Hey Knox, loved this video…very informative for those who weren’t around for pop culture in the early 2000’s. I personally don’t think there was ever a “beef” between these two. Rather a mutual understanding that…at the time…they were both in the prime of their career’s. Competition was cranked up to 1000%. Thing that’s great about this…it never got disrespectful. Nobody had to be called out directly. Nobody stepped on another person’s name for self benefit. Both artist were able to enjoy their prime and get the bag without lasting repercussions Fans of both artists got great music…the best that both artist had to offer at that time. This is what healthy competition looks like.
Loved this breakdown- took me down memory lane real fast - I remember when country grammar dropped and people were putting bandaids on their cheeks 😂😂 ahhh too funny but Em will always be my #1 ❤❤ thanks for breaking that all down- ur the best
Keep it up knox! You're doing great things man! Love that you broke that down for those who didn't know and clear up some of the air from the videos of people who just spread rumors 🙏

@@kjnewman7518 The show's called Rap City Tha Bassment and they were in Eminem's basement for that episode as Big Tigger says himself at the start of the freestyle. Know the actual facts before trying to correct something
Loved the video. I remember something about this and I think they went along with it to boost their own sales. I think Nelly slowed down not long after while Em just got bigger and bigger until nobody was on his level.
I grew up in this Era and had NO IDEA about this beef. Admittedly I wasn't that deep into Em but I knew about Nelly but Ludacris was my favorite artist at the time. Always educational from u Knox! Keep up the great work!
@@richdude8150 Eminem lived in that mans head rent free. Dude even said he couldn't have sex without a em song coming on the radio and it speaking to him 😂😂😂
I think that was a little tap at Nelly for sure. Great breakdown as always Knox!!! I had never seen that TRL clip of Nelly before, that just put everything into context for me b/c I was aware of all the other stuff. Great, great stuff. One thing I think you could have added to give further context of Nelly’s success at the time was Jay-Z’s line from ‘Excuse Me Miss’…”Only dudes movin’ units, ‘Em, Pimp Juice, and us”.
Ja Rule responded to that line too. On Black Child's song Bang Bang Bang "For those who check SoundScan, check again, it's Rule, Pimp Juice and Eminem" Ja Rule was selling more than Jay-Z at the time
Yes I definitely remember them TRL days.. for sure. I had almost missed that completely... I had only got wind about it when Tre Little had mentioned it in "Malcolm X" which was a Song he was featured on by Royce Da 5"9" dissing Eminem and D12 back in the day... Speaking of which, It would be interesting to hear you dig into those disses Royce and d12 exchanged with each other back in the day
Also in Eminem’s “No Apologies” he references Nelly. “… This dynamite stick buried the wick, it's gonna explode any minute Some lunatic lit it and it's not Nelly, Do not tell me to stop yelling, when I stop selling, I quit so, Stop dwelling an I am not felling…”
Amazing video keep them coming. There is another Eminem beef out there that I'm sure not many people know about and that is his beef with Insane Clown Posse and Esham ( it was mostly with ICP) that accord around 1999 to about 2003 or 2004. I don't know if you have covered that one yet or not but it would be interesting to get your take and perspective on it specially a breakdown/reaction to some of the diss songs that where made then.
@@ironik4400 well I figured it would be known by Em’s fans but I was kinda suggesting for it was one to get Knox’s view on it and second kinda have it exposed I guess to more people who didn’t know. Yes the beef has squashed for a long time now and how it get squashed was unique as well. Plus with Em referencing them in some of his songs in a positive way kinda shows how far he has come since the beef.
More of an homage to Nelly, who is still crushing numbers with touring and country crossover hits. He’s one of the few artists from then that still makes millions every year. He just launched a new moonshine brand called MoShine and it’s fantastic!
It’s not Em’s fault no one wanted the smoke. He begged Joe Budden to pick him up the mic. Dissed Tee Grizzy and then Grizz apologized. But you’re right Knox. Remember in Dilemma when Nelly used MS Word to put in Kelly Rowland’s phone number? 😆
I think Nelly knew what he said. Realized Em heard it. And dropped a line inviting. And was smart and said I ain’t have any beef other than what the media has whispered to me. And he made a grown up decision to take the tap and accept that he made the mistake of buying in and said what he said in TRL. Know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold em. And we good about that round here lol
I wish you would do a "beef" day where you go over various beefs in music. Someone different each week or a specific beef like youve done with all the Eminem ones.
Eminem and ICP had beef and threw a few diss songs back and forth towards each other which was pretty entertaining. You can find the diss tracks here on TH-cam.
Great video I'm from that generation as well and it flew over my head didn't know that Nelly even said that and I used to watch TRL funny😂😂 as it sounds i never scene that episode
Well Knox, when Nelly dropped country grammar he started beef with wish bone from bone thugz n harmony at that time. How it started was that the group felt that Nelly was biting wish bone's flow. So my guess is that Eminem was giving credit to Nelly for how squashing a problem that would of got into some beef.
I heard Hi my name is on a Car Stereo vid. There was a Hatch with a Sub that spun or something like that. I remember the day. I remember Country Grammar too, I definitely bumped that. Nelly jumped the shark with the reindeer bars. 😂
Knox u r a tru one Call it it the way it is straight down the middle no punches just facts thats y u and Stevie are my guys im form Detroit I've been to the hip hop stores saint Andrews and watch this man earn the respect of his Piers out side Osborn high school battles lunch room battles I watch this man grow from apad one apprentice to the Jedi he is hip hop no matter of his color or race I c a man his character and skills 💯 and I saw Nelly coming the same way j saw 50th coming Nelly skill mite not be on em level but u can take his skill for granted he just be came more Hollywood then rapper but all in all Nelly was popping 2000 and 2001 not to mention the apple bottom jeans line
Em almost never starts a beef. And the guys at the top not only respect him too much to beef with him, they simply didnt want the smoke. They watched the way he was obliterating anyone who did come at him. Hell, Chris Rock flat out said he was not willing to make jokes about him to avoid the inevitable repercussion. None of the heavyweights in rap wanted to get wiped by the white guy.
Love it Knox! 😀 Can I recommend you listen to someone though? Rhyme Asylum. They disbanded yeeears ago. But some of the tracks they created with the 2 albums released were some insane tunes. Real hip hop.
Especially since Eminem & Ludacris are seen shaking hands in Eminem's Sing For The Moment music video and they even did a commercial together in the mid 2000's
@@camronshean1758 Yeah they was doing the Anger Management Tour at the time. Luda has said in an interview that he would love to do a track with Em. Oh & they was alao in the movie "The Wash" together even tho Ludas appearance was brief

