In this unreleased full VladTV conversation, Sir Mix-a-Lot opens up about the making and legacy of “Baby Got Back,” from its Super Bowl-era inspiration to the Rick Rubin feedback that helped turn it into a culture-shifting hit. The Seattle rap pioneer breaks down his Kraftwerk-influenced production, DJ Punish’s scratches, the controversial video shoot in Los Angeles, and why the song became both celebrated and criticized. He also reacts to Nicki Minaj sampling the classic for “Anaconda,” praising her studio work ethic and explaining how Universal Music connected them. Mix discusses owning publishing, long-term royalties, major sync placements in films and ads, and business lessons from working with Rubin. The interview also covers early hits like “Posse on Broadway,” “My Hooptie,” and “Beepers,” plus the impact of Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha,” body image trends, and hip-hop’s changing standards of beauty.
