"Swass is everywhere. We cruise to "Posse on Broadway", we drop mad lyrics like "Swass" and nobody busts crazier rhymes than "Buttermilk Biscuits"! It's absolutely the most Swass-dope every put on vinyl - if your record collection doesn't have this you'd better re-think your collection criteria, baby."

OLD SCHOOL AT ITS BEST

"This album is what rap SHOULD be all about. It's fun and bass heavy and just enjoyable to listen to. Sometimes yes, it does get a little cheesy, but that is a big part of the charm to this album. Think of the b@lls it takes to open up your debut CD with a song called "Buttermilk Biscuits" where you rap with an effect on your voice that makes you sound like a chipmunk. I give mix-a-lot a lot of credit for that and for always keeping a sense of humor in rap music which is definately lacking today. This album also used very inventive beats. The music for the song "swass" is very simple but also very unique and sounds very different than your average rap song of that time. It also inspired whoever it is to rip off the chorus line "don't you wish your boyfriend was swass like me?" just change the word "swass" to "hot" and you have yourself a hit. Anyway, bottom line is I think this is a timeless album that is very fun to listen to."
