That's my boy K-Curl on the left (notice the tufts of hair behind the neck, hence K-Curl!), with Mix's personal trainer ("...takin' weight gainer" -- you know!) Critical Mass, on the right. The photo was taken just before Mix's hometown performance during the Put 'em on the Glass Tour. Critical Mass, where you at???

(and 'baby got back' is a gimmick track that lives up to repeated playings, which is classic.)

I also heard a rumor that one mix-a-lot song was based on a sample of a cybotron/model 500 track that mike grant? accidentally left at a radio station in seattle back in the day...

Channel One's Technicolor -- yeah. I believe Grant took a bunch of Metroplex releases into the station on purpose, to see if the DJ would play any of them.

Most underappreciated Sir Mix-a-Lot track is Ride.

Most underappreciated Sir Mix-a-Lot track goes to "One Time's Got No Case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EynIA_-_BYQ
First single on Mack Daddy and the only song on there with a sample (Stevie Wonder) instead of just drum machines and synths. His anger and righteousness make the Mix-a-Lot octameter build in intensity through repetition. The 12" extended version is better than the single:
I'm-a tell you little story 'bout one time Cops always wanna try to take mine 'Cause I got me a Lamborghini And the cops hate to see me on TV But BOOM there I am rich rich I take cops' girlfriends quick quick I ain't gotta try to be slick 'Cause Mack Daddy takes no shhhhhhhhh
hhhhit's the man that you love to hate, etc.

I agree that "Posse On Broadway" is a perfect song but I strenuously disagree that it is the only one.

It's a totally obvious lift from It's More Fun To Compute which I never noticed before reading that.
― everything, Friday, 9 April 2021 21:07 (three years ago) link
It's More Fun to Compute has to be one of those songs, up there with "Amen, Brother", as a song whose sound was so singularly influential it pushed forward whole scenes and genres.
― octobeard, Sunday, 11 April 2021 18:57 (three years ago) link
I have a Todd Terje edit/mix of it (It's More Fun to Compute) that just smokes when I drop it in a set as if it was released yesterday.
