Sir Mix-A-Lot – Posse On Broadway, Seattle

From 1988 Album: “SWASS”….. Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Myspace: www.myspace.com Get Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Music: www.amazon.com & itunes.apple.com Sir Mix-A-Lot was born Anthony Ray in Seattle on August 12, 1963. An eclectic music fan but a rabid hip-hop devotee, he was already actively rapping in the early ’80s, and co-founded the Nastymix record label in 1983 with his DJ, Nasty Nes, who also hosted Seattle’s first hip-hop radio show. His first single was 1987’s “Posse on Broadway,” which referred to a street in Seattle, not New York; it became a local hit, and paved the way for his first LP, 1988’s Swass, which also featured the popular novelty “Square Dance Rap,” and a Run-DMC-style cover of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man,” with backing by Seattle thrashers Metal Church. The video for “Posse on Broadway” landed some airplay on MTV, and became Sir Mix-A-Lot’s first national chart single in late 1988; that in turn pushed Swass into the Top 20 of the R&B album chart, and by 1989, it had sold over a million copies. Also in 1989, Mix-A-Lot released his follow up album Seminar, which produced three charting singles in “Beepers,” “My Hooptie,” and “I Got Game”; while none were significant crossover hits with pop or R&B audiences, all performed well on the rap singles chart, and helped Seminar become Mix-A-Lot’s second straight platinum album.

    Sass: a 30-second Seattle tourist tips…
    The Sound Transit bus 560 takes you from the airport to Bellevue for just a couple of bucks… about 30 minute ride.

    Also, the Jimi Hendrix grave is in Renton, about halfway between Sea Tac Airport and Bellevue. Bruce Lee's is in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle.

    Bellevue is across the lake from Seattle… just east of Seattle. Like a second largest city to Seattle. Microsoft's HQ is nearby in Redmond.

    Have fun if you go.

    The guy who invented the first Cellular Phone did so because he wanted a Star Trek Communicator. Ron McNair, who died on the Challenger went into space because of Star Trek, specifically because of Nichelle Nichols.

  33. Ron C. says:

    I read somewhere that Broadway causes a lot of traffic problems because it cuts diagonally across the NYC street grid. You can see from the diagrams that it appears that the Broadway RoW is only 3 lanes wide, whereas the 7th Ave. RoW is 4 lanes wide. It appears that having the bow tie configuration caused the 4 lanes on 7th to become 3 lanes on Broadway and the 3 lanes on Broadway to become 4 lanes on 7th (in addition to the directional changes of the bow tie configuration). The plan to close Broadway on those blocks looks like it restores order to the grid and maintains a continuous/consistent 4 lanes on 7th Ave.
