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 And Leather Wit A Hole, but still a great album. 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 Jazze Pha make the track that bit better, due to the difference in styles of these two and Nelly.
3) My Place - One of the best songs on the CD. A much softer song to most of Nelly's, with great lyrics and good contrast with Jaheim.
4) Paradise - Very different to the last one, but still even better. Great soft rap from Nelly with great lyrics and a nice beat.
5) She Don't Know My Name - Not as good as most, probably due to me not being the biggest Snoop Dogg fan. However, still quite a good beat and good singing from Ron Isley.
6) N Dey Say - A very good song, mainly for the very good, honest lyrics, making it easy to relate to his music, accompanied with a nice soft beat.
7) Woodgrain And Leather Wit A Hole - Probably the worst on the CD. Not a very good beat and not that special lyrically, the only real let-down on the CD.
8) In My Life - My favourite on the CD. A nice soft beat with great rapping from both Nelly and Mase, as well as Avery Storm doing some great singing.
9) Over And Over - Another totally different song but still very good. Featuring Tim McGraw, it is nice slow rap with a nice beat, but certainly not the best on the CD.
10) Nobody Knows - Again, totally different but still very good. Anthony Hamilton and Nelly make a great combination, and with a good beat and lyrics, this is a very nice song.
11) Die For You - An OK track to a great album. Quite a good song, very honest lyrics and a good beat, but not the best on the album by a long way.
