The CD, which features the club song "Jump on it", was released two years after my favorite Mix-a-lot Cd, "Chief Boot Knocka". Although it does not one-up Chief, it does manage to get your head bouncing. In songs such as "Da Bomb" and "Mob Style" Mix lets loose with a barage of sounds. He lets his lyrical flow rock you with songs like "Aintsta" and "Aunt Thomasina". The pure party song "Jump on it" is a nice addition and will definately get all the freaks in the room up on dance floor.

This is a great CD and would be a nice addition to any music collection. It is not Sir Mix-a-lot's best, but is still a great rap CD nonetheless.


Mix-a-lot at his best   January 29, 1999

This hard hitting album found its way to the top of my personal charts. He raps about things we can all relate to. He is one of the last story telling old school style rappers. If you like old school you will love this album.


Very disappointing for Sir Mix-A-Lot   February 2, 2001

This album wouldn't be too bad if it were from some unknown rap act who never cut another album, but what is really disappointing is that this piece of mediocrity came from Sir Mix-A-Lot, who is one of my favorite rappers. There are a few OK, danceable songs, like "Sag" and "Bark Like You Want It," but even they fall far short of the standard Mix set on his previous two albums. There are a bunch of annoying, unfunny skits in between the songs, which I didn't even find amusing on the first listen. The sound isn't nearly as good as on "Mack Daddy" or "Chief Boot Knocka" (my favorite Mix album). On the song "Return of the Bumpasaurus" Mix-A-Lot actually hints that he changed his style consciously because he's falling from popularity. However, the new style of the beats and music he raps to. . .isn't Mix's style at all! He pirates what sounds like P-Funk style, but horribly. If I wanted P-Funk, I'd buy a P-Funk album, but I bought a Mix album because I wanted his style of rapping and music. The music doesn't sound too bad if you aren't already a fan of Mix-A-Lot or P-Funk, but I'm a fan of both and know that this album is inferior to either. If Mix-A-Lot puts out another album, I hope he goes back to the style which works for him, rather than selling out and changing his style and trying to be someone else.

I could go on forever complaining about how much Mix has fallen off his previous albums, but instead let me recommend: buy "Mack Daddy" and "Chief Boot Knocka," and stay away from "Bumpasaurus" unless you just have a really morbid sort of curiosity.
