Never promoted violence, as though his objectification of women is less of a problem. I've seen Nelly twice in concert (once when he first started), so I don't dislike him, but I also don't consider him better than the next rapper just because his music isn't normally violent. I'm old enough to remember the Tip Drill controversy and fallout, and it was only a few years ago that he was accused of s-e-xual assault by three different women. Dancing with the Stars showed his likability factor, but it doesn't mean that his music promotes something less troublesome than violence.
