Nelly Compares Tip Drill To Halle Berry’s Infamous Sex Scene

“You wouldn’t put me on the cover because of the ‘Tip Drill’ video … that’s probably your main focus,” he added. “But yet still, you put Halle Berry on the cover. She’s had a 15-minute sex scene with some white guy in front of a couch … I mean you can’t tell me that ‘Tip Drill’ was worse than watching that sex scene between Billy Bob (Thornton) and Halle Berry. You can’t tell me that. That was longer than four or five minutes. You feel what I’m sayin’?”

Full Story @ SOHH

Do you feel what he is saying? There is a lot to think about when comparing movies to music videos. Monster’s Ball had an, “R” rating to somewhat stop younger audiences from seeing it, while Nelly’s, “Tip Drill,” only came on very late at night. Then again both can be seen on the Internet with ease.

maybe if nelly stopped talking about tip drill people will forget about it, but i think he regrets making the video because it has tarnished his image of being the “bubble gum” rapper he was…

i didnt really understand why he even made that kinda video because he could easily made it a St Lunatics video to take the attention off himself, never the less he is a dumbass

tip drill is nothing like that scene with halle berry. wow, cats are so damn stupid. that video was tasteless and degrading, that was a movie scene where millions were spent and she was ACTING, how dare he compare her artistic ability with nasty hoes shakin their asses for little or no $$$

It got a Question @ Juicy…

Millions are spent on Pornos… The people in porno’s are acting… The Chicks do fake it… we know that. Is it art if they are acting in a porno? Nasty ass hoes gotta eat too LOL! J/P but fo real though…

Honestly… Its like a coin… It’s double sided. Those girls didn’t have to do the video. The credit card swipe was the ladies idea. And Nelly doesn’t keep bringing it up. People keep it in the light. Nelly just wants it to die and move on with his career. I feel em yo. Ever since the Hip Hop versus America thing I got more respect for Nelly. I mean his sister could’ve still been alive if they didn’t hold on to Tip Drill. I swear yo stop blaming all the woes of the world on Rappers. Nelly made a video to entertain people. The ladies in Video didn’t have to be there.

People degrade themselves… So Don’t blame Nelly for those young ladies that went out there and degraded themselves. I don’t know what the big fuss is about. Those ladies are grown enough to know what they did and if they didn’t feel it was degrading why are you worried about it.

As a matter of fact… how bout you Get on the label for releasing that Video…

Thats a nother point that Nelly made a point about. This is a business and you sign a contract. If you dont’ sell records then you are out of a job. That dude is just tryin to do his job and provide a good life for his kids.

Stop crucifying the man… For something thats been done for years… No one said anything about Pac when he did it. No One said anything about Outkast when they did it. So why Nelly?

yea i hated the way “halle had to let a white guy pop her to get an oscar”-jadakiss

but na i cant compare the 2. nelly hired strippers to be strippers in a video. he shouldnt have any regrets about his video. he’s had plenty of videos and thats 1 sex-filled stripper video. i’m sure every rapper would want just 1 of those in the video catalog. made for adults on a late night show.
but halle has talent, studys her craft, and that was a major role that she needed for her career.
the difference is that halle’s movie probably didnt influence lil girls and boys,cuz they wouldnt care to see halle’s movie. but nelly is big wit the kids so his video could have an influence on the girls and boys behavior

I understand his point of view with all honesty. I thought Monster’s Ball was the most degrading thing ever. She had to bone a man on screen to win an Oscar. Thats far worse then the Tip drill video yet she was never reprimanded the way Nelly has. Shoot Oprah is her best friend. Granted Eric Benet said he had sexual problems but shit I would too if I went and watched someone I love fuck another person on screen and call it art. She was flat out naked and having sex on the screen. What Nelly does is music, he entertains, hes an artist. No Nelly videos Ive seen show females butt naked stimulating sex and yelling out “make me feel good”. also “Tip Drill” never won an Oscar. Why not switch Monique with Halle and do the same scene and see if it’s still called art or acting. Nelly’s strippers were paid to be strippers however Halle was paid to be an actress as in actually having lines and playing a role not do a porno segment. The movie was more degrading then all the music videos BET used to play on Uncut combined in one. And I believe she should have won an Oscar for “Losing Isiah” rather then that waste of film called “Monster’s Ball”. If Monster’s Ball is okay and gets praise why not Tip Drill? People need to open their eyes and stop blaming rappers for everything.

@blackstar

oh, i feel what you are saying, but what im saying is, the two cannot be compared u cant compare porn, which is meant to be for sexual entertainment and arousment, to a motion picture used to tell a powerful story. u may disagree, and thats fine, but the two cannot be compared. he needs to stop trying to justify that and call it what it is.

jhustle wrote on November 13th, 2007 at 2:45 pm

Juciy you know you my bey but… I think the point is they both were for entertainment purposes. I know it may be hard to believe but tip drill is entertainment to some. Like you said halle got paid but so did the tip drill girls. So how is it ok for them but not us? don’t just tell hip hop no if you are’nt going to do the same for all of entertainment!!!

juicy wrote on November 13th, 2007 at 3:01 pm

hustle? us? they are not me boo. sorry to say, but im not behind the whole “letting women degrade themselves” thing.and if theat how them girl wanna get they money, tats them. i see all of your points, but like i said before THEY CANNOT BE COMPARED! the scene in Monsters Ball was a love scene. tip drill was bout “it must be yo ass cause it aint yo face!” LOL (had to laugh at that one) u cannot say its the same thing. and as far as children seeing it, thats where parents come in, if people would just be good parents and active in their childrens lives then we wouldnt be having this discussion IMO. TV shouldnt be raising their kids anyway, they should buy some books.

I think that nelly is forgetting he is not important…Halle can make her version of that video right now and she will still be an Oscar winning actress…i’m not sure how he’s comparing anything to anything? boy hush!

Nelly is so stupid for even thinking that he can compare that raggedy ass video to Monster’s Ball. Halle Berry was acting in a movie, dumbass.

No class strippers

Tha Truth wrote on November 13th, 2007 at 4:25 pm

If Nelly didn’t have regrets about making that video he would just say it is what it is…. SOFT PORN. When a person is ashamed of what they did they usually make justifications for it and compare it to lesser evils.

Nelly own up to it, be a man and take responsibility for your art.

He’s only on the defensive because black women who were his core fan base have abandoned him and he aint gonna sell no records anymore. BLACK WOMEN SHOULD BOYCOTT NELLY AND cop a COMMON CD.

Yuu serious?! wrote on November 13th, 2007 at 4:46 pm

yea i guess so..

i think ppl should let this go..

the video came out like 6 yrs ago it’s not effecting neone..if it is it’s because ppl keeep blaming his video.

He can’t go back in time and change it..all he can do is learn about how much this bothers a certain group of ppl..

whats the big deal about tip drill? the nigga just put the strip club on tv. it was a live ass video too….arguably the livest video in the history of music videos lol. but i see what juicy is saying tho. all in all nelly made a dumb ass comparison. but females is the ones who buy his records anyway, yall shouldnt be mad. me personally i think nelly is the most annoying rapper in the fuckin game. KRS want everybody to boycott that nigga for a good reason….he sucks. how many females up here like his new song? how many dudes? u see what im sayin? that nigga nelly is fuckin terrible lol i know niggas in saint louis that said they tired of this nigga comin out wit love songs. “sweat” and “suit”? nigga gtfoh nelly and ja rule should have they own music category…r&b/bubblegumpopbullshit
