When your debut album scans 8x platinum, why mess with the formula? That's what Nelly must have been thinking on Nellyville, as he virtually carbon-copies the Country Grammar template on his follow-up. This time around, though, unusually large chunks of his rhyme schemes are fixated on tales of his rise from rags-to-bitches. On tracks like 'Work It' (which sadly features Justin Timberlake of toy band 'N Sync) and the title track, hip-hop's materialistic excess hits a fever pitch. Still, 'bling, bling' never sounded so good over St. Lunatics in-house producer Jay E's beats. Nelly takes his down-home St. Louis rap cadence to, er, identical heights on 'Country Grammar II,' one of the many similar-sounding sequels to original chart blazers 'Country Grammar' and 'E.I.' The anthemic 'Hot in Herre,' whose hook implores hotties to get undressed over a poppy Neptunes beat, is the 2002 version of 'Ride wit Me.' Nelly even pulls a Q-Tip routine, mutating his already singsong delivery into full-on balladeering on 'The Gank' and 'Pimp Juice,' with mixed results. KRS-One has called for a boycott of this album because he's decided Nelly has no respect for hip-hop elders, and, well, maybe he's right. But that won't stop this St. Lunatic from taking his fresh approach to commercial hip-hop to the nearest Chase Manhattan. Buyer Reviews : What people search: |
