Fiona Apple and DMX, two icons of Nineties music, made comebacks this week, with DMX playing a rare gig at S.O.B.'s in Manhattan, and Apple's forthcoming tour of small clubs selling out in a matter of minutes. Leonard Cohen recently released Old Ideas, his first album in new material in eight years. D'Angelo, who has been missing from the pop scene for over a decade, is touring and prepping a new album. Clearly it's a good time for long-gone artists to return to the spotlight, so our question for this weekend is: Which artist should be next to make a comeback?

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
