This Is Why He's Not... Hot

The year 2007 has it's first new star. Will we look back in 10 years and say "hey, 2007 was the year of MIMS"? I surely hope not. Washington Heights' proudest son since J.R. Writer, MIMS (Music Is My Savior) has the number one single in America, "This Is Why I'm Hot."

Now, I don't want to sound anti-New York, or anti-bad music, but this is a very bad song. It's one of this slowest, boringest (not a word) rap songs that I can think of, and I'm just stunned at it's popularity.

Let's just look at one lyric:
"I'm hot cause I'm fly. You ain't cause you not." Moving on...

I mean, the first verse is sort of cool when they incorporate the "Shook Ones", "Jesus Walks", and Casio Keyboard version of "Nothing But a G Thang" beats, but it's still not that great.

MIMS sums up how I feel about his song with one of his own lines:

"This is why i'm hot
I don't got to rap.
I can sell a mil'
Saying nothing on the track."

True story MIMS.... True Story.
