As a dude who grew up in the Bay Area and always listened to Bay Area rap, does anyone else feel that Too Short sucks?

[hellatall1991]

I always found Short to be boring and overrated.

 

[BIG CHUNK]

Short dawg is a legend

I'm a die hard Too Short fan...this is how I would break up his career:

Up to Getting It' - every album is a classic
You Nasty - Whats My Favourite Word : Not classic but still great Too Short

Chase The Cat - something starts to go wrong

Everything after - not very good at all, almost approaching gimmicky.

Been a too $hort fan since I heard get In where you fit in back in 94-95. Classic to me....Can’t stay away was shorts last solid album, that I remember

 

[TrEmEnDo InDo]

He gets outshined most of the time, but more so due to the steep mountain of game that Northern California produces.

I don’t regularly listen to anything by too short so maybe you’re on to something a little bit.

I still remember this documentary (can’t find on the net) it was about groupies/strippers/hos and this girl and her friends met too $hort and she was all disappointed and calling him boring and lame.

I guess sensitivity is what defines your generation? It's not disrespect to him, I just don't like his shit that much. Especially considering he's an Oakland rapper, there's so many guys who outshine the shit out of Too Short from Oakland.

JUst was slappin Gettin it and Get in Where you Fit in yesterday! That Way Too Real song never gets old!!

Legend.

Bruh too $hort is probably close to 50 years old right now. Are you talking RIGHT NOW or in shorts prime ? In the 90s there wasn’t a lot of rappers outshining him in Oakland, he’s not relevant to the rap scene NOW, but he was major factor in the 90s and 2000s.

Compare Too Short to E40, Both came out at around the same time (Short came out a few years before 40) but E40 still murders verses. I do like some Too Short songs, but even back in the day, the Luniz were better than Short, E40 was better, a lot Oakland/Bay Area rappers were way better than him, at least to me.

Spice 1 came out and changed things.

 

[Face-Me]

he's not an incredible rapper or breathtaking lyricist.....but he's a legendary artist with a ganga classics under his belt.

period.

Yea that songs is one of my favourite Short cuts of all time...it's the T double, some call me Short!!

" I'm from los angeles "
-Too Short


His old music was dope. But as with most all rappers he fell off and became terrible later in his career.

If you ask me there's no comparison, e-40 will gas short 10 times out of 10. Forty drops a lot of game in his rap & short raps about fucking and pimping. forty for sure has a more versatile flow /vocab.

Way Too Real song never gets old!!

Legend.

"Like a mack...I surprised her....dropped her ass off at Kaiser" - one of the best lines ever imo

I'd rather listen to a 9 minute Too $hort song from the 80's than most of what's played on the radio right now. I am old now though.

The dude who started the thread was still drinking milk from his mothers breast when everybody was bumpin “Get In Where You Fit In”.

 

[S.L.A.B]

He got a style of his own and charisma. You either like it or not. Im not a big fan of Snoop but I still get why people like him.

Snoop is a perfect example---> like Snoop, Too $hort is an ICON. A Bay area Legend.
