4.0 out of 5 stars
In my opinion........,
By
This review is from: Nellyville (Audio CD)
I'm a devoted fan of Hip Hop and R'n'B, but this is actually the first Rap album I have ventured to buy - and it won't be the last. I'm really impressed (and pleasantly surprised) by Nelly's new LP "Nellyville."I fell in love with the first two singles from the album. "Hot in Herre" gets all asses shakin with it's infectious chorus and smooth production (we wouldn't expect anything less from the Neptunes). And in contrast is the simple and sweet "Dilemma" featuring beautiful vocals from Kelly Rowland. Other highlights of the album include appearances from Justin Timberlake in sexy tune "Work It" and Toya in the catchy bonus track "Stick Out Ya Wrist." "Oh Nelly" also stands out as a potential release. Being slightly reluctant to purchase my first Rap album I was happy to find that the tracks are in no way samey and relentless. Nelly uses a variety of content and tempo, as well as several collaborations to make the songs different and distiguishable. For the "Grammar" fans Nelly includes "CG 2" a funky second part to his massive breakthrough single "Country Grammar." For those of us who are sick and tired of listening to violent rappers, it's nice to hear "Nellyville" and "Say Now." Both tracks are penned by Nelly about these sorts of issues and a hope of a world without them - very refreshing! "Nellyville" may not be suitable for hardcore underground Rap fans - it's far to commercial and is edging dangeroulsy close to a more Pop friendly area of Rap (as most artists do when they reach mainstream status). But it's still Hip Hop on the whole, and most important of all, it's fun! With a variety of sounds and the funny skits that have become essential to the Hip Hop album, "Nellyville" lives up to the hype. Definately for mainstream Rap fans, this album oozes with attitude and can't possibly fail to get you in a great mood. Fun for the blokes with it's humour and style, great for the girls with irrestitible beats that will leave you swaying those hips and feeling positively bootylicious!

Nellyville? that's not on the map is it?,
This review is from: Nellyville (Audio CD)
I'll just check my atlas but i'm sure it isn't! Anyway forget the name, we're here because of the music, and i like it! Nelly has established himself as a big playa when it comes to rap/funky-music-of-some-sort and this album demonstrates why! Hot in Herre is fantastic with the chorus being ever so catchy and easy to sing along to. '#1' is another hit as it shows Nelly bragging about his talent and skill - but hey, it ain't bragging if you can back it up! (That's not my quote i stole that from Muhammad Ali - apologies big dude!). Two words - buy it!

Good and bad, depending on what you want.,
This review is from: Nellyville (Audio CD)
If you buy Nellyville looking for a Hip-hop album to put in your collection between Wu-Tang Clan and 2pac, then you will be disappointed. In that case, the only song which is remotely good is Roc-The-Mic, which features Freeway, Murphy Lee and Beanie Sigel.But, if your less of a Hip-hop fan and more of a casual music listener, there will be loads of songs here that you'll love, including the classic Hot in Here. So if you want some good Hip-hop, don't buy this, but if you listen to various music styles and have an open mind, get this.
