Review

A Tribute to Nelly features a number of unknown hip-hop artists covering the St. Louis-based rap star's most memorable hits. While the songs' predominantly synth-based backing tracks are easily replicated here, most of the raps are sub-par, unable to match Nelly's uniquely mush-mouthed, winking flow. Miss Triss turns in a nice Kelly Rowland impersonation on "Dilemma," but the Nelly stand-in is mediocre at best. "Ride Wit Me," performed here by Dag Jones and the Supatroops, retains most of the original's summery vibe, even if Dag can't hit the notes in the chorus. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
