The first major MC to come out of the Pacific Northwest (straight outta Tacoma, Washington, to be precise), Sir Mix-a-Lot appeared on the national scene with 1987's SWASS, boasting his own language and a spare, spacey sound, one which owed a heavy debt to the electro-beat-box style of Afrika Bambaataa, but hinted at the P-Funk leanings of later West Coast rap. "Posse on Broadway" (that's Seattle's Broadway, not New York's) lays out Mix-a-Lot's style, as he poetically unfolds a narrative in his gruff, inimitable voice. He ably channels Run-D.M.C., pairing with fellow locals Metal Church on his re-imagination of "Iron Man." While he hints at the novelty that invaded his later work on sped-up opening track "Buttermilk Biscuits," most of the record is a darker affair, a reminder that, at heart, Sir Mix-a-Lot was a serious, innovative (if often goofy) rapper.

5 stars The best of sir-mix-a-lot
This is a great CD. There is no beating rippin and square dance rap. True old school.

4 stars This is true old school
This cd is a 80's classic. "My possie's on broadway" really thumped your speakers. "Buttermilk Biscuits" and "Brimalo" are some funny tracks. As a 8 year old this was my favorite record. At 26 I plan to upgrade to cd.

5 stars SEATTLE STYLE

5 stars What Happened???
This album takes me back to Junior High. It was great to see someone on the West Coast (Seattle) representing Hip Hop without being a gangster about it. At that time, the biggest West Coast Hip Hop artists were NWA, Ice-T, Compton's Most Wanted, etc... there was a "Gangsta Revolution" going on. Sir Mix-A-Lot was a breath of fresh air without being a wimp about it. Then... Baby Got Back comepletely tarnished his name as a Hip Hop artists and established him as a commercial success.

5 stars Best all time cd ever...:)
I haven't had this cd in years. I heard Broadway the other day and rembered how I loved to sing and dance to this cd. This is one of my all time favorite cd's. I am a mother of two now and have changed greatly, but when it comes to Sir Mix-a-lot, my love for this band will never change. They were and always will be the best in my mind...:)
