Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Seattle Rap, May 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Sir-Mix-a-lot is a Seattle rapper best known for the song "Baby Got Back." And yes, this track is included (in two versions) on this collection. But, he has other songs that made a contribution to rap music in the days of "yo! mtv raps," and I am glad to say that they are here as well.
"Posse On Broadway" and "Beepers" are the standout tracks here, but this is a nice collection to be checked out by any fan of rap music.

4.0 out of 5 stars rap was fun! a mix alot., January 2, 2012
By 
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Sir Mix-A-Lot (Audio CD)
Back in the day, rap was fun and just part of the many types of popular music out there, instead of todays cookie cutter top forty which is so bad that dung would sound better, Sir was part of that multifun scene, his rap was about having fun and other things but never a vile tirade for gangs or the slime that overtook rap music. (gang rap crap_ I try to convice young people that rap was about more than evil raping violence , try this type of fun rap, nope, they insult it as gay, yes there's alot of hate of gays in todays rap scene, , but as you can see there's hardly a review of this artist on here. I can stand this funky type of rap because they were more in line with that varied music scene of twenty years ago. Instead today we get very limited types of sampling , sir didn't believe in that, he had multi types of instruments in here and he was fun. I can put this on and get a funky groove going. I love funk , and this guy did too.
