This is the strongest overall album I have heard from Too $hort. The production is by far the funkiest of all the albums, and this album was dropped during a period when short was going from strength to strength. It doesn't suffer from too many guest appearances, as many of his later efforts do.

"Money in the Ghetto" is an instant classic, with it's sample of "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool and the Gang and Short's raps about getting over. Followed by "B***job Betty" A funky Rap
from way back in the day, over a real tight beat. "Another Day" has some real deap base and a differnt sound for $hort - somewhat refreshing.

"Gotta Get Some Loving" is one of my favorite Too $hort tracks, with a cool beat and $hort rapping about how he can't get no loving. This is a cool song that I can listen to over and over again, much like "Ain't nothin' but a word" for those that know it.

Get in where you fit in is an 8 minute plus opus, and another standout Too $hort track.

The only song I don't much like is "Oakland Style". But it's at the end, so I can just skip it.

In short by this, Life is Too $hort, You Nasty, and Short Dog's in Tha House - to hear $hort at his best.

Too Short is the Ultimate PIMP - If you like this album check out Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1 - from his homie Devin the Dude another 5 Stars

I have purchased EVERY Too Short album. I have listened to all of them many many times. People who know me know that I am not a traditional rap hip-hop fan. Yes I love Rap and Hip Hop, but I don't like someone just cause someone else does, and some of the rappers that people think are the greatest aren't. Clue, my top ten is not what everyone else seems to think is the top ten. Too Short is my number one for many reasons; length of career, quality of music, what he has done, etc etc. What HASN'T Too Short done. This is my favorite because NONE of the songs get tiring or boring. I have gotten people who listen to metal and old stuff to like this album. His beats and samples are used to perfection, and people will be sampling his stuff once he is done. Every song gets a 5. You can't rate something with threes and fours and have it a five for the album. So if you want a good party album with quality sound and feel to it, buy this album.

In a day and age where it seems like any rapper can grab the spotlight for 15 minutes of fame, Too Short is an anomaly. With virtually no radio or MTV play, he has consistently put out successful albums, regularly reaching platinum status. "Get in Where You Fit In", Short's 8th record, easily rates as one of the best rap/hip-hop albums of the 90's, and is considered by most to already be a classic.
Ant Banks teamed up with Short to produce the album, and the legendary team made the "Oakland Funk" style a bona-fide sound. Eliminating most of the phrase-sampled loops from the album's beats, they instead focused on live instruments and programmed drums, resulting in a sound that is clear and original. LA producer QDIII provides a masterpiece of a beat as well, on the song "Just Another Day".
Too Short may not be the most lyrically gifted rapper out there, but at least he knows his identity. He includes many trademark "dirty" raps, and sticks to familiar ground with the album's content, but--that is what he does best.
The real strength of the album lies in its supporting characters. This album was produced in 1993, at a time when the Bay Area Dangerous Crew was at its strongest. Short is backed up by some of the best Oakland and San Francisco rappers, including Spice 1, Goldy, Father Dom, Rappin' Ron, Ant Diddly Dog, and others. The distinctive styles of these rappers when paired with the style-defining beats combine to make Get In Where You fit in not only Too Short's best album, but the epitome of the Northern California rap sound.

15 years after this album came out and I am still enjoying this release. The first time I heard the lyrics of I'm a player, I was in high school and it took me 2 days to learn the lyrics. That's how much I was listening to this album. The beats are dope and too short's lazy flow is right on point. This album is a classic. It is probably my favorite too short album next to Life is.....too short and cocktails. Definitely a must for your collection.

I have always been a fan of todd shaws music since i was a teen back in the late 80's onto today, i really havent gotten into any other rappers seriously, my wife hates the fact that i still like too short thinking of his degridation of women but i dont like him for that so much as his music is true to his heart his beats and rythem are unique and u dont find that with these new rappers who are just about the money

What I like about $hort Dog is that throughout all of his material and extensive career in rap he remains REAL. Keepin it real now-a-days is a cliche, but $hort always remained true to the music he makes. Buying every Too $hort LP would be a library in its own. (Although, I do recommend doing so.) If you haven't picked up anything from him yet, you have to buy this record. Hands down my favorite release from him.

Classic Short CD. Not one of my favorites but its defenitly worth having. Great tracks are blowjo_ betty, all my bitches are gone, get in where you fit in, i'm a player. You can't compare it to Shorty The Pimp his previous album with is one of my favorites. The album really talks about whats it's called Get in where you fit in. You belong where your supposed to be. Everyone knows where Too Short wants to be up in. Beeyatch! For every Too Short review check out my other reviews

Although Too Short will only rap about two or three topics, he somehow makes each album a different and original creation. This album in particular features some very amusing tracks, particularly tracks 1-4, 6, 7, 10. Although the album ends with a couple of "filler" tracks, it is still pretty cohesive. A great album for any Short fan.

This is old school at it's best, with the best on the mic. Funky, tight beats make this one a must have for any Short fan. Pick it up! You will not be dissapointed with this one!
