'My HOOPTIE' When Rappers RAPPED. 'BARS' For real. Got that KNIGHT RIDER hook

[@1975JJD]

Big Jay tinted back window with a bubble in the middle.

[@tyruskelebon6917]

I wish there were more reactions to my hooptie, only reaction I have found is some kid that looks stoned and not paying attention to the lyrics at all.

[@Karlos2121]

Rollin in Tacoma I could get burned. Better make a u turn. National Anthem was another good track from that album.

[@cantecleer]

This album is amazing, sadly overshadowed by the success of "Baby Got Back"... DJ Punish was an absolute animal.

[@williamfrance856]

Baby got back is the worst song on this album.

[@usgamechamp1091]

Mix has to be one of the most underrated rapper. Some even think a one_wonder!

[@davidstephan5116]

Swap Meet Louie is my fav

[@jdw5889]

The bass on this song is insane on a good system.

[@bobbythies8892]

This bangs hard with 4 15's

[@ftrevino4493]

Posse on Broadway, beepers, my bad side, my national anthem, swapment Louie, My testarosa, I got game, Swass, Lockjaw. My hooptie, Ironman, Seminar, Buttermilk biscuits, square dance rap. All bangers!

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

Lol buttermilk biscuits! Haven’t heard that song in like 20 years!

I think it's cool that a young man has discovered SIR-MIX-A-LOY

[@jeremyboehm5512]

Sir Mixalot is from Seattle Wa. I believe he still lives there. You should check out Seattle isn't bullshittin it's on his Mack Daddy album.

[@BakedAndAwakePodcast]

LIKE A NINE I SCREAM STRAIGHT UP SEATTLE! A great Emerald City Rapper, Producer, and Mogul.

[@Originalevo1813]

He indeed still lives here

[@johnathonwright923]

He is one of my favorite underrated rappers of all time and the bass is so low and ridiculous and dj punish went insane scratching on the album !!! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jl-heatfan4life717]

THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM REAL RAP ALBUM I EVER BOUGHT, SIR MIX ALOT HAD THE HARD HITTING BASS, I GREW UPTO SIR MIX, MACK DADDY THE WHOLE ALBUM IS DOPE, LUV SIR MIX IM A HUGE FAN OF MIX ALOT....SEATOWN

[@gcapps100]

Sample was from Knight Rider.

[@73Goodfellow]

I think the quick sound is a sample from Knight Rider. Also has a Tone Loc sample. Best song on this album, imo.

[@anthonyceilyng5562]

Bulldog Mentally! I love it

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

One of my favorite all time sir mix a lot songs!! Love this one! Used to play this song in my 1999 trans am, had two 15” Rockford Subs! Man! Good times!!

[@rickcolumbo3148]

This takes me back to a simpler time when nothing was better than those orange rimmed cerwin Vegas rattling around your trunk

[@robbylong5510]

Love me some Mix. Gonna see him live in Nov. He definitely reps the Pac NW!

[@LgnShorty]

This song never gets old been listening since it came out. Thanks for listening and reviewing

[@scottyhunt]

Mix-A-Lot's from Seattle. .. Check out his SWASS Album

[@barlotardy]

Folks forget that Mix started out as a producer looking for a rapper. He only started rapping himself because he never found one.

[@johnhutchison936]

Mix has a whole catalog of music BEFORE Baby Got Back, from his SWASS and SEMINAR albums. Check out Hip Hop Soldier and Iron Man.

[@RudeLifeX]

Come to the live streams

[@michaelescuderoescudero5403]

It's a twisted knight rider back sound.

[@theheckler5878]

I’m just a 40yr old white guy, but I would argue this is Mix’s best wrap. The album is amazing

[@RudeLifeX]

What makes it the best.

[@theheckler5878]

@@RudeLifeX I used to own the album, I’ve listened to every track and yes I’ve memorized baby got back. But this one always gets the blood pumping. It’s great for when you’re feeling/want to feel like a badass. If you’re not motivated before you will be very quickly. I like to use music to enhance my mood, this song is always a “go to” for me.

[@theheckler5878]

So I’ve had all day to rethink my answer here. I don’t think I really am capable of actually arguing my opinion. I don’t know music and it’s terms. So as a consumer all I can say is that after 26 years of knowing this album, this track stands out the most to me. It’s one of very few songs I know/remember the name to after so long. It still creates the same “feels” as it did when I was a kid. His flo is fast and still understandable. His usage of swear words is more about emphasis. Just as a rapper I like how is songs are themed. I think that allows for a more focused thought process both in creating the track as well as listening to it. In this track he’s referring to his own ability in comparison to a vehicle that was very popular at the time. And most guys like cars. As a guy, I can really get behind the lyrics. I really don’t know what else to say..?

