Urban Quick Hits: Mix-A-Lot's Phone Mix-Up, the Kardashians Give Input on Kanye's Album, and Rap Albums that Turn 20

1. A Seattle man named Jonathan Nichols got a new cellphone in 2012, and Verizon gave him a number that was once used by Seattle hip-hop LEGEND SIR MIX-A-LOT. And there's a reason he knows about it.

He's received COUNTLESS calls and texts intended for Mix. Initially, it was car dealerships, and music that people wanted him to hear . . . but it wasn't long before he started getting tons of photos of women in bikinis and stuff. Some of them were just sexy, and others were raunchy.

He figured out what was happening on August 12th . . . Sir Mix-a-Lot's birthday . . . when his phone was blowing up. When a reporter contacted Mix to tell him about this guy, he said, quote,

"Are you serious? That is hilarious. Poor fella."

(By the way, regardless of what you may have heard in "Baby Got Back", the number isn't

1-900-MIX-A-LOT.)

2. KIM KARDASHIAN says KANYE WEST took input from her and her sisters for his upcoming album, "Swish". Quote, "He really cares about our opinions, which I find even cooler, because we're not artists . . . he wants us all in the studio at different times. Thank God we all live a block away from each other."

3. A list of notable rap albums that turn 20 years old this year includes:

"All Eyez on Me" by Tupac

"The Score" by The Fugees 

"Reasonable Doubt" by Jay Z

"ATLiens" by Outkast

"Illadelph Halflife" by The Roots.
