Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. b/k/a Nelly quickly rose to national and then international prominence when “Country Grammar” was released in 2000. His melodic delivery didn’t need AutoTune to connect with audiences, and he had a knack for memorable verses and hooks that many of his peers lacked. As his popularity soared the budget for his music videos did too, and happily there’s no shortage of material to pick from for this list.
