After his 1987 debut, SWASS, a sparse, witty affair, built a reputation with both critics and discerning hip-hop fans, Sir Mix-a-Lot went supernova on his third effort, MACK DADDY. "Baby Got Back," with its valley girl intro, bass-heavy beat, and earnest ode to women who "pack much back," exploded to become one of the biggest hits of 1992. While the novelty hit certainly gave him a national name, it also pegged him as a lightweight, one-note MC in the Hammer vein. In actuality, the Seattle-area rapper was a far tougher nut to crack, a social poet with a Chuck D. or KRS-One outlook, as well as a playful exhibitionist in the 2 Live Crew manner, backed by a Dre-style P-Funk beat--and MACK DADDY is a far more diverse album than his hit would imply. Opening track "One Time's Got No Case" examines police corruption with force and language to rival N.W.A. or Cypress Hill, while "Mack Daddy" brings the funky swagger with Kool G. Rap bravado.
