Baby Got Back’ was already a reflection of what was going on. I didn’t see it as this gigantic political statement. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
Inventors often don’t know how to pitch their ideas. So many people in Silicon Valley want to hear you say ‘disruptive,’ and tote a ‘platform.’ They repeat buzzwords over and over, and I think it intimidates a real inventor. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
Look at Macklemore! Perfect comparison, we’re two artists from the same city who both had meteoric rises at different periods. I probably sold more albums, because in that era you couldn’t steal them; you had to go to a record store to buy them. But Macklemore had more power. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
I love Stuart Scott. There are a lot of people that tore down barriers that we don’t really acknowledge sometimes. He was one. I think James Brown was too. That cat was a soul brother when it wasn’t very popular to be one. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
I’ll tell you who doesn’t get enough credit, Soulja Boy. He was the first one to do something, post it, yank it down, and sell more records because of it. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
Yeah, I put out some goofy stuff. I had no idea who I was as an artist at all before ‘Posse on Broadway.’ Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
I grew up listening to a lot of Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, Devo, all that stuff. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
That was the coolest thing about ‘Baby Got Back.’ The establishment didn’t embrace the song, which is what kept me from being the next pop guy to fizzle out and get laughed at, get dissed on TV. That helped save me. The fact that MTV banned the record made the record, in a weird way. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
Pop concerts create an audience for Pops concerts, not an audience for classical symphonic concerts. Sir Mix-a-Lot Read Quote
