The track, which earned him a Grammy Award, has continued to be a success, with VH1's '100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop' including it in 2008. As trends in gangsta rap and other shifts of hip-hop culture took place, Mix-A-Lot kept on releasing tracks to a cult fanbase before going more into production and studio work. Other notable fan favorites include "Posse on Broadway" (rapping about a street in Seattle, discussing local landmarks, with success that proved his first hit with some MTV airplay), "Testerossa" (a comparison of his lyrical power to the cars' horsepower), and "Swap meet Louie" (a comical look at counterfeit goods such as Louis Vuitton items being sold at swap meets and night markets). His infamous food-based parody tune "Buttermilk Biscuits" (also known as "Buttermilk Biscuits (Keep on Square Dancin')") was performed by kids on the new 'Mickey Mouse Club' program and earned comparisons to "Weird Al" Yankovic.
Mix-A-lot created his own label and worked his songs from the ground up. He never achieved the same popularity as his heyday again, but his songs remain fun and bring his fans back to the late 80s and early 90s with beat-boxing and old-school scratching. See: http://sirmixalot.com/
Ride
Sir Mix-A-Lot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it go when you shake that coco
"I Got Game", so whatcha know
Get it up, then I hit her with the Rambo
Oo-chie, coo-chie
Still lookin' for the supa booty
Rump, chaser, rump snatcha
Huh, get 'em on camera
'Cause I'm ridin them skirts and I talk real cocky
Ol' mackin-ass Mix is back
I'm slangin' that game on 28 tracks
Yep yep, pack 'em in a Benz
Take 'em to my house, straight let 'em all in
Call Mix-a-Lot a slut?
I might get banned, but I still like butts!
Mm! lay 'em on the table
Dr Richard's willin and able
Not sexist, just sexy
Do I like sistas? Well, let's see
She's thick, walkin' with a switch
Carryin' a beeper, ya betta' not call her no bitch
When it comes to a snack-pack I can't lie
I want to ride!
Can I ride?
I want to ride!
I want to ride!
Shake 'em up like you're playin' them craps
Two snake eyes puttin' fellas on tap
What I'm sayin' ain't popular nowadays
But it ain't good without the mayonnaise
I, can-not dance
But I'm good when ya hit that stance
Wham, bam, met a girl named Pam
I poke and thank you ma'am
Ain't no, drag in my bag
Gotta do me 'cause I don't play tag
Six-double-o hoop, costs loot
Hit the gas she'll scoot
When ya dance, I'm on ya
When ya walk, I'm on ya
When ya moan, I'm on ya
I'm that +Nasty Dog+ and I tried to warn ya
To the 'tel, to the 'tel we go
Don't need a bed 'cause I'm good on the floor
When a chocolate masterpiece walks by,
I want to ride!
Can I ride, baby?
I want to ride!
Ride!
I'm like Tyrannosaurus Rex
I sense movement then I gotta wreck shop
I'm on top but down to flip-flop (Don't stop)
So, I, won't stop
Love to see that thang go pop
Don't be, phony, baby show me
I can ride yo pony
Saddle up n' go, you can show Bo
He don't know
You, can, put it on a man
Make me yo number one fan
Some brothers want to claim they're down
Puttin' on fronts like clowns
But I'm packin' this 9 in my glove
Givin' nothin' but the females love, yeah!
Ain't no sissy in me
4-4 mags ain't never been friendly
But I like the girls
"Cake Boys" get scared in the kitty-cat world
But I'm not the one to come cake
Baby this game is straight
Fellas in the house, you can't deny!
All y'all wants to ride!
I want to ride!
I want to ride!
I want to ride!
The song "Ride" by Sir Mix-A-Lot is a prime example of his trademark style of bumping hip-hop beats and sexually charged lyrics. Mix-A-Lot's flow in this song is easy to follow, and his lyrics revolve around his desire to get with curvaceous women. In the first verse, the rapper is boasting about his game and his ability to pick up women, and he even throws in a reference to the movie character, Rambo. He goes on to describe his love for the "supa booty" and how he wants to capture it on camera. The chorus features Mix-A-Lot asking for permission to ride, meaning that he wants to engage in sexual intercourse. In the second verse, he continues to talk about his sexual prowess and how he can satisfy a woman, even if he can't dance. He also warns other men not to try and claim that they are more down than he is, as he is packing a gun in his glove box.
Throughout the song, Mix-A-Lot unabashedly celebrates his love of women's curves and his desire to engage in sexual activity with them. He doesn't shy away from using crass language or metaphors, but his confident delivery and inventive wordplay make the song a classic of '90s hip-hop. Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat celebration of sexuality and Mix-A-Lot's unique style.
