This is Why I'm Not Hot

I despise the song "This is why I'm Hot" by an artist who has cleverly named himself "Mims" because he wants his audience to wonder what the heck Mims means. I guess if you like shallow lyrics with pre-school wording, as many of the mainstream hip-hop songs do these days, then this song will be perfect for you. This is what I would tell Mims.

Dear Mims,

I don't like your song, "This is why I'm Hot". I'm sick of hearing it on the radio. Hearing this song makes me cringe and want to plug my ears with many wads of cotton or put on those lovely sound blocking headphones from Bose. You have truly outdone "It's Going Down" by Yung Joc, which was previously on the top of my "Most Hated Songs That Make Me Want to Bang my Head on a Wall to Get Rid of the Noise" list. Do you call this music? I'm not a hip-hop mogul or anything, but this seriously is giving hip-hop a bad name. First of all, your lyrics give me the impression that you have only completed primary schooling, maybe up to 6th grade. That's not good, my friend. Your chorus, supposedly the most "catchy" part of the song goes like "I'm hot cause I'm fly, you ain't cause you not. This is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot." Not to mention the fact that you repeat "This is why I'm hot" for over half the song. I don't get it. Looking at the rest of the lyrics, I can only conclude that the sole reason you are "hot" is that you are "fly". Fly, being "pimping" and sleeping with many women, dressing stylishly, and basically having other fellow gangsters covet your possessions and again, women. And apparently, everyone else isn't hot cause they aren't fly. There's a lack of creativity going on here that also goes beyond poor lyrics. I noticed that you used clips of Kanye's "Jesus Walks" E40's "Tell Me When to Go" and Dr. Dre's "Like This and Like That". What happend to your OWN beat. Granted, it sounds like some weird techno beat, punctuated by high pitched, echoey "woos". But, at least it was your own, right? Although I have to say, the parts where you use the other artist's songs are the best of the entire song.
I'd like to give you an example of DECENT lyrics in the current hip-hop world. This is from Outkast's "PJ & Rooster". "Nobody wanted to dance when I had a lot of time on my hands. Now i got a lot of hands on my time and everybody want to be a friend of mine." That is clever rhyming. There's a play on words right there. I applaud Outkast for their wit, and though some of their songs have conformed, a lot of them are original and unique. "I'm hot cause I'm fly, you ain't cause you not" is just ridiculously bad. Wow. Thanks for pointing that out, Mims. I'm not hot cause I'm not fly. Or at least that's what I'm assuming that you're saying since you don't even specificy WHAT I ain't or WHAT I'm not. I'm not fly cause I'm not hot? WHATEVER. I'm confusing myself now. Thank your fans for supporting your "music" because if they were all like me, you might be in trouble like K. Federline. Okay well thanks for your time Mims. I hope you take what I said to heart and search deep inside that little brain of yours for some good ideas for a new song.

Sorry, I just couldn't stand this song after I heard it on the radio approximately 15 minutes ago. I immediately switched the station praying that I wouldn't be greeted by it on another station (which isn't uncommon these days). Seriously, I think a lot of the music on the radio these days (at least a lot of hip-hop songs) are terrible. Trash. Thankfully I can turn to my iPod that has the songs I DO like, but this makes me wonder who actually listens to these songs and ENJOYS them? There obviously must be a lot of fans if songs of such low quality can recieve some radio time. What is this world coming to?
