Honestly, what’s a remix about? Was the original not good enough? Right… Did the original not sell good enough? Or did the original sell well and you wanna get that cash once again without doing much? I guess the last suggestion is the truest. And if you release an album that ain’t got too much on it but remixes, you simply wanna take the profit of your current reputation but don’t have shit on the side for a “real” new album. Well, so did Nelly!
After the intro, a so-called interview where Nelly explains that actually a remix aint’ a remix but a reinvention ‘cause you reinvent the song – right… - it goes straight out to the clubs! “Country Grammar” with E-40, not too bad as far as my opinion is concerned. “Iz U”, that new single release – one the few non-remixes on this cd – is not too likeable in my opinion, but it’s a matter of taste. The rest is what we know in another way: E.I. two times, “#1”, Justin Timberlake appears on “Work It”, “Batter Up” with a whole bunch of other emcees (Murphy Lee, ali, Chocolate Tai, King Jacob, Prentiss
Church, Tru) and so on. “King’s Highway” is a new one as far as I know, “Air Force Ones” and “Pimp Juice” already been out in the world. The remix of “Hot in Herre” deserves separate mentioning, ‘cause this one’s a real burner. It’s like everything else built for the dancefloors, but this is gonna kick them booties up and out of the bodies!
If this wasn’t a remix album, it would be a typical Nelly record: a lot of dancing stuff, a lot for the clubs and stuff. That way, it’s just remixes, and they’re not too bad, not bad at all actually, but we just heard it. So if you’re longing for Nelly’s voice but listened to the old stuff too many times, go cop it, if you’re a fan I figure that you already have it and think of me as a hater. If you’re neither the first nor the second type of guy/girl, I don’t recommend it – unless you got a couple of dead presidents left in your pocket and your purchased all the other records already. Please, don't get it twisted: It's not a bad album. I just don't know what to tell you besides that you might have heard almost all of it before. And as far as I am concerned, it's not only the beats that make a good song, but also the lyrics. If I already know them, then it's not gonna make me freak out.

I didnt even cop this record, my friend got it from a friend who didnt want it, then gave it to him, then me, that made one hell of a frisbee, and one shit of an album
I havent heard this album yet, but I am keepin a look out for it. I am a heavy Nelly fan and I would bet that even tho its a remix album, it's just as good as anything else that he has put out there. Theres nothing wrong with remixin a song. It's just takin an already great hit and mixin it up and addin a lil more flavor to it. I think this was a great idea for Nelly to do.

As far as am concerned, d album is heavy. its one of the only few albums that i woulnt mind listening 2 all d songs and i would still wanna listen some more. Its true dat most of d songs ave same lyrics but like 'ride wit me', d tune its sang in is different and dat makes it sound new. Wot else can i say dan nelly's voice is just heavy on de album. I bought the album (obviously) and i dont regret it for a minute unlike some of d other stuff i ave.
