Nelly's favorite tech toys
-What kind of technology do you like to use?
Like, what are the things that you can't live without?
-Well, I think-- I don't think anybody-- I mean, it's kinda hard to be on the road without your-- without your laptop, without your Mac.
-Right.
Right.
-You know, I think that's-- I think that's probably the hardest thing to do outside of your phone.
-Yeah.
-You know, we do have our portable Pro Tool Series.
-Right.
Sure.
-We keep our Canon, you know, just in case we wanna make a video.
-Do you shoot a lot of stuff when you're on the road?
-Yeah.
We shoot-- We shoot
anything, you know.
-Really?
-Yeah, we just shoot anything.
Some of the stuff that you're just putting out to go viral and you're just--
-Right.
-reaching out for your fans and you just touch them.
Yeah.
Mostly everything comes off the Canon.
-Oh, man.
You set it out.
You got a little popcorn, a little lemonade.
-Yeah.
I try to act like I have some manners, man.
-From his laptop to his camera, these are just a couple of the rapper's tech must haves on the go.
Now, these are a few of your favorite tech gadgets.
I wanna start with these headphones.
Right there.
-All right.
-I mean, these are a little ridiculous.
What--
Would it--
-You know what?
I actually got, you know, turned on with these when I was in Dubai.
I was coming through, you know, the terminal and all that and I needed some new headphones.
My headphones got messed up and I saw them and I-- Actually, when I first looked at them, I was like, "Oh, look at these.
These are probably a piece of crap, right?"
-Uh huh.
-And then I put them on and I was like, "Holy." Yeah, I was like, "Yo." And I took them off and I was like, show them to my brother like, "Yo.
You gotta hear this." He definitely liked, yo, the sound in these are
incredible.
Just trying--
-[unk] diamond clear--
- They were about $300.
-Oh, wow.
Okay.
-They were about $300.
-[unk] to you too.
-And then--
-Of course, Macbook.
-Yeah.
-You have-- You have your Macbook.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not--
-You gotta-- Yeah.
-I'm not the first nor will I be the last to need a big Mac.
-Uh huh.
-You know-- And so, right now, I do a lot of my music on here because, you know, we're finished-- We just finished up the album.
-Sure.
-So you know, I did a lot of, you know, organizing the sequence,
checking out different mixes and things of that notion.
-Billy's camera of choice, when he's shooting video on the road, the Canon 7D.
This is what I try to tell everybody.
This is the new standard.
-That is the new standard.
You do everything with that.
That Canon, you know, family music videos, you can do everything with that and it-- that-- We shot a bunch of viral videos, just in-studio videos and things like that with that camera there but you can do anything with it.
