You know those songs which have less lyrical content than a nursery rhyme, but delicious catchy instrumentals? Yeah? They torture me.
A case in point is Mims' spectacular one-hit-wonder This Is Why I'm Hot. The instrumental is reverbed-out bleeps of bass with a driving snare and handclaps: hip-hop heaven. The lyrics really don't bear analysis.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful magic of computers, the ever-articulate Talib Kweli has been able to perform the equivalent of a brain transplant by putting a new vocal on the whole track. Yesss.
Oh, and the video is just a mash-up of old Kweli videos: there was no video for this because the sample was never cleared.
