This is one of the funniest rap songs of all time! Sir-Mix-A-Lot does not get the credit that he deserves from the mainstream. This is an absolute classic!
@Max William Lauf You're right. He is Seattle's favorite citizen. I have been a fan of his since 1988. My favorite song was Beepers. However, most people only know him for his hit song " Baby Got Back".
Man this brings back so many memories as a teenager. I don't know how many people are like me. I think the early 90's was the best time for rap and R&B
Way too many classics out there as far as artist that are just sitting chill they could pull away the new ones! Back in the day when you actually had to work for money lol.
This shit rocks and even though pagers are nonexistent " Beepers " is eternal. I still see stuff from kid but whatever happened to Maharaja, that bro had the moves
Props to Mix-a-Lot. Dude programmed, produced, and mixed all his early records. Didn't jump on the JB bandwagon like most Hip Hop at the time. Most slept on Artist in Hip Hop.
@@NoName-cn3cp I love me some Hoovies Garage! Tyler has done an amazing job with his channel and his collaborations with the Wizard, Ed Bolian, Freddy Tavarish, Johnny the car ninja, etc
That s the kind of Hip Hop I enjoy listening to, as a French person it is extremely hard for me to understand the lyric but here I can clearly understand what he is saying :) loving it 🔥🔥🔥
For a French equivalent, picture an old, rusted Citroen DS. I'd say 2CV but a true match is a higher-end car fallen from glory. So an old Benz would fit as well. As for the Ukraine, old Volga all the way.
Damn, this shit brings back some memories of things I'd forgotten from when I first heard this song. 1989?! Has it really been that long? Kids, remember this message: when you get older time moves really fast no matter how slow you think it is. Time moves fast so enjoy what life is left on this world.
My dad has a 1968 Buick Electra Limited 2-door with only 11,000 miles on it. I always loved that the radio was on the left of the steering wheel so the passenger couldn't screw with it. Damned land yacht.
Did you know that "Hooptie" is a corruption of "Coupé de- ", as in "Cadillac Coupé de Ville" (which is French for "Coupé of the City" - "coupé" means "cut" in French, as in "4 doors cut down to 2 doors")) ? True story!
Sir Mix alot was the MASTER of making a song about a certain thing and sticking to the subject and getting his point across. Oh and I got to give it up to PREACHER for bringing this joint back to life...
@@JoshJamesification Compare the violence of the culture in cinema, and music of the time( outside of hip hop) and you can easily see that it was considered tame, and humorous by those standards. Use your brain
Haha! I gold plated that grille! I worked at Platis Cadillac in Bellevue Wa. in the 80s , sellin Vogues, grilles, Dayton’s & lots o gold!Anthony Ray back in the day! #nastymix ....Mix was always flossin ! The Caddy’ ,the Benz...Posse ‘s on Broadway !
Not sure how I found this but more entertainment value than the last 10 yrs of pop music combined. "Pick up the girls now we're 8 deep, car's barely moving but now we got heat" Lol
I learned how to drive my parent's '69 Impala, and it was the exact color of this Buick. It was a hooptie as well. When my dad bought it, it had a bungee cord holding the trunk shut, and that never changed.. It got our family around, and that's all that mattered.
At least that hooptie was man-made out of steel metal, not machine-made fiberglass, & had "style, & character". I'd rock tf out that '69 everyday I could.
As someone who lives in the salt belt, I wish more cars were made out of fiberglass. They're still steel. They're just super thin steel so they rust out quicker.
1diggitech the 430 is the exact same as the 455 . Minus bore or stroke. What you probably ran against was a 455 with low compression. 71-76 blue engines. Get up against a high compression red painted 70 stage 1 455, no chance for that 430. I have two Buick 455, one bored out to 464, 9.5:1 CR, sitting in my 69 Rivi, and an other stock block waiting for work. both out of 73-74 cars, but the stock low compression engine is a dog compared.
The message that I got from this is that he is trying to explain away the fact that he is driving an old crappy car while his Mercedes is getting fixed, and that all the people in his life or around him are angry for some reason. It's not much, but at least he is having fun rhyming.
I ordered a brand new Mustang LX 5.0 in 1991 while stationed in Korea. I picked it up from the dealer in Las Vegas, slid my cassette into the cassette player and bumped My Hooptie as I drove it off the lot. Still bumping it as I drive my Raptor!!
My dad put this song in my first car and this started to play when I turn the key on for the first time, I'll do the same with my kid's first car as well! 😁😁😁😁

Its been a while but my first car was a 77 Buick Lesabre. It was light green with green leather seats. I got it cheap because it was hit on all 4 corners. You could barely tell because it was such a tank. I loved the hell out of that car believe it or not.
I like this version better than the more frequently heard mix of it. Also, if you had to pick a song that represented the best of the 90's hip hop. Before it went Gangster. This would be it.
Kids do. Cassettes have been popular for awhile now. Just because you're old doesn't mean people younger than you don't know about stuff you grew up with.

Sir-Mix-alot is probably the most underated rapper in Hip Hop history.
Over shadowed himself.

Mix has been undeniably balling straight out of the stratosphere for 40 years straight at this point. What a mogul.

It does!
Its. The. 808
This is back when Rap was good. This is so under rated. The dance moves are epic. Sir Mix Alot is amazing.
My second favorite Mix song...My posse was and still is one of the illest songs to ever drop
😂my 15 yo son plays posse all the time and sits back and watches me sing it. ❤
Freaking awesome. The creativity of these old school raps crushes anything nowadays.
That Benz is so fly. i love it
I wanna do a lowrider version hydraulics bass upholstery interior candy paint murals
The other media calls Mix-A-Lot a one hit wonder because all they know is Baby Got Back they don't know nothing about this or My Posse's on Broadway.
Seattle legend.
My hooptie. Beepers putem on the glass. Square dance rap that's ripping
One times got no case. 1 hit wonder my ass
You right cuz
Or that he's a huge CB radio fanatic and builds huge amplifiers
I was about to say the same thing
Little did he know he was inspiring a young, easily impressionable Kansas white boy named Tyler Hoover to live the hoopty life.

Raised on classic rock here, but I gotta' say, this song is one of the few that can make you laugh and jams at the same time.
Real rap 💪🏾
Them dance moves. Real old school flex action.
😂 more acceptable then this crap now days.
Should probably watch his Beepers video another true classic. But hey message was clear if you know what I mean!
At a family wedding last week I was flowin’ and people were like what’s up? Then they joined. Great time!

A true Wordsmith, one of the greats that doesn't get the recognition as he deserves. IMHO
One of my all-time favorite rappers. No lip syncing, no auto-tune. If you haven't seen him live, you have truly missed out.
My hooptie was an 87" Chevy Eurosport wagon with bench seats that moved everytime I hit the gas, MY hooptie indeed...
This brings back good memories from back in the day. The brother is still getting paid from this music. Sir mix, thanks for being part of hip hop!
