Hard to believe Too Short is still at it. Being from Northern California, you were raised on "Born to Mack" . From there he just kept going ,and going. I got this cd as a long time fan, and i like it! I dont know how old Short is ,but he can keep making albums and I will check them out! Thanks Amazon for the cheap price, and release day delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars better than what i thought March 8, 2012

By Kenyone L. Johnson

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I listened to the snippets on amazon before i purchased it, and i wasn't impressed. but i'm a fan, so i purchased anyway. when you really start listening, however, you hear nothing but straight truth about the world. and he brings it straight with no chaser and has the bay area local's backing him up. Really good album. Short hasn't lost a step in the game, pimpin or rapping! period. Go get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shorty The Pimp is Back At It Again. March 9, 2012

I have been a fan of Short Dog since the beginning, I honestly wasn't expecting this album to be as good as it it. But it definitely blew away my expectations.

The only track i'm not feelin' to much is "Hey (ft. Silk-E). All the other tracks are straight fire. Too Short Fans, East/3rd/South/West Coast Hip Hop Fans Will Dig This Album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Colaborative Effort...Not Bad February 29, 2012

By BigFatBlackLady

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Not a bad album, but Too Short really needs to step up and make a TRUE Too Short CD; namely, one he raps on by himself. It's a shame that the second half of his career has been reduced to "...featuring________" tracks. Do it by yourself, Todd, it would sound much better.

However, this disc isn't that bad. There's a few gems. If you liked "Gangsters and Strippers", you'll like this. Guitars, eerie sounding keyboards, and downright evil lyrics about pimping and hoeing...sounds like stripper/club music.

Buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 of 5 November 10, 2012

I understand why Too Short felt the need to post the No Trespassing sign. His world; a pimp's paradise of sorts, populated with plenty of fine females; is a place of attraction for low-lives like me. That's why I'm constantly checking for new Short albums. This is album number... I lost count. But it sounds about like I thought it would at this point in his post-retirement career; raunchy raps over funky beats.

Not all the beats are funky. Shut Up Nancy and Ba Boom Cha are easy throw-aways. And Short, a rapper sometimes lost in the guest vocals of both icons like Snoop and people you never heard of, seems to be on auto-pilot these days. But the album, which commits the unforgivably lazy blunder of including songs from the previous two, is consistently decent as far as this kind of ghetto sex life music goes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Solid Short Dog Release April 14, 2012

By Steve T

Format:Audio CD

This album isn't a straight classic like "Get in Where You Fit In" or even the "Blow The Whistle" album. Gone is the polished production of Lil Jon and Jazze Pha that made the Too Short albums in the mid-2000s sizzle. But this is a gritty, no-frills solid addition to Short Dog's catalog that should please every longtime fan. It's hard to argue with this record when you've got tracks like "I'ma Stop" with 50, Devin The Dude, and Twista, and a Nancy Grace diss track with Kokane. There's definitely some filler on this CD, but it's an indie release, and the good outways the mediocre.

I'd recommend this one for any Too Short/West Coast hip-hop fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars One to add to the collection May 2, 2012

By Derrick L. Price

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

This album started off kind of weak, but picked up as it went on. The best song on this album has to be with 50-Cent & Twista, but the crazy thing is when I was listening to this cut, Too $hort did the first verse and it sounded like he was still in the game for what I remember him for doing his prime days. He did not need any help on this song, as this one could have been another classic.

Overall, if you are a fan, this is a great album to add to your collection. Hopefully $hort will drop another album in 2014 and do this one from Oakland. (Hint-Ant Banks)It's time that he made a album with 12-great songs, instead of 3-good, 3-alright, 3-will do, and 3-terrible.
