How Sir Mix-a-Lot Created The Ultimate Big Booty Anthem That Made More Than 100 Million Dollars! - Video

Little did Anthony Ray know, better known by his stage name Sir Mix-a-Lot, that his song about his love for bodacious backsides would not only become a double platinum hit but, change his life forever. The Auburn, Washington born rapper, songwriter, and record producer grew up in Seattle's Central District. Life in the city during the ‘70s wasn’t easy. Wide spread unemployment and a tanking economy led to sky high food prices and rising rates of people deciding to take their own lives. The streets, owned by gangs and pimps, could have had an unfortunate influence young Sir Mix-a-Lot but, his mother made sure that wasn’t going to happen on her watch. As a child he was a fan of Prince, Michael Jackson and, his personal favourite, James Brown but listened to a wide variety of musical genres, including rock and heavy metal. He also began to develop a love of the growing new genre of hip hop.
