Too $hort
Todd Anthony Shaw, better known by his stage name Too Short, is an American rapper. A pioneer of West Coast hip-hop, Shaw was among the first acts to receive recognition in the genre during the late 1980s. His lyrics were often based on pimping and promiscuity, but also drug culture and street survival; exemplified respectively in his most popular singles "Blow the Whistle" and "The Ghetto." He is one of few acts to have worked with both Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. during the heights of their respective careers. Shaw began recording in 1983, and cultivated a regional following with three independent projects tailored for his native Oakland. His fourth album, Born to Mack sold an estimated 50,000 units from Shaw's car trunk, leading to a commercial re-issue by Jive Records the following year. His fifth album, Life Is... Too Short, received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America and became his first entry on the Billboard 200. His sixth album, Short Dog's In The House, peaked at number 20 on the chart and spawned the single "The Ghetto," which became his first and highest-charting entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.
