Are you high Jason. Nelly is a cookie cutter Pop Rapper who makes disposable music... The most memorable thing he did was get destroyed in a beef with Hip-Hop legend KRS-One (Who shoud get into the hall btw)... No hall for Nelly

Doesn't matter if you like his music or not. The man put up numbers that 95% of rappers will never touch and still puts out hits (although less frequently) nearly 20 years later. Top 5 selling rappers of all time I believe, on the list of top 100 artists of the billboard Hot 100 of all time, multiple Grammys.....dude absolutely deserves to be in the hall of fame

Nelly is a vibe!! Nelly has crossed over to so many styles of music and have written music for other artists. And all walks of people knows his music when they hear it!!
