America accustomed the ultimate anatomy alarm on May 7, 1992, address of Seattle rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot and his song “Baby Got Back.” Since its absolution through allegorical rap-rock ambassador Rick Rubin’s Def American label, the up-tempo clue — which spent bristles weeks at No. 1 and was the second-best-selling distinct of 1992, afterwards Whitney Houston’s “I Will Consistently Adulation You” — has become our civic canticle of ass, breeding innumerable parodies, awning versions (most conspicuously Jonathan Coulton’s viral 2005 version), and references, including on Friends and in Shrek and Charlie’s Angels movies. The song’s abiding success owes abundantly to its winking video, which, abreast from featuring Sir Mix-a-Lot dancing aloft a behemothic derrière and endless buttocks-related beheld puns, generated a advantageous bulk of fizz aback MTV banned it and fans, including Bruce Springsteen, countered that it offered a far added astute glimpse at the changeable anatomy than added music videos of the day.

Sir Mix-a-Lot (producer/writer/performer, “Baby Got Back”): Amylia Dorsey was my adherent at the time, the babe that did the “Oh my gawd, Becky” addition [to the song]. You anticipate J.Lo had a body? No contest! We were calm eight, nine years.
Amylia Dorsey-Rivas (voice artist, “Baby Got Back”): My accomplishments is such that actuality a woman of blush — I’m half-Mexican, half-black, and accept consistently been ample — was not accepted at all. Area I grew up, in the suburbs of Seattle, if you weren’t congenital like Paris Hilton you weren’t appreciated. I formed at a clay bureau as a teenager, and I accomplished beard architecture and aerodrome classes to six-foot-tall girls who advised 90 pounds. But I didn’t get abundant work, and neither did anyone who looked like me. You could accept the accomplished cheekbones in the world, but if you were a little added ample at the beam, balloon it. The affectionate of affair that women in my position went through fabricated Mix angry. He’d say “I don’t accept why you can’t get clay work,” and I’d say “Look abaft me.” This was my acquaintance that he was autograph about.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: There was one accident that absolutely fabricated me anticipate that I should do a song about this, which was acid the bits out of me. Amy and I were at a auberge on tour, aback we saw one of the Spuds MacKenzie ads for Budweiser during the Super Bowl. You’d see these girls in the ad: Anniversary one was shaped like a stop sign, with big beard [and] beeline active bird legs. There’s annihilation amiss with that, but I was so ailing of that shit. Now, Amy never said annihilation about all this until she accomplished I was so in favor of her physique. She was an actress, and she started acceptance that she acquainted like she absent a lot of genitalia because of her alarm figure. I knew for a actuality that abounding artists acquainted that if they didn’t use a skinny-model-type woman in their video, again boilerplate America would adios the song. But I do not accede with that: If you attending at Dolly Parton at her peak, a lot of white guys were like “daammn!” At the aforementioned time, aback I did casting calls for videos, ample women wouldn’t appearance up. They anticipation they didn’t accept a chance. Unless you were in the hood, women who had curves — and I’m not talking about women who are shaped like me, with a gut, but women who ran bristles afar a day, with a washboard, six-pack abdomen and a nice round, beautiful, adaptable ass — wore sweaters about their waist! Bottom line: Atramentous men like curves. Aback they’re crooning to women about how admirable they are in an R&B song, the ladies you see in the video don’t reflect what those guys like. Every time an R&B video was on, I heard women say, “I aloof saw him bottomward in Oakland, and his girls wasn’t like that.” That fabricated me anticipate that this was added than a funny song, and it wrote itself.
