Nelly Country Grammar Album Download Zip 41

Much of Nelly's rap style draws from his origins, as it contains Southern drawl with Midwestern,[6] Missouri twang,[7] that incorporates both country and urban styles.[6] In conjunction, Nelly approaches a pop-rap singalong vocal style, which AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier notes present within Country Grammar's tracks including "Ride wit Me" and "E.I.".[8] Peter Shapiro described Nelly's singing and rapping as using "unforgettable hooks based on schoolyard songs, double-dutch chants, and nonsense rhymes".[7] Much of Country Grammar's tracks are bass-heavy,[9][10] that are primarily Southern hip-hop based and minimalistic.[11] In the album's self-titled track, Nelly's vocals are slurred and slow,[12] and are a "smooth, slippery-fast instrument" with "reggae inflections".[9] Rolling Stone journalist Kris Ex found the song's lyrics to depict Nelly "riding around town in an expensive SUV with an assault weapon".[10] "Ride wit Me" is a rap and pop crossover[12] that samples DeBarge's 1982 song "I Like It",[5] and its lyrics feature Nelly introspecting.[9] Ex found the chorus of "E.I." to contain the vocal style of rapper The Notorious B.I.G.[10] "Luven Me" samples "Don't Stop (Ever Loving Me)" by One Way and "Whatever You Want" by Tony! Toni! Toné!.[5] Steve Sutherland of NME interpreted "Luven Me" as a "virtual rewrite" of rapper Tupac Shakur's 1995 "Dear Mama".[12]
The Best New Artist category, won by Christina Aguilera and Lauryn Hill the last two years, could turn into a five-way horse-race. Top candidates include Sisqo, the Dru Hill alum who became a soul icon seemingly overnight on the heels of the chart-busting "Thong Song"; Dido, whose haunting sample on Eminem's "Stan" helped boost her own album past Platinum; Nelly, the St. Louis hip-hop star who dominated the charts; Papa Roach, Sacto rap-rockers whose "Infest" sold 2.5 million copies; and Shelby Lynne, a country crooner who crossed over to pop-rock to rave reviews. Jill Scott, David Gray and A Perfect Circle are also strong possibilities in this category, while teen stars Billy Gilman, Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore could be in the hunt as well.
