We Say...
Long before the world heard Too $hort's breakthrough single "Freaky Tales," the man born Todd Shaw made a name for himself slinging homegrown cassettes in the Bay Area. As shown here, $hort's style hasn't changed much since he began. The music is uncomplicated: usually replayed funk hits by a studio band (or friends who could play keyboards, guitar and program a drum machine). Lyrically, $hort is not a tongue-twisting MC. He speaks straight to his audience; he's a compelling storyteller — and he can be pretty amusing. These cuts here are all about two things: general bragging and — as $hort calls them — beeotches. Nothing more, nothing less. Highlights from this early stable of cuts include the electro-tinged "From Here to New York," the off-kilter, strutting "Coke Dealers," and the humorous "Invasion of the Flat Bootie Bitches." If you're expecting intelligent social commentary, you're in the wrong place. But Too $hort's place in hip-hop history is undeniable.
