IMO. This was the last time he put out a great album. I just started listening to this and "Cocktales", and these 2 are my favorite albums by him. Don't get me wrong, all the albums before this are all classics, buy I enjoy these 2 the most. Anything after "Gettin' It", well, there were no more classics. "Can't Stay Away" was good, but nothing near any of the cds that came before. "Chase the Cat" was awful, couldn't stand that cd. The rest of the cds were ok, a couple of good songs here and there (except for "Get Off The Stage", that was unlistenable). I don't know, maybe I just miss some of that Ant Banks production, or the old Dangerous Crew period, but Short was my favorite rapper during this time period... now I barely listen to him. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

I agree that was his last album i really fucked wit like dat.I think he didnt retire cuz he didnt have the right kinda money to walk away from hiphop.He dont have hella side hustles like 50 and Jay-Z.Rap is all he got.Its a trip how no rapper has ever been able to retire in they prime tho.

IT WASN'T JUST ANT BANKS DOING PRODUCTION ON THOSE OLD TOO SHORT ALBUMS IT WAS PEE WEE ON KEYBOARDS AND SHORTY B ON THE BASS THAT'S WHY WHEN THE DANGEROUS CREW BROKE UP ANT BANKS BEATS WERE NEVER QUITE AS DOPE AS THEY WERE WHEN HE WAS WITH THE DANGEROUS CREW. AS FAR AS SHORT DUDE IS 42 AND STILL SPITS DOPER THAN ALOT OF THESE YOUNGSTAS CHECK HIS VERSE ON "PLAYA LIKE ME" ON KEAK'S NEW ALBUM. JIVE HAD SHORT'S LAST COUPLE OF ALBUMS SOUNDING REAL WATERED DOWN TO FIT IN WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT COMMERCIAL RAP OUT AND STILL GAVE HIM NO PROMOTION. SHORT COULD'VE SIGNED ANOTHER MAJOR DEAL LIKE 40 DID BUT HE CHOSE TO GO INDEPENDANT AND HE HASN'T RELEASED ANYTHING SINCE. HE'S PROBABLY TAKING HIS TIME TO CRAFT ANOTHER CLASSIC TOO SHORT ALBUM NOW THAT HE HAS FULL CREATIVE CONTROL AGAIN.

REMEMBER TOO SHORT WAS POPPIN BEFORE THE DANGEROUS CREW ANT BANKS WASN'T ALL HE HAD DONE WAS SOME MC ANT PRODUCTION AND "FUCKIN WIT DANK" FOR POOH-MAN.

i agree with the thread title, hes made some slaps since then but all his albums been weak since then but hes making money and only a damn foo' would quit an occupation where its there main source of income and most likely wouldnt make nearly as much in any other field
