* FairForItsDay: "Baby Got Back" sounds shallow and objectifying nowadays, but it was actually a body positivity message at the time. The song's opening features two white women body shaming a black woman, and Mix-A-Lot then comes in to refute them that he in fact finds the woman attractive ''because'' of her large butt -- in effect declaring that there are multiple forms of beauty, implying that everyone is attractive to someone. It's also criticizing how standards of beauty in the African-American community were more commonly looked down on because they didn't meet the more Anglo standards.

* NarmCharm: "Baby Got Back" is about as silly and juvenile as a rap tune can get, and is all the better as a result. Though considered an example of dirty rap, it's ''very'' tame by comparison to other songs in the genre, and it may have been explicit and controversial for its time, but far worse gets produced every single day now.
