Return of the Bumpasaurus (1996)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Lead Performance: Sir Mix-A-Lot; Genres: Hip-Hop/Rap, R&B

Seattle's Sir Mix-a-Lot already has the market cornered on goofy, old-school sexual braggadocio. Here he juices those lighthearted raps with an even more retro sound — a luxuriant '70s funkadelia that would do any pimp proud. Unfortunately, too many cuts on Return of the Bumpasaurus reach back only one decade instead of two, settling for tiny perkiness that's more Cameo than George Clinton. C+
