Gangsta Love - Feb 10/05 - Plush Nightclub
Silverwaters in asscociation with Gold Seal Productions proudly brings to you the first installment of our yearly Valentines Day Massacre:
Born Todd Shaw on April 28, 1966, Short grew up in LA's South Central; soon after his family moved to Oakland in the early '80s, he began selling tapes out of the back of his car. Too Short was the first West Coast rap star, recording three albums on his own before he made his major-label debut with 1988's gold album Born to Mack; his next four all went platinum. Anticipating much of the later gangsta phenomenon, he restricted his lyrical themes to tales of sexual prowess and physical violence, with the occasional social-message track to mix things up. The immense success of Too Short during 1988-1989 made him much more viable for radio airplay, and "The Ghetto" -- from 1990's Short Dog's in the House, made number 12 on the R&B charts, even enjoying a brief stay just outside the pop Top 40. He continued his hit track record with 1992's Shorty the Pimp and 1993's Get in Where You Fit In, both of which went platinum. By the time of 1995's Cocktails, however, Too Short began to be drowned out by a glut of similar-sounding West Coasters, and though Gettin' It (Album Number Ten) became his fifth platinum album, by late 1996, he decided to retire. Just three years later, he returned with the aptly titled Can't Stay Away, which debuted in the Top Ten and went gold. His status proved himself as one of the most successful solo rappers of the 1980s and early '90s, although that decision would be short-lived. Short would go on to release “You Nasty” in 2000, “Chase the Cat” in 2001, “Whats my favourite word” in 2002 and finally “Its about Time” in 2003. Too Shorts career would be written into the history books as one of the most successful of all time. All yall pimps and ho’s better have their asses stageside cause this is gonna be one valentines massacre that you won’t wanna miss!
