Retro Song of the Day: Mims – This is Why I’m Hot

Can you believe this song is ten years old? Me neither. I have never heard of this song before but apparently it was popular in 2007 among the commoners so here we are.

Based off what I’ve read on wikipedia, Mims is basically a one hit wonder.

This makes me wonder… will we treat 2000’s era one hit wonders with the same love as we gave 80’s and 90’s one hit wonders? Only time will tell.

This song repeats the chorus a lot and samples California Love and Kanye’s Jesus Walk for some reason.

You will note that during the entire chorus, Mims never actually says why he’s hot:

This is why I’m hot
This is why I’m hot
This is why
This is why, uh
This is why I’m hot (uh)
This is why I’m hot
This is why I’m hot, woo
This is why
This is why
This is why I’m hot
I’m hot ’cause I’m fly (fly)
You ain’t ’cause you’re not (Mims)
This is why
This is why
This is why I’m hot
This is why I’m hot

He also never did a follow up song called This is why I’m fly which I suspect led to his downfall as a rapper.

Such logically gaps in his songs is probably why his career never took off
