Oppose - I oppose this one. As far as I know the weapon "brass knuckles" is the more commonly referred to than the album. Why the album was not even mentioned in the first ten google hits. Whereas the weapon was mentioned twice once being on wikipedia the other time not. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to create "Brass Knuckles" as a disambig page and move the Brass Knuckles weapon to to
Brass knuckles (weapon). --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (

Oppose —
WP:NC(P) recommends "adding a parethical (bracketed) disambiguator to the page name: for instance when both spellings are often or easily confused." Also oppose moving the brass knuckles weapon to to
Brass knuckles (weapon) as the weapon is still the primary topic. — AjaxSmack 04:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)reply
Oppose. Also, I oppose The Random Editor's suggestion of moving "Brass knuckles" to "Brass knuckles (weapon)".

Delays
Can someone find some information on what is causing the delays in releasing this album and add it to the article? --

I'm not so sure it's real anymore, now that City Spud is out of jail. They could have pushed it back to get City on the album. Or maybe to just spit 16 bars on the songs "Chill" and "Lie" which feature the St. Lunatics. The original site where I found the tracklisting, the song "Problems" did not feature Janet Jackson. I don't know where this is coming from.
where's mariah?
I was really looking forward to this mystery thing on nelly's new album - the song with janet and mariah? but the only thing is that "problems" feature only janet? where's mariah... I hope that in the final cut both of the divas make it to the song, cause it would be GREATNESS!!!!

Eh, I can't understand what you're saying. BTW, Wikipedia
is not a forum. It's nice that you're looking to the album, but you might want to express your happiness on a forum, not here on the Wiki.

Edit war

There seems to be an ongoing edit war involving the covers. Can we gain consensus on what cover is being used? A couple of reliable references would be appreciated. As a general outsider who doesn't know the artist/album well at all, I can't offer much input myself, unfortunately. Cheers,

Well,the 1st cover has a source and the source says "cover of Nelly's Brass Knuckles album". The other cover has no sources that cite as an official cover.

Righto. Check Image:Brass Knuckles (Nelly album).jpg, though - apparently it needs more of a description or something of the sort.

Okay, so at this point, we need to come to a consensus of which cover should be put the infobox. In my opinion, the black and white cover should be the main cover, as it is the one Amazon is using. The colored cover seems to be outdated, so we might want to remove it until it is confirmed as the official cover or an alternate, if it is used at all. Thoughts?

The colored cover clearly has a reliable source stating it as an official cover. But you're right that the gray cover should go 1st,since it's used by Amazon.

'Tis true, just stating the facts. If I could get my scanner working, I'd scan it, but it still would not meet reliability policies. So, I'll let it go.. just remember when we actually see the album ;) --

The colored album cover was made by a fan. On a website called V.I.P. Deisgn. The black and white one is the OFFICIAL COVER FOR NELLY'S BRASS KNUCKLES ALBUM COMING SEPTEMBER 16TH. —Preceding

Because it was posted on Nelly's myspace page as a promo type cover...so all of your "reliable sources" got if from the myspace and thought it was official. And not to go back to the Amazon thing, they are using the black and white cover, and the NEVER used the colored one as the cover for the album. —Preceding

But Nelly personally doesn't get on his own myspace page. I messaged the St. Lunatics myspace page once, and got a message back from Promoter Mousie. All artists have their own people to get on the myspace account. —Preceding
