| Too Short "Gettin' It F/Parliament Funkadelic" |
 |
Born in Los Angeles, but an Oakland resident
by the age of 14, 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. After the release of Gettin' It
(Album Number Ten) in 1996, Too Short decided
to retire, his status assured as one of the
most successful solo rappers of the 1980s and
early '90s, although that decision would
prove short-lived.
