Rap-Up.com || Album Cover: Nelly

Unlike his chest-baring cover for his last album Brass Knuckles, Nelly looks casual on the front of his sixth LP 5.0, pulling into stores November 16. Wearing a crisp white tee, a loosened belt on his denim jeans, and a pair of shades, the “Just a Dream” hitman stares off into the distance on the artwork for the album, named partially after his favorite car. “[The Mustang] 5.0 was always one of my dream cars,” he told Rap-Up.com.

The St. Louis rapper recently shot a clip for his next single, the Dr. Luke-produced “Move That Body” featuring T-Pain and Akon, and has lined up appearances on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Chelsea Lately” during his release week.

What the hell is this? He always wears a white tee or wife beater. Nelly could’ve came harder with the album cover.

This cover isnt good could have taken more time for it and made it more marketable it looks like it could be a cover for an artists first album and Nelly is on his 5th. Looks very cheap.

Okay, the cover sucks, but based off “Just A Dream”, “Move That Body”, & “Tippin in The Club”, the album won’t! Hope Nelly Nell do some decent numbers this time around, I’m definitely gonna buy it

It’s just simple and elegant. Why people are hating on that? If you haven’t noticed, all his albums have a simple cover so calm down. I’m excited for his new album.

This album embodies what Nelly is today and that is a hip hop veteran who is business savy… Track Listing seems cool appears that he was being very cautious this go around album should be good im buying a few copies

^ That’s probably why Rap-Up didn’t post it. SMH at these fans spreading false info.
