While Nelly became the only rapper to have five #1 hit songs with his latest smash hit, Just a Dream, many are wondering if the St. Louis vet still has respect of the hip-hop fans he came into the game with. With his new album Nelly 5.0 set to drop next week (November 16), he’s now looking to build even more buzz with a stand out track that features the routinely arrested T.I., entitled She So Fly. So, is this the record that will put Nelly back on the minds of rap fans? Does George Bush like Kanye West? (Think it over.) The song starts out with some slow, smooth production, courtesy of The Smash Factory, that immediately sounds like it was made for Nelly to sing over, and singing we get. While T.I. drops almost two full verses, which I’m sure will puzzle people about whose song it really is, Nelly throws in a middle verse to prove he still has some kind of mic skills. However, it’s obvious that Fly is more pop than anything, so if you were hoping to hear some Country Grammar circa 2010, I’m sorry to inform you, “It was just a dream.”

This isn't the Nelly that I became a fan of in high school, but ya know what? Nelly doesn't care haha. This is the Nelly that is making music for the charts and, as a result, should continue to see success with digital single sales.

@JR The answer is no. I don't really like it, but as Z said, Nelly doesn't care, and fortunately, neither do I. It'll be good for the radio though.

The Smash Factory does a good job creating engaging production to keep listeners connected. And the hook isn't great but it might just be enough to get this song some radio play. It won't make it high on the charts but it should make an appearance. T.I. has a solid verse at the begining.

This is obviously a leftover from King Uncaged that Nelly decided to scoop up for 5.0. The track is solid but I'm not sure how Nelly can possibly call this track his own. The production is nice but I feel like it would be better with an R&B artist on it. Decent track overall.

A little disapointing... But I think I will still give this a few plays (More because of T.I's solid verses than Nelly's singing)

t.i gets 2.5 stars, nelly .5 and the beat gets 1. so if you add it up its a 4, but not because of nelly.

I have been a Nelly fan for a long time. I love his work. Its such great music that he makes. But just like what Z said, this is not the Nelly i became a fan of. But its still a enjoyable smooth song to listen to. In rotation for me. Good luck Nelly. (even tho you dont need "luck")

Dont know of a rating to give it right now, but the song without the hook would be dope. TI or Cudi or even Snoop should have done the hook

As a Missouri resident (Missourian?), I am more and more disappointed with Nelly's new stuff. Just a Dream was pretty good, but that is when I thought it was one poppy slow jam of several hot rap songs to come. Turns out Just a Dream was the blueprint to Nelly's new CD. Wish he would go back and stay the Nelly of old, but I guess he likes getting paid and making music for the 13 year old girls more than getting less money and making hot rap songs anymore.

This will get more radio play and for Nelly that’s a good thing. Personally I’m not down with this but if Hip-Hop doesn’t sell then this will.

I really like this one! And true DJ Z - Nelly is doin' his thing! Even though true I am a bigger fan of his rap rather than mainstream.

I'm really digging the chill vibes that exude from this beat. Although I'd imagine Outkast destroying a beat like this.
Definitely not the Country Grammar Nelly I fell in love with. But I can't hate on someone getting his paper by something that appeals to today's mainstream. T.I.'s flow is solid! I'd imagine someone like John Legend killing the hook here. Nelly didn't too much to it for it to me. |

Not really feelin this song, but the first song on his album titled "I'm Number 1" is by far the best record on the album (nelly of the old days) and id say that it would be worthy enough to be a #1 hit
