This album is an amazing accomplishment for Sir Mix-a-lot. It offers some really great beats and as always Mix's raps are at the top of their game.

The CD, which features the club song "Jump on it", was released two years after my favorite Mix-a-lot Cd, "Chief Boot Knocka". Although it does not one-up Chief, it does manage to get your head bouncing. In songs such as "Da Bomb" and "Mob Style" Mix lets loose with a barage of sounds. He lets his lyrical flow rock you with songs like "Aintsta" and "Aunt Thomasina". The pure party song "Jump on it" is a nice addition and will definately get all the freaks in the room up on dance floor.

This is a great CD and would be a nice addition to any music collection. It is not Sir Mix-a-lot's best, but is still a great rap CD nonetheless.

I have to say that this is my favorite Sir Mix-a-lot album and one of my favorite cd's when I'm bumping (bass that is). Some of these songs are the best that I have heard for bumping. The bass is the right bass for pounding your subs. I love this cd. I think his rapping on this album is really good. Mix-a-lot has skills. Just listen to buckin my horse if you don't know what I mean. Anyways, it is a great cd for bass or just to listen to. A must buy.

Bumpasaurus is the Mix's best album yet. I thought that he would never top 1994's Chief Boot Knocka, but he has done it. Music by Quaze ("pure funk...not modified for hip hop use"), Funk Daddy, and Mike Kumangai add to Mix's already diverse skills as a rap artist. Still, Mix does not sell out, as so many rappers do. He stays true to his roots, discussing sellouts in the business in "Aunt Thomasina" and its intro, "Denial". The track "Lead Yo Horse" and its introduction reveal, I believe, a rift with Kid Sensation, a character formerly often featured in Mixalot songs. If you want to hear Mixalot at his best, or gain more of a perspective on his other work, this album is a must.

This album wouldn't be too bad if it were from some unknown rap act who never cut another album, but what is really disappointing is that this piece of mediocrity came from Sir Mix-A-Lot, who is one of my favorite rappers. There are a few OK, danceable songs, like "Sag" and "Bark Like You Want It," but even they fall far short of the standard Mix set on his previous two albums. There are a bunch of annoying, unfunny skits in between the songs, which I didn't even find amusing on the first listen. The sound isn't nearly as good as on "Mack Daddy" or "Chief Boot Knocka" (my favorite Mix album). On the song "Return of the Bumpasaurus" Mix-A-Lot actually hints that he changed his style consciously because he's falling from popularity. However, the new style of the beats and music he raps to. . .isn't Mix's style at all! He pirates what sounds like P-Funk style, but horribly. If I wanted P-Funk, I'd buy a P-Funk album, but I bought a Mix album because I wanted his style of rapping and music. The music doesn't sound too bad if you aren't already a fan of Mix-A-Lot or P-Funk, but I'm a fan of both and know that this album is inferior to either. If Mix-A-Lot puts out another album, I hope he goes back to the style which works for him, rather than selling out and changing his style and trying to be someone else.

I could go on forever complaining about how much Mix has fallen off his previous albums, but instead let me recommend: buy "Mack Daddy" and "Chief Boot Knocka," and stay away from "Bumpasaurus" unless you just have a really morbid sort of curiosity.

This hard hitting album found its way to the top of my personal charts. He raps about things we can all relate to. He is one of the last story telling old school style rappers. If you like old school you will love this album.
