Mims: “This is why I’m Broke”

Posted in Rap by The Gossip Monger on April 28th, 2007.

Rapper Mims is flat-out broke, most likely because he wrote a song called This is why I’m hot with lyrics like:

I’m hot cause I’m fly,
You ain’t cause you not!
This is why I’m hot!

Then, just seconds later, we get this gem:

This is why I’m hot:
I don’t gotta rap!
I can make a mil saying nothing on the track!

It’s clear now that he should have shut up and made that million, because his album which sold just 145k copies didn’t make enough to offset all the expensive consumer goods he bought anticipating his own musical success. Instead of bringing NYC back, ONTD says he’s dug a hole for himself and his career:

Now, this rapper is in debt with jewelers, casinos and creditors. It’s doubtful that he can recover because he alienates the people who can help him: Promoters, agents and the fans who buy his music. It seems as if he has an intense hatred for his fans, he’s been in numerous unreported altercations with fans who simply ask for his autograph. He or his bodyguard-either curse out fans, push them aside roughly or threaten them with their lives.

There are two lessons to learn. (1) Learn how to write real lyrics. (2) Don’t rap with your name as an acronym. Then you’ll make a mil!
