Comming off the phenomonal and one of my personal favorite albums Get in Where You Fit In, Short Dog hits us with his ninth album Cocktales in late '94/early '95. Trufully, this album picks up where his previous album left off with funky production and signiture Short Dog & Dangerous Crew rhymes. With the lead single "Cocktales", that basically is another remake of his classic song "Freaky Tales", and more than likely you know what the subject matter is.
Too Short kicks some great rhymes. Like any other album, you'll have enough bad words through out this album. But that is why we love him. A standout song would be "Giving Up The Funk" with the Dangerous Crew. "Comming Up $hort" he kicks some rhymes over a great beat. A lot of reviewers speak of the song "Top Down", because Short flows almost perfectly over an Ant Banks beat. I personally like the final track "Don't **** For Free" because the production and the hook to the song.
Whenever Short isn't kicking rhymes about pimpin', he kicks something else worth listening to which is also great. I like the second single "Paystyle" about how he's comming in the rap game and saying something about the biting rappers. "Thangs Change" he rhymes about how much has changed in the urban neighborhoods and how kids grow up too fast. It's good to hear tracks like that from Short Dog and whats on his mind. That track also features Illegal (Jamal and Malik), Baby D, and Temptest. "Sample The Funk" has production that reminds me of his previous album as the track itself is so funky and easy listening.
Overall, Cocktales is a great album. Too Short hit his lyrical peak with this LP. At the same time, this album doesn't top Get in Where You Fit In, but comes very close. There are no bad tracks on here, and all are worth listening to. It's a shame how far he's fallen nowadays in the rap game. With the music he dropping now makes this album even sound better. But at the end of the day, this is one album I recommend adding to your collection. Peace.
