About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Nelly's debut album, Country Grammar, was a left-field surprise smash hit, racking up a number of hits and turning the Midwestern pop-rapper into an overnight superstar. It's perhaps little surprise then that his follow-up, Nellyville, sticks to the script. Like Country Grammar, it's produced almost entirely by newcomer Jason "Jay E" Epperson, and it too relies on catchy, singalong hooks that are more pop than rap. Moreover, there are some clear, clever rewrites here, with "Pimp Juice" in particular relying on the same slow-grooving rhythm that made "Country Grammar" and "E.I." such jams two summers earlier. Nelly also retains his tough-guy posturing here -- he's no gangsta, nor is he an outright thug, but he is awfully damn cocky and a lot gruffer than your typical teen pop star. All of this makes Nellyville just as good as its predecessor. What makes it two or three notches better, however, are the few occasions where Nelly tries something new -- namely on "Hot in Herre," "Dilemma," and "Rock the Mic," three well-calculated, standout moments. The first is a trademark Neptunes production with an infectious hook, tailor-made for radio and club play; the second is a straight, saccharine interpolation of Patti LaBelle's 1983 hit "Love, Need and Want You" that features a duet with Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland, and is as likely to appeal to those who are old enough to know the original as those who are too young to realize how much of a straight cover this is; and the third is a remix of Beanie Sigel and Freeway's previously released hit for Roc-a-Fella, and is one of the only pure hip-hop moments here, and a welcome one at that. All of this amounts to a sure-fire pop-rap album that should not only please anyone who enjoyed Country Grammar, it should attract yet more fans who will be drawn in by the few aforementioned standout moments of pop calculation. And that's not even mentioning the Justin Timberlake feature, which should be a draw in itself for many teen pop fans. [The clean version censors all moments of profanity.] Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

November 06, 2002: I think that Nelly's newest album entitled "Nellyville", is a great compilation. Nelly, in my opinion, is a great all-around artist. I like how he brings his whole crew, the St.Lunatics, onto his album to help promote them. I also like how he gives proper respect to St.Louis, his hometown, on every single song. In this album Nelly isn't letting people talk bad about him and get away with it. "I strike a nerve in old MC's wantin a comeback I got the strength that he's lost and that's fact."These are lyrics that were supposed to be a comeback on KRS-1. KRS-1 said some stuff about Nelly that he didn't like and got back at them with these lyrics. Then KRS-1 said some more stuff about Nelly and claimed that they were the best rappers. Nelly put his comebacks in his hit song #1. Another thing that I like about Nelly is that he raps to some very nice beats in his songs. Some of poeple's favorite songs are Dilemma, Hot in Herre, and Air Force Ones. My personal favorite song on the album is CG2 (Country Grammer #2). Some of the very few things that I didn't like was that you don't get to hear by himself a lot; he has cameos in almost all of his songs. I also think that Nelly should do more tracks with female artist, as he did with Kelly Rowland in Dilemma. Another thing that I would like to see is Nelly doing more remixes like he did with the "Roc the Mic" remix. Anyway, I thought that this was a great overall album.
