Nelly Explains His Use Of The Term 'Dirty'

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - Multiplatinum rapper Nelly is currently prepping for the June 25 release of his sophomore album, Nellyville. The set will feature appearances by *NSYNC singer Justin Timberlake, Trina, the St. Lunatics, and Jacob, as well as production by Basement Beats and the Neptunes.

Nelly is somewhat notorious for setting trends and creating his own slang. Journalists recently asked the rapper to explain his use of the term "dirty".

"That's my dirty, you know what I'm sayin'? That's who I do my dirt with," he said. "That's my little partner in crime. That's who I hang with, you know what I'm sayin'? And it went from that and just evolved to, man, I hear everybody saying it. Both coasts--I be on the East Coast, just, like, 'Yo,' down south, but it's a good thing, man, you know what I'm sayin'? That's something you pass on. I watched the 'whoadie' syndrome. It's new lingo. That's what hip-hop do. Hip-hop brings you the new hip--whatever is going on, we bring it to you raw."
