First Time Hearing Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back (Reaction!)

[@dipsydoodle7988]

When gen z realizes their whole life is a sample. 😂

[@Nosnhojyerffej]

Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance falls into this same category of rap that is fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. Check it out!

[@NashaWriter85]

This. The End.

[@ContentHouseFilms]

Yes!

[@CdnTrader1]

The humpty dance is your chance…

[@oldvet7566]

Just about to have said the same lol

[@NetVoyer]

I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

[@IsabelleRSG]

Back in the days when we could all laugh at things and not take life too seriously... This is such a fun song still! Am glad the new generation is (re)discovering it.

[@exstock]

Just in case anyone was wondering, I, and all the fellow girls/women I knew when this came out, LOVED it. There are very few middle aged women who don't know it by heart.

[@JPMadden]

Sir Mix-a-Lot said in an interview something like that he wasn't sure how good this song was until he sent it to the record company. They called back minutes later, saying they played it for some of their employees, and that he should get ready to make a lot of money. More than $100 million just from this song! Another great song is "O.P.P." by "Naughty by Nature."

[@John-tn7nm]

Another song to checkout is by Kool G Rap & Polo - Talk Like Sex.

[@templeofthehut]

The correct response to anyone saying, “oh my god.” Is “Becky”

[@hayvanlarankara]

Factual

[@JD-fb6rw]

The phrase "Me So Horny" was sampled from the group "Two Live Crew". They sampled it from the movie "Full Metal Jacket:.

[@donniecouch5689]

I'm an old guy(51) ...I wish I could go back in time and take you with me to the 80's and 90's, you wouldn't want to leave,

[@SuburbanSavage]

I used to sing this song to my son when he was a newborn. I don't know why, but at 2am, every popular song from junior high comes roaring back with utter clarity. He performed it for his kindergarten classmates. That was a fun phone call from his teacher. She found it hilarious!

[@walkofnails2923]

Yeah this was released in 1992 and was huge in my school 🎉😁 Where I was in the white kid suburbs, the late 80’s and early 90’s was all about discovering hip hop for the first time. We had a blast 🙌🏼🤩

[@SuprousOxide]

The "Me so horny" line comes from a line from the Viet Nam movie, Full Metal Jacket, a prostitute enticing American soliders. The line was also famously used in a song by 2 Live Crew called Me So Horney. I think Mix A Lot was referencing the song, not the movie

[@citisoccer]

Love how when Mix gets to, "My anaconda don't want none..." lmao. Yes. She fully sampled the hell out of this song.💡

[@revgurley]

Other great songs by Sir Mix-A-Lot are Buttermilk Biscuits, My Hoopty, and My Posse's on Broadway. He's from Seattle, which during the late 80s, wasn't a big rap nursery. But his songs are good, catchy, and funny, so they really became a favorite at that time. Great memories. Yes, Niki snagged that line from this song. "LA face with an Oakland booty." Great lyrics right there.

[@billdemotte7152]

My Posse's on Broadway is a EPIC jam

[@mikeharris3733]

And to piggy back on this... one of Mix-a-lot's protégé's... Kid Sensation - Back to Boom.

[@meatpopsicle6244]

I was a young lad near Seattle in the 80’s. We listened to plenty of Mix A Lot for sure. LA face with an Oakland booty pre-dates baby got back by at least his previous album Seminar where he says it in “I got game” but I’m sure I’ve heard it in another song of his as well.

[@chungin955]

hey now cant forget about put em on the glass

[@jennameg4722]

OMG. I had totally forgotten about My Posse’s on Broadway… that was a classic.

[@seanmonetathchi1060]

Mix-A-Lot is so ICONIC in Seattle that he has performed his songs with Seattle Symphony and had woman from the crowd on stage to dance to this song!!!

[@trossk]

And that one woman is still probably all flushed from that night, Im going to go watch that one next =)

[@rickcoona]

*"Baby Got Back"* is a song written, co-produced and recorded by American rapper and songwriter Sir Mix-a-Lot. Released in *May 1992* *"Anaconda"* is a song by rapper Nicki Minaj from her third studio album, The Pinkprint. Released on *August 4, 2014* and *prominently samples "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot.* (a 22 year old song)

[@polyestawyldesage504]

Back then if a girl didn't look as underweight as an addict she was considered fat. This song was practically revolutionary. It definitely boosted my self esteem as a curvy girl who was told she needed to look skeletal to be attractive Also..you HAVE to follow this up with Bubble Butt by Major Lazer. It's not nearly as iconic as this one...but based on your reaction to this one, I suspect it will be a lot of fun to see you react to it.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Exactly. You basically had to be an ironing board back then and this song went against that norm/image. I'd even say it started the shift away from an unhealthy body standard or at least contributed to the shift.

[@ContrarianCorner]

As a white guy who _always_ loved a bubble butt ever since I can remember, I was born too early. When I was in high school back in the day it drove me crazy that all the girls would think they were "fat" if they weren't flat as a board in the back. Those were tough times for men like me. Lol! It's probably why I was always so attracted to black and latina girls. I loved this song when it came out and it's nice to see more recent generations FINALLY showing round booties the appreciation they deserve. 😉

[@markuyehara7880]

Mix-a-Lot made it "okay" to be curvy.

