When Nelly first debuted nationally in summer 2000, he
seemed like a novelty, but it quickly became apparent that
he was, in fact, an exceptional artist, a rapper with truly
universal appeal. He wasn't from the East or West Coast,
and wasn't really from the Dirty South, either. Rather,
Nelly was from St. Louis, a Midwestern city halfway between
Minneapolis and New Orleans. His locale certainly informed
his rapping style, which was as much country as urban, and
his dialect as well, which was, similarly, as much Southern
drawl as Midwestern twang. Plus, Nelly never shied away
from a pop-rap approach, embracing a singalong vocal style
that made his hooks incredibly catchy. As a result, Nelly
became an exceptional rapper capable of crossing all
boundaries, from the Di More...

Review about Nelly
Tip Drill | Reviewer: Nicole
------ About the song Tip Drill performed by Nelly
I think the song is demeaning all together. I think the women in the video should be held accountable for their own actions and not the artist or the person making the video. The women knew what the song was about before they were in the video. If not, it is their own fault that they were too lazy to read and listen to the lyrics before jumping on the set and shaking their asses. In other aspects, I think Nelly couldn't have possibly been raised to respect women. But this is a whole new america, and women have rights, and we can speak for ourselves and do what we want and make our own money........ basically what Im trying to say is there is no one to blame for these womens part in this video but theirselves....Im still not saying its okay for Nelly to make a song like this, but this is AMERICA!!!! (FREEDOM OF SPEECH)
Female rappers point of view and clarification | Reviewer: MrsBlackDyamond
------ About the song Tip Drill performed by Nelly
First off, Nelly had given us the definition of a tip drill. A tip drill is not an ugly faced girl with a big bootie!! What inspired these lyrics was Nelly at a strip club and he saw a stripper with a mask on. He couldn't see her face. He's basically saying I can't see what you look like, but I can see what that ass looks like, and that ass is whats causing me to throw tips(money). All pretty girls were in the video, so thats not what a tipdrill is. I am very lovely and my but is big and girls that don't posses these features love to hate and holler tipdrill.
These ladies are helping the men justify this unacceptable behavior by contributing to it. You won't see me in the video, because I'm not okay with it. These women are not illiterate, they know what they want. No one forced them to do it. This is hte way they want to be portrayed, for some of them it is a lifestyle. I am atrue feminists but I will not blame the guys on this account. Us women are not clueless, wehave our own minds. myspace.com/mrsblackdyamond aka "Queen of Compton"

Unbelievable | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Tip Drill performed by Nelly
I see what all the fuss was about surrounding the Tip Drill video now. These lyrics are terrible. There is nothing creative about them, and they promote unsafe sex (the rubber might slip), women selling their bodies for men, and men treating women like commodities without any accountability. This is not okay--not the men treating women this way nor the women accepting that men should treat them this way.
Oh yeah and I'm a man, and I'm still saying this. There is nothing wrong with healthy sexuality--not even non-monogamous sexuality so long as it is all safe and consensual--but there is something wrong with men treating women like objects and women accepting objectification. I have hot sex with anyone I'm with--but I don't need to treat them like an object to get that action. And I wouldn't want to.
This song is disgusting. If it was the least bit creative, I might at least give it props for good songwriting--but the songwriting is terrible.

------ About the song Tip Drill performed by Nelly
It's interesting how most people that have put up a review blame the women in the video's for subjecting themselves, and being portrayed in this way. But we often forget who writes these songs, and who shoots the videos. The America we live in today might seem very forward thinking, but we often forget that civil rights only happened about 40 years ago which is not that long. Womens rights much the same have only been around for about what 30 years or so. But really folks how far have we come, when people like nelly, snoop, jada-kiss and others objectify women in their videos.
It's not that women get to choose to be shown in this light, it's that this society is a male dominated one. If you really wanna educate yourself to the sexism and homophobia in rap watch a movie called "Hip Hop Beyond Beats and Rhymes" then come on here and tell me you like the video.
Another thing, how can some of you be so hypocritical and say that you disagree with the lyrics but you love the video. Thats like saying i hate guns but i love watching someone get shot. How much sense does that make?
I really hope that someone takes the time to read what i had to say, because i spent the time reading all the other comments. If you are wondering who I am, well I am a White Russian Jew immigrant. And yes i am a male, and if that has any inflection on your opinion of what i said, i really hope someone out there takes something positive aways from what i said.
Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments, i have a ton more to talk about.
