Country Grammar [PA] by Nelly

Pros: Ok... I'll admit it.. I LIKE some of the songs, Some Good Beats
Cons: Commercial (yup, that's right), Materialistic Dribble... Nelly is a poor lyricist

Now that Chingy has become the new epitome of everything that is BAD in hip-hop, I figure, why not go back and review another album by a man whom I once thought (and sort of still do) was a terrible excuse for rapper: Cornell Haynes... a.k.a. Nelly, ...

Pros: Flow, beats, EI and Lovin Me
Cons: the lyrics are pretty pathetic sometimes especially at the end of Lovin Me

Music has a way of creeping into your subconscious sometimes. This is how Nelly was for me. The dj at a local bar started playing the track "Country Grammar" a while back, and the beat would always get stuck in my head. I never knew what...

Pros: Some fun, upbeat tracks.
Cons: The rest may sometimes cause great irritation, depending on what you appeal to.

The year 2000, and many new albums being released. One in particular, the highly anticipated debut from St. Louis, Missouri rapper, Nelly. With Country Grammar, Cornell Haynes Jr. struck the world with hits such as Ride Wit Me, E.I., Batter Up,...

Pros: Some of the songs are structured differently from the standard motif used by Dirty South producers and the increasingly musically degrading East AND West Coast producers
Cons: First and foremost, monotonous. Weak rhymes, boring flow of songs, subject matter is old - time to move onto something new

For many moons while working at my former place of business, customers came in droves, asking for Nelly's breakout single "Country Grammar."

I no longer work for that music store, but the employees tell me that customers still make...

Pros: You can still sell it or throw it away
Cons: Terrible style, lack of originality, same references to same topics, redundant sexist remarks, his name is Nelly & he is from St. Louis, the list goes on forever

"I'm from the Loot and I'm proud." Why the f-ck are you proud Nelly? I'll tell you why you're proud, because you made the cheesiest record of 2000, and millions of people bought your half rap, half pop muzak garbage. Nelly could quite...

Pros: Great Southern Rap CD
Cons: The Ced the entertainer interludes get annoying

Now I heard the first Single Country Grammar on the video and my first instinct was "WHAT ON GOD's GREEN EaRTH IS THIS?!?". Then I listen to the lyrics and what he says and I notice that he really rips this track. Anyway I am going to rate each...

Pros: A few hits
Cons: Lots of poor tracks. Terrible rhymes.

The 2000 album "Country Grammar" is the debut album by the St. Louis rapper Nelly. He rapper managed to break into audiences across the globe with his debut single "Country Grammar", and from this he decided as the lead member of the rap group St. ...

Pros: Nelly has talent.
Cons: That talent is crushed.

Popularity always comes with a price. In raps case, that price was it's soul in many ways. When NWA, Public Enemy, Tupac and Run-DMC came from the gutter and rapped about their struggles with a passion, it had realness. They weren't bragging, they...

Pros: Rookie album pretty good and good mix of R&B
Cons: take out the gangsta tracks

Now we have all heard the single "Country Grammar" but is there more to Nelly or is he a one hit wonder well let me tell you he is not a one hit wonder he is a real good rapper and his whole album is off the hook.

Lately Southern rap...

Pros: Great songs throughout the entire CD, uniquely different from other rap albums.
Cons: After listening, I just wanted more and more.

A few days ago, as I was prowling around the aisles of my local Circuit City, my eyes came upon Nelly's 'Country Grammar' CD located in the top 10. Not knowing what I was getting (besides just another rap album), I went ahead and bought the album...

Pros: Upbeat music
Cons: nothing I can see

Well, first let me say that I am not a big fan of rap. In fact, I can barely stand listening to half of the rap artists out there. So, it seemed rather odd when I heard Nelly's "Country Grammar" and I turned the volume up. In fact, not only...

Pros: Great Beats, some great hits
Cons: not enough nelly

I bought this album because I love the song Country Grammar. I could not wait for it to come out in stores so I bought the bootleg. The problem with the bootleg is that it is edited. This album is good but not great. It has two great hip hop hits in...

Pros: Unbelievably catchy, big on entertainment value
Cons: Nuthin’ but 3 min. Pop songs here- no shining Rap philosophy

Most people I know don’t see what sets Nelly apart from the rest of today's’ boring Gangsta rappers (Jay-Z, DMX et al), and indeed, it is hard for me to put my finger on what exactly it is. However, “Country Grammar” proved to be so damn catchy...

Pros: good dance
Cons: full cd does not sound as good

I love this song. I really do not know why, but it gets me in the best mood. I could not wait until today for the release of it. I hate it when a song is number one on the charts for two weeks before it comes out on compact disc.

...

Pros: good beats
Cons: everything else

I guess I'm gonna have to be the guy who gives this CD a bad review, so here it goes. I'm getting so tired of this rap where people feel they have to yell for someone to hear them. Whatever happened to just going up to the mike and flowing, every other...
