Why You Should Watch: Nelly proves he knows how to get the party started in the video for the first single off his much-delayed upcoming album, 'Brass Knuckles.'

Chamillionaire, David Banner, Nelly and the Game joined KRS-One at the Los Angeles Recording School from February 7-9 to lay down a track as part of the rap legend's relaunch of his Stop the Violence Movement.

KRS-One -- aka the Teacha -- and Boogie Down Productions were the forces behind hip-hop's 1989 anti-violence movement, which produced the song 'Self Destruction,' featuring Public Enemy's Chuck D, MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee and D-Nice.

According to XXLmag.com, the legendary emcee has also lined up future collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Lil Mama.

Nelly, 'Flap Your Wings'

For this video, Nelly requested that ladies "drop down and get your eagle on," which requires you bend your knees until you're almost on the floor, then 'Flap Your Wings' -- er, legs -- to the beat.

Hip-hop star Nelly is teaming up with NBA guard Larry Hughes to open a multimillion dollar athletic complex in his hometown of St. Louis. The rapper, who single-handedly put Missouri on the hip-hop map, and his company Nelly Inc., are in the early stages of planning, but have already purchased 60 acres of land in northwest St. Louis for the proposed project.

While Nelly works towards developing the athletic center, fans of the multiplatinum artist eagerly await the release of his upcoming album, 'Brass Knuckles,' which has been pushed back ... again.

In the meantime, the rapper is calling out Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry's role in 'Monster's Ball,' and Essence, an American lifestyle, fashion and entertainment magazine directed towards African-American women in a recent interview with SOHH.com.

"You look at Essence magazine, and they wouldn't put a rapper on the cover," he told SOHH. "They wouldn't put Nelly on the cover of Essence." He adds, "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 ... that was longer than four or five minutes."

Artist: Nelly
Song: 'Wadsyaname'
Why You Should Watch: Even big-time rap stars like Nelly miss a flight from time to time, but when Nelly's got time to kill in the airport, beautiful women manage to appear at every terminal.

The multifaceted Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes, have made an indelible mark in the world of music production. Crafting hits like Nelly's 'Hot in Herre' have won the duo three Grammys. Now, Pharrell is looking to add television producer to his resume with the upcoming ABC project 'Limelight.'

"This project reminded me a lot of my own life growing up, " the N*E*R*D singer told Variety of the drama, which will focus on talented students at a NYC performing arts school. "Coming from a different environment where we stuck out for having abilities that we later learned, after attending a school like this, were actually gifts and talents."

Fellow 'Limelight' producer McG seemed thrilled about the 34-year-old talent's involvement in the show. "Pharrell is the ultimate embodiment of credibility in this space," he said. "He attended a performing arts high school and went on to become the most prolific producer of our generation."

St. Louis hip-hop heavyweight Nelly will return with his fifth album, 'Brass Knuckles,' featuring production by Pharrell, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox and Nephew. Get a taste of what is rumored to be the first single, 'Wadsyaname,' on which Nelly reminds us he is "tryin' to stay respectful and polite."
