People use to say his flow is too slow and simple, but he knows how to make it work really well over thousands of songs over many decades. He also shows you don't need to put big words in your raps to be a great rapper. Too Short was also a big proponent for live instruments for rap beats & paying original artists for their "sample", instead of just sampling their beat on a loop. He has features from Parliament/Funkadelic/George Clinton on his instrumentals. ....i peeped Spice 1 was mentioned also one of my favorites, hes been slept on even by the old heads, i think mainly because he kept his gangsta style/underground.
Not only was $hort the pioneer of selling tapes out the trunk of his car, he was also one of the first cats to have live bands play their beats to avoid sample clearance problems
Shorty The Pimp AKA Short Dog! Too $hort Is a Legend In The Game, He comes From that Era of Pimpin Hoes And Slammin Cadillac Doe's!!!🔥🔥🔥😎 Too Short has a nice catalog of albums He has been around in the game since his 1st album Born to Mack. way back in ''1987" Great reaction I enjoyed, And hopefully you guys can do more Too Short reactions. It seems like Too Short is before yalls time, But If yall like ''The Ghetto'' Im sure yall will like more of his music!🎶😎
@@jaimeponce3803 If you go on E bay you could probably come across a cassette of born to mack. I know this sounds hard to believe I still got cassette tapes that i had since 1986" 87" back when I was 11 years old. Its been a while since I played any of them but when I do they still sound good.
Yes Too Short is a Elder Statesmen in Hip Hop and he was Raised in the Black Panther Party for self defense era.. in fact he was likely a Baby Panther seeing firsthand that first Black Panther generation that had Free Breakfast programs in all their chapters he read the Black Panther Party pamphlets.. So Too Short and many what they called reality rappers had a more militant fiery type of Hip Hop that wasn't in the East Coast rappers style.. The Rappers in the South, Midwest and West Coast were fighting with the police having shootouts with police they needed national guardsmen to help the police whereas out East the police were bullying them extorting them big time while elsewhere police got extorted...
do your HISTORY on TOO $HORT... legend, bay area, started/master all that independent movement..in the 80s/90s...that where MASTER P learn the game and took it to another level,he built NO LIMIT in bay area ...
My 2 favorite 2 short songs are too shortand cuss words.I'm sorry.Its life is too shorti. Haven't heard all his stuffbut those are definitely the two songs I like
The sample and video so fire
and the nostalgia, the fact this song was on GTA San Andreas a lot of our first introduction to old hip hop music
It's a Donny Hathaway sample and Gerald was singing the hook.
The West Coast and the South used a lot of live instruments in most of the music back then. That's why the music resonates the way it does.
FACTS!!! Short was the first to slang tapes out the trunk. Pioneers for sure. Short actually put Spice on
And I have plenty of those tapes.

Many rappers back in the day no matter if they were talking pimp ish or whatever always had a conscious song or two on their albums.
