Advantages: Great production Disadvantages: Poor rhymes
"Suit" is the second half of a double album by Nelly released in 2004. It has him work in his smoother form, with music which is more R&B-like, than suited to rap. This means that you have a choice with Nelly's music, whether you enjoy his grittier side, or his singing side, to then pick a CD to match your preference. 1. "Play It Off"
To set the scene for this album, we get a massive collaboratiion by Nelly as he gets a chance to rp as Pharrell ... ...rarely comes together, when it does, such as in "Flap Ya Wings" (off "Sweat"), it is always top-quality. The pair work together amazingly, and with the futuristic Neptunes beats, and Pharrell's great falsetto singing, it all came together nicely. **Four Stars**
2. "Pretty Toes" I was extremely impressed by this tune on the album, and it showed a different side to Nelly which I didn't expect to come out. Here Nelly comes with a club-suited track ...

Advantages: A Handful of Good Songs Disadvantages: Everything else
...did, with SweatSuit. Suit is the second half of the two-disc journey through intense torture that one Cornell Haynes insists on putting us through. While Sweat was advertised to be a more light-hearted, club-influenced album with no signs of intelligence or emotion. So if you're a gullable female who enjoys to show off her private parts in front of horny, drunken men who only care about what's below your neck, then by all means, spend your stripper ... ...in a row. Even though Suit is Nelly's best and most complete album, it's still mainly garbage. Nelly's lyricism and writing skill are still as low as can possibly be. Nelly refuses to stay on topic, and far too often tries too damn hard to appeal to his female fans by making essentially the same song over and over again with different lyrics, and that folks, is boring. So all in all, SweatSuit was a failure, but are we really surprised? Did we really ...

Advantages: Some decent songs Disadvantages: Some not so decent songs
...at least three other albums. Suit was released at the same time as another Nelly album, Sweat, this was an adventurous action releasing two albums at the same time and some people began to claim that Nelly was getting too cocky, but they were both successful. Suit claimed to be an album containing his smoother, sexier songs, while Sweat, as the name indicates, was to have his faster, more dancey songs. I chose Suit, if I had been richer I might have ... ...am quite content with Suit.
Nelly's music is a mix of R&B with a hip-hop vibe, popular with teenagers and youths of today - including ME! Obviously not all youths like it, but what I try to say is that rarely an adult of say over 35 (don't take my word as complete truth, it was a guestimate) enjoys this type of music, obviously some may enjoy it but enough of my ramblings. Track listing for album:
1. Play It Off 8/10 2. Pretty Toes 7/10
3. ...

Advantages: Original Music Disadvantages: Quite Explicit
Nelly has produced yet another great original album. His raps are original along with the well co-ordinated beats behind it. Nelly has yet again prevailed upon pleasing the fans with this production of his album. If you expect the best of Nelly you will find some of his best work featuring on this marvellous album. Overall I was exceptionally pleased with my purchased as it was value for money and not one of those cliche albums in which you hear ...

Advantages: Some Great Songs with great variety Disadvantages: A couple to fill up the album
I bought this in conjunction with Sweat, and this is definitely better. With so many tracks featuring so many other hip-hop stars, such as Snoop Dogg, Mase and Anthony Hamilton, the tracks are all unique, making it such a quality album. My favourites have to be In My Life (featuring Mase & Avery Storm) and Paradise, but there are so many great tracks. The only let downs would be She Don't Know My Name (featuring Snoop Dogg and Ron Isley) and Woodgrain ... ...The variety has to be what distinguishes him from so many others for me, making this such a good album, and one that I would definitely recommend to and hip-hop fans.
Here is my opinion of each track:
1) Play It Off - A great start to the CD. A nice up-beat track with a great contrast of Nelly's rap and Pharell's singing, making it a very good track.
2) Pretty Toes - Also a nice, catchy up-beat track, with some great singing and lyrics. T.I. and ...

Advantages: This album has slightly more slower, chillout songs than 'Sweat'. Disadvantages: Only about 2 songs that arent that good,cos he's jus talkin on them!
This album has chilled out, slowish type of songs, but at the same time, u can tell its Nelly! There are really good tunes featuring Pharrell and the guy who sings sunshine with twista, as well as My Place with Jaheim. I think its a good album, only a couple or tracks are poor, but u wudnt really care cos all the rest are wicked. U'll have these songs in ur head for ages after listening to them.
However i would say that mainly Nelly fans would like ...
