Swass is everywhere May 14, 1998

Swass is everywhere. We cruise to "Posse on Broadway", we drop mad lyrics like "Swass" and nobody busts crazier rhymes than "Buttermilk Biscuits"! It's absolutely the most Swass-dope every put on vinyl - if your record collection doesn't have this you'd better re-think your collection criteria, baby.
Some of you Rooty-Poots wish that you could, be a Hip-Hop Soldier! December 17, 2006
"Now I'm your big mall dropper, mud duck stuffer. Fila's on the bottom and adidas on the cover." Most everyone who grew up listening to Hip-Hop in the 80's and 90's recognizes those lines right away from the classic "Buttermilk Biscuits" and the legendary SWASS. Sir Mix-a-Lot is best remembered as the "Big Butts Guy", but he made some awesome records before and after Mack Daddy, and SWASS was one of them. The funny thing though is two of the most popular songs were by Kid Sensation, "Square Dance Rap" and of course, "Buttermilk Biscuits". I remember my dad buying this album when I was a kid,
and I loved it ever since. "Posse on Broadway", "SWASS", "Iron Man", and "Hip-Hop Soldier" are my favorites (including the two songs mentioned earlier). This album is mostly about braggin' and humor where Seminar, his next album, was more serious. If you like Mix, then buy this. If not, buy it anyway Rooty-Poot!!
OLD SCHOOL AT ITS BEST January 29, 2007
This album is what rap SHOULD be all about. It's fun and bass heavy and just enjoyable to listen to. Sometimes yes, it does get a little cheesy, but that is a big part of the charm to this album. Think of the b@lls it takes to open up your debut CD with a song called "Buttermilk Biscuits" where you rap with an effect on your voice that makes you sound like a chipmunk. I give mix-a-lot a lot of credit for that and for always keeping a sense of humor in rap music which is definately lacking today. This album also used very inventive beats. The music for the song "swass" is very simple but also very unique and sounds very different than your average rap song of that time. It also inspired whoever it is to rip off the chorus line "don't you wish your boyfriend was swass like me?" just change the word "swass" to "hot" and you have yourself a hit. Anyway, bottom line is I think this is a timeless album that is very fun to listen to.
Don't you wish you was Swass? October 10, 2007
Great stuff. Anyone know if the CD was edited at some point or if Mix decided to scratch over a couple "f words" for some reason?
