Nelly

Editor's Review:

The much-anticipated follow-up to his multi-platinum debut album, Nelly's Nellyville is set to hit stores in just a few days. On first listen, the disc seems a bit imbalanced. Some of the 19 tracks fall well short of the standard set by the others, as well as past Nelly hits. Largely up-tempo, smooth and braggadocios with a touch of humor, Nellyville focuses lyrically on Nelly and his crew's undeniable recent achievement. This does become a bit tiresome, but in the post-gangsta rap era, the change of the game is to be expected. You've likely heard "#1," "Work It" and "Hot in Herre," but other standout tracks include "Oh Nelly" and its decidedly old-school electronic sound, the ultra-smooth "Splurge," and "Dilemma," Nelly's take on the rap ballad.
