So, despite Mixs comeback, maybe he just got lost in the noise. So why didnt we hear about Sir Mix-A-Lot then What were we doing, if not square dancing and swassing Considering that the top mainstream albums in 1988 were from Madonna, George Michael, Guns N Roses and Michael Jackson, clearly there was a lot going on. The pressing house sent out too many copies, and Ray, Locke and Rodriguez had to pay for the overage.Ī lot of success, actually the record sold over a million copies and went platinum. So, he founded his own record label in 1985, called Nastymix Records along with Edwin Locke and DJ Nasty Nes Rodriguez, Sir Mix-A-Lot made a four track EP that almost bankrupted the small label. Lets dig a little deeper (we totally did not mean that in a dirty way) into the life and art of Sir Mix-A-Lot, and see what we can learn. He bought fancy cars (more on that in a minute), and hung out with a lot of different non-average groupies.
Eighty dollar slippers to wash my car It attracts more freaks than a beach lifeguard Ah, imitate me and youll bring about pain Better wear dark shades when you look at my chain Swass, point, no introduction I come complete with freak instructions I work for myself dont have no boss Boy you gotta have brains if you wanna be swass And Im swass.
