Free Music Review: One of Short's better CD's
Hit: 5 Stars
Cocktales is one of Shorty's best CD's in my opinion. You can ride the to the whole CD except for Thangs Change. Besides for that one song the CD is great. It also features a song by 2pac and MC breed a good mix of cali. Not too much to say about cocktails except for a good album name for Short and overall a A- CD. My favorite song is coming up short then top down. Obviously i've gotta reccommend almost every short album cause im a fan but this CD is good even if your not a true fan like me. Beeyatch!

Hit: 3 Stars
I recently purchsed this album after buying all the albums Short recorded before it. I saw the video for Top Down and thgouht the beat was tight so i coped the album cuz you cant go wrong with Short dogg. After bumpin Top Down for 20 minutes, I went on to listen to the album. It is funky, but with a different touch of funk than say Shorty the Pimp or Get In Where You Fit In. Dont get it twisted, this is definetly some straight Cokeland funk, but you can tell Short is moving away from his old school roots in testing new sounds and beats. I do have to give credit though to Ant Banks, that fool can never make a bad funk beat. Him and Short together is like a dynamic duo never heard in the rap game. Especially in the Bay Area. Top Down is definetly the thumper of this album. His raps are on point because you will want to bump these beats all over town. Too $hort is one of those rappers you just are not ashamed of. He has street cred, pimpin' game, and has produced some of the funkiest, tightest bass loops around. Too bad this was the last true funk album before $hort got a lil wanksta on us all.Free Music Review: By far his best album
Hit: 5 Stars
This in my opinion is his finest album. An ablum where you don't have to hit the Fast forward button once, every track is worth the playtime. With a smooth blend of bass line beats with tales of pimpin' to compliment that...it can't be beat. 5 stars.Free Music Review: Album "#9" is his 2nd best -- maybe 4.5 stars
Hit: 5 Stars
2 years since he dropped my favorite of his albums, $hort is back with my 2nd favorite of his 9 albums of his that I own. Packed with some of the best production I ever heard on an album (that Dangerous Crew funk) and some of the best dirtiest song I ever heard on here. Of the 12 songs, 2 are classics, 2 or 3 are almost classic material, 3 are ok, and the rest are good or great songs. Guests are not on all the songs like newer albums, they get down with $hort on 5 songs. Production is just unbelievably funky and out of this world as Dangerous Crew members do 11 of the 12. The Dangerous Crew, the always great Ant Banks and Too $hort each do 3 songs, Shorty B, Spearhead X and Pee Wee each do 1. A must have rap album for fans of real rap and fans of that funky west coast music.
#1 - 8.5
#2 - 9.5 (great Freaky Tales from $hort -- dirty song w/ great beat)
#3 - 9.5 (f/ Ant Banks who also provides a great beat -- another dirtier song)
#4 - 8.5 (tight beat -- hook is kind of annoying)
#5 - 8.5 (f/ Mr. Malik & Jamal of Illegal, Baby D & Tempest-- nice beat)
#6 - 9 (tight beat)
#7 - 7.5 (f/ Ant Banks, Goldy, Pee Wee)
#8 - 10 (CLASSIC -- UNREAL BEAT from Ant Banks)
#9 - 10 (CLASSIC -- f/ 2Pac {R.I.P.}, MC Breed, Father Dom -- great beat)
#10 - 7.5 (f/ Old School Freddie B -- tight beat)
#11 - 8 (nice beat)
#12 - 7.5 (dirty song w/ good beat)
