this was a very great cd from nelly. since this cd has topnotch songs. and this cd is way better than nelly's first.
NO! This aint no rap. This is bad R'N'B mixted with bad rhymes and Nelly's irataiting woice. Complete junk.
After purchasing Nelly's first album, "Country Grammar" and the St. Lunatics' "Free City," and not being able to stop listening to it, I was really anxious for "Nellyville" to come out. And yet, what a surprise, I was disappointed thoroughly. When I first listened to the CD, I could only go up to the first nine tracks, because those were the most listenable.
The album goes completely downhill after "Splurge." The last four songs except "#1" seem like they were made just for added content and not for classics.
Now, with the exceptions of "Nellyville," "On The Grind," "Dilemma," "Splurge" and "Air Force Ones" I can't listen to any of the songs and I skip over tracks like crazy.
I liked "Hot in Herre" as much as the next person when it first came out. Now that song is so over-played, I can't even watch the video now.
And how do you know when a rapper decides not to stay hip-hop?
The answer: When he does a track with the lead singer for a pop band. Now, I know that Nelly was featured in the Girlfriend Remix, which I still, to this day despise that song. So, Timberlake returns the favor...Yada Yada Yada. This song is the worst track on the album and had no business on a "hip-hop" album period.
Had Nelly gotten rid of tracks such as: "Dem Boyz", "Work It," "CG2," "Say Now" and the unfunny skits, this sophomore attempt then would at least have had definite potential to top the debut album.
So, unless you're a big Nelly fan, disregard this album and pick up "Free City" and "Country Grammar."
This is a horrible cd. I really hate the one song "Hot in here"(I refuse to spell here with two r's). It is terrible and the lyrics are pathetic, just like Nelly. As they would say I guess I'm drinking a bottle of HATERADE.
this was a very cool cd from nelly. since i was impressed with most of the songs from this cd. and nelly is a topnotch rapper.
