Too Short – Life Is Too Short LP For Cheap

A pioneer of hardcore rap music, one can t talk about the West Coast hip-hop scene without mentioning Todd Anthony Shaw, better known by the stage name Too $hort. A veteran of the genre, Too $hort s discography is one filled with tracks about pimping, drug use, promiscuity, and unapologetically explicit language. His 1985 record Don t Stop Rappin  is notoriously one of the first to use the word bitch on a track. He s released nearly 20 albums over the course of his 35-year career, and collaborated with artists as varied as Jay-Z, UGK, 50 Cent, and Lil Jon…he s even been one of the few musicians to work with both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., in the middle of their infamous feud.
