Too Short never fails to impress me. He is the most consistent mc in the game, has near the most albums by a solo artist and has never dropped a garbage album. Cocktails is no different. Mackadocious pimp rhymes has made Too Short a living legend. He is definitely in the top ten best emcees ever and this is one of his better albums. Cocktails has more updated beats than was on his previous releases. Are they better? Yes and No. The beats have lost that touch of funk ( not as much of it in these songs ) and opts for more bumpable mainstream sound. It's either good or bad depending on your tastes in beats. To me they are equally bumpable. Too Short drops classic lines in songs such as Cocktales, Ain't Nothing But Pimping-a hilarious chorus, Thangs Change-where he drops knowledge on women degrading themselves, premarital sex, and sex on TV and how it is destroying youth, Can I Get A B!tch, Paystyle, etc. etc. Too Short lets other producers such as Ant Banks and The Dangerous Crew handle the majority of the beats. Tupac Shakur shows up for a guest appearance on We Do This, one of the best songs on the cd, along with MC Breed, Jamal & Malik from Illegal and Ant Banks. Overall this is a classic Too $hort album. Short Dog doesn't disappoint and keeps it real. I recommend it.Free Music Review: TOO SHORT DOES IT AGAIN

ONCE AGAIN TOO SHORT PUTS OUT A TIGHT CD. TRACK 9 WITH TUPAC AND BREED IS BY FAR THE BEST TRACK ON THE CD BUT THE REST OF THE ALBUM IS ALSO GOOD, COCKTALES AND GIVIN UP THE FUNK ARE TOO SHORT CLASSICS AND GAME WITH FREDDY B IS PRETTY TIGHT.Free Music Review: THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM.

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: Cocktails: From MC to Song Writer

There is no doubt that Too Short is the AC/DC of rap. His songs are instantly identifiable. Some may say that all of Too Short song sound the same, yet the truth is that Too Short lays down a blueprint that every rapper worth their salt studys. Cocktails takes a big jump from the basic old school beats of earlier Too Short albums. (Life is..., Born To Mack, Shorty the Pimp.)This time around it is clear that short has learned to craft a song by using live instrmentation and lyrics that are clever and serious at the same time. This is the album that relly shows that Too SHort will always come up with another rap. I reccomend this for any rap fan or aspiring MC.
