Al boils down to, "I'm hot cuz I'm fly, you ain't cuz you not," though.

The part where the music imitates various regional American art forms is the funniest thing I've heard in a long, long time.

someone i work with told me it's getting played about 4 times an hour on local radio.

― strongohulkington, Friday, 2 March 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

oh 'ouch' ethan, i interviewed diplo once before he was on the cover of 6,000 magazines and i posted on a sage francis message board - not something you 'discovered' but something i told you because it was funny. zzz at weak overused zings.

i dont hate this song but do make sure when chicken noodle soop (adams family groove) drops you do let me know

― deej, Friday, 2 March 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

The remix is pretty feh. (I say this because it's how I feel, & also because I want and waht to zing me.)

Mims is the worst name for a rapper since Peedi Crakk.

― Jena, Friday, 2 March 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, it's rulze. First heard it a couple months ago (I'm slow) while driving around looking for non-horrible dinner food in Provo, Utah. Mission was failure, but the hook's been bouncing around inside my skull ever since. In summary: thank you, Mormon radio fucks.

saying it would be big w/ the fader was not a MIMS diss, btw

Hopefully. I love "Lipgloss" so much.

I don't know. Is that written in your wikipedia bio somewhere?

i don't! his wikipedia bio is funny so i had to mention it there though. i like pappawheelie!

this is #1 @ itunes right now

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 5 March 2007 05:51 (seventeen years ago) link

last I checked iTunes it had 126 reviews that were either "it's great u r old" or "it suxxorz why are the children illiterate," which means it's the best single ever, clearly

― Matos W.K., Monday, 5 March 2007 09:00 (seventeen years ago) link

or at least best zen-in-action record since Spinning Around the Sun

― Matos W.K., Monday, 5 March 2007 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

synch up with the beat and this is excellent music video:

Why is one of the women in this video wearing Klingon make-up?

are you talking about Remy Ma? because she looks way more like Rick James circa 1985 than a Klingon.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 5 March 2007 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, what I don't get about this is that the more logical hook is to make the song "This Is Why I'm Fly," because:

I'M FLY CUZ I'M HOT
YOU AIN'T CUZ YOU NOT

...or is that too bouncy for Mims? Or was he really more focused on explaining why he is hot, and can explain why he's fly at another time? I guess I can understand that.

― call all destroyer, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I'M FLY CUZ I'M HOT
YOU AIN'T CUZ YOU NOT

dude no way is this better!

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

No one's saying better.....better can take on many, many forms at this juncture.

― call all destroyer, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

But look at the very next line:

IM HOT CUZ IM FLY
YOU AINT CUZ YOU NOT
THIS IS WHY THIS IS WHY THIS IS WHY IM HOT

^ This is much more logical than "this is why I'm fly" or whatever

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

The "why / fly" internal rhyme (never mind the "not / hot" endrhyme) is 56 types of shit.

Which I'm sure went through Mims' head when he was working on the chorus.

Also, this song is not about logic. It is about TRUTH.

― David R., Monday, 5 March 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

love the beat.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Does he mean he could sell a million copies of an instrumental or sell a beat for a million dollars?

MIMS VS TOTO

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

that mash-up has turned me 180 on the Mims track. love it now. how stupid am I lolz.

― blueski, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean i love the mash-up version not the original. and now i'll be disappointed when i hear the original and not the mash-up. i guess what i'm saying is that hip-hop production needs to sound more like Toto.

― blueski, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

wow i never realized how great that toto beat is. everything works about that mashup except the part with the toto chorus. kind of kills the joke, oversells it or something (<- see: 90% of mashups)

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

there must be a toto re-edit somewhere??

OMG steve get on it ... instant beardo cred ...

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

it reminds me of 'Regulate' originally retaining the Michael Mcdonald chorus before legal eagles said NO.

i was wondering about the Toto beat as well - has it also been tampered with.

― blueski, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

every time my roommate says "the beat on this is great; it's too bad the rapping sucks," i want to suffocate him with a pillow

― max, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

oops too late dude, there's a rune lindbaek edit of "africa" out on noid.

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

but it could be a lot better ... <- mp3 link

apparently it's a reedit of an italo cover? weird...

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

it better not be more than 100bpm.

This is actually quite good. I take back all the nasty things I said about it before I heard it.

― musically, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 01:30 (sixteen years ago) link

If I'd said anything nasty upthread (I said nothing) I would take 'em back too. Can't see dude doing anything other than disappearing quick, but I still kinda get excited at the first couple of seconds on this.

― bear, bear, bear, Tuesday, 3 July 2007 02:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I like his second single "Like This" quite a bit. Mims: most definitively not a tit man

peaked at 18 in the UK. wtf.
