I found the Too $hort CD in my father's collection, it will be 2 years now in July that my father passed away, and listening to this song after finding a CD of his made me very emotional, that he is in a good place, I miss you every day when I wake up Dad, I will love you forever 🤍
The Oakland funk sound from Too $hort is so underrated. His voice is smooth and the flow is just perfect. Plus, he’s a nice guy! I’ve met him a few times in Vegas and he’s always so nice to everyone. Too $hort and Snoop Dogg are the nicest musicians I’ve ever met.
Short Dog might talk about the pimp shit but he always has that song that inspires and this is an example. I wasn't a fan of the hyphy movement but I love that Oakland Funk. One of the greats in hip hop no matter where you're from.
My cousin played this song in his truck when I was 12 and I remember how much he loved this song. Now I’m 19 and playing this is his truck. Rip Ricardo I miss you bro❤️
Music was SO GOOD back then! NWA was making music when I was little! We had the debuts of Too $hort, Ice Cube,Dre, Eazy, Tupac, Snoop, Biggie, Puffy, J- the list goes on. I was in middle school when I heard 2 Live Crew, Me So H*rny, on the radio!! Lol YT made me sensor the song name but I listened on the radio, Lol That's crazy! And back then R & B was the best it's ever been~ We had Jodeci, Bel Biv Devoe, Bobby Brown, Whitney, Mariah, Michael Fking Jackson! I was really young when I saw Thriller debut on MTV and Madonna singing Like A Virgin. We had End Of The Road by Boys II Men as our prom theme! TLC, En Vogue and Salt n Pepa were played on the radio all the time! Such a great time in music! I graduated in 1996 and my boyfriend introduced me to Too $hort, our child can buy alcohol now 😭😂😭
It's the farewell song I play for my students at the end of the year. Of course, I have to play the Calvin commercials from McDonald's and explain who Johnnie Cochran is. 😂
I'm so glad I discovered this song its motivated me get mine get my life back together and stoped me from making excuses I hope this song helps others who r tryna get on their feet and make something of them self's 💯👌
Too short, hands down is at the top of the list of #1 of my favorite rappers in the industry. I'm a woman and I feel this shit, foreal. I LOVE YOU dawg.
This song shall be a motivational tool for brothers to get up off their asses and get it done. This song just got me motivated. I remember when this song first came out in 1996.
I don't forget where I came from. Listening to Too Short when I was a bad teenager and young adult. This song is motivating. Dropping some respect for that Short Dog
I got hella money now and this song helped me get here. I remember being broke as hell when I first heard this track and now when I hear it I think of everything I've been through. Everything he says is so in point. Fck. I'm tearin up right now just thinking of it all. Much respect $hort Dog 🙏
Rest in peace to my cousin Donald Ross who officially put me on to Too $hort in summer school back in the day. We listened to this album EVERYDAY on the way to school
@swike78 I don't know how old you are, but I grew up on too short and the dangerous crew, and others like e-40, Rappin' 4 Tay, Mac mall, way too many to name... But getting back to what you said, that this needs hella more views, Too Short was still able to go platinum and gold without selling records on the east. He got no radio play in NYC or the East coast. Not many Cali rappers were hesrd east of Texas. The East coast knew they were in trouble when NWA came out, and then there was an explosion of California rappers that were storytelling, with incredible beats, and if we're going to be perfectly honest, NYC was jealous. Too Short was dropping dope albums at the same time that the chronic was coming out, doggy style from Snoop, Death Row were heavyweights... California had the hip hop game on lock, all while getting no airplay on the east. It used to drive me crazy whenever KMEL, or power, wild 97.7 would play music from New York artists, after they blatantly showed us no love whatsoever. California has a massive population, so they only needed a few surrounding states to make their presence known and then eventually worldwide. I don't think New York has ever recovered. A couple of good albums here and there from several artists but California changed the game
I don’t think people in the us realize what this mans reach was and still is. Short dogg masters the art of digestable slow flows. Speaking a universal language. Well respected accross te whole world. One love from Amsterdam
Sick beat anyone who grew up in the bay Area and is from Oaktown what's up from your Bavarian Nordic homie. Too Short was one of the more underrated rappers I think and Gettin' it is a classic. Who is still listening in 2019?
To me it's crazy that one of my least favorite rappers has one of my favorite songs of all time, a classic is a classic, he knew he had to bring it when he got this beat, and that hook is just incredibly good

My dad recently played this song in the car and I've realized that rap back then was way better than modern day rap. (My dad is 43 I'm 13)

Out of all the rap songs in the world, a Too $hort song is what made you come to that realization...
The beats from the 80s n 90s r crazy it's all pfunk influenced I'm your dad's age the rappers of today got nothing on the OGs

No.doubt Playboy I grew up.2dis ryt here
DICK LONG it's your life, don't be stupid though.
Put that aside, it's about survival and hustling out in the jungle son! Anyday could be the last
Off top
Hyphy wasn't my thing either. I don't know if short put out any hyphy songs but most of his out of retirement songs are not my favorite.
2024 - and this still my jam! My favorite song by Too $hort 💯💯💯
shout out to bret for bringing it to him attention🫡
our favorite song lol
Fuckin classic. This is what music was about when it was still music.
90s rap was just fire
Yes it was nothing will be like it again ever I miss it

This was 22 years ago and this was Short's RETIREMENT album. But yet he's still making hits in 2018. Craziness
Yes my dude,straight facts
Hes still touring in cali
shit cuz, 2020 still listen in Russia
I was in 8th grade. I very vividly remember the rap city interview on bet he did with big lez... that house he had in Atlanta with the bowling alley
Damn I remember that interview also, I was like a soph when Interview came out.
Did album in 10 days or something like that
had this song on repeat the entire summer of '96
And i in 2020 working all day listen this funky sounds
wish i was old enough to enjoy all the gems from the 90's early 2000s

Too $hort 👑
Album #10 baby!! 1995 my senior year in high school. Been listening to Todd since 1989 and thought this was a fitting bookend to his career...
When Hip Hop Was Dope
Very much
Yup. Agree
Too short 🎉
Me encanta esta canción 🥺❣️
Mano, essa música é foda pprt 🇧🇷🔥
Album n.10 was his best, no doubt, and this track is pure dope. I love Short Dog slow beat and fat bass
I think Get in Where You Fit in is his best, followed by Cocktails, and Shorty the Pimp. Love Em all tho
Me and my father in law Rick Thatcher bumping since 2010 after I became family ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This song and Freaky Tales are my 2 favorites from Too Short. I will never stop jamming those 2 songs.
dangerous crew and just another day had amazing flow as well and incredible beats
Is there Ice T talking at 2:06 ?
Yes it is
Still here!
2021 & still blasting this in my mornings✊🏼
