"#1" is a single by the rapper Nelly, and it was released in 2001, taken from the soundtrack to the film Training Day, as well as his own 2002 album Nellyville. In the song, Nelly is accused for dissing rapper KRS-One. However Nelly told critics that he was not dissing KRS. KRS struck back with the diss "Reel Hip-hop". The song reached #22 in the US, hardly his best showing. In the song, the lyrics say, "so what does it take to be number one? Two is not a winna and 3 no one remebers...,"

This song was produced by Grammy Nominated Producer Waiel "Wally" Yaghnam.
