Mmmm I'm goin down down baby yo street in a Range Rover

I heard 'Country Grammar' in a club for the first time in AGES in Switzerland the other day:



I LOVE this song, and Country Grammar is probably one of my favourite hip-hop albums ever. It marked a new era of fun in rap music, and brought the south to the attention of the mainstream. For me it will always remain a party record. I discovered Nelly nearly ten years ago when I was a teenager on holidays in Florida, and the song 'Country Grammar' was just everywhere. I remember coming home and pre-ordering the album and being so excited when I got it. After that, every party and every free gaff in school featured Nelly, namely 'Country Grammar', 'Ride Wit Me', and of course the amazing 'E.I.'

I kind of feel giddy rediscovering these brilliant pop songs now. And I still remember all the lyrics! I think I'm a hip-hop cheezeball at heart...
