    Ignore these groupies and face the truth: Nelly sucks. If you like REAL rap, try someone like Talib Kweli, not this piece of crap.

    Nelly is a talentless hack. As if rap and hip hop in general aren't inane enough. It is a sad statement about our culture when such incredibly stupid music is so popular.

  1. The disc is incredible.
  2. A great pop album that reconciles his sudden wealth, attachment to home, and desire to rule the world.

    Nelly's caught between a rock and a hardass place--he's too edgy to comfortably collaborate with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake but too corny to dig into the Neptunes' sleazily sinister beats on lead single "Hot In Herre." [Aug 2002, p.109]
