"Swass" kicks into gear with "Buttermilk Biscuits" which actually features a high-pitched Kid Sensation rapping about the finer points of biscuits. It seems silly, but you have to realize that the Mix-A-Lot posse was never one to take themselves too seriously. Which is why they could pull off a song as frivolous as this one in the first place.
His songs have an advanced degree of humor and storytelling. He raps about buttermilk biscuits, beepers, and firearms (he's an active gun owner, the rap-world equivalent of Ted Nugent). He sped up the voice of partner Kid Sensation on "Square Dance Rap" and "Rippin," rendering both delightfully cartoonish yet fully slamming.
