"Nelly's 'Nellyville' May Top Eminem"
(6/25/02, 7 a.m. ET) -- Multiplatinum rapper Nelly's second Universal Records album, Nellyville, comes out Tuesday (June 25). The album is the follow-up to Nelly's Grammy-nominated 2000 debut, Country Grammar, which has sold more than 9 million copies worldwide to date.
The St. Louis-based rapper already has a firm grip on the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the Neptunes-produced hit single, "Hot In Herre." And with some 2 million units of Nellyville shipped to retailers, it's likely that Nelly will replace Eminem's The Eminem Show at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. The Eminem Show has topped the Billboard 200 for the last four consecutive weeks.
Nellyville features guest appearances by members of Nelly's St. Lunatics posse, including Ali, Murphy Lee, and Kyjuan. The set also includes guest performances from Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland (on "Dilemma") and *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake (on "Work It").
Nelly hooked up with *NSYNC earlier this year for a remix of the group's hit single, "Girlfriend." He shared with LAUNCH his thoughts about working with Timberlake once again. "What we were trying to do there, man, was trying to make something that was believable, you know what I'm sayin'? I ain't gonna come on there and have Justin singing about six folds and switches, and my hood, and stuff like that because it's not believable. No one's gonna believe that s--t. So, it was, like, 'Yo, what can me and him go on that he's gonna feel comfortable--I'm gonna feel comfortable--and we're gonna do our thing?' And s--t, there was girls, so we was, like, 'Work It,' you know what I'm sayin?' And we came up with a hot little track in about, you know, a day or so. We put it all together on paper in about 12 hours and stuff, you know?"
Jay E. Epperson, who handled the production of Country Grammar, also produced the majority of Nellyville, along with Wally Yaghnam. Fans who purchase Nellyville can gain access to a special backstage VIP area on nelly.net to play the new Nellyville videogame, and also watch and listen to exclusive footage. In addition, album-purchasing fans will be able to pre-order tickets for Nelly's summer tour for a limited time through the online backstage area.
Nelly will open the second annual BET Awards ceremony on Tuesday evening with a live performance of "Hot In Herre," and he is scheduled to perform the song on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno's Lincoln Garage Concert Series on Friday (June 28).

This is no suprise, it was obvious Nelly was gonna debut at #1 with this new LP. Em had his time up there anyways, he should be happy with 4 weeks running at the top.

TheOne: What are the concepts of the songs? Does he say ANYTHING even remotely interesting or important? I'm not thinking of picking this up but i'm curious to see if anything's changed (for the better) since his last album.

I Downloaded It To Sell To A Few Nieve People! ;D
And To Be Fair I Gave It A Few Listens (And Although Im Heavily Biased) I Didnt Like It. Its A Partish Kinda Album For The Girls Etc.
Its Hip-Pop No Shadow Of A Doubt, And Will Sell. Personally I Wont Be Buying It, Nor Ever Intended To. If You Like Nelly Then This Will Be For You.
But From What I Can See He Hasnt Improved Since His First Effort. Its The Same Old Regurgitated Shit :-/
Sorry Nelly Fans It Isnt My Cup Of Tea! ;) Go Support Quik, Daz, Truth Etc ;D

^^^^^^^ HATER >:( ::)
(j/k)
Thanks for warning me Rud, I won't be copping his album then. I was expecting it was a hip-pop album... :-/
Peace
