Rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot, most notably known for his song Baby Got Back, has created an interactive Facebook app for his fans.
The application is a simple idea. Users are asked to answer questions based on two choices in an either-or style. But the answers need to be based on the rapper's or your friends' choices versus your own. If he guesses correctly, the user will earn "Hype" points. Once the user has enough Hype points, they can purchase virtual goods like a shout-out in a Sir Mix-A-Lot video.
The Sir Mix-A-Lot app is called MixNMatch and was created by interactive shop Giant Thinkwell. This game is the perfect app for Facebook users who can appreciate the rapper's attempt to promote fan interactivity.
