About The Record:
One Time's Got No Case (12" Single), by Sir Mix-A-Lot, released in late 1991 on his Rhyme Cartel label, was a significant release following a two-year legal battle with NastyMix, symbolizing his newfound creative and professional independence. The autobiographical track humorously critiques racial profiling by law enforcement, depicting Mix outsmarting cops in court, offering a satirical take distinct from the era’s gangsta rap themes. Featuring a lively, guitar-driven beat and an extended Bass Mix version, it also includes bonus tracks like Lockjaw and Sprung On The Cat, previewing his upcoming album Mack Daddy. Historically, it marked Sir Mix-A-Lot’s shift from Seattle’s underground to major-label prominence with Def American, setting the stage for his 1992 breakthrough. While One Time's Got No Case saw modest rap chart success, it introduced Mack Daddy, which spawned the iconic hit Baby Got Back, a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 for five weeks, selling over 2.5 million copies and earning a 1993 Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance.
