Free Music Notes for Country Grammar
Free Music Review: The best songs are the singles. Not impressed overall. 3 stars.
Hit: 3 Stars
Anyone who listens to the radio should remember hearing "Country Grammar", "E.I.", "Ride Wit' Me", and "Batter Up" on any given station when Nelly first debuted in 2000. He created quite a buzz when he first came out because he was a rapper but he wasn't talking about killing you, stealing from you or anything of that nature. He rapped about lighter subjects like sitting next to Vanna White on airplanes, getting paid off of country grammar and hanging with his friends, The Saint Lunatics.
"Country Grammar" is a decent album, but the only song that truly impressed me was "Ride Wit' Me." There are some other mentionable moments, but that's definitely one of his finest tracks to date. "Ride Wit' Me" has an amazing beat and melody. It defines "rider music" because of its laid back feel. The title track is another song worth mentioning. When this song debuted, I don't know how many people I heard singing that unforgettable hook. And who could forget the video which featured Nelly getting down in his Saint Louis Rams jersey and matching sneakers. "Greed, Hate and Envy" and "Tho Dem Wrappas" are alright songs, but not in any way memorable. Nelly lyrics are definitely not top notch. In fact, his rhymes are pretty weak often times. But what makes people continue to listen to him is his energetic delivery and inflections. He is a bit different from the average rapper because he makes plenty of party songs. Production-wise, there is nothing special about this album.
As a unit, this album is remotely enjoyable. If you were to purchase it, you would find a couple of numbers you liked, but you would also find dull moments. In all honesty, you want to purchase this one at your own risk.

love the cd but it came in the mail with the lyrics book all stuck together and practiaclly unusable but the cd was excellentFree Music Review: This Is Not "R & B"!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP CALLING RAP, "R & B"? What Wilson Pickett, Aretha, James Brown, Otis Redding, Gladys Knight sang is "R & B". Not this stuff. It's rap and hip/hop. Call it what it is, please!
Free Music Review: Plain and Simply put . . . .
Hit: 1 Stars
This album clearly displays the one thing many people have known for some
time. Nelly is not, nor will he ever be, hip-hop. Nelly is a true disservice to those great artists that established what hip-hop is all about. Do yourselves a favor and go listen to The Roots, Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, and there are so many others, I don't have time to name. Just anything but this guy.
Free Music Review: To think he has gone even further downhill from here...
Hit: 2 Stars
I'll admit it. I remember the summer of 2000. Everyone was playing the song 'Country Grammar' by Nelly and it was a great track. After hearing that and his next single, 'E.I.', which was also pretty good, I bought this album and, well, was very disappointed.
Although it's not terrible in the sense of how his albums are today (well, any album released by Nelly after this debut), this is still a lackluster album with a limited number of good tracks. The vast majority of great or decent songs were singles (Country Grammar, E.I., and Batter Up). Other than that, 'Luven Me' (where he talks about his early life as a teenager) and 'St. Louie' are pretty good, but the rest of the album is boring garbage. Even the good songs lack the spark that made them so great years ago. Chalk 'Country Grammar' up as a forgettable debut by an artist who has gone even further downhill from here.
