THIS IS AMERICA LAND OF THE FREE RIGHT? HATE ON WHO THE FUCK YOU WANNA HATE ON.
Real talk,…if being a hater means I can’t stand some fake NY kid saying “I don’t got a rap, I can sell a mill sayin’ nothing on the track”…then I guess I’m a hater.
Mims is one of The poster child for fuckin up this shit,…and who is giving out awards for ringtones? What Real MC you know wants to win this garbage ass award?
fuck mims apparently anyone can be a rap star these days
Mims-"This Is Why I Flopped" lmao, this dude was to garbage
I was there heres how it went down:
Ringtone rapper of the year......MIMS!!!! (the audience goes into a quietness...)
Soulja Boy and Flo-Rida rush the stage..
SB: YA Mims YA!!! Hey pimpin, this is MY award!!
Flo-rida: Everyone get low, low, low. Hey fool I wasnt singin, this is a hold-up!! Like hold the fuck up, this is my award!!!
SB: Man, fuck both yall, I made the nation Superman them hoes, fuck your Low, Low..ahh fuck it, fuck yooooouuu!!
Mims: Hey guys this is why I'm hot, and youre not. I got this ringtone game on lock.
True shit, and the backstage convo was even crazier. I fforgto most of it, but I think a new rap group came out of it...The Wack Rapper Crew. So far the above mentioned 3 are the founders and I think theyre really looking into Mike Jones's availability( you know a guy like him is busy as fuck..lol).
intersting......NY cats forget about this lame cat when they start dissing corny lyrics and now a NY artist wins ringtone award......
Man these are the type of people that are killing hip hop. This mainstream bullshit is so wack. People shouldnt be worried about buying ringtones they should be worried about album sales and what not. If one song is all you got get the fuck out the game honestly. I 'll give him credit in the fact that he is getting money though.
Congratulations Mims!
You are officially the wackest nigga breathin'
a ringtone award? thats the best Mims can do?
everyone be honest when they read this:
Mims got all this success off of ONE song, which is, This Is Why Im Hot. It WAS a dope song, but his lyrics were weak.
Now lets compare him to another rapper:
Soulja Boy got success off of ONE song, which is, Crank That. It WAS a dope song, good beat and everything, but his lyrics were WEAK.
speaking of Crank Thats...thats how some motherfuckers been getting record deals. Pop It Off Boiz/Crank That Batman, Cash Camp/Crank That Yank. whats next man? the guy who made Crank That Lion King gonna get signed? what the fuck man!
the point of all this shit i just said was some things dont need to be recognized that much that they need an award show. ringtones...dope to have on your phone but a award show is NOT necessary for them.
and what the fuck Mims! step your game up! get a REAL award...fucking ringtone rappers...
the lables share the blame. to many crackaz callin the shots. they have no connection or love for the culture. nas was right, hip hop is dead.
Yo Im far from a Soulja Boy fan but.........
He actually has a few other songs dat get pretty good spins on the radio!
They are just as wack as his biggest in my opinion
One thing is for sure though.....BITCHES AND KIDS LOVE SOULJA BOY and they support him!
I hate to admit it but he's not a one hit wonder!
another thing with Soulja Boy, you heard about what Ice T said about him? he said that soulja boy is corny and wack.
then Soulja Boy came back with a pathetic comeback.
then Ice T came back with a HARD comeback.
this bitch (Soulja Boy) thinks hes that good in the game that he can challenge a LEGEND? are you serious? Soulja Boy...if you are reading this...step your game up, fix your lyrics, or retire.
please, because you come out with a fucking dance every two songs. everyone is TIRED of dances!
change his name to T.R.A.S.H
you know Jay said it better, this guy sale track "i can sell a mill sayin on the the track" ... seriously!
its all about da beat these day along wit a good hook. bingo you in business. that dumb shit is in da way. hip hop heads stand up.
woooow, the worst award group ever. close that shit down before I throw away my life just to burn it down
he makes newyork look bad
Dey trippin wit dis award, "Superman" was better than this song...and no disrespect 2 fab, but he didn't have the best rap song of the year....next time dey need "real hip-hop fans" be the judge. Learn it.
ReDef.
Whatever...Mims livin better than most people on this blog. If he can make millions being an average rapper than so be it. i wuddent mind havin some ringtone money....
This fuckin award ceremony seems a bit late...
By a show of hands who really gives a shit....
who cares?
fuck a ringtone
tha industry is goin full circle for those alive when rap first started it wasnt bout makin albums back then it was jus singles when tha shit first came out on vinyle an shit an those singles that were coming out were all party an dance records, rap was around for almost 8 years before tha good albums like paid n full came......thats wuts its doin right now jus goin back through tha cycle of shit, cuz even back then niggas used to be like this aint wuts happenin round me dancin an shit niggas dyin, cops is crazy....shit dats out right now was needed for tha black community after 911 in NY an then almost 4 years later u got Katrina.....ringtones are wut singles used to be same shit........jus give tha game time its comin back full circle cuz
do dj khalet get the "most annoying person" award ????
and do T-Pain get the "lame voice trend" award also???
i would like to know
shit i record my ringtones fuck payin 4 one ....n mims got is 15 seconds he done now ...its tyme for soulja boy 2 quit
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why the fuck are u stupid ignorant niggas hating on Ringtones? It's the future... The only way artist makes money.... No1 buy albums why pay for something when u can get it for free.
ringtone music is NOT MUSIC and the people who make it are NOT ARTISTS
whens the last time being a rapper meant you were an artist?
