Although a majority of the questions asked during Sir Mix-A-Lot's Reddit AMA yesterday (Sept. 20) were booty-related, the rapper also fielded a few on other topics.
In matters relating to the gluteus maximus, the "Baby Got Back" rapper shared some interesting answers with fans. Here's the breakdown:
Favorite booty-related song: "Back That Ass Up" by Juvenile.
Best butt: Buffie the Body
On fake butts: "If you pay for it, you own it. That's the way I see it. Isn't that what girls say about wigs? If you pay for it, you own it. I never touched one, I want to grab one, see what it feels like."
How to combat a flat rump: "heavy. weight. squats."
On fighting one horse-sized butt or 100 duck-sized butts: "I'd probably take the one big one. Yeah. The other ones could attack from too many angles."
Mix also went on the say that he loved Nicki Minaj's song (not just the video) "Anaconda," which samples his hit tune. "I think it's cool, she took part of the song, she made a Nicki Minaj song," he said "I love the track, I have fun listening to the track, it's crazy as hell."
The rapper also had plenty to say about music. He noted that The Presidents of the United States of America and Macklemore are two acts that he loves from his native Seattle and that if he could collaborate with any three living artists he would take Madonna, Gary Numan and Korn. The rapper also revealed that Ice Cube was his favorite member of N.W.A and "Cold Sweat" by James Brown is his favorite tune.
Most surprisingly, the butt enthusiast revealed that he wasn't too confident that "Baby Got Back" was going to be a hit. "As a matter of fact - when I did 'Baby Got Back' - initially it was a slow song like 'Posse on Broadway,' which was my hit prior to 'Baby Got Back,' " he said. "And then I decided to make a fast version, it was the second to the last song, and I didn't like it, I thought it was going to piss everybody off. And Rick Rubin said he loved it...and to show you how much I didn't think it was going to hit, I selected a song called 'One Time's Got No Case' and we shot a video for it, all this stuff, I thought that was going to be the hit, and it just flopped. So I shut my mouth, let the pros do what they do, and Rick was right!"
