To set the scene for this album, we get a massive collaboratiion by Nelly as he gets a chance to rp as Pharrell does the production and singing for him. Although their work 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.

2. "Pretty Toes"

Here was the first hit from the album and has Nelly rapping, and has him performing music along with Jaheim, who does all the singing for this piece. As Jaheim's Soul recordings of the past have been of such high quality, I knew that he would coem with something special here, and he certainly did. However at tiems during this one can tell that Nelly's lyrical talent is far below the standard which should be acccepted with him just letting the music play, and filling it up with little words to hide it.

Here you have a big tune which has Jazzy Phizzle return, however, unlike with earlier collabs, he actually sings in this one, and on numerous occassions I've said how much this annoys me. However, if you ignore the painful vocals from Jazzy pha, you still receive a nice tun from Nelly as he raps along with the West Coast's best rap talent, in the form of Snoop Dogg.

6. "N Dey Say"

Thsi one has a long skit to get it started, but I haven't got a clue how it relates to the track in any way. However, getting into it, this is a laid-back tune which has him rappign out all the typical thigns you would be expected to here from a southern rap artists, particularly those who come from Houston, Texas.

10. "Nobody Knows"

**Three Stars**

I respect the fact that hhe expressed this through music, rather than enjoying it for its content, as the msuic itslef isn't really that good,. however I felt as though I was focred to stay engaged with the tune as Nelly talks about the frantic situation in which his child was born, and faced various complications. The skit to start it off reinforces the feelings which he faces when performing it.

"Suit" is quite varied, as with "Sweat", and it is certainly a step in the correct direction for Nelly, as it is as if he's gradually getting towards the standard of those rappers who he's already outdoing with hype, despite consistently poor quality rhymes. I wouldn't be able to compare this in terms of quality against "Sweat", so if you are a fan of him music, then you have to get both, but if you just wish to see if he's really on the way to being a top rapper in the game, then get the mashup of the two albums, "Sweatsuit", which uses the best tacks off both releases.