[@melaniegarrett6956]

The whole album. Period

[@Krisna_K]

I have this on CD and whenever I feel like annoying my neighbors I crank it up! The bass sounds so good on our large speakers! And I agree he didn’t get enough credit back in the day! But here in Seattle he had a lot of fans! You should check out “Posse On Broadway” and some of his other early stuff! And also check out Kid Sensation “Seatown Funk”! Seatown is a nickname for Seattle! Seattle’s speed limit used to be 55mph until I was in late teens! Sir Mix-a-Lot is from Seattle and is based there. I don’t know if he still owns it but when I was a teenager he had a house in Auburn, Washington! My friends showed me where it was once when I was 15 (I’m nearly 50 now). 😂. I don’t know if he also had a house in California! I’m not that kind of fan! 😂

[@larrymatthews9370]

Rick Rubin and Sir Mix A Lot produced the album.

[@mattpfarr5992]

My favorite Mix a lot song is " somethin bout my Benzo" Btw mix a lot is from Seattle

[@MilanFourTimesEight]

Matt Pfarr best track is „posse on broadway“

[@Karlos2121]

Benzo quad my buddys favorite back in high school. Had the big ole bass speakers back then. Would rattle house windows driving by.

[@TYLERNAVYGUY]

I hope you listened to his entire albums because there are many gems...hard, soft and straight up FUNNY! Talk about HARD, listen to One time got no case....or Jack Back, or search him with the Seattle Orchestra!

[@superque4]

The Orchestra appearance was EPIC!

[@williamwarner6580]

I'm your new God . Way dope hard hitting Track. Telling it like legit how it really is.

[@MikeDest]

Mix is a beast on production.

[@jeffrichards1537]

Mix a lot is severely underrated. Dude had many great albums.

[@TimRules2]

I was 12 when this album came out and for the most part he was the Baby Got Back guy despite the couple hits he had prior like My Posse's On Broadway so this album didn't get a lot of love from what I saw but I think it's very underrated. It also didn't help that The Chronic came out later in the same year and changed everything.

[@TT-bm2kd]

This song hooked me up to rap back in the day when I was a kid. Pure Power 💥

[@TheFitnessTutor]

Right. My mentor. I was born in 1976. Check out swass and seminar. Then Kid sensation rolling with number one

[@williamfrance856]

Had this album back in the day. Classic, epic..

[@johnnypickens9228]

I remember being like 17 and street racing to this.🔥🤘

I'd like to see him listen to some OLD too short!!!!

[@superque4]

People slept on how dopely diverse Mix was back when uniqueness was held in high esteem. From Posse on Broadway to Buttermilk Biscuits to Baby Got Back to THIS cut all dope and so disinct that you'd never guess it's the same artist. #Unsung

[@bmfnk888]

This shit bangs if you've got some subs. Always my favorite.

You cant listen to sir mix a lot unless some 15s is your car. Its an experience n o t a song. Should have done buttermilk biscuits for a laugh.

Sir Mix A Lot is straight up from Washington

[@williamwarner6580]

Yeah people don't realize how badass the , Boss... Sir MixAlot be. I don't can't even comprehend why peaple see him as a one hit one wonder? I always get pumped to hear his shit. He isn't Cali based. MixAlot is always repin Seattle.

Tacoma, Washington @rudelife, ECP=Emerald City Posse!

[@srsheepdog2671]

"Fake fools from around the way, knowin' damn well you ain't from LA" He's from Seattle, talking about local kids wearing Raiders gear trying to front like they're from LA.

[@PatrickWalen]

Punish still rocking the decks!

[@MrROTD]

The first Time I got a pounding sub in my car I had this on repeat the bass is so low.

[@melaniegarrett6956]

And, most underrated rapper in history, on God!

[@RudeLifeX]

Why you think so

[@melaniegarrett6956]

@@RudeLifeX strictly because of the Mack daddy album. His rhymes and the production were on point every time but all he is remembered for is “baby got back”.

Search up SIR MIX-A-LOT - Baby Got Back PARODY. It's called "SIC ILL - Jam"

[@bittnertodd3221]

Check out cars by mix alot

[@Karlos2121]

Fun fact. No samples on that album. No samples means no payouts. Means more money

[@superque4]

You sure? THIS song prominently features the Knight Rider's theme. The SWASS hook is straight from Vanity 6's "Don't Cha Wish Your Your Girlfriend". "I Got Game" hooks Rick James' "Hard to Get" down to the "Oom Papa, Oom Papa" line. ??? To be clear, samples were routinely uncredited and largely unpaid in rap's early days unless the song hit and was worth going after for royalties after the fact.

[@2xlsadf509]

Best use of the Knight Rider sample ever. He is from Seattle, not CA.

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

Mix is from Seattle
