"Posse On Broadway" by Sir Mix-A-Lot

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/posse-on-broadway/1440818261?i=1440818475)

Once again, I missed posting yesterday as it was kind of a crazy day at work for me, so I'm going to make that up early this morning with a song for yesterday. Not sure why, but this song has been playing in my head for a few days now. The song is Posse Is On Broadway by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

This is a song that was hugely popular in the late 1980's when it came out and one that I listened to thousands of times for a couple of different reasons. One reason was simply because I loved the song, the beat to the song and the lyrics were kind of funny. The second reason was because the big "in thing" at the time was putting large sub-woofers in your car or truck and playing loud music with a lot of bass. This song had quite a bit of bass, so it got played for that reason.

[Verse 1]
Me and Kid Sensation at home away from home
In the black Benz limo with the cellular phone
I'm calling up the posse it's time to get rippin'
A freak in each sunroof to keep you suckas trippin'
Everybody's looking if you're jealous turn around
The AMG kit keeps us closer to the ground
We're getting good grip from the 50 series tires
The Alpine's bumping but I need the volume higher
'Cause the 808 kick drum makes the girlies get dumb
We're rolling Rainier and the jealous wanna get some
Every time we do this sucka mc's wanna battle
I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle
Picked up the posse on 23rd and Jackson
Heading for the strip, yes we're looking for some action
The limo's kinda crowded, the whole car was leaning back
Maharaji's watching T.V. with two girlies on his lap
On Martin Luther King the set looks kinda dead
We need a new street so posse move ahead
We all look kinda swass, the crew you can't forget
The Mix-a-lot posse cold ripping up the set

[Chorus]
My posse's on Broadway
My posse's on Broadway
Posse up

The first #rap #GirlGroup vinyl album that I bought in 80s was by #JJFad & this #Supersonic title track made me hit up the record store 🎶🎵 One of the first acts signed to Eazy E's Ruthless Records label.

*The city of Rialto, CA named a street after the hiphop girl group. Parts of Lurelane off Cactus, were named JJ Fad Way.*

@Defiance Thanks for this. I still have a very played battered original UK pressing of this. Played it to death on a crappy cheap 80s Matsui music centre with the plastic needles. Put it this way...I won't be able to sell it on Discogs.

It set the scene and there was a breakout of LL-soundalikes with that stripped Rick Rubin drum machine street sound. Along with Run D.M.C. it was goodbye to the Yes Yes Y'all Chic sampling party raps and hello to the Sound of Black America...and eventually the World.

Game changer
