Nelly got a chance to hang out and check real life out as he took a break between records, and the insights that he has come up with and learned are far beyond the norm. Nelly decided to bring Chuck D on from Public Enemy to be a part of his album, Brass Knuckles (release date November 13, 2007).

Nelly also has much to say about Don Imus and his nappy head racist comments, basically saying

"'Wait a minute, y'all. Hold up before we pull him off the air. Let's get what we can get out of the situation; because they do it to us every time. Let's think about this; this guy is a moneymaker....How about we fine both of them? Let's fine both of them(Imus and MSNBC) $50 million over the next five years; $10 million a year. ... "Let's start the Don Imus Nappy Negro College Fund"..."And then for the next five years, we're sending brothers and sisters to college off his mistake. And let's hope he does it again next year! So we can get 100 million. Let's provoke him! Somebody call up there and piss him off. "

Whew! Nelly had much to say and wasn't afraid to speak his mind, but then again, as a rapper, Nelly is probably a pro at speaking what is on his heart and not stuttering a bit! That's heavy!
