SOHH Exclusive: MIMS Denies Taunting 50 Cent, "I Respect His Work, Ambition & Business Methods"

A few places such as RnBHipHopMusic.com picked up on the initial report that Mims had said some negative comments on 50 Cent. The news source was cited as being WENN (World Entertainment News Network). However, we here at the Microsoft MIMS (unofficial) blog site let that sh!t slide like water since we had a feeling that it was a false report.

It was a matter of time before Mims would reach out to the people over at SOHH.com to clear the air.

"I'm currently overseas in Germany, London and France on a promotional tour for the international release of my album Music Is My Savior," MIMS told SOHH. "It has come to my attention that rumors of me making certain statements about 50 Cent are circulating the internet throughout the US. Basically, without getting into details these statements are false..."

MIMS, Music Is My Savior

Alex Macpherson of The Guardian reviews Music Is My Savior.

"Shawn Mims makes the kind of hip-hop that causes purists to wring their hands and complain about how the genre is not what it was. His debut full-length offering is not aimed at those looking for an artist with anything to say. "I can sell a mill sayin' nothin' on a track," he brags, and often it seems as if that is exactly what he is doing. This doesn't matter, though, when he is so adept at producing slick club-bangers: generic, yes, but that is no cause for complaint when the genre is so good. The album is a conveyor belt of minimal 808 beeps and nagging hooks; things only start to drag when Mims tries to get serious. Luckily, that is not often. This Is Why I'm Hot, a song that has taken the US charts by storm this year, is a brilliantly silly novelty; Mims drops a sample of hip-hop from various US locales as he name-checks each area, before launching into an irresistibly dumb chorus: "I'm hot 'cos I'm fly! You ain't 'cos you not!" Elsewhere, there is the usual endearing braggadocio, though presumably no rapper has ever before described themselves as a "very big squirrel" as Mims does on Cop It."

'This is Why I'm Hot' is Virgin's 50 Millionth Ringtone Sold Billboard Ringmasters No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 and iTunes No. 1 Top Track Has Sold Nearly 2 MILLION Ringtones

NEW YORK, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Capitol Records RIAA platinum-certified artist MIMS is being honored by
Virgin Mobile USA with a special award for being the 50-millionth ringtone purchased by Virgin Mobile customers. The milestone was reached earlier this year. Last year, Virgin Mobile customers downloaded 14.8 million ringtones.

The song that reached the milestone threshold was, of course, MIMS's Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash "This is Why I'm Hot," which has itself soldmore than 2 million ringtones, 200,000 of which were downloaded by VirginMobile customers, having topped the Billboard Ringmasters chart for two consecutive weeks. The song continues to hold the No. 2 spot on the current Ringmasters chart.

MIMS's single has also taken the national No. 1 position in Canada and Japan. "This is Why I'm Hot" made the fourth-greatest advance to the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 position in chart history to date, by moving from No. 32 to No. 1 in its sixth week. It held at the chart summit for two consecutive weeks. "This is Why I'm Hot" remains top 20 on the Hot 100, months after its No. 1 peak in March.

MIMS's Capitol Records debut, MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR, released March 27, 2007, debuted on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at No. 2, and on the Billboard national Top 200 album sales chart at No. 4.

Washington Heights, New York-born MIMS began DJ-ing in his early teens, and at age 20, appeared in Baby Blue Soundcrew's Much Music Awards Best Video nominee "Love Em All." Last year, his independent release of "This is Why I'm Hot" attracted local New York radio play, and a Capitol Records deal.

This Is Why Rapper MIMS Likes His Tea Hot

Photo by Melissa Hom

Ever since his club banger “This Is Why I’m Hot” went to No. 1, Sean Mims has lived on the road, touring behind his new album, Music Is My Savior. What does he miss the most about his hometown? First off, the habichuela con dulce that push-cart vendors sell in his native Washington Heights. “It’s one of the best things,” he says. “It’s beans and a sweet milk mixed together with cookies. It’s almost like a thick sweet tea.” He didn’t make it uptown when he was in town this week for a show at Avalon, but over a plate of sautéed jumbo shrimp, string beans, and a hot tea at Keens Steakhouse he told us what else he’s been eating.

