This article seems like a duplicate of Sir Mix-A-Lot, with just the a in lowercase.

That title is redirected to this page. Natgoo 16:38, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Hooptie came out before posse on broadway. Check your source, broadway was on swass.

the external link to his official site doesn't work at the moment. (9-mar-06)

[edit] SWASS

Does anyone have anything citable for SWASS meaning "Some wild-ass silly shit"? I've heard Sir Mix say this, but that's not citable; the online references I can find seem to come from sites I would not generally consider reliable sources. - Jmabel | Talk 05:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Where did you hear this? Was this said in a song? I've heard it before but I never knew what it meant. Seems important to document if we can find a reference. I'm willing to do some research if you can give me a hint on where to start. 05:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johaw1 (talk • contribs)
Even if true, I can't really see how it's notable enough to mention in an encyclopedia particle. This isn't a trivia or rumor mill. Xihr (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Birth date

Birth date anonymously changed. Does someone have a citation? - Jmabel | Talk 04:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

And now it's changed again, still no citation. - Jmabel | Talk 00:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Military

This was placed in the article; seems more like talk page stuff to me; also, if it goes back in the article it should use normal internal links to other Wikipedia articles:

Side Notes
Sir Mix-a-Lot was often heard on the American Forces Network(AFN). It is not clear whether he served or not, although one of his songs "My Hooptie" refers to "brothers in Goretex" and "little club called the N-C-O" which is also known as the NCO club. Need a citation for Sir Mix-a-Lot's military service to be included, if he served.

"Need a citation... if he served" means this is not ready for the article itself. I'd be surprised if he served; if he did so, it would have been very young, because he was around the Seattle scene circa 1982, when he would only have been around 20 years old. And, without citation "often heard" on a particular radio network doesn't really mean much. (I would imagine that as a rapper whose stuff is pretty clean, AFN would like him; bet they didn't play "One-Time's Got No Case", though.

As for "brothers in Goretex", hey, he's from Seattle. Goretex (and flannel) come with the territory. - Jmabel | Talk 00:37, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Recently"

"Recently Sir Mix-A-Lot played a minor role": "Recently" isn't much use in an encyclopedia (this is not a magazine). Can anyone put a date on this? - Jmabel | Talk 20:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mix-A-Lot and Kid Sensation = 2 different rappers.

In the opening sentence of this Wiki, it states that Mix-A-Lot called himself "Kid Sensation" on some tracks. Kid Sensation was a member of the Posse. http://www.myspace.com/xolamusic

In the opening of "Posse on Broadway" Mix-A-Lot raps: "Me and Kid Sensation..." obviously speaking of his band-mate. And later in the song refers to him again... "My homeboy Kid Sensation is the teenage lady killer"

You are correct, and whoever wrote that was grossly misinformed. We need to work together to find good sources for this article, there really aren't any right now which I find surprising. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 18:22, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
