 (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.
Recording information: Blackout, Miami, FL.
Additional personnel: J. Holiday, Purple Popcorn, Letoya Luckett, Junior Reid, Seed, Cham, Bun B.
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."
Entertainment Weekly (p.71) - "Mims' quick, confident style recalls Jay-Z's mid-'90s blinged-out phase -- not a bad starting point..." -- Grade: B Music Is My Savior Music | List Price | $13.97 (You save $2.88) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, R&B CDs, Pop, Rap, Urban Soundtrack, East Coast Rap | | Label | Capitol / EMI | | Orig Year | 2007 | | All Time Sales Rank |  38367  | | CD Universe Part number | 7394530 | | Catalog number | 84824 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Mar 27, 2007 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | D.

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".

Purchase Music Is My Savior CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chamillionaire Sound Of Revenge CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Music Is My Savior
 $13.35   
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track is marked by machine-gun beats, and establishes the album's fierce, restless ...

Music Is My Savior
$12.99
On the studio follow-up to his enormously successful debut, STRAIGHT OUTTA CASHVILLE, the weight is on Young Buck. After a few stumbles, 50 Cent's G-Unit collective was hoping for a crew member to come up big. And Buck does just that, as BUCK THE WORLD follows in the same vein as CASHVILLE, marrying the Tennessee native's grimy Dirty South flows with a straight-up East Coast thug format. Still, BUCK THE WORLD reaches further, ...
| | R Kelly Double Up CD (2007)
Music Is My Savior
$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 topics can seem absurd when examined objectively, but it's hard to argue when the tracks sound so good. The production glimmers with help from top industry wizards like Kanye West, Just Blaze, Swizz Beats, and the Runners. Guest appearances from the likes ...
| | T-Pain Epiphany CD (2007)
Music Is My Savior
$9.99
Rapper-turned-singer T-Pain occupies a genre all his own: "Hard & B" is how he describes it. On his sophomore album, EPIPHANY, the Tallahassee native follows the same formula that made his debut such a success--namely, shockingly hardcore lyrics normally reserved for the ...
| | T I T.I. vs. T.I.P. CD (2007)
Music Is My Savior
$10.29
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 titled, T.I. VS. T.I.P. Speaking alternately as the rap industry mogul who moves millions and the street-corner hustler who just can't get the hood out of him, the ATL native is smart to slyly examine this duality on his own--a dilemma that has been known to dog the ...

| | Flaw Through The Eyes CD (2001) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Hong Kong
Music Is My Savior
$18.39
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 member Chris Volz as the glue that holds them together.
"One More Time" is a good example of the band's ...

Brad Johnson is originally from The Geto Boys, the rap trio who put Houston on the map. In this dark and brooding collection, written as a very personal diary, over the course of 15 tracks Johnson sets the record straight.
The title track takes us from the rapper's conception to his emergence from the womb, relating how he's the last of his truly tormented kind, while in "Look Into My Eyes" he admits the horrible ...
