Seattle hip-hop pioneer Sir Mix-A-Lot secured his place in music history with the 1992 booty-worshipping novelty smash “Baby Got Back.”
• After graduating high school in the early ’80s, Sir Mix-A-Lot began DJing at local parties and became a mainstay at the Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club.
• In 1983, he joined forces with fellow rapper Nasty Nes and local businessman Ed Locke to launch the label NastyMix.
• Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1988 debut album, Swass, yielded the minor hit “Posse on Broadway” and went platinum in 1990.
• In 1991, Sir Mix-A-Lot signed to Rick Rubin’s Def American Recordings. The following year, he dropped “Baby Got Back,” off his major-label debut album, Mack Daddy. Thanks in part to its bootylicious music video, the single spent five weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance.
• He took a six-year hiatus after 1996's Return of the Bumpasaurus but returned in 2003 with Daddy's Home.
• “Baby Got Back” reentered the cultural discourse in 2014, when Nicki Minaj sampled the song for her single “Anaconda,” which earned a Grammy nomination and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100.
