<p>While remix albums of all shades were in vogue during 2003, Nelly truly seems to be having fun on DA DERRTY VERSIONS, his addition to the genre. This release is unique in that the remixes are generally by the original producer. Also, the title is a bit of a misnomer, as it implies more stripped-down or crunked-out versions, which are not really what this record is about. However, that's not a bad thing; DA DERRTY VERSIONS is a consistently entertaining record featuring many clever twists, unforgettable guest shots, and one ultra-catchy, all-new track "Iz U."
<p>By far, the most ear-catching moment is the peculiarly inspired reworking of the smash "Ride wit Me" which begins a cappella before a jangly guitar kicks in and reimagines the rap to the tune of John Mayer's "No Such Thing." Nelly's first hit, "Country Grammar," is redone more traditionally as E-40 drops by to add some new verses to complement the slightly tweaked familiar chorus. Hits like the St. Lunatics "Batter Up" and the summer jam "Hot in Herre" are given small but welcome alterations and remain as engaging as ever. The whole album is threaded together by the affable Nelly as the interviewee/tour guide, offering insight into the making of the record itself.

- He's Done It Again
Nelly has some how done it again. Just when they thought he was a two CD wonder he comes out with one of his hottest albums yet. He takes all his old hits, adds a new beat, and throws together some of his best lyrics yet to make one hot album. If your a hip hop fan or just a music fan in general this is one CD you must have. 2 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
- Awesome
Nelly is just plain awesome. I thought it would just be the typical remix album. Not the case. A lot of the songs have new beats with similar lyrics to the remixed song. Give it a try but get the Derrty version... |
