University Park, PA-- Rap icon and lover of huge posteriors, Sir-Mix-A-Lot, will be speaking at the Eisenhower Auditorium February 4, 2001, as part of Penn States Distinguished Speaker Series.

           Mix-A-Lot, best known for his timeless classic, "Baby's Got Back", which sold 7 million copies in 1992 will be speaking to the crowd about the joys and cons of a nice firm shapely backside. 

	Seattle rapper Sir-Mix-A-Lot will bring his Grammy winning, platinum-selling hip hop ode to bootie-ful women to the Eisenhower Auditorium.

           "I like a nice firm rump,"  Mix-A-Lot stated, "I like 'em real thick and juicy, kind of like a well stuffed turkey."

               According to a press relaase, Mix-a-Lot has just released a "groundbreaking, ballbusting, all-new fifth album, Return of the Bumpasaurus" which will feature a "smack-upside-yo-nuts combo plate of styles, all of them featuring a return to a low bass throb."

            This is Mix-A-Lot's first appearance in State College.  Penn State president Graham Spanier stated, "Once again, Penn State has committed it resources to bringing nothing but the finest speakers to engage our students."
