 (11 Customer Reviews)
Washington Heights rapper Mims performs a stylistic tightrope act on his debut album, MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR. The lead single "This is Why I'm Hot" established him as a New York MC who embraced the Dirty South sound, but the crossover appeal doesn't stop there. From start to finish, MUSIC IS MY SAVIOR emphasizes Mims's versatility, as he dips into crunk, hyphy, screw, and g-funk (see verse one of "Why I'm Hot"), all the while repping for New York City. While critics may claim his chameleon act adds little originality to the styles he dabbles in, they can't deny that he flips them all reasonably well. The Bad Seed, Bun B, Junior Reid, Cham, and Latoya Luckett are featured.

Rolling Stone (p.63) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he beats keep things moving: 'Cop It' traffics in big, nickel-plated bounce, and 'Big Black Train' is another bare-bones banger."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  This is why your not!
MIMS has no lyrical content. He has no foundation, he has no beats and he has no respect. Succesful and working professional sure we can give him that. But he is not hot. This guy is why I don't listen to the radio or watch tv. Fake candy biter. He will never bring true music, Wu-Tang is hot, A Tribe Called Quest is hot, Black Moon is hot, Gang Starr is hot even Jadakiss is hot, "so let me tell you why your not".

Senegalese-born R&B singer Akon returns with the follow-up to his highly acclaimed debut TROUBLE.

| | R Kelly Double Up CD (2007)
Music Is My Savior songs
$8.99 
R. Kelly's appealing, staggeringly successful take on hip-hop-infused contemporary R&B has been founded in no small part on his ability to make explicitly sexual subject matter sound as smooth and seductive as an old-school overture from Al Green. DOUBLE UP (2007), Kelly's eighth studio release, finds him taking ever more risque lyrical chances. While tunes like "Double Up" and "Get Dirty" find him in familiar lascivious territory, Kelly also turns to extended metaphors to detail his desire, invoking animals ("The Zoo"), electronic equipment ("Remote Control"), and cosmography ("Sex Planet").
Kelly's ...

It seems like T.I. hasn't gotten any rest since he hit it big with his sophomore release--2003's TRAP MUZIK. With an impressive array of LPs, mixtapes, countless guest spots, and enough industry legwork on his Grand Hustle label in the meantime, the self-proclaimed "King of the South" has been steadily putting in work.
With the follow-up to his multi-platinum smash, KING, T.I. carries a concept, pitting one persona against the other on the fittingly ...
| | Maze Silky Soul CD (1989)
Music Is My Savior music CDs
$9.39
In 1989, many of the soul and funk bands that emerged in the '70s had either broken up or disappeared from the charts. But Maze featuring Frankie Beverly was not only hanging in there -- it was still selling a lot of albums. Released in 1989, Silky Soul was yet another big seller for Maze; it was also the band's first Warner Bros. release (after more than a decade at Capitol). On Silky Soul, Beverly favors a more high-tech production style than he had in the past. Maze's founder and lead singer knew that urban radio was very technology-minded, and he makes some urban contemporary moves by using more synthesizers and drum machines. Nonetheless, Silky Soul is state-of-the-art Maze. In fact, Silky Soul is an appropriate title for this CD because tracks like the funky "Love's on the Run" and the melancholy "Can't Get Over You" are essentially soul music -- the production style is more urban contemporary, but Beverly's singing and writing is still that of a soul man whose musical personality was shaped by the classic R&B of the '60s and ...

Hong Kong import contains the bonus cuts "Away" and "No Time."
Flaw's debut album is a compilation of tracks previously independently released, and reflects the band's progress from its Louisville KY beginnings. It's a tribute to the singularity of the band's vision that the joins aren't immediately apparent. Flaw's songs veer wildly from full-thrust hard rock to reflective acoustic textures, with the sincere, youthful vocals of founder ...
