Concert Fri May 23 2008
$hort Dog's in the house.
Credited as the West Coast's first rap success by allmusic, Too Short started out indie, had some popular singles, and has now settled into his own "mack/playa" sensibility. Going from selling albums out of the trunk to celebrating 20 years as a recording artist at a major label is quite a leap.
If you're a Too $hort fan, then you've known this was coming for a while and I'm not teling you anything new. You've probably also responded alreday. If this is the first you've heard of him, watch the two videos to his hits that gained some mainstream attention and don't bother RSVPing. Too $hort isn't for everyone, and I don't think he's making new fans at this point. It may be good people-watching, and the slow-flow funk Short Dog delivers may inspire you to move your ass.
As part of Scion's ongoing "RSVP and get in for free!" concert series, Too Short will be at the Metro this Tuesday. Doors at 9; show at 10. RSVP here.

God, I hated two-short. Never was a big fan of the gangsta genre, but his unwavering A-B rhyme scheme for every cut was unbearable.