Mims: Am I Still Hot?

Quinton Hatfield over at HipHopDX interviews Mims and finds out what's hot!

"Whether you like it or not “This Is Why I’m Hot” was one of the hottest singles to drop in the game lately. Many hip-hop fans that think southern hip-hop is about nothing were very shocked to find the kid behind this song was from New York City. The vibe of the song did seem southern hip-hopish and I’m not saying this is a bad thing. As he claims music is his savior New York rapper Mims is ready to show the game why he’s hot. Representing Manhattan, NY Mims is from a family of Jamaican descent and many don’t know that it was dreams of being a producer that led him into hip-hop. As time went on with producing it was only a matter of time before Mims would find out if he could rhyme.

One thing about Mims though is that he experienced hardships like many emcees who pursue their dreams in hip-hop to better their lives. Losing his mother and father at very young age definitely had to be a blow to this kid's life but through his love for hip-hop, Mims kept at ease to continue his dream. Who says hip-hop doesn’t save lives. Being from New York you know Mims has to have an opinion on the current state of hip-hop in the east coast and he answers to how he felt when many thought he was from down south. With the new album out, Music is My Savior, Mims explains why you should give it a listen before criticizing his music and why at the end of the day he wants to be happy."

MIMS x Microsoft Zune TV Commercial

Zune Marketing does a good job lengthening the ride of Mims' breakout single with a twist by adding a little rock to "This Is Why I'm Hot" with help from Purple Popcorn (Blackout Movement). This is what I would call Purple Popcorn's television debut on this remix to "This Is Why I Rock". Correct me if I'm wrong though. The spot first aired last night and will appear on MTV, VH1, BET, and Adult Swim. You'll see it throughout the NBA Playoffs and Finals as well as on the season finale of Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Lost, and Family Guy. Mad more exposure for the Zune as well as your boy MIMS! Thanks to Zune Insider for the heads up on this news!

Mims Album Cover Logo At the Center of Bushido Lawsuit

Chris Richburg over at AllHipHop.com reports on a dispute over the use of the "I" in the MIMS album cover. View the images and you be the judge! Who's swagger jackin who?

"German fans have to find another place to buy Mims’ hit album Music Is My Savior in light of a new lawsuit filed by popular German rapper Bushido over the artwork on the album cover.

According to reports, the suit stems from a similarity between a silhouette of Bushido from the cover of the rapper’s Deutschland Gib Mir Ein Mic CD/DVD and the "I" in the logo for Mims' name on the cover of Music Is My Savior.

Bushido did not know about the use of the silhouette in the Mims logo and his record label Ersguterjunge (which is a distributed by Universal) are suing Mims and EMI for using the likeness of his image without authorization..."

Mims: Hot, Fly & Famous

An actual good interview with Mims courtesy of Joi Rogers over at BallerStatus.net.

"Music has been his savior since back in 2003, when Washington Heights, New York native Mims set out at the task of starting a rap career. He was 23, then, and the possibilities were endless. Unfortunately, he had some toiling experiences behind him, as he suffered an agonizing loss with the death of both parents before the age of 13. Reluctantly, these series of unfortunate events were his ammunition of empowerment. That is how his story begins.

It is unlikely that when he linked with digital promotion company DigiWaxx or Push Plan Management earlier this decade, that he any idea he was four years away from reaching considerable notoriety. How could he? As he is predicted to have the largest ringtone sold to date, he now harnesses the power of six million listeners on MySpace, and is Top 10 on Billboard, Rhythmic and iTunes. He now pours his energies into his own label, American King, whilst promoting his debut album, which is out now..."

