"#1" is a song recorded by American rapper Nelly. It was released on August 29, 2001 as the lead single from the soundtrack to the 2001 film Training Day. It was also included on Nelly's second studio album Nellyville (2002). The song was most known for igniting the feud between Nelly and KRS-One, for which KRS-One perceived it as a diss for being too similar to "I'm Still #1" by his group, Boogie Down Productions.[citation needed]
The music video for the song features Joe Perry of Aerosmith on guitar.[citation needed] The plot of the video closely follows Training Day with Nelly playing a dual role as both Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington's characters of a rookie cop and a corrupt veteran cop.
The official remix features the group Clipse and Postaboy, and the song is on Nelly's remix album, Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention.
