New Video: Nelly – ‘Just A Dream’

Published: Friday 24th Sep 2010 by Trent

The video for Nelly’s ‘Just A Dream’ debuted today. Serving as the 1st single from his upcoming ‘Nelly 5.0’ LP (in stores on November 16th), the record has already climbed to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video is available below:

That was an incredible visual. From the concept to the editing and graphics, Nelly definitely delivered with this one. He could have easily released a simple clip but it seems that he is determined to claim the top spot on the charts and make his mark with this new album. Good work.

  12. Wire September 24, 2010

    Poor Fist Brown.

    Nelly is #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Deuces and Yeah3X are nowhere to be found.

  14. Shine September 24, 2010

    I FREAKING LOVED IT! I love the play on the “Inception” movie.

    GO NELLY!

    I don’t really care for the the song but that’s my boy so I’m going to support him anyway.

    CD in stores NOVEMBER 16th!

    Video won’t show for me.

    I actually really LOVE this song! I think he did this to get back on the map, so hopefully he does some hardcore music this era as well.

  16. MrIncredible September 24, 2010

    This song is sooooo bad… they are really are giving away Billboard spots these days bc this just aint it. It’s so generic… shame on Nelly for jumping on the bandwagon.

  17. Try Again… September 24, 2010

    I’ll give him props for that creative video, but I still don’t really like the song. I hope his album does well though.

  18. Topman September 24, 2010

    LOVE IT

  19. Areis September 24, 2010

    feeling the video

  20. Ms. Love September 24, 2010

    Nelly did a excellent job… This is a very artistic video… HOW IS THIS GENERIC WHEN NELLY ORIGINATED THIS SOUND????? Clearly he was the only rapper singing with a melodic feel to his music…Now every rapper wants to sing Kanye, T.I., Wayne etc… Give credit where it’s do but hey I guess if there weren’t any haterz around the world wouldn’t turn…

  21. lostonesz September 24, 2010

    dope video

  22. MUSIC LOVER September 24, 2010

    I agree with Ms. Love. How the f*** did jump on the band wagon? The last time I checked Nelly has had songs with similar sounds with melodic choruses. And if my ears aren’t broken, I don’t hear the electronic, autotune b******* found in every other song these days. Anyway, he’s coming hard! This is a beautiful video.

  23. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 24, 2010

    I so agree with @Ms. Love! Nelly was one of the first rappers, if not the very first, to actually incorporate melodic arrangements and the R&B/Pop feel to hip hop music that crosses over to mainstream. It’s really not that generic considering he sort of created it and made it what it is today. He is kind of the originator. I actually like it as long as he still does his hardcore rapping as well. The idea of having an album strictly hip hop (Sweat) and another incorporating R&B/Pop (Suit) was genius because it catered to both demographics. I’m not sure if he will do that this time around but hopefully he does something to that affect. And at least he doesn’t use auto-tune like the other rappers to sound better.

    @Music Lover we practically said the same exact thing at the same time. 🙂

  25. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 24, 2010

    Just saw the video and I love it! It matches the song well. I love the underwater scene. And Nelly? WHOO! *fans self* Damn, he is just too YUMMY! Love him! <3

  29. Kathy September 24, 2010

    I love the song, and the video. I hope this will help Nelly achieve his next no. 1.

  30. delroy September 24, 2010

    great song, great vid.been feeling this song for a while now and it’s still got that something, unlike most of the tripe that’s out at the moment. I have to admit that i prefer his more hardcore sound.

  31. Bey_Bishes September 24, 2010

    I agree with those who said Billboard are basically ‘giving’ away spots. #7 really??? That’s huge for a rap artist though so congrats to him. The song is ok but I love the video 🙂
