Sir Laugh-A-Lot should be this man’s new moniker

He single-handedly started a craze over a woman who was “packing much back.” He liked big butts and he could not lie. The one and only Sir Mix-A-Lot is back with a new album, Daddy’s Home. Although many have chalked the rapper up as a one-hit wonder, he is still out there trying to get his music heard and recognized.

For Daddy’s Home, Sir Mix-A-Lot has ditched his signature bubble-gum rap for something a little bit more melodic. He still raps, but now there are women singing in the background of all of his songs. One almost wants Mix-A-Lot’s lackluster rapping to continue through the chorus to spare your ears from the whining the women are doing during the chorus. On the title track, the girls sing, “My daddy’s home,” to which Mix-A-Lot adds, “And I’m collecting on the rent.” It’s hard to listen to the album as if it isn’t a comedic effort. With song titles like “Big Johnson” and “Till Da Sun Cums Up,” you have to wonder what Mix-A-Lot was thinking.

“Big Johnson” starts off with Mix-A-Lot saying, “You’ve been telling some lies about your penal region,” to which the women sing, “We like a great, big johnson.” He then goes on to discuss the sizes of men’s genitals. If you are looking for quality comedy, “Big Johnson” is the place to find it, though one cannot be sure that it is intentional.

As far as the beats go, the album sounds like something that could be produced on a kiddie-toy keyboard, with its little tings and bumps. The music is unoriginal and has been done countless times before. It’s less than mediocre and it could possibly make you feel less educated for actually sitting down and listening to it. It is produced poorly and entirely over-engineered.

Daddy’s Home is good for a laugh, and that’s about it. If it was Sir Mix-A-Lot’s desire to tickle the listeners funny bone, he did a great job. If he was trying to create a work of art, which most musicians try to do, he failed miserably. So if you are ever feeling down and you need to laugh, listen to Daddy’s Home. You’ll get a kick out of it.
