 5 Star Apr 17, 2008
Too Short is the Ultimate PIMP - If you like this album check out Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1 - from his homie Devin the Dude another 5 Stars
 Album Number Seven (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars) Nov 08, 2007
If you haven't learned already, you'll learn now that Too Short is one of my favorite rappers. Almost everything hes dropped up until 1995 has either been classic or near classic material. Here is his number seven album "Shorty The Pimp", more of the Oakland sounding funk that he is known to put out with the help of his right hand producer Ant Banks, who produced the majority of this album...so you know it's going to be good.
Some tracks that immediately stood out to me were "Hoes" and "No Love From Oakland" two perfect sounding songs. The latter song, Short Dog spits two extremely long verses over a weird Banks beat. "Step Daddy" is a funny song about Short playing the role hooking up with a woman with kids. To me that is the best song on the album. "Hoochie" is another great song produced by D'Wayne Wiggins. The lead singles from this album were "In The Trunk" where Short spits one long verse, and "I Want To Be Free (That's The Truth)" where he rhymes about how bad cops in Oakland are. For all you newcommers to Short, you'll be suprised that he actually rhymed about something else more than sex. Near the end, Ant Banks, Pooh-Man, and Mhisani (Goldy) comes in for "Something To Ride To" where after they rhyme, the beat just plays for an additional six or seven minutes.
Shorty The Pimp is an excellent album, especially if you're a fan of Too Short. Some of the tracks sound dated, but never loose their replay value. Fans of Bay Area rap will like this one. This is a perfect album to get hyped up for whats one of my personal favorite albums Get in Where You Fit In. Peace.

This is NOT Too Shorts BEST album, but it is GREAT. As stated in another review, I own every single Short Dawg album, and Get in where you Fit in is tough to not say is his best. I know a lot of people say Life is.. Too Short is his best, but that is number two. Just a solid Too Short album. I mean, if all you had were his 16 albums, you'd have one hell of a collection.

I'm giving this album 5 stars to show that I have more regard and compassion for Too Short than he seems to have for my gender.
Great CD, whats the deal with the last track? Mar 21, 2006
Excellent CD. To tell you the truth I picked up some game just listening to this CD :-). However, im just curious to ask Short what the *$@% is he thinking making a 12 minute track "something to ride to" if you cut that track down to 4 minutes and threw in 2 more good tracks like all the others this CD could of been his best. If you took off something to ride to it would be a 5 star no doubt. The track isn't even bad but 12 minutes is way too long plus there is a lot of talking. Solid CD would of been my favorite if it wasn't for that. It still ties with Short Dogs in the house and cocktales For every Too Short review check out my other reviews
