While This Is Why I’m Hot and Like This became two of ‘07’s biggest hits (the former being Capitol Records’ first #1 hit in fifteen years), MIMS was busy preparing his sophomore album, Guilt, which is set to drop in March.  In contrast to Move (If You Wanna) and Bread N Butter, which had more of a buzz/street single focus, the Washington Heights rapper’s latest record finds him ready to get back to crafting chart-smashing hits.  Once again teaming up with Why I’m Hot producers Blackout Movement, MIMS lets listeners know how it feels to live the Life of a Star.  As Red Rat picks up the autotune for the “put your glasses in the air” hook, the Blackout folks once again go minimal, yet percussion-heavy with the beat.  Sticking to the formula that’s brought MIMS success thus far, Life of a Star should add another hit to the emcee’s growing résumé.

Umm... I donno, the production is tight! The verses are alright nothing crazy! I think it can grow on me though... we'll have to see and I'll probably have to rerate! (oh the chorus is not too good)

WTF is this?!
That sound repeating throughout the beat is mad annoying and there’s no musical reason for its feature whatsoever.
Chorus is horrible: bland and off key. One of the worst uses of the voice box I’ve heard. Guess that’s what you get when you’re not inspired by music but by money instead (doing what’s hot at the moment)!
I acknowledge Mims improvement since “sayin nothing on a track” days but this song (attempt) is a disaster! I’d prefer it only with rapping and percussion (the “Bora Bora” moment was hot)!

I dont get it, MIMS always seems to be great when he freestyles other peoples hits (his A Milli freestyle was probably one of the best out of the hundreds of freestyles I heard), but when it comes to his own songs, their awful.

I dunno what he can do to improve, the guy needs some direction in his music fast, before he drops of the face of the hip hop world (if he hasnt already).

The guys got talent, but it isnt shown in this.

I can't say the production isn't fresh, but the overall result hurts my nerves, it all sounds really out of tune, esp that sound in the background. The good thing is that MIMS can rap and sing, but the rest is mediocre. Apart from him I also like the beat, but the music is too confused

This is a perfect example of the classic "If it isn't broken, so we really need to fix it syndrome." Honestly, MIMS and Blackout Movement must have concocted this record in hopes that it could become another "This is Why I'm Hot." That, it is not. However, it isn't terrible either.

In rotation, but not getting very many spins.

the beat is tight, but seriously this autotune bullshit is gettin boring. like tpain says "sounds like a bunch of karaoke!" rap aint about auto tuning.

other than that the beat was kewl, MIMS delivered on the flow. its good. just get rid of the auto tune
