Nelly's Sweat & Suit Double Review


Suit is the more sophisticated, introspective album by Nelly. It’s a good album with some real good and emotional songs. He consults the ladies frequently, but there’s 2 really good songs Over and Over and My Place. Other songs are also pretty good. Guests include Snoop Dogg, T.I. Jazze Pha, and Mase. I really feel Nelly should have just made Sweat/Suit album from the beginning and not made 2 separate albums. In any case this album is a win.

I give Suit an 8.5/10. Its typical Nelly with an introspective twist.

The party/club-thug Nelly album is Sweat which came out with Suit in 2004. There’s a ton of guest spots here, which can make Nelly feel like a guest on his own album. Some include Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliot, Jazze Pha, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, and of course the St. Lunatics. Lyrically the album is great, but the beats are just as good. The album has lots of depth and just fun to listen to. I really feel Nelly should have just made Sweat/Suit album from the beginning and not made 2 separate albums. Spida Man & Heart of a Champion are two of his best songs.
I give Sweat an 8.75/10. Its classic Nelly with lots of good songs.

Album Review: Schoolboy Q-Blue Lips

 Ok I am a big Schoolboy Q fan. I gotta say I love this album...but believe it or not what kept me from getting it till fall 2024 was that horrendous album artwork lol. I mean damn its gross! Schoolboy has some great flows and lyricism on this album. "Thank god 4 me" is absolute flames. "Blueslides" is another highlight. There's something about the song "first" that is just so catchy to me. "Yern" is also pretty hard man. The guest list is minimal but it works. The production is really good here too. The album isn't quite as good as Blank Face to me but its definitely a major improvement over his last album Crash Talk. Definitely check this one out. Lyrics 24 Beats 23 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 93

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
