Too Short
Comment:
Years before N.W.A. brought the streets to the suburbs, Oakland’s very own Too $hort slapped the East Coast scene upside its head with his steely productions and syrupy flow. And with that, Cali’s bulletproof take on hardcore hip-hop had arrived, raising the bar sonically and lyrically. From the platinum-plated winning streak that began with 1988’s Life Is . . .Too $hort to such crucial rebirth records as Can't Stay Away and You Nasty, the ravenous rapper/dizzying beat conductor has delivered nearly 20 studio albums during his storied career, pushing some 12 million units along the way. The accompanying Essentials set makes sense of it all, and even tosses in some killer cameos to help tell the complete Too $hort story. All you need now is a stereo that can handle all those brutal basslines . . .
