Nelly & St. Lunatics (Nelly, Kyjuan, Murphy Lee)
MTV: What are you looking forward to at the VMAs?
Nelly: Hopefully it's winning.
Kyjuan: This right here. [Stands up in victory pose]
Nelly: Hopefully we can get one, either one [Best Rap Video, Best Male Video for "Ride Wit Me"]. We're not picky about which one they want to give us, if they want to give us any. Just representing, just being here. I think the atmosphere for us ... this is only our second one, so it's not like it's an everyday thing for us. We kind of look forward to award shows and stuff like that, promoting and seeing what's really going on.
Murphy Lee: I want to see the performances.
MTV: Who do you think the night's big winner is going to be?
Nelly: I think Eminem might have a big night [for "Stan"]. I think he might pretty much do the Grammy thing here. Why not, though? The dude's been doing his thing. It's all good. Hopefully Nelly can be a big winner tonight. If we could get that off, that would be even better.
MTV: In your opinion, what was the best video of the year?
Nelly: "Ride Wit Me." [Laughs] What can I say? Promotion, I need it.
MTV: Do you have a favorite VMA memory from years past?
Nelly: Last year, for us. Getting promoted, so to speak. From going and doing the outside show to the going to the inside in a big slot like that. I think it was just big for us. That just kind of set it off for big things to happen. After that, Super Bowls and everything just started jumping, man.
