Flashback to this interview from 2014 where Sir Mix-a-Lot gave us the scoop on one of the most iconic rap singles of all time. Don't get it twisted though, as the Grammy award winner has a die-hard fan base that's supported him from day one. He also owns his own publishing, so whether or not you see him on your TV screens every day, he's getting paid handsomely for his contributions to the rap game.
The Hip-Hop staple "Baby Got Back" was inspired by his then girlfriend who was built beautiful and curvy, unlike the image of "beautiful" women portrayed in women's magazines and commercials at the time. Together they decided to make a song dedicated to thicker girls who didn't fit the norm, and the classic track was born.
Listen to Sir Mix-a-Lot break it down above.
