"This Is Why I'm Hot": A graphical dissertation on the number one song in America

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

i heard the rest of the album (at men kui tei of all places) and its actually quite listenable

suuuuure it is.

[C0C0]

for me it was evident that mims was from ny...his flow is pretty ny-ish, i think for today's mainstream hip hop he has potential.. wouldn't buy his album but i would prefer him from some down south or westcoast guys doing the same thing....because i'm a hater

LOL @ the caption "ironically, he looks cold"

This is an example of literary excellence. A shining beacon of the written word.

My favorite line in the article

Would he sell less than a mil'? Exactly a mil', as when he said nothing? Or a great deal more than a mil'? The song does not elaborate.

song is beyond amazing

this is why i'm hot:

[fadingblue]

i think the first two things i noticed from this song was when he says "i can sell a mill saying nothing on the track" and the second is the song's flow's strange resemblance to "It's going down" by Yung Joc.

I wish I could reproduce this whole thing in one post, but alas...

The Voice is a bit of a rag, but their culture stuff stays strong.

This is brilliant:

Fat Joe was on Hot 97 and was saying this dude basically got the formula down, come up with a memorable chorus/phrase that even little kids can recite = money in the bank (shorty what you drink)

i thought everyone knew this?

its going down.

shoulder lean

tell me when to go

this is what mainstream rap consist of.

[broneck]

you really can't fuck with such indestructable logic. Why is he fly? Because he's hot. We aren't, because we're not. Shame on us.

additionally: money in the bank/shorty whatchou drank < rugers in the trunk, pull ova and dump

[lil brown brother]

he's hot coz he's fly .. therefore he's fly coz he's hot .... such simplicity .. it works on all levels

Lil Wayne's take on Da Drought 3 states that Lil Wayne is hot because he does gangsta music. What is Mims' take on this?
