[Rewind] Dilemma : Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland

This would probably raise a wry smile from Berry Gordy such is the track's mastery of the art of black pop music. The highlight from Nelly's predictably disappointing second album, 'Nellyville', 'Dilemma' offers Kelly Rowland a chance to shine away from the blinding light that is Beyonce.

Get past Kelly's sycophantic tendency to name-check Nelly throughout and this is hard to resist. She does just fine sparring with the St Louis rapper (who sounds much more bearable at this tempo) on a slow jam that recalls countless 80s tunes, from Prince to Cameo. And you don't need a mullet to appreciate that.

LYRICS

I love and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
Need you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
You know I'm crazy over you

Uh-uh-uh-uh
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me
And she got the hots for me, the finest thing I need to see
But oh, no, no, she got a man and a son, oh-oh, but that's okay
'Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my position
Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin'
And in no time I better make this friend mine and that's for sure
'Cause I-I never been the type to break up a happy home
But there's something 'bout baby girl, I just can't leave her 'lone
So tell me, ma, what's it gonna be
She said, "You don't know what you mean to me," come on

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
You know I'm crazy over you

Uh-uh-uh-uh
I see a lot in your look and I never say a word
I know how n****s start actin' trippin' , and hate up all the girls
And there's no way Nelly go for it
Ain't f***in' with no dame, as you could see
But I-I like your steeze, your style, your whole demeanor
The way you come through and holler, and swoop me in his two-seater
Now that's gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya, don't you forget it
But it ain't that easy for you to back up and leave him
But you and me we got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turned to leave
She said, "You don't know what you mean to me," come on

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
You know I'm crazy over you

Sing it for me, K

I love and I need you
Nelly, I love you, I do
And it's more than you'll ever know
Boy, it's for sure
You can always count on my love
Forever more, yeah, yeah

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
('Cause you don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
You know I'm crazy over you

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
(You don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right

East coast, you're still shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
(You don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, you're still swingin' right

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you

No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my Boo
You know I'm crazy over you

Yeah, yeah

East coast, I know you're shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right
West coast, I know you're walkin' right
(You don't know what you mean to me)
Midwest, I see you swingin' right

East coast, you're still shakin' right
Down south, I know you're bouncin' right

[New MV] Nelly feat. Fergie : Party People

New song frum Nelly off his new album Brass Knuckles...

The album will feature fourteen tracks as reported by USA Today.Nelly explained the reasoning for the title as "the best way" he can explain "how hard it's going to hit you."

Nelly has a range of featured guests lined up for Brass Knuckles, with appearances from Akon, Ashanti, Avery Storm, Babyface, Chuck D, Ciara, Fergie, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, Pimp C, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, St. Lunatics, T.I. and Usher all confirmed.Jermaine Dupri also stated possibilities of hopeful collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. Dupri gave a look into the two collaborations, one being Nelly, Carey and Jackson all appearing on the same track, in which he stated Nelly has laid the following blueprint:

Nelly's got a crazy collaboration he's trying to put together, which is him, Janet and Mariah Carey all on one song...That's what he wants. If he could convince them to do it, it would be crazy. He wants Janet to rap a 16-bar verse, he wants Mariah to sing the hook and he's gonna do two verses. He has it all planned out. You ask him about it! This is what he wants; he's 100-percent deadlocked into it. He went on to speak about the possibility of the Springsteen collaboration and that two of his own tracks will appear on the album,

Unfortunately for Nelly he was unable to get to collaborate with Springsteen as he was too busy around the world, though he if still hopefull to collaborate with him on a future album, or even a repackage of Brass Knuckles On March 30, Nelly told hiphopdx.com that "the album would feature a handful of new producers".

The first single was believed to be "Cut It Out" which features the late Pimp C and Sean P, of YoungBloodZ, but was later confirmed to be "Wadsyaname," which was released digitally on August 21, 2007. Because of pushed release dates from October 16 and on, the official first single has been changed to Party People. Nelly has recently recorded the Jermaine Dupri produced track "Stepped On My Js" featuring Ciara. Nelly describes the song as "'Air Force Ones' and 'Grillz' on steroids."

[2nd time (Chopped & Screwed voice)]

[CHORUS]

Where my party people at x8

(Fergie)
Well it's Fergie I'm the Dutchess
Comin straight from CalifornIA

cause I'm in the spot spot.
Why he always tryin to be puttin me down on lock lock?
[2nd time (Chopped & Screwed voice)]

[CHORUS]

(Nelly)
Patiently waitin & takin my time
watchin these haters
don't come with they rhymes
watchin these suckers are mimickin, gimmickin
then they start fallin off one at a time.
You can go search but you never could find,
I promise you derrty I'm one of a kind.
Mold is broken, the formulas mine.
I killed the idea and destroyed the design.

(Fergie)
I was patiently waitin & takin my time
Now that I'm here I'm gettin my shine.
All of you haters can kiss a behind,
specifically speakin I'm talkin bout mine.
Don't need you to tell me, I know that I'm fine.
I'm killin it baby so call it a crime.
Yea you watch it I'm stealin my time
I told you before that big girls don't cry.

[CHORUS]