[@eldesgraciado6690]

Problem is that now being overweight is considered "healthy" by some magazines and Target.

[@markuyehara7880]

@@eldesgraciado6690 Depends what you mean by overweight. In actuality, having a ripped physique is not healthy at all. A certain amount of body fat is necessary for longevity.

[@TexasRivermedic]

I was waiting for your reaction when he said, “Anaconda”! So funny; keep them coming man.

[@TrojanRuss]

Yeah, you knew the mind blown was coming when he realized where it all came from.

[@robertcampomizzi7988]

That "Me so horny" sample is from 2 Live Crew ... and that sample is from Full Metal Jacket a film by Stanley Kubrick

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

The most fun hip hop song I've ever heard. Just puts an involuntary smile on your face. So glad he made it, back in the day it'd take the party to another level. What's so funny is back then the woman in the beginning was considered big, because being thin was so in. Now she's just normal.

[@mattblatchley2061]

that sample in the beginning is 2LiveCrew "Me So Horny" ...this song was HUGE back in the day....and this was WAY before JLo and Kim K made big butt a thing😁

[@TrekBeatTK]

Which itself was sampling dialogue from Full Metal Jacket

[@mattblatchley2061]

@@TrekBeatTK great point I should have included that

[@shwicaz]

This song was EVERYWHERE. This one takes me WAAAAY back. I miss FUN music like this.

[@michelebossoletti]

Shon, I played it twice because I love your reactions. We had this played at our wedding reception in 1992. That was the year it came out. So much fun to dance to.

[@hippiechic6772]

As Hip Hop as "Baby Got Back" is it is also ingrained in Pop Culture . There is an episode in the T.V. series FRIENDS where Ross and Rachel sing "Baby Got Back" to the infant son to get him to laugh . This song is iconic and lives rent free in a lot of peoples minds . Thank you for your reaction to "Baby Got Back" this was a fun trip down memory lane .

[@aircap]

This song went to NUMBER ONE on the Hot 100. Not the rap chart, the main pop chart! 1992 was wild!

[@TOPCHEF19733]

This is the old school hip hop I love. Please react to 2 Live Crew "Banned in the USA" They were a Miami based group.Activists tried to ban the sell of their album "Nasty as They Wanna Be. They made 2 versions of the album a clean version & an explicit version

[@TrojanRuss]

The sample in this video of "Me so horny" came from 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny" which, of course came from the movie Full Metal Jacket (Me love you long time). The Fuck Shop was another song that took heat for sampling Van Halen.

[@alanfoster6589]

I will never forget when Sir M did this with the Seattle Symphony orchestra and the standard symphony orchestra audience went nuts.

[@chelseahaley8350]

I love that u are doing all of the old school rap that I grew up listening to! I can rap this word for word! Buttermilk biscuits, Man U luv Ta Hate, Posse' on Broadway...They have so mamy bangers!! You should check out Young MC! Principals office & Bust a move are bangers!!

[@michaelruhnke6721]

😂 I forgot how funny this song was! I'm loving that your reacting to the songs I grew up hearing...some of the best R&B and Hip-hop...Rap...the 80s and 90s really had the best music for these genres!

[@divonarounds3228]

Sir Mix a Lot said this song was inspired by J-lo when she was a fly girl dancer for In Living Color. You are correct… this song was the beginning of big butts being on trend! It’s been sampled a bunch of times!

[@rharvey2124]

I still miss In Living Color!!!!!

[@auburnkim1989]

Your reaction literally made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing.

[@brentrodewald8962]

This was one of my main songs played in the 90s. My first car was an 82 camaro and i had more speaker then engine. I couldn't even guess how many times i played this song but it would be in the thousands...ladies need to hear the praise!

[@manzell]

This song absolutely changed the culture going for 30+ years now. And you gotta react to more Mix.

[@angrynana4439]

I'm 70 years old and play this song when I'm doing housework. I loved this song when it came out in the early 90's. He gave credit to women who were not stick skinny. The lyrics hilarious and the beat contagious. Glad you like it.

[@ubaldobarragan898]

Feel so good when young generations can see how good hip hop was in the 90’s

[@discodawn]

I was in 6th grade when this came out…we spent the whole year saying ‘OMG Becky’ to each other 😂

[@the-superbike-squad]

Brings back so many good memories. Me and my boys used to boom this and Possy on Broadway, up and down the strip. Great times.

[@lizrutherford2656]

Thirty one years later (Christ, I feel old), my best friend and I will randomly text each other lyrics. The last one was me to her "LA face wit an Oakland booty".

[@carla68]

"L.A. face with the Oakland booty" - iconic!

[@karenlong5616]

You should react to "Because I Got High" by Afroman if you haven't already. You'll laugh your ass off!

