We been knowing that Too Short was from Los Angeles,because his Dad is from Los Angeles And they lived off of 80th & Vermont when we was Young we Never Never walked Down 80th Street 😂 this was like 1979-80 come to find out All Short’s Dad & Mom’s People are from the same Place as my Squad Mississippi & Louisiana I was introduced by a Friend that lived on 80th 😂 My Grandfather lived on the Corner on Vermont! They was Claiming 80th Crips until the Hoover’s pressed them to Convert to 83 Hoover! Monster Cody used to kick it on 81st Street between Vermont & Hoover @ the Weed Spot
This mans flow and delivery was unlike any other at the time. You couldn't go outside without hearing somebody bumping Too Short! His beats hit harder than anybody at the time!
@@gabrielzazueta2218who are you? A Hater a nobody bet he has way more accomplished things in life than you!And more 🤑💰 money too! So step off ya miserable weirdo.
Short lived in Atlanta as a kid as well in the 70's. His parents were accountants. He also was involved in a car accident in which the person he hit passed away. He talks all about this on his Unsung documentary
I remember back in the late 90’s when short decided to move to Atlanta. I remember a lot of the Bay Area artists talked real bad about Short, I believe a few of them made dis tracks about him or disrespected his name in certain songs…I’m glad Short & the Bay were able to let that shyt go
It was a lot of cats making that move around that time. Stuff was still cheap in the ATL and it was a lot of connections between there and the town. And all them rounds of indictments had everything in chaos for a minute on the streets. The diss tracks was more about trying to make it seem like something it wasn't for record clout. Wasn't no real issues with people and Short. More a issue of knowing too many people which can get you caught up in the middle of stuff. And it was a lot of stuff jumping off 94 through 96.
@@opieg7333 I remember that time just because I came up listening to Bay Area artists & all the independents from the South & Midwest too. I don’t remember what song or album it was but I believe Yuk Mouth was the first Bay Area artist I heard taking shots at Short & just remember me thinking oh…this shyt serious
Growing up in the 80’s & 90’s around all this ish is crazy looking back … damn I miss my childhood and the ppl that were living back then… my big cousin ANDREW (born with Twin sister still living) was a Big Tyme Drug Dealer who was set up and robbed when I was like 10-13 years old … the family went to the bay for his service. Rest well cuzzo 🙏🏽
E-40 B-Legit and Too short came to Alaska and did a show some years ago and me and my boy went to the after party. 40 and Legit was cool but Short was acting shady as fucc didn't even wanna fucc with his fans. I got a pic with 40 and Legit so shout out to them 2 for keeping it real!
This gonna sound weird, but that is dude's personality, for a minute. B-la and 40 will talk anyone head off. Short be sitting in corners and avoiding the crowd unless he performing.
I’m curious to know what that beef cameo and too hurt is about in that song he had in that diss called that’s why!! Hope they had that in his movie he’s working on about his life!
I heard the songs from born to mack when I was in the 2nd grade in 1985. I use to steal my older siblings tape and sneak and listen to it in the classroom on their audio book tape recorder. It had to have been underground at that time.
Most of the tracks people think of had been in circulation for a year or two before the album officially dropped. A couple was on the skull and cross bones tape. And I think there was a early single of Freakytales out there with a slightly different beat and something else on the B-side from the album. 87 was like the official units sent to stores year, but it was probably around 86 when the out the trunk and local shop copies started popping up and the DJ pool copies passed out.
Couldn’t be a better player is one of my all time favorite tracks , get in where you fit in was always in the deck booming in my house in the 90s as well . Short one of the best to ever do it …… period !!! Fire video bruh !!!
Sir Too Short didn't have music out in 83!, An don't stop rapping didn't come out till the summer of 86!, I know cause i bought the record in the first 3 days of it's release!, Freddy Benz an short, was cracking in the summer of 85!, An that's also when Short came with the original cusswords, over the Whodini friend's beat, an made the whole west coast lose they mind's!, When he put that slapper out!, But besides that, good job mayne!!!
He wasn’t off the porch until he came in Oakland what about that don’t y’all get there’s plenty of rappers that were born in other places and then move somewhere and get it turned out because they moved to a real hood if he wasn’t off the porch when he was living in LA why would he ever say so
Makes sense and stop trying to claim all are legends LA so dam weak you seen the killing stats in Oakland it’s small city probably as big a Compton the whole city and the murder rate is double Triple of Compton or any or y’all hardest city from la
@@jakethesk8roberts763true bro I ain’t even kno he was born in LA till this video😂 but Oakland put him on game n his music is great, wish he woulda stayed in LA so we could have another great west coast rapper from LA.

Born to mack originally released in 1985 if I'm not mistaken
Born to Mack was released in 1987 the same that I graduated from High School.

You right, it was in 87, recorded in S.F. at Different Fur studios@@brianmitchell8479
