Future Flashback (The Remixes) - Kevin Yost

Advantages: Original sounding remixes and it's Nelly!
Disadvantages: A few minor niggles discussed in op

...I’m now going to share my inexplicable obsession with Mr Cornell Haynes a.k.a Nelly. I am amazed that this is my first review about anything Nelly-related. I had started to write one about both Nellyville and Country Grammar but I found it impossible to be unbiased. I’m confident that I’m able to be honest about my thoughts about the latest offering from the talented St. Louis rapper. Most people are aware that Nelly was first a member of the St. Lunatics, and made is the first rapper to make it as a solo star. Da Derrty Versions (The Reinvention) is more than a mere remix album. It is the first that I’ve actually gone out and bought, and am happy to keep! Being a Nelly fan from the ‘EI‘ days I loved his songs in their original states, however Nelly (with some help from some friends) practically recreates his popular hits. Part... Read review

...This is my first album review so any criticisms or advice will be greatly appreciated. I decided to review J to tha Lo – the Remixes, an album by Miss Big Butt herself, Jennifer Lopez, as it is one of the CD’s in our house that gets a lot of play time.

When asked about working with Chris Brown in the future, Dream said, "At the end of the day, I'm big on principle and loyalty. Put that to bed." So, it appears that at the early stage of his all-star career Chris has locked out one of the most exciting producers. Personally, I think I would have liked 'Bed' even more if it was sung by Chris Brown. Everyone knows 'Bed' is the only track J Holiday will ever do that anyone likes. TRACKS She never gone for long, she be right back, be right back *01, Shawty is Da Shit ft. Fabolous (4.23), 4* *02, I Luv Your Girl (4.28), 5* Rather than the released track, 'Shawty is a 10', Dream opted for opening the album with an explicit version of the song featuring one of my favourite...
