Nelly - "Grillz"

[clem]

Full stream.

First single off Sweatsuit, featuring Paul Wall, Ali, and Gipp.

A video is expected to be shot in Atlanta soon. The Jermaine Dupri-produced track spotlights the trend of rappers outfitting their mouths with "grill pieces," of which Wall has emerged as major proponent.

- Paraphrased from Billboard and FMQB

The beat is good, but there are too many people rapping (or making excessive noise would be the better term) I don't think this is going to do real well. Nelly has definently passed his peak and I think he will continue to fall shorter with every new album and single he puts out, it's just the way the business goes, there are a lot of new rappers and radio is going to play them before they play Nelly. I think this is a pretty lame first single.

I thought "Fly Away" was going for adds?

It is. But this is too. And since "Fly Away" > "Grillz", I hope they push this one's add date until next week next month next year next century so that "Fly Away" can rise to its full potential.

[HER MINAJesty]

Yea the beat on this is hot, and so is the hook...but Nelly is growing more and more lacklustre with each single, nevermind album...

This is a step up from mis-steps like Err Time and I havent really heard Fly Away, but ya...Err Time was ok, but I think Grillz is better

[mst3k]

I've heard this twice, and it reminds me too much of "Air Force Ones"... it just has novelty written all over it.

[arebomb]

is nelly going for a new album already?

Allaccess doesn't list Fly Away as going for adds anymore , that's a shame , it's so much better than Grillz .
Now I hope that Grillz is going to flop , just to show them what bad decision it is .

[Krypton46]

Goes for adds next week.

[Diablo Cody™]

I hated this first.

I fell in love with it this afternoon, lmmfao. Well the video came on at least 5 times in an hour and a half. MTV2 Hip Hop, 106 & Park, Daily Download, No.1 Countdown. Yeah, I was getting used to it before but now I love this song.

[Krypton46]

2nd most added this week with 22 adds.

I agree with this, but it is so darn catchy!

[Matt4319]

The concept of this song is absolutely preposterous.

If I could call out a price, lets say I call out a lot

I'm changin grillz errday, like Jay change clothes,
I might be grilled out nicely (oh) In my white tee (oh),
Or on South Beach (oh) in my wife b.

(Had a whole top diamonds and da bottom rows gold)

[Paul Wall]
What it do baby

I got my mouth lookin somethin like a disco ball
I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set
I might cause a cold front if i take a deep breath
My teeth gleaming like im chewin on aluminum foil
Smilein showin off my diamonds sippin on some potin oil
I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill
20 carrots 30 stacks let em know im so fo real
My motivation is from 30 pointers V VS the furniture my mouth
piece simply symbolize success
I got da wrist wear and neck wear dats captivatin
But its my smile dats got these on-lookers spectatin
My mouth piece simply certified a total package
Open up my mouth and you see mo carrots than a salad
My teeth are mind blowin givin everybody chillz
Call me George foreman cuz im sellin everybody grillz

[Chorus]
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
Let me see ya grill
(Let me see my what)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(Rob da jewelry store and tell em make me a grill)
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(Had a whole top diamonds and da bottom rows gold)

[Gipp]
Gipp got dem yellows, got dem purples, got dem reds
Lights gon hit ya and make you woozie in ya head
You can catch me in my 2 short drop
Mouth got colors like a fruit loop box

[Ali]
Dis what it do when da lou
Ice grill country grammar
Where da hustlas move bricks

Where i got em you can spot them
On da top in da bottom
Gotta bill in my mouth like im Hillary Rodham

[Gipp]
I ain't dissin no body but lets bring it to da lite
Yeah was da first wit my mouth bright white
Yeah deez hos can't focus cuz they eyesight blurry
Tippin on some 4's you can see my mouth jewely

[Ali]
I got fo different sets its a fabolous thang
1 white, 1 yellow, like fabolous chain
and da otha set is same got my name in da mold

(Had a whole top diamonds and da bottom rows gold)

[Chorus]

[Woman]
Boy how you get grill that way and
How much did you pay
Every time i see you
Tha first thing im gon say hey.....

[Chorus]

As do I.

And I though 'Photograph' and 'Run It' were the worst songs I heard this year. Now they have a bro!

[HER MINAJesty]

This song is so hot! The beat is crazy and I've always loved the song. They played it at a club I was at last weekend and people loved it.

Thats probably because everyone was drunk ;)

We figured if no one talked about it, then it just might go away. :-\

(If that happened, then I might have never started to like the song, which I unfortunately am.)

[bubblepop15]

I'm surprised how much this song grew on me. I love it!

[DaveZ35]

Yeah I can't get it out of my head now. Go figure...

[MinusName]

This song does not deserve to even be in the top 40, let alone about ready to go top 10 and taking Natasha Bedingfield's deserved spot.

[perfectsituation]

I love this. It's such an addicting and catchy song. I can't stop but sing along everytime i hear it.

[reception]

It was the sure shot on Rick Dees this week.
