The fake vibe I got from the "Gangsta Rap" of the nineties reminded of late night professional wrestling and robbed me of all interest in Hip Hop. Nelly's latest release Nellyville, however, seems to have recaptured the playful banter of "old school" pre-gangsta? rap, fused it with hard core hip-hop, added actual singing vocals, and the one-track mind of whom, I believe, is the horniest man on earth! I honestly love this record. I enjoyed it so much that I was able to look past the fact that one of guys from NSYNC makes a sad, "last gasp at his career" cameo. The record reaches it's high points on the tracks "Hot in Here," "Pimp Juice" and the theme song from Training Day "#1," which features Aerosmith's Joe Perry on guitar. Whether you love rap or hate it, this is one you should definitely check out. I'll say I-told-you-so later.
