The Rapper Who Likes Bowling
(3 of 3)
The albums are also unremittingly fun, and that has nothing to do with the guest appearances. Even during moments of seriousness--for instance, when a 200 game is in sight--Nelly sings and bops and jokes incessantly. When, in the last of eight games, he wins a bet that means a writer must perform a song of Nelly's choice in an adjacent karaoke bar (his Pin-Up Bowl record is mentioned only after the interview), he spends a good long time perusing the songbook--"Boy, there's just so many good ones!"--while star-stunned teenagers in cowboy hats cover his greatest hits. Finally, he grabs the mike to wild applause and says, "Please give it up for a very special man from a very special magazine who's going to sing a very special song." The song? It's Raining Men. Naturally, Nelly sings along.
