Out of nowhere twitter explodes with a rivalry between Nelly and Drake to see who will take the title of best hip hop rapper.
Once again is seems as if this year is a year full of battles between people in the music industry so of course, they had to bring in two new faces.
While the chose is nothing that can be compared, fans of both artist took to twitter to defend who they think is better.
The fans that are saying Nelly is a generation that came up listening to his music while those who grew up with Drake say Nelly was cool for a while but Drake remains in the limelight.
The debate continues on social media with a few tweets below for you all to look at.
If we consumed music the same way we did in 2001 today do you think Drake would do similar numbers to Nelly at his peak?

Nelly was super popular for a few years.
Drake is pushing up on a decade straight.
Why is this a thing?
