Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention

Editor's Review:

Remix albums: can’t get enough or beating a dead horse? Example: Nelly’s Da Derrty Versions, and the reworking of radio’s favorite songs for the past three years. His debut single “Country Grammar” features a slimy verse from E-40, with no other drastic changes. “E.I.” is the most notable remix with David Banner, who also reworks “Air Force Ones” with Eightball, providing the slump. However, all change isn’t good in Nellyville. Trying to top a Neptunes beat is fatal, and the remix for “Hot In Herre” is proof that some things should just be left alone. “Pimp Juice” is another one of those, with a smoothed-out Isley version of the once-syrupy beat. There are a few new treats mixed in with the recycled ones. No Verdict.

Bio[+]
St. Louis-raised rapper Nelly (born Cornell Haynes Jr.) got his musical start fronting his hometown hip-hop collective, St. Lunatics, who had scored a Midwestern hit in 1996 with “Gimmie What You Got.” After dissolving the group, Nelly hit it big time with his 2000 Universal release, Country Grammar. His latest release, Nellyville (2002) continues on the party rap tip with clever, mass-appeal lyricisms and club dancing rhythms. A true pop artist of the 21st century, Nelly’s sphere of influence also includes movie roles and his own clothing line, Vocal.
