Favorite Nelly couplet: that one in "Number One" where he rhymes "real hip-hop" with "album flop" (that's noun-verb to you).
The line is actually "I'm tired of people judging what's real hip-hop / Most of the time it be them n****z who f**kin' album flop." But the cheesy pop radio station back home bleeps the bad words, so it sounds like: "... / most of the time it be them [pause] who [half a beat] album flop!"
And the funny thing is the line actually sounds better with the letter pause -- it adds emphasis to "... album flop." Nelly should have written it that way.
Makes me wax nostalgic for male roommates...wait! Still got one. This looks good enough for Haloween: http://www.internationalmale.com/Parent.asp?product=I924Ux&dept%5Fid=10200

My goodness this is an odd comment.
