MIMS tells us why he digs rock n’ roll and shares his playlist in this exclusive feature

A Taste:

Michael Jackson, T.I., Jay-Z

“There’s something exciting about rock n’ roll,” says MIMS with a smile. “Maybe I’ll pick up a guitar one day and learn that craft.”

MIMS’ latest LP, Guilt, has a bit of a personal homage to rock music, in addition to a slew of club banging tracks that proudly stand alongside any of the “This Why I’m Hot” MCs’ catchiest material.

MIMS decided to share his playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Check it out below and grab Guilt in stores now.

MIMS’ Playlist:

1. Michael Jackson — Thriller

My favorite album of all-time is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. That’s on repeat every single day. I love how it’s put together. It’s not a long record. Everything is straight-to-the-point. I don’t want to compare it to my Guilt album, because Thriller is one of the most successful albums of all time. However, I design my music so when you pop it in you can go from song one all the way until the end and say, “Man, I didn’t hear one record that sounds the same.” That’s what Thriller represents for me.

Paul Ben-Victor shows his funky side in this exclusive playlist feature…

A Taste:

Michael Jackson, DeBarge, Kool & The Gang, One Way

Paul Ben-Victor is always down to dance. The In Plain Sight star laughs, “I’m a big funk and disco dude! I’ve been throwing parties for years at my house!’

However, the partying extends beyond the homestead for the actor. Paul cultivated his love for funk and dance music in some of the hottest night spots. “I worked at clubs and discos around the world in the ’80s doing wild face painting. It was a whole crazy life. That’s another interview [Laughs]. We designed a kit called ‘Art Eyes,’ and it was Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s everywhere. I loved to dance—especially in those days. It’s in my blood somewhere.”

Paul opened up his iTunes once again for us in this exclusive feature. He shared his favorite dance, funk, R&B and jazz tunes. Check out his list below!

Also, be sure to catch Paul’s standout episode on In Plain Sight, entitled “One Night Stan.” It sheds a whole lot of light on Paul’s character, and it’s an edge-of-your-seat nailbiter of an episode. Be sure to watch it on USA May 31st 2009.
