Sir Mix-A-Lot, the man known to his mother as Anthony Ray (seen above with Ron Jeremy), and known to everyone else as the greatest supporter of bountiful backsides in the world, was born.
The rapper's pro-big butt song "Baby Got Back" was a number one hit in 1992 and still resonates to this day. A recent supercut remix of "Baby Got Back" posted on youtube that features movie characters singing the song's lyrics has already reached over 735,000 views.
