1-900-MIX-A-LOT has been disconnected permanently! We didn't do the age limit thing, so we got kicked out of there. And as far as liking big butts and being honest, that was the case when I was young, and as you get older, you have to fib a little bit, standards get a little lower. You might meet a girl, her butt might sag a little bit, but you tell her it's nice anyways. As you get older, you can't be picky.

I always say - chaotic mix sounds like you have some things in competing frequencies. So look at where your vocals resonate, in the frequency spectrum, and I would say - roll out the bottom in a little bit - once you find where your vocals resonate, if it's competing with guitars in the same space, get those frequencies that compete with your vocals out. If you turn the vocals up you'll kill your mix. Equalization is far more powerful when you use it in a SUBTRACTIVE way, not additive. Pull some of those frequencies out that are competing with your vocal. Great question.

It's amazing how people - I guess maybe because they're not in the industry - but how people think I should be mad about the song. I think it's cool, she took part of the song, she made a Nicki Minaj song. I love the track, I have fun listening to the track, it's crazy as hell, and for a guy who likes butts, how can i look at the video and say I don't like it? I say more power to it. Go Nicki Go!

Money. OOHHH you thought I was gonna say butts, didn't you?!

OH HELL NO.

As a matter of fact - when I did Baby Got Back - initially it was a slow song like Posse on Broadway, which was my hit prior to Baby Got Back. And then I decided to make a fast version, it was the second to the last song, and I didn't like it, I thought it was going to piss everybody off. And Rick Rubin said he loved it, Ricardo said he loved it, I said what the hell, and we put it out...and to show you how much I didn't think it was going to hit, I selected a song called "One Time's Got No Case" and we shot a video for it, all this stuff, I thought that was going to be the hit, and it just flopped. So I shut my mouth, let the pros do what they do, and Rick was right!
