ST. LOUIS, MO  [Tuesday Dec.21.2004]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Some people view Nelly as a commercial rapper, but Nelly rejects that label. In an interview with AllHipHop.com, Nelly says, "I've been able to appeal, but who hasn't? Is 50 [Cent] a commercial rapper? He sold 6 million albums, you know. Jay-Z sold 5 million albums on an album before. And once you get to a certain [point], you are pop music."

The St. Louis rapper adds, "It's funny because a lot of rappers say that, until they achieve that type of success, and then you see a slight change in them. At least mine been the same since day one."
