1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Secrets with You. I've been hearing from Nelly over the

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: past couple of days, reflecting on his debut album Country Grammar.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: It celebrates its silver twenty fifth anniversary, and Nelly exploded

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: on the scene back in two thousand with his own

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: unique brand of Saint Louis hip hop, which stood out

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: from other artists of that era. But the thing about

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: early two thousands rap was it pretty much every superstar

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: also had a unique style and sound. Not only Nellie,

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: A jay Z and DMX, Luda M and m Jou, Rule,

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne, Fitty Cent and more. Nobody sounded the same.

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: And Nelly believes that individuality came from how artists were

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: discovered then compared to today.

13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: I think in that era you had to buy into

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: the artists themselves. Now a artist can become huge before

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: they even understand what being an artist is. We grew

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: up on the culture first, and then we were a

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: part of it. And I think now, I mean, you know,

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: you catch a viral moment and somebody's huge right away,

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 2: and they don't even under stand totally how to make

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: a song that might have been the third song ever

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: they ever made, and now they're forced to be an artist,

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: which they really don't know how to be an artist.

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: But we come from that era where it was you

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: had to prove yourself to get the deal. Not you

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: got the deal. Now you got to prove that you

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: can keep it. And it's backwards, you know what I'm saying,

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: not saying that it's not worthy, and I don't wish

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: it willn't of anybody.

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: It's just different, and different is precisely what made so

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: many music fans take notice of Nelly that moment they

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: heard any country grammars like Conic singles for the first time.

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280
