I'm a serious Too Short Fan!!!! His last album was a B- Album, but this album has a low amount of songs on it. I think that about 3-are pretty good, but the rest are either okay or bad. I give this album a D+. Bring back the old school Too Short with that California Touch to it along with 3-verses to each song.

Too $hort has been in the game for over twenty years, and I had a lot of respect for him when he first arrived on the scene. But sometime during the early nineties his lyrics had been over-sexualized, and that in itself has an acquired taste. He also got into the habit of retiring and then coming back a year or two later with a new album anyway. But there's nothing too exciting about Get Off the Stage.

The surprising thing, however, is that only two songs are ENTIRELY about sex: "I Like It" (which made me say the opposite, although someone named Dolla Will drops a nice verse) and the disgusting "Pull Them Panties Down". Short Dog also fails when he responds to haters, whether it be other men ("F.Y.O.U."; the title track) or gold-digging women that he wants to bang anyway ("Broke Bitch"). But the rest of the songs are pretty awful too. "Ishin' on `Em" makes no sense, the E-40 assisted "This My One" goes nowhere, and a bonus track from the Pack's EP, "Dum Ditty Dum", sounds just as bad now as it did the first time I heard it.

It's hard to believe that an album that's only 35 minutes in length could be this horrible. And I'm not surprised by all the raunchy lyrics, but the thing is, well, Too $hort is too old to still be making songs like that. If this is all he has left, then maybe he really NEEDS to get off the stage.

Relax guys...this is short dogs last album on jive. Its really not even a new album as there is only like 4 or 5 new songs...the rest are from other peoples albums or from too shorts mix tapes. His new label UP All Night will be his main label now. I think Jive will be just for distribution. Short dog is in the studio cookin up sum new ish so i'll wait to see what he brings then. No matter what though, Short Dog will always be a true west coast pioneer in rap!

Ciao!

The Oakland Mack is back again, with yet another average album, though it is probably his best since his 2000 release "You Nasty" and I probably should have gave it 4 stars, closer to 4 than to 3. This is the 14th solo album of $hort's I have. Every one that came out in 1995 or earlier gets 4.5 or 5 stars, his 1996 album got 3, then he "retired" in 1999 and 2000 he came back with nice 4.5 star albums, but every album from 2001 to present was just average (this being the best of his last 5), and he left his west coast funk (Ant Banks, Dangerous Crew, QDIII, himself to name a few of his old producers) sound for the down south crunk sound (bad move in my opinion). Short album here, with only 10 songs, half are good half are average Guests rap on 4 songs and do the hook on 2 others. Production is average and mostly handle dby peopel I never heard of, and the majority have the southern crunk sound. Traxamillion does 3 songs, Cooly C & Spec as well as DJ Kizzy Rock each do 2 songs, and Gennessee, Young L, and Duke G all do 1 song. I long for a new $hort Dog album with his 1980's and 1990's funk sound to it.

Im from the Yay Area, n got nothin but luv 4 all my california rappers! i was actually feelin this album a bit (it aint his greatest) but after i hit the last song i immediately check the tracking and seen it ended at 10 tracks i was kinda dissappointed cuz overall the album is short length and short n tracks..i hate when peeps like too short get overlooked cuz i seen sum radio toppers in there

Excellent. Amazon is the way to go for ordering over the internet. On time and professional.

Too Short has done it again. Awesome new cd. His last on Jive so only 10 songs. He has plenty of Westcoast artists on it. That's My One with E-40 is a banger to say the least.
