Lately as an adult, it has occurred to me that Too $hort was and is entirely underrated. Think of any other artist with that distinct of a delivery and that signature set of lyrics encompassing not much more than hoes, stereo systems, weed, and how great pimpin in oakland is. You can't. this guy has always been one of a kind.
Too $hort has epitomized the "self-generating success through excessive arrogance and self-image" model of hip hop that started in the early 80s and continues to this day. and he's been doing it longer than anyone.
Some of these old clips make me nostalgic for growing up in california in the 80s.
as soon as i get a car and a system set up again i full plan on bumping healthy servings of too $hort, just like i did in the 90s when i was 16.
and you gotta see that hyphy shit on blow the whistle:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUVfDvIP2EQ