@Knox Hill have you ever heard the song Words Are Weapons by D12? The whole Devil's Night album is incredible and that song, I wanna say addresses some beef D12 had with Limp Bizkit. The bars, the beat, everything. Amazing song. Highly recommend!!
Hi Knox, do you think you could do a video or at least look at an artist called AP West as he is very talented and has very meaningful music with would work very well in a video
The way that you were reference, it actually sounds more sense than that him going after Nelly so I agree with what you’re saying that he was telling the other gentleman I don’t have beef or I’ll give you beef
Being from the STL, a fan of Eminem and Nelly, I remember this very well. Also remember the days of Limewire! I always made sure to buy a Nelly album and…cough…cough…download Eminem on a CD from Limewire. I also remember the hip hop radio stations playing Nelly years before he blew up. He had stuff before Country Grammar. When Nelly became known nationally, everyone from STL was like, finally…people realize how great Nelly is! To this day, I’ll always support and love both and I’m now so old my daughter knows Eminem is my fav rapper
And, myself and family have bumped into Nelly in STL over the years. Even during his peak. Always so nice! My mom was entering the mall at the same time Nelly was (had no idea who he was) and he politely ran ahead to grab the door for her, said “hear you go, mam.” It wasn’t until she saw him in the men’s section, everyone making a fuss, and heard someone mention his name when she realized who he was. She later asked for a pic, and again, he politely said “of course.” I’m still bitter she didn’t ask for an autograph for me because she knew I loved him! 😂 However, I have a feeling Eminem is the same way in Detroit! Much love to both! 🥰
Knoxx you gotta do the Eminem vs. Miilkbone. I was there for it front and center.. I saw the blackball of Milk. Miilkbone was slapping him around and backed by funk flex. Miilkbone was the first to do a Dear Slim. Facts
I remember back during the LimeWire and Kazaa days I would download some lesser know songs and diss tracks from Eminem and one of em was labeled “Benzino, Ja Rule and Nelly diss” and I never understood why they included Nelly in it because there wasn’t a diss towards Nelly in it. I don’t remember what song it was but I never actually heard a diss towards Nelly. Now at least I know there was SOME truth in the title
Eminem and jelly has the same trajectory. They released albums 00, 02, 04. Had their crews. D12 and the Lunatics. Probably just friendly competition because they were battling for that number one spot. They should have collaborated fr.
I remember constantly seeing Detroit Grammer on LimeWire and downloaded a few. That's when I realized it was fake but I remember that TRL episode. And the Reaslist freestyle was playing on the radio with Biggie and 50
I find it funny the narrative that battles have to be in a negative context, Em and others test their skills on tracks with features, like Busta said calm down was the 'case study'. Battle on a track trying to one up each other and make something beautiful. Wu-Tang whole thing was try to better each other in the booth.
Detroit Grammer. I honestly thought it was a Mandela effect as I've never seen or heard it mentioned by anyone else. I too saw it on lime wire and napster and a bootleg Eminem cd which I got for this reason but it never worked!! Nit sure about the Paul thing, in the Malcom X diss by Royce, Trey Little raps - Eminem, Nelly said he would eat you like Candy, so what did you do? Got Paul to go call him up. And Nelly, was very street. Couldn't see him backing down first. In fact he even got 50 cnt to apologise to Ashanti on stage. I dunno, great video, just need to cover the alleged Ludacirs/Eminem beef.
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to support the channel grab your signed merch now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com

Nelly!
Country Grammer is one of the best hip hop albums of all time
I thought that trl clip was after "no apologies"
Complicated jordan
Nelly reminiscing that interview should be like: "remember when i almost got myself into a rap battle with Eminem? What the hell was i thinking?"

Hey Knox, ive been getting into your music, keep it up

The reason why he hasn't beefed with anyone his "size" is because the real mc's know and don't forget he's a battle rapper at heart.
Canibus was not a real MC?
@@richdude8150 I think he means like after Em blew up and modern day stuff. Canibus was a true MC and Eminem made an example out of him

Em has said if your name rhyme with what his writing doesn't mean his dissing you
Waddup Knox, yo can you get together with Stevie Knight and create a top 10 bar spittin' lyricists list. I think you two would create a masterful list
You should definitely give "To Be A Man" by Dax a listen. Especially being a father yourself I think you'd connect well to the message of the song
Well Knox, when Nelly dropped country grammar he started beef with wish bone from bone thugz n harmony at that time. How it started was that the group felt that Nelly was biting wish bone's flow. So my guess is that Eminem was giving credit to Nelly for how squashing a problem that would of got into some beef.
