Is Nelly - Country Grammar a Hip-Hop classic?

[Polofresh4]

Yea.

Its funny....

Ive been talking about this album for a good two weeks now......This is definitely a classic.

However....you have to be of a certain age to fully appreciate it.

If you were under 10 or younger, it just won't hit you the same.

Some stuff....you just had to be there

 

[DipsetUnit]

Yes

 

[Taadow]

I HATED that I could not escape that album...


...and even I can admit it is a classic.

durring those first two albums Nelly had a crazy run of monster singles and was at the top of the game but i dont remember anyone praising his albums like that. I think country grammer was a good album i dont think it was great. But i give nelly all the credit he shook up the game and was comercial with out being too corny

I bought country grammer, played it alot and liked it by the way.
when im talking "CLASSIC" from that time frame and FWD albums like TM101 come to mind where the entire album was near perfect defined an era.

lyrically the nikka was terrible, his beats sound generic. BUT son had hits like no other, he really is the prototype to Flo-rida but people get mad when I say that

One of these things is not like the other but this is what happens when we have been inundated with trash for so long even decent albums get elevated.

Nelly wasn't generic. His sound was very specific to his area

We agree that flo-rida is generic AF

more like mainstream rap classic, it's not hip hop in it's purest form IMO same goes for Nellyville
