 |
Sir Mix-a-Lot, born Anthony Ray in Seattle, is a rapper, producer, and songwriter who rose to fame with his 1992 Grammy-winning hit “Baby Got Back.” Known for bold, humorous lyrics, he shaped hip-hop culture, blending wit with social commentary. His influence endures through timeless tracks and innovative production, cementing his legacy as a pioneer in the genre, with a career spanning decades and multiple albums.
If you ask me whether I picked Sir Mix A Lot to feature (given a plethora of other famous people born on this day), and ask it is so I can feature this video below, I will tell you I have no comment.).
Enjoy your Sunday!
