06/03/07 - Mims' Ideal Video Girl: The Queen

igotmadstalkers · 06-03-2007, 07:57 PM

NEW YORK rapper MIMS is on a Royal mission.

After overnight success in the States with recent single This Is Why I’m Hot, the cheeky 26-year-old has set his sights on repeating his achievements over here.

And he’s not taking things lightly.

The star – real name SHAWN MIMS - is going to try and persuade The Queen to star in one of his music videos.

In an exclusive interview, he told me: “The Queen is an icon.

“If I could choose anyone to be in one of my videos it would be her. It would be so different and so cool.

“I do get a lot more attention from women since the single topped the charts.

“But I wouldn’t want your average pretty girl like CAMERON DIAZ or CARMEN ELECTRA. That’s too predictable. I think The Queen would like it.”

Mims
Ambitious star ... Mims is aiming for the top

Now, I can’t exactly imagine Her Majesty grooving to Mims’ remixes, but you’ve certainly got to admire Mims’ guts.

The rising star is an inspiration to any young rapper hoping to find a breakthrough into the record industry.

After many years with dead deals and production work, Mims garnered attention from major record labels with his independently released single This Is Why I’m Hot.

“I’m so glad it did well”, he said.

“I’ve been singing since I was 13 so I’m glad it’s all paying off.

“It was great to keep Akon off the top spot”

This Is Why I'm Hot is a skeletal tune that gives nods to classic New York rap with driving vocals and a heavy bass line typical of some of the best hip hop tunes to come from the US.

Also featured is a remix from North Miami-based producers Junior Reed and Cham AKA The Blackout Movement.

This Is Why I’m Out hits the shops on May 21.

The album, Music Is My Saviour, is out now.
