The thing I like in this site is that even the albums of 1950s are available there. So if you want to be updated or shall we say �outdated� you can read on the albums� reviews and ratings. This can help you and also assist you before buying an album. How great isn�t it?

Nelly’s 8th Studio Album named “Brass Knuckles” will be released this coming September 14, 2008 under the Universal Label. The first single released under the album was “Party People” where in Nelly collaborated with Fergie and included some hip- hop icons of this time in the music video. There is one track on the new Nelly album that doesn’t include cameos from such urban-music A-listers as T.I., Snoop Dogg, Usher and Fergie. As it happens, the sole solo cut is called “One and Only.” Taking into account that “Brass Knuckles” is the St. Louis rapper’s oft-delayed follow-up to 2004’s somewhat underwhelming “Sweat”/”Suit” project, critics might wonder if the sprawling guest list is an admission of fading commercial prowess. So, it’s to the MC’s credit that “Brass Knuckles” still feels like a party. Check out “Body on Me,” on which Akon and rumored girlfriend Ashanti surround Nelly’s verses with singsong melody, and “Let It Go,” where the headliner rides a funky Neptunes beat. Throughout, Nelly and his high-wattage pals throw down with abandonment, not angst.