[@PopularMonsterUSA]

I’ve loved this song since it came out! It was HUGE! ❤

[@Mama_Michelle]

I have had this song on every single mixed tape, mixed CD, illegal download, and playlist since inception! ❤❤❤ LOVE IT!

[@thomasmoore843]

Another great Sir mix a lot song is My Posse’s on Broadway.

[@TheNitelite10]

Even though the rest of the album didn't accomplish the numbers this song did, there are some really good tracks on it, even if you were to check it out on your own, you wouldn't be disappointed. As commented earlier, *BUTTERMILK BISCUITS* is excellent. I don't know if there's a video for it, but I think it should be a gold tract.

[@michellemiller5620]

Omg this is so old. To me. I get this song. Stuck in my head at least once a week

[@heidirippl2815]

Anaconda did sample this,also I remember the "Me so Horny", well 2 things, 1st the scene in Full Metal Jacket and the Group 2LiveCrew.

[@RodVonLongrod]

Gen X checking in. It was a great time to be alive to hear all this great music back them. I'm glad the younger generations are discovering and appreciating this music.

[@onebadapple1979]

Sir Mix a Lot does serious rhymes too. Never got the recognition he should’ve before this song because he was stuck out in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest was known for grunge. Check out his song Posse on Broadway. It’s a banger.

[@CyndiWinter]

Now find In Living Color's Baby Got Snacks. The Wayans never disappoint.

[@mikeonthebayou]

Got to hang out with Mix once, dude is cool as can be and has a laugh that will cheer up anyone.

[@joshuahessel4915]

I think this pushed the boundaries of what could get radio airplay or on TV at the time without getting censored. He also has one called My Hoopty which is almost as good.

[@LuisChavez-qq8sv]

Buttermilk Biscuits, Posse On Broadway, Square Dance RAP are a must. You might also want to check out Baby Got Back performed with the Seattle Symphony.

[@davidr7813]

Damn I haven;t herd this for ages. It was huge here in Australia when it came out. Still holds up great.

[@dunhill1]

Brother, you crack me up so much. I'm dyin' laughing with you. You have the best reaction to these early 90s hits. You really make my day watching you react. Much love

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

I miss the 80s! this came out when I was in High School!!🤘🤘

[@gersonc.2737]

The song was a world wide hit. Mix a lot pretty much retired after this song. It made him rich.

Every so often I put his collection on. Brings a lot of joy and crazy reaction while driving with the windows down. lol

[@amypowell6307]

I was born in the 80s. My dad, a white man, loved this song. All the kids played it at birthday parties on a karaoke machine lol

[@moniquebrown18]

I love watching Gen Z figure out how awesome GenX was!

[@invisigoth510]

There have always been butt men but Sir Mixalot brought a Renaissance of butt appreciation If you haven’t already done it: check out Fat Bottom Girls by Queen from about 1976 The Presidents of the United States was a tongue in cheek rock band from the early 90s on Sir Mixalot’s label. I think he discovered them or produced them (their big songs were Peaches & Lump) If you want more humorous rap: someone suggested The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground There is also Da’ Dip by Freak Nasty Tone Lōc-Wild Thing, Funky Cold Medina Young MC-Busta Move

[@1COMIXMAN]

The beats back in the day were fuking goin off. I remember when this came out.i used to pump this through my stereo with bass way up.

[@williamblake9839]

Luv ur Videos & reactions... thanks much - Maybe you've heard it b4 but a song " It wasn't me" by Shaggy - a certified party hit and everyone loves. If U get a chance thats a great first time listen.

Other songs in this particular genre include Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen and Big Bottom by Spinal Tap

[@joekidd1057]

Early 90s we had this video station the Jukebox and this one was 1 of the top sellers. It was 2.50 a video. There had to be alot of debts cause these videos were constantly on. I have to say I'm a Rocker but in those we listened to every thing and we had some fun

[@ajruther67]

This song was so popular no matter who was listening. Even me as white girl. It was fun and funny and a jam to dance to.

[@TheRyan4778]

I never understood why white girls like this song, considering they get dissed in it, lol.

[@ajruther67]

@TheRyan4778 Because it's a fun song and I don't believe white women ate getting "dissed" as you put it. He is honestly saying the type of woman he HE prefers. Hispanic men call me white girl in Spanish. I don't offend easily. Fun song, fun to dance to.

I'm a 50yr old white boy, loved this song when it came out, love it now. Bro, I married my "baby wit back". Yeeeeeaaahhh.

[@AndICanTalk2]

While this is definitely his most popular song, I would highly recommend the songs Swass, Buttermilk Biscuits, and anything else of of the Swass album. He is way better than people realize, and he really had his own style, imo.

He started the trend 👍👍👍 you know that's right

He MADE butts popular. Before that, I never heard anyone talk about it. Well, I mean, you had Queen singing about Fat Bottomed Girls, but definitely not main stream. This song changed pop culture. First, breaking ground by even daring to sing so openly, barely veiling what he saying. Second by making fellas that ain't paid attention before notice.
