Return of the Bumpasaurus is the fifth album by the rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot, released in 1996 by American Recordings.[8][9] It peaked at No. 123 on the Billboard 200.[10] It includes the single "Jump on It", which samples the Sugarhill Gang's version of "Apache".
Critical reception[edit]
The Los Angeles Times called the album "chock-full of the high beat-per-minute jams and molasses-thick grooves that made the self-proclaimed 'J.R. Ewing' of the Seattle rap scene a multimillionaire in the first place."[7] The Baltimore Sun wrote that "most of the sounds here are decidedly second-hand, adding no fresh flavor to the bass-derived sound Mix-A-Lot has peddled from the start."[11]
