This song is about women with big butts, and the men who love them. Mix-a-Lot got the idea when he was watching the Super Bowl on TV. A Budweiser beer commercial came on with models who were way too skinny for his taste. This started a trend of rap "booty" songs. Wreckx-N-Effect had a hit soon after with "Rump Shaker" and rappers have been singing the praises of "the bubble" ever since.
It was the second best-selling song in the US in 1992, behind Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". In 2008, it was ranked number 17 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. The song's music video was briefly banned by MTV.
