Biogarphy

The biography that i read is on Cornell Hayes better known as nelly a former graduate of University City High School. I chose to review nelly's biography because i think hes a great rapper and he seems like a very cool person. Not to mention he graduated from the same highschool that i attend . So i thought it would be cool for me to learn about one of our local celebrities. Thats why i thought it would be cool for me to talk about his life.
When Nelly was a toddler he lived in spain until he was about three years old. Thats when he moved from spain to st. louis and started school at the age of seven nellys parents got into a divorce and not just that nelly admitted that use to get into alot of fights and troulbe as a child cause hungout with alot of the older guys. Well that was atleast he was always in trouble until got to highschool and realized his talents and love for the game of baseball. Not only was he good at baseball he was great i mean for a while it looked like he was going to be a baseball player straight out of highschool until he realiized he could rap as well.
It wasnt long after he figured out that he could rap before he made a group named the St.lunatics. after nelly and his group was established two years later he dropped a single called gimmie what you got and sold almost 10,000 copies nelly continued the st lunatics while playing shortstop for the st.louis amateur baseball association. If he would have continued playing he would have went pro in baseball but shortly before going pro he was signed and he got his big break.
Once nelly got his big recording deal with universal it wasnt long before he blew up and became this big star that he is now. Shortly after that he dropped a album called country grammer and that shipped patinum then double platinum and so on after that and thats how nelly became the big star and role model that he is to this day.
