Hip hop.
Don’t look
for a social message in here. Just enjoy yourself 'cause you won’t get that
many chances in later male hip-hop to get such a mix of catchy sounds rapped
over but on which you can actually dance. I didn’t listen to much hip hop at
the time so that was one album that always struck me as perfect. Perhaps not
the most original or thought-through hip hop work of the early 2000s, that’s precisely
where Nellyville finds its power: it achieves lots effortlessly and just sucks
you right into the mix. Aside from the obvious “Dilemma”, “Hot in herre”, other
pearls include “Dem boyz,” “Oh Nelly,” “Pimp juice,” “Air force ones,” “Splurge,”
“On the grind,” “Roc the mix,” and “CG2.” Of the rest, not one faulty piece. No
mistake, it’s first and foremost a commercial product, but what a success at
that! Pearl
