Free Music Review: CLASSIC -- album "#8" is his best
Hit: 5 Stars
WOW!! The Oaktown pimp really went overboard with album 8. Just 15 months since his last album, he comes with his best and funkiest album of all 15!!! With 13 songs of straight funk, it has 3 classics, 2 almost classics and the rest are real good or great songs. Guests aren't all over, just on most the last half of the album, and it is mostly his Dangerous Crew clique. The production is GREAT, in the words of DJ Quik it's "Way 2 Fonky". Every song has an unreal beat and the dangerous crew posse is to thank (as well as 1 great track by QDII). Ant Banks does 5 songs and the Dangerous Crew does 7 (no wonder this may be the best produced album I ever heard and I have over 675 rap albums! Ant Banks, Dangerous Crew and QDII -- No words here just listen and you'll understand) A must have album for all.
#1 - 8.5 (short amount of rapping and alot of talkin but tight -- nice beat as well)
#2 - 9 (about him being player -- good beat)
#3 - 11 (CLASSIC!!! -- GREAT BEAT and 7+ minutes of funk)
#4 - 9 (dirty songa bout having no ho's -- tight beat)
#5 - 8 (about money in da hood)
#6 - 10 (CLASSIC and his dirtiest song ever -- nice raggae beat)
#7 - 8.5 (f/ Ant Banks -- tight beat -- about how al his biaaatches are gone)
#8 - 9.5 (f/ Spice 1, Goldy, Ant Banks, Pee Wee - the Dangerous Crew!! -- great beat)
#9 - 8.5 (f/ Rappin Ron {R.I.P.} & Ant Diddley Dog -- dissin Pooh Man)
#10 - 10 (CLASSIC w/ GREAT BEAT)
#11 - 9.5 (f/ Father Dom & Ant BAnks -- tight beat)
#12 - 9 (f/ Leslie Calaway -- nice beat)
#13 - 8 (FM BLue f/ Too $hort)

Free Music Review: Too $hort's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
In a day and age where it seems like any rapper can grab the spotlight for 15 minutes of fame, Too Short is an anomaly. With virtually no radio or MTV play, he has consistently put out successful albums, regularly reaching platinum status. "Get in Where You Fit In", Short's 8th record, easily rates as one of the best rap/hip-hop albums of the 90's, and is considered by most to already be a classic.Ant Banks teamed up with Short to produce the album, and the legendary team made the "Oakland Funk" style a bona-fide sound. Eliminating most of the phrase-sampled loops from the album's beats, they instead focused on live instruments and programmed drums, resulting in a sound that is clear and original. LA producer QDIII provides a masterpiece of a beat as well, on the song "Just Another Day".
Too Short may not be the most lyrically gifted rapper out there, but at least he knows his identity. He includes many trademark "dirty" raps, and sticks to familiar ground with the album's content, but--that is what he does best.
The real strength of the album lies in its supporting characters. This album was produced in 1993, at a time when the Bay Area Dangerous Crew was at its strongest. Short is backed up by some of the best Oakland and San Francisco rappers, including Spice 1, Goldy, Father Dom, Rappin' Ron, Ant Diddly Dog, and others. The distinctive styles of these rappers when paired with the style-defining beats combine to make Get In Where You fit in not only Too Short's best album, but the epitome of the Northern California rap sound.
Free Music Review: Easily His Best Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
Too Short definitely has had a great mainstay in hip hop today, and has had one as early as 1993, his 8th album, Get In Where You Fit In. Too Short continues his formula of vocal pimpin on wax, and the sales do not lie, he has sold millions of records with his simple but engaging flows. His flows complement the syrupy G-Funk beats courtesy of Ant Banks (one of my fav's), QDIII(another great), The Dangerous Crew. My favorite Short song of all time is here on "Just Another Day." QDIII laces a smooth twangy funk beat with a great whiny synth in the hooks on this 7 1/2 minute classic. Short does a great job telling his life on tour all across the hoods of the U.S. A similar song is DJ Quik's "Jus Lyke Compton" from his 1992 classic Way 2 Fonky, where he tells the tales of touring all thru the U.S. hoods. I love "Way Too Real" where Short gets it raw and trill over an immaculate Ant Banks lowrider ready beat. "Gotta Get Some Lovin'" is where Short is horny and is sick of not having a woman to fool with over a slick syrupy beat; it's hella funny!! "BJ Betty" is raunchy: I believe it is a remake of an 80's song he made, but don't quote me on that! "All My B----s Are Gone" is self-explanatory with a twangy Ant Banks beat where you'll ride slow loud and bangin' to on the avenue! Pimp rap is not new in 1993 and especially to Short Dog, but his charisma and the G-Funk beats definitely make the album a definitely classic!! Banks and Short ddefinitely have great chemistry and I am glad to say they done made a lotta songs together!Free Music Review: A strong album - possibly $horts best
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the strongest overall album I have heard from Too $hort. The production is by far the funkiest of all the albums, and this album was dropped during a period when short was going from strength to strength. It doesn't suffer from too many guest appearances, as many of his later efforts do.
"Money in the Ghetto" is an instant classic, with it's sample of "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool and the Gang and Short's raps about getting over. Followed by "B***job Betty" A funky Rap
from way back in the day, over a real tight beat. "Another Day" has some real deap base and a differnt sound for $hort - somewhat refreshing.
"Gotta Get Some Loving" is one of my favorite Too $hort tracks, with a cool beat and $hort rapping about how he can't get no loving. This is a cool song that I can listen to over and over again, much like "Ain't nothin' but a word" for those that know it.
Get in where you fit in is an 8 minute plus opus, and another standout Too $hort track.
The only song I don't much like is "Oakland Style". But it's at the end, so I can just skip it.
In short by this, Life is Too $hort, You Nasty, and Short Dog's in Tha House - to hear $hort at his best.
Free Music Review: Too Short's finest album.
Hit: 5 Stars
I have purchased EVERY Too Short album. I have listened to all of them many many times. People who know me know that I am not a traditional rap hip-hop fan. Yes I love Rap and Hip Hop, but I don't like someone just cause someone else does, and some of the rappers that people think are the greatest aren't. Clue, my top ten is not what everyone else seems to think is the top ten. Too Short is my number one for many reasons; length of career, quality of music, what he has done, etc etc. What HASN'T Too Short done. This is my favorite because NONE of the songs get tiring or boring. I have gotten people who listen to metal and old stuff to like this album. His beats and samples are used to perfection, and people will be sampling his stuff once he is done. Every song gets a 5. You can't rate something with threes and fours and have it a five for the album. So if you want a good party album with quality sound and feel to it, buy this album.
