Worst Nelly Album Ever...
Hot cover, but that's about it!!!. I love Nelly, or I used to love Nelly, but hate him for having me waist my money on this terrible album.


Past His Prime
" Although it was a decent album, it didn't match previous efforts. In 2008, Nelly released "Brass Knuckles. I hate to admit it, because I like Nelly, but he peaked in 2004 with the release of his albums "Sweat" and "Suit. " In the four years he worked on this album, people lost interest in him and I think the delay of this album ultimately hurt him.
Like previous Nelly albums, this one is mostly a party record. Songs you can enjoy and groove to. Production and guest appearances are solid, coming from a slew of producers and guest features. Standout tracks include "Long Night" featuring Usher, "Hold Up" feat. T. I. and LL Cool J, "Body On Me" feat. Ashanti & Akon," and "Let It Go Lil' Mama" featuring Pharrell.
Some of the collaborations are expected, like the Neptunes, Ashanti and T. I. Some are not, like LL Cool J and Nate Dogg.
While there are plenty of good tracks, this album has quite a few sub par ones as well. "L. A. " featuring Snoop Dogg & Nate Dogg seems forced and a song more fitting The Game than Nelly. "Party People" featuring Fergie is the weakest single in Nelly's history, and "One and Only" is just plain boring.
I give Nelly credit for making some songs that are entertaining and enjoyable, but this album gets knocked for some really out of place songs, as mentioned.
If you like Nelly, you'll like this album. However, you won't keep it spinning in your cd player for too long, and you definitely won't consider it his best work. This might be the beginning of the end of Nelly as a top artist.


It was a good pop hiphop album!
Is that his rap sort of changed the direction of rap from being serious to light/fun. Nelly's time is slowly fading away! Which is sad because I'm from that area, and we all love Nelly! The thing i always liked about nelly, and most of the general public. I mean it was what helped him sell. That being said, times are changing, and I found nelly's sound to be still great. But cheesy at the same time! Party People was a bit too corny for me. He should not have choose fergie to rap! I mean seriously! He could have chosen alot better pop artists to sing. Body on Me was pretty decent. It wasn't too bad. Brass Knuckles was pretty slick. Self esteem has classic nelly written all over it! That was a highlight. Also liked, U ain't him and hold up! Chill falls short of being not gangsta enough for me! I needed alittle more edge to the song. Which overall, I think is nelly's down fall. he doesn't or ever really did have a hard edge when it came to rap music. Unlike Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, or Young Jeezy. This album is very comparable to Ashanti's latest release, its good because I like variety,but they need to step up their game in order to compete in today's pop market! Overall, if you love nelly or music from the early 00's then this is def. the album for you to get!.


This Album is good for one thing...
00 coaster for your drink or an extra CD case in case you lose a case for your Lil Wayne cds. This CD serves a $15. If this appeals to you, then definately buy Nelly's Cd.

Ha, St. Louis' finest(that's not saying much. )

Sincerely,

Kansas City.


Pretty good comeback.
I'm pretty pleased with the music although there's a couple of songs I'm not really crazy about but overall enjoy listening to it at work. This album was received very promptly. Thanks.
