Anthony Ray (1963-), better known by his stage name '''Sir Mix-a-Lot''', is most famous for the [[One-Hit Wonder]] song "Baby Got Back". He's also a record producer, and has done a number of other songs.

Fair or not, to many he's become a symbol of what's wrong with rap music, with the misogyny (it's still debated whether the song's point is "women are objects" or "I'm just celebrating my [[Fetish]]"... [[Take a Third Option|or both]]), along the [[Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry|bling]] and [[Pretty in Mink|fur coats]]. The song [[Alternate Character Interpretation|has even been interpreted]] by [https://web.archive.org/web/20131205111902/http://www.racialicious.com/2009/07/09/black-booty-body-politics/ at least one (black) feminist] as a celebration of women's bodies and an attack on the prevailing beauty standards of the day, and he's not associated with the violence that often plagues gangster rappers.

He also was the narrator in the very short-lived ''The Watcher'', a show in [[UPN]]'s inaugural season.