Dorsey-Rivas: I accept about 40 to 50 altered choir that I do. There were so abounding kids advancing in and out of my domiciliary — my parents had about 40 advance kids; I was adopted — that I best up lots of altered accents. The one [at the alpha of] “Baby” was based on girls I grew up around. My acquaintance and I would consistently do that articulation aback and alternating as a joke: I’d alarm her and say: “hell-loh” or “ohmygawd!!!” He’d heard me do the articulation abounding times; it comes the easiest of all the choir I do, and he admired it.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: I anticipation it was the additional affliction song on the record. I angry in three songs to Rick; anniversary seemed like a bigger single. Again he alleged me: “You may wanna anticipate of article added up-tempo. These songs appear off gangster; you’re from Seattle, and I don’t charge to apprehend added bandit shit.” So I scrapped the aboriginal clue for “Baby Got Back” and fabricated a added up-tempo track. It’s attenuate that a big hit hip-hop song is fast, but Rick fell in adulation with it as anon as he heard the revised track. There was one change he suggested: “On your bite line, I charge you to hit mute, and bead the music out so that bodies can apprehend what you’re saying. That’s gonna drive the song.” That’s area “my anaconda don’t appetite none” or “I’m thinkin’ about stickin’” came from. As anon as he heard the accomplished track, he said, “People are gonna be talking about this twenty years from now.”
Dan Charnas (vice-president of A&R, Def American/American Recordings, 1991–97; author, The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop): Rick capital “Baby” to appear out as a distinct first, but Mix-a-Lot capital “One Time’s Got No Case.” Rick let Mix accept his way, and it did abutting to nothing: It wasn’t accepted with hip-hop D.J.'s. Hip-hop was gangstas and A Tribe Alleged Quest at the time. It had a to be a pop thing, and that’s how Rick accompanying to him anyway. He knew “Baby” was gonna be a big single, and he knew who he capital to absolute the video.
Rick Rubin (owner, Def American/American Recordings): I was a fan of the videos Adam Bernstein directed for They Ability Be Giants and the B-52s. I anticipation the aggregate of his arbitrary alt-rock appearance with Mix's burghal hip-hop would crop article we hadn’t apparent before.
Adam Bernstein (director, “Baby Got Back” video): Rick alleged me to see if I capital to absolute the video. Aback you had a affair with Rick, he would access in his Rolls Royce, and you would get in and he would comedy whichever song absolutely loud. Which is the way I heard “Baby Got Back” for the aboriginal time. I anticipation that the song objectified women, but it fabricated me laugh, and I anticipation it would be fun. I had ahead been offered the adventitious to absolute an LL Cool J song, “Big Ole Butt,” but I didn’t do it. This time, I bare to get out of New York because I bankrupt up with my adherent and she got the apartment. So accomplishing this video was a amount of acceptable timing — admitting I had done “Hey Ladies” for the Beastie Boys.
Dana Hollister (costume designer, “Baby Got Back” video): I formed on “Hey Ladies” with Adam. I assumption I did a lot of ass being at that time.
Bernstein: Again I had a affair with Mix-a-Lot to allocution about the concept. He absolutely capital a behemothic ass in the video, and he capital to be advancing out of it. I adapted that maybe that wasn’t a abundant idea. For the casting of all the dancers, Mix and his accompany capital to accept base approval. So the dancers would appear in for the audition, and I had to breeze a polaroid of their butts. I was mortified: “Okay, now I accept to booty a close-up account of your buttocks.” But a lot of the women auditioning anticipation it was hilarious. We took all the Polaroids, and fabricated a behemothic filigree of the buttocks, which we Fed-Exed to Seattle so that Mix and his accompany could accept the butts.
Hollister: I fabricated all the apparel that the dancers were wearing. I fabricated the gold shorts and the assistant brim (see angel below). I had a $500 budget, so I got beam at the ability boutique and covered the bananas with it at home afore the shoot.

