Aw, yeah! Mix is back with his best release since Seminar.
Return kicks off with Chris Rock complaining about Mix-a-Lot's
"Put 'Em On The Glass" video. ("Whatever happened to 'Hi, how are
you?' No. Put your fucking titties on the glass!") before the
boom goes biddy with "You Can Have Her," a thumping dis to all of
his ex-girlfriends.
The musical parts of the album lie somewhere between Cameo and Dr. Dre. You'll want to dance. It just made me drink two cans of Magnum 16. Yes, that's an endorsement. The only truly weak spot on the album is "Aunt Thomasina," a rant against black women who go Uncle Tom. Maybe I just don't get it (even though I am an octaroon.) There's nothing close to a "Baby Got Back" breakout hit on here, either. Mix is just content with doing what he does best. Next time out, he should hook up with the Super Sonic Soul Pimps. A meeting like that could make Seattle's grunge label a thing of the past.
