They decided to dedicate a song to the opposite extreme, featuring curvy women of color. Mix and Dorsey sought to "broaden the definition of beauty."[iv]

The song is talking about women who damn near kill themselves to endeavor to wait like these beanpole models that yous see in Faddy magazine." He explains that almost women respond positively to the song's message, peculiarly black women: "They all say, 'Virtually time.'"[five]

In the vocal'southward prelude there is a chat between two (presumably) thin, white Valley girls, like to daughter talk in Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl". One daughter (dubbed Linda by Amylia Dorsey)[6] remarks to her friend, "Oh, my, God Becky, wait at her barrel! Information technology is so big... She's only and then blackness!", at which point Sir Mix-a-Lot begins rapping.

They described information technology as "the novelty song that never went away", adding, "You could put this on at a wedding ceremony today and women will recite the opening word for word before the rap breaks in and anybody (and I hateful anybody) joins in. Sir Mix-a-Lot was never shy about playing up the songs "playful" nature, rapping on height of a giant butt in the video."[nine] James Bernard from Entertainment Weekly noted that the song "alternates deftly between a critique of the Cosmo/Playboy narrow-minded — and narrow-hipped — standard of female beauty and a bawdy appreciation of, er, generous rear ends."[x]
