Nelly - Tippin' in the Club
Producer: Dutch & Juke Box
Album: Nelly 5.0
Label: Derrty/Universal Motown
As I wrote for his last album, Brass Knuckles, Nelly ironically suffers from Ashanti Syndrome, a condition that causes former superstars to become all but forgotten for no discernible reason. Not much has changed in the year-plus since we heard from Nelly – he’s still looking for a single that will re-launch his career to its former stratospheric heights. Will his new single Tippin in the Club be that single? Honestly? Probably not, although it will get the ladies dancing in the aforementioned club, and that has to be considered a good thing. Lyrically the St. Louis godfather drops the same catchy rap-singing hybrid we’ve been hearing since Country Grammar, but unfortunately his work on the mic gets somewhat drowned out by a supremely energetic beat from Dutch & Juke Box. Then again, I’ve been wrong before. Maybe the Booth has found its new club tippin anthem. We’ll find out soon. Nelly’s next real attempt at dominating the charts once again will come on September 12, when he releases his new album Nelly 5.0. Hey, the fifth time’s the charm, right?

i think Nelly was and still is great, but not so much on this song. i have as big of hopes as anyone that Nelly reinvents himself to one of the biggest names in hip hop, but this song wont cut it. its not a bad song, but its lacky Nelly's originality.

I agree with "joshL" on this one. This is ok, but Nelly can do better, and has to if he's gonna rise back to the top.

Def a club track, and like every other generic recycled club track it should do well there.

"its not a bad song, but its lacky Nelly's originality." - True that. |

I like the production, and Nelly's flow is as adequate as ever. I just don't think they make the perfect match. I feel like a different rapper could have murdered this prod., and that Nelly's flow would have worked over a different beat. The hook is sick, though, so this could work.

I am afraid "not bad" will have to do.

I think Ludacris would murder a beat like this; it was born for him to thrive over.
Not bad of a club track though. Not the single that will propel him to his former glory. |

Looks like it's unanimous. I don't think anyone's hating this track, but I also don't think anyone's getting really excited over it either. The wait for Nelly to truly comeback continues.

He needs a summer theme like Ride Wit Me to bring him back. There's still time left though I got faith.

NOTHIN' WRONG WITH TRYIN' TO APPEAL TO THE MASSES, WHICH IS WHATS HAPPENING HERE. ALL THE REALLY NELLY FAN KNOW HE ALWAYS COMES THROUGH IN THE END.

HE STEADILY PUTS OUT AN ALBUM EVERY 2-4 YEARS NOT BAD CONSIDERING.

This song doesn’t bang like it’s suppose to, it’s a poor attempt at a banger.

Nelly was at his best with Country Grammar. since then his 'hits' have been annoying. i'm awaiting his next classic, i know he has the potential to make one.
