Best Too $hort Album

"This is $hort Dog's best album, without doubt. All his albums are classic, but this one sits on the top. This is old skool rap at its best, with the beats and his lyrics at top notch. My favorite songs are CussWords, I Ain't Trippin', Pimp The Ho, and Don't Fight The Feelin'. CussWords goes for almost 8 minutes and not at one point in the song do u get sick of it! Amazing lyrics and the beat is just off the chain. I Ain't Trippin' has one of my favorite beats, just classic. This album is just completely dope, and proves he is the REAL PIMP! Not these wanna-be fakers such as 50 CENT. 50 cent aint no pimp, but its obvious his idol was $hort Dog. Get this album if u havent already, and if u into modern commercial crap, then u should pick this up too, and see who the real pimp is."

$hort Dog's first platinum album

"This is Too $hort's second album on Jive Records. It was released in 1988 and it was right away a huge success - in fact it was the first Bay Area rap album to sell a million copies (it sold more than a million, like many of Too Short's later albums). It is a real rap classic with Too $hort once again spitting nothing but mack game all over the album. Ask any true West Coast rap fan about songs like "I Ain't Trippin'", the classic cut "Don't Fight the Feeling", the hard hitting "Cusswords" or the pimp anthem "Pimp tha Hoe" and you'll see what I mean. The album is timeless. Never mind it's from about 13 years ago - it's tight every time I listen to it. Good music never really gets old. The album was way ahead of it's time. In the late 80's no other rapper was talkin' about pimpin' (unlike these days, where any sucka wanna-be playa claims he's a pimp), and musically the album impresses too. It's a must-have, period."

Classic.

"They are still playing this and they probably will be 10 years down the line. After people listen to all the X's, the kid's, the busta's and all those thousands of CDs from the South, they usually come back to Too $hort, 'cause he was the first and is the best of them all...I mean, playa for playa. For mine, "Don't Fight The Feelin'" beats anything that's coming outta Puffy's present day camp."
