Nelly’s music is classified R&B or in other words hip-hop music. His music is rapping with a slow beat to it. The feel of his music is suppose to present real life situations that he has gone through as a person and most of his songs have a love side to them. For an example of a love song/emotional song his song “Just a Dream” is a perfect example. In this song he is telling a story how his love was just a dream and that it was something that should have happened for real. In a way Nelly’s songs and type of music cannot be compared to any other singers because of the style he chose to use while he sings. His music like I said is a slower version of rap singing. There are other rappers out there that have the slower version but by far Nelly has a different way of incorporating this into his lyrics and beats. Two songs that are memorable of his would have to be “Just a Dream” and “Hot in Herre”. This is because the lyrics in both of these songs are the lyrics that you hear the first time and the next time you hear the song you can sing along with them. There is a way to every song of his that catches your thoughts and makes you think about things in your own life as well. I agree with critics and how they are saying Nelly produces at a slower rate but every time he produces he tends to make a big impact on his crowd and fans. I think his music is well worth the buy due to the impression you get from just hearing his music and how it really does make you think about things in your life. He has had some very good songs recently and I hope he can keep producing some good music for his fans out there.