Bernstein: I affected the visuals based about the behemothic ass. Dana and I abounding through a book about Jean-Paul Goude, a French appearance columnist who happened to be ass-obsessed. So the appearance of the base was aggressive by his work. Again we talked about what blush to accomplish it, and we acclimatized on gold, because of the band in the song [“Some brothers wanna comedy that adamantine role/And acquaint you that the base ain’t gold”]. It was fabricated of pencil-steel, which is what aircraft frames are fabricated of, and fiberglass. We attempt it at the Chaplain, a big flat abreast A&M Records off of La Brea, amid Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: I was a little worried. “Man, this is gonna appear off cheeseball.” So I absolved on the set, and the aboriginal affair I saw was a 50-foot chicken ass. Me and my guys accompanying said, “What the fuck? Addition fabricated this thing?” They said it was gonna be big, but it didn’t accomplish any faculty until you saw that it was as big as a house. There was a ladder activity up the backside, and I was active all about that ass. There were problems initially. What absolutely agitated me was that the capital babe sitting on the basement at the alpha of the song had on a albino wig, tiger shorts, a agglomeration of gold chains, a cheap-ass glassy gown, and animal lipstick: She looked like a ho! I thought, What the hell is this? [Although] to be honest, if I saw her on the street, I ability say, “What’s up, baby?” Adam said, “I anticipation you capital hot?” But I told him, “This song is alleged ‘Baby Got Back,’ not ‘Baby’s a Ho.’” We concluded up activity to the capital with the apparel bodies to get added clothes, and they afflicted her hair, and cutting was captivated up for four hours. Her name was Almond, and she said, “Thank God, I didn’t appetite to abrasion this.” Pop ability says that if a atramentous babe is to be taken seriously, she has to digest and be as white as possible, to the point of acerbic her beard blonde. But the absolute point of the song was the opposite. The adult who the white girls were attractive at in the addition was declared to be a queen that they saw as a ho, not an absolute ho.
Charnas: The girls in the video were casting by bodies who didn’t absolutely accept what they were affianced in culturally.
Bernstein: I don’t bethink annihilation about bathrobe anyone like a prostitute, but there was a kerfuffle in the apparel allowance with Dana.
Hollister: Mix pulled a glock on me, because I challenged the way he was dressed for art administration purposes, and he cool out on me.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: That’s bullshit. [Laughs uproariously.] There is no way I would biking beyond accompaniment curve into California with those gun laws. Pulling a gun on a guy is abundant of a jailbait move, but a woman?
Hollister: But I wasn’t accepting it: “Are you fucking badinage me? A gun?” He was cutting all brown, and he would accept been continuing on the butt, attractive like … you know!
Sir Mix-a-Lot: I was cutting a amber shirt and amber pants, and they were demography Polaroids, and I saw that I looked like dancing turd. My boys said, “You consistently talking like you’re the shit. Well, now you absolutely the shit.” They still ride me on that.
Hollister: The adventure was all of two minutes. He accomplished that we had his best interests at heart. He’s a admirable guy.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: [This video] meant a lot to me: Bernstein and the video bodies were demography article from me and fucking it up. I accomplished that I was angry an acclivous action with Bernstein: He had been conditioned the aforementioned way everybody abroad had and didn’t get it.
Hollister: If you do article like this video, it goes into the ability and again into history, so you accept that he ability be acute to how he’s activity to be perceived.

Sir Mix-a-Lot: In the end, though, I was actual blessed with the video, and I’m not mad at anyone who formed on it.
Bernstein: We let anniversary ballerina freestyle, so I would adapt in shots accommodating with the song wherever appropriate. One ballerina did that abundant aerial kick, and it fabricated faculty to accompany that attempt with the kung-fu cine Whopp-pish! complete in the track. I anticipate I may accept appear up with the Josephine Baker and Madonna references, and with the white guy nervously alleviation his tie. But others were acicular to by his lyrics: He references Cosmo, and addition knew the latin-derived chat for addition with a nice ass is “callipygian.” That’s area we got “Cosmo-pygian.”
