| | The Longest Yard is the story of a pro quarterback Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) and former college champion and coach (Burt Reynolds), who are doing time in the same prison. Asked to put together a team of inmates to take on the guards, Crewe enlists the help of Scarborough to coach the inmates to victory in a football game "fixed" to turn out quite another way.
In addition to co-starring in The Longest Yard movie (Paramount Pictures), Nelly is the executive producer on the soundtrack which will feature songs by D-12, Lil Wayne, Akon, Murphy Lee and introduces new up and coming Derrty Entertainment artists Jung Tru and King Jacob. The lead single from The Longest Yard soundtrack is Nelly's Errtime produced by Jazze Pha.

He's one of the film's co-stars, he exec produces, he contributes to its soundtrack, and he releases it , too, via his Derrty Ent imprint. Yes, Nelly in 2005 is a triple-threat media mogul, playing on all sides of the ball. His "Errtime" single kicks off the set. It doesn't have the subconscious staying power of a killer summer jam. But Nelly's consonant manipulation and punchy phrasing make it pretty catchy (even if it's meaningless); the Jazze Pha production mixes vibrant, chattering percussion with Southern rap's familiar mechanistic whistle, and new Nelly lieutenants Jung Tru and King Jacob are eager enough. A lot of The Longest Yard takes its explicit content warning to heart -- it's a movie about jail, after all, even if Adam Sandler's in the center giving guards wet willies. Ali (St. Lunatics) and Big Gipp (Goodie Mob) team for the chest-beating "Let 'Em Fight," WC "comes out swingin' like Ron Artest" on "Whip Yo Ass," and Taylor Made (Jung Tru, Gube, and Ghost) get help from Nelly on the slowed, slurred bravura of "Datz on My Mama." This is about how The Longest Yard goes, with raps about football -- D12 and Eminem's "My Ballz" being a goofily crass example -- spliced to jail cell and pop culture references. Derrty regular Murphy Lee, King Jacob, and Prentice Church rock some ridiculous word-jumble verses on the terrific "Stomp." (King Jacob gets credit for rhyming "2040" with "Bacardi" instead of the usual "party.") T.I.'s "Bounce Like This" is also a Longest Yard standout. The soundtrack has some filler, too -- Nelly takes a knee on the believe-in-yourself pop-rap ballad "Fly Away" -- but it's mostly a solid set, particularly if you're a fan of the Derrty roster. It figures out a way to win. ~ Johnny Loftus | | Given the prominent role Nelly plays in the Adam Sandler film THE LONGEST YARD, it's no surprise that the rapper ends up pulling producer duty on the accompanying soundtrack. The St. Louis native naturally looked to his own Derrty Entertainment stable of stars for this collection. One of the most notable talents appearing is St. Lunatic Murphy Lee, who contributes the thumping cut "Stomp" alongside King Jacob and Prentiss Church. Nelly himself even pops up on a number of tracks, helping with the heavy lifting on W.C.'s very Dr. Dre-like "Whip Yo Ass" and collaborating with Jung Tru and King Jacob on the electro-funk jam "Errtime." | | On other tracks, Nelly looks to different corners of the hip-hop world, recruiting Houston mixtape king Chamillionaire and his running buddy David Banner to bring plenty of attitude to the swaggering "Talking That Talk." Atlanta rhyme merchant T.I. also pops in with the slow-rolling "Bounce Like This." The most notable contribution, however, comes from D12, who appear with their mentor Eminem to serve up a double-entendre-laced track carried along by a deftly utilized "Peter Gunn Theme" sample. |
