Seattle rap legend
Sir Mix-A-Lot has returned to the rap game with Daddy’s Home and a considerably
more mature attitude.
Mix-A-Lot, best
known for his crossover hit "Baby Got Back," has been branded a "one
hit wonder" by many mainstream outlets, but as those from an older generation
will recall, the rapper had success with his releases before and after "Baby
Got Back."
With early influential
releases like "Swass," "My Posse’s On Broadway" and "My
Hooptie," Daddy’s Home is Mix-A-Lot’s sixth album, the first the rapper
has released in six years.
"I grew up.
I’m still funny on some of the tracks, but at the same time, I didn’t
want to make a record and be talking about 15 cars and who has the biggest d*ck,"
Mix-A-Lot told the Seattle Weekly.
On this album,
the rapper says that he updated his skills.
"Guys that
are still like ‘I-like-big-butts-and-I-cannot-lie,’ it’s like, g######,
there are some guys still doing that. When I did it in ’92, it was sarcastic—it
sounded old then."
The rapper is also
expanding into other genre’s of music. He recently collaborated with rockers
President’s Of The United States of America on a yet to be released album titled
Subset and is producing various rap and rock acts from the Seattle area.