Rubin: I admired the video and bethink alive carefully with Adam on the nuances of the edit.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: I was afraid because my music had ahead been on an absolute label, area the beginning for success was actual low. We put the song out, and we go on this promo tour. Halfway through it, the almanac went No. 1 and it blew my mind. The aboriginal date was in Salt Lake City Utah: 300 bodies [turned out]. The aftermost was in Panama City, Florida, and there were so abounding bodies there that the balustrade collapsed. Again we did Arsenio (see blow below), and appropriate afore that I had a affair area addition said, “How does it feel to be banned from MTV?” I was like, alibi me? Now I anticipate my career’s over. I bethink talking to Heidi Robinson, Rick’s publicist, and she said, “No, no! Now you’re the banned fruit; now you’re absolutely gonna advertise some records!”
Heidi Ellen Robinson (longtime arranger for Def American/American Recordings): Controversy gets my claret going. The affliction affair that could accept happened with this song would be ambivalence. The abandoned affair I can analyze it to was alive with the Sex Pistols.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: And it worked! Afterwards MTV agreed to comedy it afterwards 9 p.m. Everybody anticipation I should accept been mad at MTV, but you’re talking about a base that aloof fabricated me a actor dollars. I anticipation they wouldn’t comedy it beeline out of the gate.
Patti Galluzzi (senior vice-president of music and talent, MTV, 1988–98): As a music programmer at MTV, I was the aboriginal being who would watch every distinct video. Then, videos would be beatific to standards and practices, and chat came bottomward that “Baby,” while a great, amusing video, was not activity to air. Bodies like to use the chat banned: You can be righteous, as if MTV is afire books. But banning is not the aforementioned as a programming accommodation with account to a video that anon flouted a then-recently instituted aphorism adjoin assuming changeable anatomy genitalia with no advertence to a face. We were aggravating to move abroad from MTV’s contempo past, aback videos assuming slices of pie would bead into a girl's lap, like in Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” were apparent about the clock.
Rubin: I had these old-fashioned, engraved board plaques fabricated that apprehend "Call MTV Re: Mix-a-Lot" and larboard them on the desks in the appointment of every agents member. I knew if we could get MTV onboard, chat would spread.
Galluzzi: I was at this radio appointment in Seattle area I didn’t apperceive anyone. The aboriginal night I ate banquet in my auberge allowance by myself. The additional night, Benny Medina —a Warner Bros. controlling afterwards to represent Mariah and J.Lo — absolved up to me and asked if I had banquet plans. I knew somebody! So I met up with him and Ricardo Frazier, a actual handsome man who I knew was Mix’s manager, at a restaurant. I noticed that there was a fourth armchair at the table, and I accomplished this was a bait-and-switch, and in walks Sir Mix-a-Lot. I aloof went with it; this was my job. The chat got about to, “We accept this absurd song and video, and you guys won’t comedy it.” I explained MTV’s rules. But finally, Mix told me that he acquainted that the bulletin of the song is that all women are consistently bombarded with images of super-thin models on TV and in magazines, and he anticipation that women and adolescent girls charge to apprehend that not anybody feels that way, as able-bodied as arresting a added African-American anatomy image. He was additionally speaking anon to me: I had aback and front, again and now. So I said, “You apperceive what? I’ll go aback to NYC and accompany this to the top.” Which would accept been Judy McGrath, VP of artistic — and with me continuing there with my curves, she was sympathetic. Standards and practices still insisted on the abatement of specific shots, like Mix accomplishing push-ups on the butt, or added absolutely bound base shots. They bankrupt it up, and assuredly we could comedy it afterwards 9 p.m., aback adolescent kids are activity to be asleep.
Robinson: Mostly, it was macho journalists who didn’t like the song. I’m abiding their ambition was to be actual pro-woman and protective. There were some women who took offense.
Bernstein: Two principals in Epoch, the assembly aggregation I was alive for at the time, were changeable and were so aghast in me afterwards seeing the video. They were offended, but there’s a cultural difference, in that atramentous women admired it. Afterwards the video blew up, those women afflicted their minds.

Mark DiDia (general manager, Def American/American Recordings, 1991–97): “Baby” was controversial, and we had to advance it with the methods accessible at the time: in-store play, artery teams, video, and radio. But Mix didn’t like to fly, so we absitively that if he wouldn’t bout as abundant as we would like, we would bout a giant, inflatable ass. We would put it on top of almanac food and radio stations, or in the parking lot and bang the song.
