While the St. Lunatics have not released an album since 2001’s Free City, one Lunatic has spoken out verbally against former friend and front man, Nelly. Ex-member Slo’ Down recently told XXL that, back when the group was in its prime, Nelly took half of the earnings.
“I might fuck around and get emotional talkin’ about all how that money was getting split up. Shit was crazy,” he said. “Niggas was eatin’ and I wasn’t one of them niggas. I was snackin’… I was lunchin’, having lunch every now and then, and niggas was having four course meals and aint have shit to do with shit…Whatever we did, Nelly got half of that shit and the rest of the group split [the other half] up…And when it came to splitting the money I wasn’t part of the rest of the group…I ain’t write no lyrics or nothing but…I brought more to the stage show, [and] to the image.”
While Slo’ Down has called out Nelly over the issue, Nelly has yet to respond.
Can’t blame Nelly. This was truly a no-talent-ass group. Hated that period in Rap.
At least one of the dudes got an album with a dude from Goodie Mob that clearly made a lasting impression on my life.
Fuck the St. Lunatics, more Luniz.
You all are dumb fucks!!!! If he didn’t do shit the why does he have platinum plaques for being with the lunatics. They put you in as a member well you should get paid. Not saying the max but you do deserve money. Not a fan of ya’ll at all but I just had to say somethin to these retards that write dumb shit.
I KNOW THIS DUDE IS WACK AND ITS BEEN LIKE 10 YEARS AFTER THE FACT BUT KNOWING THE TYPE OF DUDE NELLY IS THIS VIDEO IS BELIEVABLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS DUDE SAYS HE DIDNT WRITE OR PRODUCE HE WAS THE HYPE MAN SO WHAT DID HE EXPECT BUT ONCE AGAIN IF YOUR A GROUP AND SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE BROTHERS THAN SHIT SHOULD BE 50-50 BUT LIKE I SAID KNOWING THE TYPE OF DUDE NELLY IS AND WHO HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IM NOT SURPRISED AT ALL
I WISH THIS MAN THE BEST OF LUCK IN WHATEVER HE TRYING TO DO BUT WHATEVER HE IS LOOKING FOR HE AINT GONNA GET IT
Hold up. Slow’ down didn’t right his own lyrics?!!!
I’m all disillutioned now….
Hold up. Slo’ Down didn’t write his own lyrics?!!!!
I’m all disillutioned now.
If you didn’t ever get any pay, than why were you dancing wherever they performed? Why would you keep doing that, only to complai 10 years later?
This version of the article doesn’t mention it, but Slo Down says in the full quote that he was “lunchin” while they were eating main courses. Basically saying the amount he was getting paid could buy him lunch instead a full course meal.
who cares.move on with life homie its bigger then nellys soft ass.you got the chance to do your thing with them niggas you didnt write shit or produce u hyped up the crowd at concerts and got a chump check for it bottom line.10 years after the fact.niggas say and pull shit like this when they aint got a pot to piss in anymore,but should of spoke up when the shit was poppin to set the record straight instead he got pimped for his services and hes bitter first time in hip hop this has happened?no so u didnt write or produce just dance the fuck around like a stage puppet know your mad .i just read a story about a heartless no talent but dancing sucker for nellys punk shit and its suppose to matter cause he was with the lunatics.fuckem all and im from the lou.so ass niggas from ucity.
nelly took 1/2 the money the group made because 99% of the money the group made he’s responsible for.
be glad he didn’t take more.
As garbage as Nelly is…If he’s going to co-sign a wack ass group, he better get (at least) half. lol. One album and Ten years later he bitches about it.
Nelly is responsible for MORE then half the money that group made. Besides Murphy Lee none of them held their own and as a group the only reason they got any attention was because of Nelly.
He acts like he doesn’t remember how big Country Grammar was and how much that album did for Nelly and in turn the group he was in.
He admits to not writing any lyrics, he didn’t produce any tracks, and all of the recognition and fame they received had nothing to do with him – yet he wants an even split?!
He probably deserves more than that… I’m surprised this group made enough money to take.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! NIGGA U AINT DO NOTHIN’!!! SMMFH!!
im sooooooo glad i dont have to hear nelly songs everywhere like i did 10 yrs ago
hahaha hell yeah I’m feelin you on that shit, but I’d rather be hearing nelly songs all day then 90% of the garbage they play these days
These dudes are washed up for a reason. And this fag mutherfucker was only there for decoration lmao. All he did was dance around in a hanibal lecter mask. He’s just a gimic. Anyways, fuck nelly’s bitch face too. He’s just a perfect example that this bullshit you see on tv is not timeless, meaning ten years from now, Drake won’t be shit, kid cudi won’t be shit, nikki minaj won’t be shit… the list goes on. Pay attention kids
Amen Brother!
and you’ll still be hatin on niccas ten years from now baggin’ groceries. Cake-boi always talkin down cause you aint been discovered
lol@decoration good one my equal hahahahahaha yell
Why is this dude even talking, he just said he wasn’t part of the group or nothing, SO WHAT IN THE HELL MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ANYTHING YOU STUPID F#CK
“And when it came to splitting the money I wasn’t part of the rest of the group…I ain’t write no lyrics or nothing but…I brought more to the stage show, [and] to the image.”
“I was exciting on stage.”
People came to shows and bought albums because of Nelly…
Back when the group was in its prime, KRS took all of there respect. Um, except from middle school girls…
playboy…if you didn’t write any lyrics or produce tracks or do any of the mix/master work, then you DO NOT get paid. PERIOD. What did you bring to the stage show besides back up vox? That’s all the money you’re entitled to. What is it with all these rapper knowing NOTHING about business nowadays?
A disgruntled hype man crying about money NINE YEARS after the album dropped…..DAMN!!
I agree with dun. Slo Down, I’m really sorry you didn’t contribute anything to the St. Lunatics except cramping the stage when we toured. You’re probably broke right now sitting by the phone waiting for a gig. Probably not going to happen. Best of luck. -Something Nelly would say
You out of ur lane talkin about nelly because u was gettn paid bc u was the homie because u was not a hype man because u never said shit hell flav is a hype man he put in on the music as well hell if anybody goin to bitch about money within the it should be every body but u and u dont see them talkn bout old money so just enjoy the back ground and get off ur ass and make some music we know who u are now the right feat or hook and somebody shit will be ur best start because i never heard u voice until 2day thats real talk
thats sum real shit.
i’m sorry mime’s don’t deserve equal share yell

This dude got to go on tour, fuck Nelly’s throw aways, smoke all his weed, get V.I.P. into the club….and do alll that other shit. Get paid for it, and he’s mad he didn’t get more money??? You didn’t even rap. Ask the Boston Celtics how much Lucky gets paid for being the mascot in comparison to Kevin Garnett’s salary. No one cares about you Slo Down. You realize you have no trade, this isn’t going to get you any money. FUCK YOU!You just blew your only means of income stupid!
Nigga I wish you were talkin with yo hands right now. You are a bum ass no talented wana be hype man.
