  • SME, stop blocking Too $hort's songs in my country you motherfuckers! At least there's no problem getting to the comments but dammit, I'm sick of being blocked.

  • allways remmber were come from

    

  • "Old school" is a useless term. Music still sounds the same as it did.

  • @owen2760 Not really. The bass nowadays doesn't thump like it did in songs like this, the lyrical content is irrelevant punchlines 99.9% of the time and it just doesn't have the feel good vibe of songs like this.

  • no school like old school

  • no it aint too short...hah

  • What an Artist, he doesnt need to be a fake gangsta, hes the real deal.

  • It's old school but i digg it!

  • You know what. Just to freak some people out, I would like to see what would happen if they were to put old rap songs like this on the radio. Let's see how they react when they hear real rap.

  • I lived in the Bay Area in the late 80s, He was a fuckin legend, I dont care what color you was or what kind of crew your rolled with, he was the shit...

  • good for bass , i ainta beleiva i listened to an ass. at least this song was ok/

  • he was right bout never stop rappin. mother fucker is like 60 still rappin hhaha

  • they say old men are wiser. He's old...and i see him bitchin with wiz khalifa...

  • original o.g there is another rapper who's name sounds like short dog and says beaatch too and is large I hope he gives O.G. short dog love and props, know what im sayin for his fame. Much love short dogg.

  • This was a true test of car audio at that time. Toooooo much bass for almost anything to handle, 3 different basslines and an 808....most dudes systems sounded like garbage when they bumped this.

  • cant believe only a couple of million crave this song

  • So wat happen to keeping old school?

  • 0.45

  • damn and he a lil too old to rap now??lolol

  • This was a great track from a time that there weren't too many Bay Area MCs. The video captures the vibe of an already rough city ravaged by a decade of crack, poverty, forced displacement of housing project residents from San Fran, etc. Too $hort and the "dope fiend beat" production has a place in the history of Hip Hop and always will.

  • Damn , sounds sooo goood after a coldy n a bluntski....niggarachi yyaaaaaa mmmaaaiiinnn

  • love this one ten years love it

  • i love the elementary rhymes lol

  • right across the river from sanfran. ahahaha.............

  • if u into tha classics like this, then u really should go read this inccredible book-that got written recently where-almost alll the great legendary rappers got-innterrviewed.,,i found it-in the-bookstore.,but.Amazon.,;go­ts it too.,.. booook=

    -;,.HOW,;-TO,'-RAP;,;The.Art.,­+.Science- of, the. Hip.Hop. MC.;--

  • Normal fitting jeans. Quite refreshing.

  • wowwwww

  • too short is so fukin trash

  • "you hearda Too $hort? I'm TOO LONG"

  • too short is the best

  • ONE M0:00RE TIMEE! ;)

  • Without this there'd be no Lil Weezie or any rap today. This shit got radio play when there was no rap on the airwaves. This pave'd the way for NWA, Pac, WuTang. This was recorded on old 808 kicks and 2inch reel to reels in some dj's house. They just didn't have ProTools, Reason back then(1987). And yet they created a new sensation that grew into what we have today. This shit is harder than any Drake, Rhianna pop singer on digital 32bit, 44khz sample rate!!

  • Damn this was the hardest shit back then!!

  • This guy in the back is kiling

  • 70 MOTHERFUCKERS R DEAF

  • Comment removed

  • @realmadrid9231 hip hop was real back then stupid

  • Comment removed

  • @realmadrid9231 Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but you should put down the crack pipe. It must be affecting your brain.

  • @timytim4prez ... Classic

  • My uncles are OG's now and they say Oakland wasn't as bad as it is now !! That's insane. We need more songs like these so we these young bucks can learn something

  • Wow.. Can't believe Oakland is still the same. I'm a youngster and I survived in Oakland for the 5 years. A whole new generation of gangsters have taken Oakland by the balls. The epidemic of violence started around 2004-2011. Eversince, Oakland has still been in the top 5 most dangerous cities WTF !! Nothing to be proud of though.

  • @ MrWalter....and u know thz main...lol

  • THE REAL PIMP

  • Does anbody know the song with these lyrics where all my westside riders at whoot whoot where all my eastsider

    I'm serious. This song was popular in the 90's and played on various hip hop stations. The lyrics again were "Where all my westside riders at? Whoot. Whoot. Where all my eastside riderst at whoot whoot...and it would go on for the south and north...

  • Classic

  • damn we wore sum tightass clothes back then, I mean sqeezin ass clothes :(

  • Hell yeah, $hort Dogg & my class of 88' getting respect...that's right mother fuckers I'm old! I hardly ever hear cars bump that BASS anymore. Makes sense. The bullshit coming out now shouldn't be played at high volume in a residential area! To quote Too $hort I wanna say to the bitch ass rap posers today "We don't need to kiss, we don't have to fuck I'll pull out my dick bitch, you can suck"...The greatest lyric in the history of rap!!! Courtesy of my boy, S. I. R. T. double O...Beyotch!!!

  • BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH !!!!!!

  • Ive always loved TOO $HORT's music i got mostly all his albums. He always rapped some good game, yeah he may talk about women but he talks about how a lot of women really are. This foo is about 45 46 but he still sounds koo though. I dont think he will ever be played out. Hes still better then a lot of these so called rappers that you hear on the radio these days, there fucken wack !

  • Respect the OLD WEST!

  • @phantom12311976 More like the ancient west! Still big ups to Short even though you just made me feel REALLY old!

  • Hmmm yes old school. This is ok innocent stuff. But why did he have to go down the path of degrading women and sexism? I like more this fun stuff.

  • @royalsteven too short always had "sexism" in his songs from jump LOL, too short a beast though

  • Hmm I thought he was a human being o_O
