Why didn't New York get behind Mims (the "This Is Why I'm Not" guy)

He came out too soon, had he came out 2-3 years later they would have supported him by default (see French and the ASAPs).
No

ASAP had a classic solo and group mixtapes before he blew up. French also had few mixtapes, and feautures and was grinding for years before people started supporting him.

MIMS came out of nowhere. Nobody knew who the fukk he was, what what borough he from, whats his style, and who he rolled with. People knew his song, but probably didn't know his name.

If anything, he came way too late. Rappers have to put much more work out before they release their albums or even get deals.

didnt he have a joint called Like This too?

he was getting push, but it was during a different time and he was judged based on his singles

i dont know if he was good or not but those singles left alot more to be desired, esp from an NY cat.

didnt mind the whole Music Is My Savior thing.

His album was actually surprisingly decent....:whoa:...I walked in expecting complete basura. Plus generic crab in a bucket mentality. This was when practically no one from NY was eating and we didnt want this guy to be the one to do it.
