Sir Mix A Lot was great! I was thrilled for the two/maybe three songs I knew that he did and the other acts was pretty good as well! Hi 5 though sucked and nearly put me and our row to sleep. Then 112 could’ve done better, but it is what it is. Kid and play also did an amazing job and I say Kid definitely won the rap battle! Would see a few of them again and or another show with legends like this but with Sir Mix A Lot as the main event/attraction!

Sir Mix-A-Lot Biography
Born Anthony Ray in Seattle on August 12, 1963, Sir Mix-a-lot is the champion of north-west-coast hip hop. Where there was previously no scene, he created it with fun, bass heavy tracks that got your booty shakin'. Indeed, booty shakin was the intention - Mix-a-lot's career track was "Baby Got Back" a groovy cut about thick booty that topped bill board charts and signalled the high point of his career. Notable favorites; "Posse on Broadway" (rapping about a street in Seattle, not NY) - his first hit with some MTV air play. "Testerossa" a comparison of his lyrical power to the cars horsepower & "Swap meet Louie" a comical look at conterfeit goods (Louis Vuitton) being sold at swap meets and night markets. Mix-a-lot created his own label and worked his songs from the ground up. He never acheived the same popularity, but his songs remain fun and bring us back to the late 80s and early 90s with beat-boxing and old-school scratching.
