Nelly Album: “Nellyville [Edited]”

Nelly Album: “Nellyville [Edited]”
Description :
Personnel includes: Nelly, Murphy Lee, Justin Timberlake, King Jacob, Kelly Rowland, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Dani Stevenson. <p>Producers include: Jason "Jay E" Epperson, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Waiel Yaghnam, Bam & Ryan Bowser. <p>Principally recorded at The Hit Factory, Miami, Florida. <p>"Hot In Herre" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rap Male Solo Performance. <p>"Dilemma" (w/ Kelly Rowland) won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. <p>NELLYVILLE was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and <p>Best Rap Album. "Dilemma" (w/ Kelly Rowland) was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Record Of The Year. <p>NELLYVILLE could fairly be billed as its creator's coming-of-age album, with a sophisticated sheen that's a world and several million dollars away from its predecessor, the hugely successful COUNTRY GRAMMAR. Confidence and an undeniable musicality are the watchwords here, from the opening title track which is a both half-sung, half-rapped statement of first principles and a tour through the artist's psyche. The infectious club track "Hot in Herre" should bring fans and Nelly neophytes alike running with its old-school chorus, while the tight, steamy textures of "Pimp Juice" show Nelly as a master of insinuating vocalese. There are the usual guest appearances, notably from Justin Timberlake on the rap/pop crossover "Work It," where Timberlake's smooth vocals are expertly used to provide a cool, stylish counterpoint to Nelly's urgent rapping. Beanie Sigel guests on the remix of "Roc the Mic" while the take-no-prisoners stomp of "On the Grind" featuring King Jacob is a reminder, if any were necessary, that no matter how sophisticated his music gets, the streets of St. Louis will always be Nelly's spiritual home.

- There's No Way I can Explain This Album

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."

- WHOA! this is bad.

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.
