Nelly, St. Louis' first major rapper, is quickly becoming the hip-hop heartthrob. Still, he's more back alley than Backstreet: "Who said pretty boys can't be wild niggas?" he asks on his hit single, "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)," in which he rhyme-sings about riding around town in an expensive SUV with an assault weapon. His bad-boy mix contains everything from militant Five Percent mathematics sublime enough to make Ghostface Killah smile ("Steal the Show"), an interpolation of the Jeffersons' theme song ("Batter Up") and the Speedy Gonzalez-meets-Biggie Smalls chorus of "E.I." Quick-rolling liquid bass bumps wrap around his wordplay-heavy sing-song rhyme-flow, whether he's enticing ladies to "Ride Wit' Me," pledging allegiance to the streets with Hot Boy Lil' Wayne on "For My" or doing the civic-pride thing ("St. Louie"). Country Grammar is the best thing to come out of St. Louis since Redd Foxx.
