Remember when Nelly had an alchemist beat?

Guess it depends on where you’re from if listening to a Nelly album is considered bad or not

I’m from the Lou so I remember this album. This album had a lot of experimental features. Mase second comeback verse after lean back is also on this album.

I can tolerate his first 2 albums and a select few off this one

A lot of artists don't have work that you could put your hands on before they blew up. From my understanding, most of what became Country Grammar was his demo. He wasn't a plan. He was discovered by Cudda Love who was connected to Mase. Nelly's production was handeled by his childhood friend. Dude produced all of Country Grammar.

Yeah...before the mixtape era, most artist's debut albums already existed in some form prior to official release

He had music out locally here before Country Grammar. Somebody posted 1 of the earlier St Lunatic songs in this thread

While we're discussing such things, can we all agree that this was Nelly's best song:

Man that shyt used to go off at parties back in the day. Completely forgot it even existed.

I'm tipsy but I was jammin' to the track, this my first time hearing this

 

[Mac Ten]

Generic and weak lol



@savoutch @TheDarceKnight

Sounds like a Mobb Deep/Dilated Peoples throwaway..


T.I had a better ALC beat than this and his was a posse cut

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Wasn’t that back when you had to buy the album to hear the singles?


Imagine actually listening to that shyt all the way thru based off of Hot in Here

you forgot about 4-5 other huge hits on that album, plus it went diamond.

 

[Alvin]

people's reaction to this was hilarious, but I think I know what the issue with Nelly was, he always have to have a melody or harmony in every song. All his songs could technically go on the radio.

 

[Max Goonberg]

Nelly got a mobb deep joint that's hard

 

[Womb Raider]

Yea, imagine listening to an album based off one of the biggest rap singles of that decade

Having a big rap single ain’t enough for me to listen to your album. But if a song like “Hot in Herre” is enough to sell you on an entire album then I guess you bought Flo Rida and Pitbull albums too

 

[Harry B]

Alc was mixing a lot of people you wouldn’t expect on indie shyt back then

I remember when that song with those Nina Sky girls and Prodigy was all over the radio for like a week. Never thought I’d miss 04, but with the bs today…

What’s the name of the mase track ?

 

[Ziggiy]

Reminds me of my surprise when I discovered that one of Christina Aguilera's hit songs was produced by Premo.

I wasn’t surprised because Premo had talked about it in that Scratch Magazine with him and Nas on the cover. But I WAS surprised it was such a big hit

 

[Neuromancer]

Wasted on Nelly.
