Too Short "Gettin' It F/Parliament Funkadelic"

Born in Los Angeles, but an Oakland resident by the age of 14, Too Short was the first West Coast rap star, recording three albums on his own before he made his major-label debut with 1988's gold album Born to Mack; his next four all went platinum. Anticipating much of the later gangsta phenomenon, he restricted his lyrical themes to tales of sexual prowess and physical violence, with the occasional social message track to mix things up. After the release of Gettin' It (Album Number Ten) in 1996, Too Short decided to retire, his status assured as one of the most successful solo rappers of the 1980s and early '90s, although that decision would prove short-lived.

And even retired...his music is much better than the canned uneducated (street or formal) we get spoon fed by the recording industry today.

Too Short is not dead you ignorant asses..He just RETIRED. He made is money and said F it and is taking it easy. See unlike some other MFs from Oakland he didn't SPEND all his money on bull**** and still has it.
