Title: Oh, how the Big Boss has fallen...
Product review: Mix-A-Lot, we hardly knew ye. "Return of the Bumpasaurus" has some great sounds, yes, but his style is moving away from the old school sound that made his other albums so much fun. The reason I like Mix above all other rappers, that being his sense of humor, refusal to take himself too seriously, and great voice -- with one or two exceptions it's all gone here. He lets his little friends have too much time in front of the mike; in fact, despite the "Sir Mix-A-Lot" name on the front, we don't hear as much of him as we deserve. His hangers on have no talent, and his back beats are starting to take that washed-out quasi-gangsta sound. Do yourself a favor -- get the "Jump on It" single and listen to "Mack Daddy" again.
