’s, St. Louis. I look at Nelly for more than his music. I look to him for his personality, outlook on life and most of all his examples of how he lives his life. Also the lyrics in his song inspire me to live my life just as I do. These are only a few reasons for my love of music and Nelly.
First off Nelly has a great personality. You might see it on MTV, BET, or wherever your paths might cross with him. My first encounter with Nelly’s new style of rap came at the end of my junior year in high school. I was sitting in my room on my computer and I saw his spanking new song “Country Grammar” on M.T.V., from that point on I was hooked. I immediately called one of my good friends and had him burn a c.d. for me with that song on it.
After I received that c.d. I listened to it until I knew every word from the main vocals to the bumping beats on this lyrical genius. Some say this man is only a “rapper” to some but an icon to my-self. After about three weeks it finally came Nelly’s first album came out, titled “Nelly, Country Grammar.” My day of delight was finally here; I picked it up and hour before our family trip to Florida. The trip was thirteen hours long, and thirteen sleepless hours and eight AA batteries later, I had listened to the c.d. to the point of no return. I was hooked on Nelly.
The Essay on Window Washer Life Stanza Song
"When I fall" is a lyrical song written by Steven Page and Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies. It is about a window washer who is at a critical moment in his life. The song is structured in such a way that a progression and transformation is seen in the window washers troubles from worrisome to life threatening. The window washer is the persona of the poem, and in the first stanza he expresses a ...
I had that c.d. for almost a year before the next c.d. was to hit the store shelves. Of course I was first in line for the opportunity to get my Nelly hungry hands on his new album, which included his posse “The St. Lunatics.” The album was titled “Free City” included his brother Murphy Lee, Kyjaun, Ali, City Spud, Tluv, Yella Mac, and Courtney B. This album showcased Nelly’s family, which needless to say in a great addition to his unique sound. Now Nelly is planning to come back with another solo album called “Nellyville” and the release date is not yet set, but the arrival is very anticipated.
August 18, 2001 came around I received sixth row tickets to his concert, this was going to be the best day ever! The concert was great; I never had so much fun in my meek little life. Words I had never heard in his songs made me want to know more about him. There are two lines of his songs I live by. The first is “…I’m cocky on the mic but humble in real life, taking nothing for granted….” That just shows that all rappers act or put on a front that the are tough, but Nelly can admit that he talks tough but really he is not like that. Then the second lyric is ” I am numba one, two is not a winner and three nobody remembers.” This example shows to always work for the top and never accept anything less than the best. As the concert came to an end I went to the concession and got a Nelly t-shirt. That night I went to Meijers, while walking out of the store a group of three guys yelled a few choice words about my shirt. As I shrugged of their comments like dandruff on my shoulder, I got to my car they jumped me from behind, putting me in head lock. At this point I realized they had a knife, I still don’t know if he was trying to stab me or cut my shirt off, but in the position he had me when he went to cut I kept blocking it with the back of my forearm. I now have five major gashes in my arm with a slew of other tiny scars.
Even after this event most would say it’s just not worth it if this is going to continue to go on. Although this attack set me back a little I still sport my Nelly shirt proud. I just think of what he would do in a situation such as mine, and I knew he would keep going on with what makes him happy. Nelly and rap music in general helps me feel good with the rhymes and lyrics. It soothes my soul to listen to Nelly and music in general.
