Keep Your Mouth Closed, Daddy!, June 7, 2006
This review is from: Grills 2 (Audio CD)
This has to be one of the worst songs to come out in 2006. The beat is lame, the flows are weak, and the subject matter is utterly juvenile. The video is just as worse, probably more so since you get to see Nelly and Paul Wall baring their nasty `grillz'. I don't find `grillz' impressive or attractive at all. You're better off putting foil around your teeth. Skip this.

Music for idiotz., April 27, 2006
This review is from: Grills 2 (Audio CD)
Hey, here's JUST what the bloated, boring hip-hop scene needs - yet another song about money and bling, exactly the same as every other piece of crap released by every other unoriginal idiot in the last ten years.
But this is different in one way at least - it's bragging about how much money, women etc they all have (funny how every one of them is so mirror-shatteringly ugly they would make The Elephant Man look like Brad Pitt - how DO they get all these beautiful girls to hang around them? You think they were paid models or something), but it's probably a great deal worse than any other cut and paste hip hop rubbish - because it's trying (and failing) to start another woeful rap trend that every dead-eyed, Follow The Leader kid will want to copy.
They have diamond encrusted mouth shields and braces. Oh, I'm sorry - that word isn't "gangsta" enough - these are Grillz. Not Grills, of course, because this is Nelly and all of his songs have to be spelled phonetically for absolutely no reason at all. So if you were ever worried that hip-hop had become an ugly parody of itself, insulting and forgetting the very purpose that the original artists had, there's always the likes of talentless chancers like Nelly to remind you that your worries were totally accurate. He brings in some of his equally witless friends to fill in the gaps, with some more tedious by-the-numbers rapping. Honestly, one day people will look back on this vapid, monotonous genre and LAUGH.
So a song about wearing gum shredding expensive braces. And people bought it and it was a bit hit. Do you sometimes think it would be better if a comet stuck the earth and killed every single one of us?

Overrated Garbage, April 8, 2006
This review is from: Grills 2 (Audio CD)
Calling this song cool or good is a mistake. This is a TERRIBLE song indeed. The lyrics are stupid, none of the artists feature their usual good flow, and anyone wanting to talk about teeth for four minutes is definitely inhuman. The beat is ridiculously overrated and predictable, while it is slightly dsnceable, it still lacks a lot. The lyrics also copy straight out from "Soldier" by Destiny's Child which is a much better song. I've seen better work from all of these artists (Nelly, Paul, Ali P) seperately. This song is definitely overrated and copied DC's track.
