Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Nelly's multi-multi-platinum Country Grammar casts a long shadow over the rest of the St. Lunatics crew, so one would think that as the crew's elder statesperson, Ali would do something, anything, to distinguish himself. Sadly, he doesn't veer too far away from the pathetically predictable hooks ("Ore Ore") or simpleton catch phrasings ("Wiggle, Wiggle") made famous by his stable mate--and this release suffers as a result. Clearly, Ali's selling point comes when he's in his no-nonsense, braggadocio lyrical mode ("I Got This," "No") or parodying subjects like the church ("Collection Plate") and class-combo women ("Boughetto"). But the vast amount of filler sullies his occasional attempts to wax about poignant subject matter such as safe casual sex ("Crucial"). Ali is on cruise control here, and it shows. --Dalton Higgins

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY DISAPPOINTING, April 13, 2004

By	"gregman863" (Cashville, TN) - See all my reviews

It seems like everyone is scared to say how bad this album is because they love Nelly. Nelly is good, Ali is bad, very bad. He is okay in the St. Lunatics buy cannot carry a song by himself, and this is terrible!

I Got This-9.2 an awesome beat and lyrics

Crucial-9.5 I like this track because it sends you in a certain mood

Ore Ore O-8.0 I truly don't really like this one

No-9.0 For all the haterz

Boughetto-10.0 The hit single

360-9.7 good song for layin back

Wiggle Wiggle-10.0 An awesome track

Drop Top-7.0 an ok song

Collection Plate-8.6 A very funny one

Passin Me By-8.9 A good song to se how many times he can rhyme
with Toya she is hot

B***h-8.9 about people if they don't do certain things that they are a ...

Beast-9.2 tight song

Cool as Hell-10.0 an awesome upbeat song for clubs that need a good flow

I hope Murphy Lee comes out with one soon
