Who inspired the 75 Girls albums? Don't Stop Rappin, Players, and Raw Uncut and X-rated. Those covers capture the time and pioneering era of West Coast Hip-hop.

The legend! Salute from NY and NC

My dad gave me Shorty The pimp...and later on when I turned 14 I started rapping all because of Too Short...so from 1996 to 2008 I released 80 albums and sold worldwide...now after a 10 year break I'm coming back with a new album...I really look up to Uncle Short and no one in this new generation can ever hope to make good music like his albums!

Too short was a force for me in the early 90's. Yo, big thanks Sir Too Short. Man, I bought all your cd's from LIFE'S TOO SHORT ON! THANKS AGAIN!!!!@ SOMETHING TO DRIVE TOO!!!!!

Love you to short, don’t ever stop

I have the "Cocktails and Getting It" albums on my phone right now in 2018, those were his last 2 classic albums

Too short has a great library. After getting it he has more new school joints which is great to me, he evolved with hip hop and fans get off the stage shines bright to me with his new school funk and I'm glad he changed it up a bit.

Born to Mack and Short Dog's in the House were my favorite covers

Look kids , a Legend...

Real intelligent dude

I like all too short albums

Ol skool Too Short✌️💜 flow stay cold👻

Back in 1988 as a white guy with a diverse music range a fellow brother co-worker hooked me up to Life is Too Short and over the years I had to replace the cassette twice due to playing the hell out of it over and over. Even at 57 I still say it is one of the best Too Short and for that matter of all rap albums of all time IMO.

Consistent

One of my top picks for rappers y'all. Pac and Biggie are gone but we still have a living legend with $hort. As a matter of fact, I'm probably one of the few who will put him over those two because of his love for hip hop, his consistency, his understated intelligence, and his uncompromising/unapologetic approach since DAY ONE.

Love short.

Too Short needs to do a podcast

Although, I certainly liked this video, the title is a little misleading. Short didn't really explain where he got the ideas for each cover or the meaning behind them all. He mostly talked about the albums and why he liked them. LOL! 3.5/5

Legend , godfather, super OG

I always thought Too Short didn't care anymore after he retired. Now I'm convinced of it. Can't remember nothing after Album number 10 (His last good album). His rap style has changed, his voice is cracks and he flow just not smooth. I'm not going mention beat and producer choices. The feel of Oakland left the music. No shouting out different crews from the turf no more. He sounds like it's just a job and a check to him. I'm not mad I'm just convinced he doesn't really care anymore. Don't Stop Rappin all the way to the Gettin' it album are the only "real" Too Short albums.

Sea Pea All that funk started to play out or everything had been sampled to death.Thats one reason the west coast had kinda fell off at the time bcuz most of the sound was gfunk.DJ Quik still around bcuz he can make music from scratch and don't need to rely on samples thats why he's one of the best.Plus for the people who still love funk he'll always have an audience

Get in where you fit in. Top.

Not snoop, sorry. Snoop’s overrated

Too $hort is just as Hip Hop as Rakim. It's not just about making the most complex lyrics or using double entendres and internal rhyme schemes. If you can have a relatively basic flow and simple structure, but make it sound fresh and dope as fuck, and you do the shit for over 5 decades!? You are the epitome of Hip Hop. As far as the album covers... Uncle Snoop should be cutting the lil homie a check for heavily influencing that Doggy Style album cover. Also, you could say Get In Where You Fit In influenced that iconic Death Row pic of them in all black with the platinum chains on. Born To Mack symbolizes $hort to a T. Simple, but dope as fuck. The Life Is Too $hort album cover will always be my favorite since it was my first $hort album and I just love that "Born On Stage, Died On Wax" engraving. Shorty The Pimp and Cocktails are both iconic as well.
