Nelly Says He Was Shocked At Not Being On BET's 'Top 10 Rappers Of The 21st Century List'. "What They Were Saying Didn't Make Sense, Men & Women Lie, Numbers Don't" [Video]
Ever since BET dropped it's "Top Ten Rappers Of The 21st Century" list, it's been debated from coast to coast by critics, fans and artists, whether or not it is fair and accurate.
St Louis rapper Nelly was left off the list. Even though his first two albums 'Country Grammer', released in 2000, and 'Nellyville' released in 2002, moved more than 15 million units combined.
Nelly sat down with Grapejuice.net to talk about BET's snub.
"It's a funny thing, you try not to take it seriously because obviously it is an opinion," Nelly said. "But when you look at things like that, what was the criteria? I don't get what it was being judged on. Some of it from what they were saying didn't make any sense. Cause it was like, they were judging one guy for this, then the other guy would come along and they would pretty much switch it around. I was pretty shocked, like one person told me, men and women lie, numbers don't. I wasn't expecting to be number one, but I thought I could have gotten mentioned."
Do you guys agree with Nelly? Should he have gotten a spot on the list based on his track record in sales and making hits?

What happened to Jay-Z? Certainly he should be included somewhere in Speedhustle's Top 10... I know he seems to be relaxing right now (in retirement or what have you) but we can't possibly forget the contributions he's made to the 21st Century... (especially with Bey on his side ) =*)

Based on what the criteria was he should have at least got honorable mention if not be on the list .Lil Wayne was out in the 90's but with the Hot Boys,which was with Cash Money.
