Too Short is respected as a legend for being one of the West Coast's first MCs and gets unconditional love from the Bay. His eighth album is 1993's "Get In Where You Fit In," a fine showcase of one of rap's most unique characters. Back in '93, classic hip hop LPs were dropping by the week, and Too Short's Dangerous Crew created a presence with their funk-based Oakland sound. Ant Banks deserves a co-credit for this LP, for mastering the pure, ungangstafied funk that was the Dangerous Crew's trademark. True to his formula, the songs have no hooks or recognizable structure, so sometimes they drag on, especially since all but two tracks approach six minutes or more. But the bass-heavy, twangy funk is endlessly enjoyable, with live instrumental breaks, clever samples, and thumping percussion. Banks' funk isn't soulful or smooth like Long Beach's g-funk; it's heavy, deep, live, and tight. Musically this is one of Banks' best works, comparable to his solo efforts.
It's business as usual for Shorty on the mic. The topics at hand are pimping, his sexcapades, and prowess with the ladies. Short's pimp persona is by this point familiar, but still fun as he tells long winding stories over Ant Banks' tracks. He is one-dimensional, but at this point in his career, the Dangerous Crew was in full effect, and frequent guests include Ant Banks, Goldy, Rappin' Ron, and Ant Diddley Dog. "I'm a Player" is the opening highlight, a pumping statement from both Short and Banks. "Just Another Day," produced excellently by QDIII, chronicles a day that includes hustling in Oakland, a post-game party at Gary Payton's house, and a concert in New Orleans. "Gotta Get Some Lovin'" recounts a "dry spell" over a spage-age banger, and Banks cleverly flips well-known samples for "Money in the Ghetto" and "BJ Betty." Banks and Short trade off verses over "All My Bs are Gone"'s twangy lick, and the whole Dangerous Crew shows up for "The Dangerous Crew" and the title track, the latter a 9-minute diss at former member Pooh-Man (check out Ain't No Love for the comeback). Short proves time and time again that he can flow for days, and he is frequently a force on the mic as his stories defy any convention. Short and Banks are a great match and their music is completely unique and creative.
"Get In Where You Fit In" isn't a lyrical masterpiece by any means, but what Short lacks in lyricism he makes up for in style and Ant Banks' beats. It's hard to compare an album like this to the classics of '93, because it relies on a different formula of music and style. In any event, it is a good listen that I recommend. Over Too Short's long and winding career, his music has become reheated and derivative, but I think his best days were with Banks and the Dangerous Crew, so this is an album I'd check out if you're new to Too Short. He's a better character than rapper, but he's one of rap's most prolific and influential MCs and it's hard to argue with this funk. Good music for the ride, party, or just relaxing.
Free Music Review: A great album for anyone who loves X-rated funk.
Hit: 4 Stars
On this album, Too $hort continues to play his 'pimp' character, in great doses. This album is definitely not for the more sensitive viewers, due to his extremely sexist views, but if it doesn't offend you, you'll love it. This album, as are all of $hort's, is heavily influenced by P-Funk, and there are many great samples on it. The best song is definitely "I'm a Player", on which he tells the lifestyle of mackin' over a dope funk beat. This is actually one of the best Short Dog songs you will ever hear, and it is worth buying just for the one song. Of course, all the songs are good though, including the remake of B.J.B., which is probably better than the original. This is also the first album, with $hort's Dangerous Crew partners rapping on many of the songs. Definitely go buy this. If you don't, then you need to "Get In Where You Fit In, Biiiiiitch"!Free Music Review: Classic early 90 west coast CD

Classic Short CD. Not one of my favorites but its defenitly worth having. Great tracks are blowjo_ betty, all my bitches are gone, get in where you fit in, i'm a player. You can't compare it to Shorty The Pimp his previous album with is one of my favorites. The album really talks about whats it's called Get in where you fit in. You belong where your supposed to be. Everyone knows where Too Short wants to be up in. Beeyatch! For every Too Short review check out my other reviews