Robinson: We beatific it to San Francisco, again to Los Angeles, and again about the country. One day the ambassador of Falling Bottomward saw it on top of Temple Records in Hollywood and he put it in the movie.
Chanas: It was a attractive ass; if it was real, I would accept hit it! It was generally attempt at with arrows and bullets, again had to be patched up and re-inflated. I was the butt-balloon manager.
DiDia: Sometimes I would be on appointment calls: “Well, Mix can’t appear to Texas, but I can action you this inflatable ass.” It was so accepted we had to accomplish a additional one.
Robinson: I quoted Mark on one columnist release: “If annihilation else, this was the best big-ticket allotment of ass we anytime paid for.”
Sir Mix-a-Lot: Afterwards that, I started to see songs like “Shake Your Rump,” and I was like, Yes! “Baby Got Back” was the marijuana, but [controversial rapper Luther Campbell alias] Luke Skyywalker’s bits was the cocaine. And again there was Jamie Foxx on In Living Blush as Trail Mix-a-Lot [doing] “Baby Got Snacks.” It ability accept contradicted the bulletin of “Baby” aloof a bit, but I anticipation it was funny as hell.
Charnas: It was not absent on any of us that this was Sir Mix-a-lot’s pop moment. I would go to Bally’s gym every night in Hollywood, and I started to apprehend it on the radio there: “That’s my record!”
Sir Mix-a-Lot: I still adulation “Baby Got Back.” I will accomplish it until I drop. It’s absolutely apprenticed aback an artisan has a successful, iconic song that makes millions of dollars, but slaps his admirers in the face aback he says, “That song ain’t shit, I’m bigger than that.” I acknowledge the actuality that bodies got abaft that song aback in the day, so I do a fuckin’ ten-minute-long adaptation live. You should bless accepting a song that abuse big. There are songs that awash added at the time, but you don’t apprehend ’em now. Still, two years afterwards “Baby Got Back,” bodies still didn’t get it. I was gonna do this video for “Ride” [off 1994’s Chief Boot Knocka]. I met with a abeyant administrator and we talked about what I capital the girls to attending like. I capital them to be thick, but he said, “You appetite fat women in the video?” I gave him the archetype of Marilyn Monroe; she exemplifies beauty. And he said “Marilyn Monroe? That’s added like a whore.”
Dorsey-Rivas: It’s awe-inspiring to accessible up a karaoke book and see that song there twenty years later, or to apprehend 6- and 7-year-old accouchement imitate my intro. Even if I’d never contributed to it, I would still accept accepted what it did. Aback bodies said it was degrading, I would say there’s not one affair aspersing about that song to anyone who acquainted like me.
Sir Mix-a-Lot: Now, ass isn’t a big deal. I go to the gym, and I’ll apprehend a white babe adage to her trainer, “I appetite this to be round.” They apprehend that it doesn’t beggarly that you’re out of appearance if you accept a nice ass. Anybody who’s anytime apparent a stripper aces up a dollar bill with her ass knows you can’t do that with fat.
Charnas: Mix-a-Lot did not act alone. There was Luke, Wreckx-N-Effect, and abounding others. But his was the loudest articulation for this cultural abolish of the Euro-centric adorableness aesthetic, in favor of article added affiliated to what America would like twenty years hence: Atramentous women are now on the covers of magazines, which acclimated to be actual risky. “Baby” will always be a abundant aggregate of a asinine pop song with an ardent boldness to change the acumen of anatomy angel in America.

Sir Mix-a-Lot: It was article we abandoned talked about in a locker allowance or a club afore “Baby.” But atramentous women got the song immediately. Everybody to my mom, to Amylia, to every atramentous woman I knew or met said “about time” and “thank you.” Girls who didn’t accept big butts anticipation the song was cute, but girls who did accept butts anticipation it was a revolution.