MIMS - Like This (Remix)

I gotta say that I'm somewhat disappointed in the selection of the follow-up single to the "This Is Why I'm Hot" smash! Perhaps another song would've been a better pick. We all know that the lead-off single is gonna be a hard act to follow. A valiant effort nonetheless, but I don't think it'll garner as many spins as when MIMS was lettin heads know why he's hot. I'll admit though, the original is still growin on me. I'm liking it more and more every time I listennn to it. However, thanks to the big homie, DJ Krayz, you may take an immediate liking to "Like This". Especially since it's Spring and its just got that, "let me stunt" feel around the song mashed up with D-Nice's "Call Me D-Nice". So here's a little treat and remember where you heard it first.

MIMS Kicks Off a Twenty-Seven City Club Tour Today Behind His Capitol Music Debut CD "Music is My Savior" In Stores Now. Tour Unveils On-going, National Partnership with MIMS and Microsoft's® ZUNE™

Download this press release as an Adobe PDF document.

New York, NY (PRWeb) April 3, 2007 -- He's brought the heat to the nation's airwaves with his smash single "This is Why I'm Hot," and now Capitol Music Group / American King artist MIMS plans to heat up the road with Microsoft's® digital media player brand Zune™ for a headlining club tour in support of his debut album "Music Is My Savior."

The #1 Billboard Hot 100 charting artist will kick off his schedule today, April 3rd in his New York City hometown and will hit twenty-seven cities on a tour that will focus primarily on nightclub venues. The tour will bring "Music Is My Savior" tracks such as "This is Why I'm Hot," "Just like That," and for the first time, his forthcoming single "Like This," among others from his debut CD to life on stage for many MIMS fans in cities across the country.

The tour, sponsored by Zune™ and promoted by the global digital music promotions company Digiwaxx Media, whose dominance in both the music and technology industries successfully garnered the partnership between MIMS and Zune™, will hit cities in a hard-to-miss, technologically state-of the art tour bus wrapped in MIMS' likeness. The tour will serve to unveil an on-going, national partnership between MIMS and ZUNE™ extending beyond the tour.

"The partnership between MIMS and Zune™ represents the new age of marketing," says Digiwaxx Media CEO, Corey Llewellyn. "The collaboration between an innovative company and an innovative artist showcases the emerging importance of technology within the ever changing music industry."

"I'm excited to join forces with a powerful company like Microsoft®," says MIMS. "This isn't just a great move for me but this is great for Hip Hop music across the board. In introducing the Zune™ digital media player into the Hip Hop community it further shows how powerful Hip Hop music is as a long-standing branding influencer."

"When we first developed a relationship with MIMS last fall we could tell he was someone we wanted to build with," said Christina Calio, director of music marketing for Zune™. "Zune™ is excited to partner with him on this tour and we look forward to identifying and supporting other artists in similar ways."

Breaking Billboard Hot 100 chart history for the third time ever with his smash single "This is Why I'm Hot," MIMS leaped to the #1 chart position (32-1) in March and has acquired the ears of the nation from radio waves to major sporting arenas. MIMS has the fastest selling platinum ringtone in the country. His new single "Like This," will hit airwaves April 16th.

MIMS posts Audio Blogs on XXLMag.com

You can now follow MIMS on his 27 date tour as he calls in and posts on the XXLMag.com's GCast series of Audio Blogs. It'll be interesting to see how long this lasts. Especially the inbetween time. Artists are known to go weeks on end before adding new highlights or news related to their time. Though, I think MIMS is smarter than most and will keep this sh*t updated knowing what's at stake with his career and the marketing arrangement he has with Microsoft Zune.

"This Is Why I'm Hot" Slowly Slippin On The Charts

8 weeks at #1 on the Billboard charts is not too bad of a start on the Top 100 Singles Chart. Last week his single, "This Is Why I'm Hot" was in the #2 position behind Fergie's "Glamorous" record. This week MIMS is in the #4 position behind Beyonce & Shakira's "Beautiful Liar" record jumping from #94 to #3 while only being on the charts for 2 short weeks. Fergie drops 1 spot to #2 and Akon jumps up to the #1 spot of this weeks Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart.
