Sounds a lot like in music when dealing with RIAA labels and their business model:
“YES! That was a massive hit! Now do it again!”
…and Sir-Mix-a-Lot has said routinely in interviews the more of the novel element but turned up wasn’t the best idea as a follow up to “Baby Got Back” the legit smash.
Let’s just say his next album’s lead single became a punchline in Aqua Teen Hunger Force as spoken by the Moonenites.
- bitwize 4y agoI first came across Mix-A-Lot by winning a single of his at a school dance before "Baby Got Back" dropped. It was called "One Time's Got No Case" and was about being harassed by the police. Such a talented fellow doesn't deserve to be an effective one-hit wonder. I think PSY suffered from the same problem: the world (outside South Korea) wanted another Gangnam Style.

- 6stringmerc 4y agoThankfully I’ve got great news! He moved into production and I learned he’s pretty close with the two main guys of Presidents of the United States of America (band - “Peaches” - “Lump”) and they make a living that way as studio cats & hired producers. Too much talent for pop stars and touring!
