Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

- Nelly’s debut, like Nelly himself is an extremely popular cd. The radio singles are great, and theres some other standout tracks like For My with Lil Wayne. Batter Up is my favorite track however. The lyrics and beats are equal…around about a 8.5/10. Its just a really addictive album. Ultimately this sounds a little dated, but then again only Nellyville is better in Nelly’s catalog then this. The verdict: 8.8/10

Nelly’s 2 nd album is, I think, his best. The album’s weakest point are the lyrics, but those are good. The production is great, and I liked about every song. Air Force Ones and #1 are great songs. Then there’s Dilemma with Kelly Rowland, and the anthemic ultimate party song Hot in Herre. Pimp Juice is also a creative and effective track. This is just a feel good album from 2002 that everyone should have. The verdict, 9.25/10. 

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.

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 begi...
