Ok, I'm not certain, but I think I'm the only black guy here. And since corn-rows started as a black style, I can speak as an expert on the subject.
I can safely say, although we (blacks in America) say corn-rolls, the real origin is corn-rows.
Its just another weird thing people do to their language.
Like when someone says "thank you", most people respond with, "no problem", instead of "you're welcome".
Or when someone asks "how are you" but they dont really want to know.
Back to topic: Nelly says rolls, but its rows.
