Chief Boot Knocka (1994)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Sir Mix-A-Lot; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Chief Boot Knocka has irrepressible, high-speed raps from the multiplatinum-selling Seattle mack Sir Mix-A-Lot. His rhymes are energetic and obviously written with great care, but rhythmically, there are hardly any surprises. Most songs are lengthy tales of automotive, sexual, and financial conquest, and while it's worth the effort to decipher the lyrics for their wit, the puerile and sexist topics of songs like ''Let It Beaounce'' and ''Put 'Em on Da Glass'' are a turnoff.
