After having heard the song at the ARC earlier today, I finally get around to looking up the lyrics to find out why rapper Mims (
¡¿Mims?!) is hot and the disappointment is palpable. Not only is the reason vague and unsatisfying - "I'm hot 'cause I'm
fly," but the even more incomplete follow-up explains why (male) listeners can't aspire to hotness - "You ain't 'cause you're not." Among other faux pas and absences of logic the rapper at one points says that he goes from " 'Frisco to Sac-Town." While we don't really don't call it " 'Frisco" we do sometimes say "Sac-Town." Tourist or not, I hope he left before 3:00 or after 7:00 because traffic in that direction is
hella bad.
Rob Harvilla of
The Village Voice offered
this logical/grammatical analysis of the song.
I'd also been wondering what exactly Anthony and Geoff in 116 have access to, and the t-shirt Anthony had on today toyed with my curiosity until the elevator we were sharing reached the 3rd floor and I had to ask, "
Really?".
