40 ladies on stage dancing… we think the rapper’s still got it…

We love a good collaboration here in JOE Towers and what happened in Seattle on Friday night was up there with the best we’ve seen, not so much because of the music but because of what the music did to the people at the concert.

Legendary rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot teamed up with the Seattle Symphony for a special gig called Sonic Evolution, he rapped his songs and they played the backing music, it was all very cool. Mr Lot belted out some of his rhymes but the one everyone was waiting for was his biggest hit “Baby Got Back”…

This song drives people crazy, JOE’s witnessed this phenomenon in many a nightclub around the country but when he performs it in his hometown, it goes to another level.

This is full blown hysteria…

Hat-tip to Seattle Times.
