22 years after taking the charts by storm, 90s rap icon Sir Mix-a-Lot still likes big butts and he cannot lie.

The 50-year-old recently took to the stage with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra to perform a classical rendition of his Grammy Award-winning single "Baby Got Back".
The performance was part of the Seattle Sympony's "Sonic Evolution Project", now in its third year, which seeks to commission composers to write arrangements that link to the Emerald City's people and culture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to try a little something you may have never heard before," the rapper says.

As the song takes off, dozens of women in formal attire join the rapper on the stage to shake their stuff, as the audience joins in with the lyrics.

The performance was orchestrated by Gabriel Prokofiev, the granson of 20th century Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Prokofiev.
