AMG (allmusic.com) says that Too Short was born in Los Angeles and moved to Oakland by the age of 14. I'm leaving this note because I don't have time for fact checking or rewriting at the moment.

Missing Album?

No mention of: Too Short - Freaky Tales The Saga Continues Part II (1988) Too Short - It's About Time Too Short - Dirty Rapps The Best Of Too Short (2006)

Guest Appearances?

Is this section necessary? It is mentioned earlier in the article who he has appeared with, and I don't think a list adds much value. The only way this could add value is if these are songs with their own unique entries -- none of which any of these are. I think this section should just be removed completely, it really doesn't add any value in my opinion. -Ameltzer 20:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

$hort made a guest appearance in a movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0179074/), which could be added somewhere66.60.28.218 11:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have some gripes here

First of all the earlier guy is right, Too Short was indeed born in LA and moved to Oakland at a young age. He talks about it in one of his videos, I'll try to find the source.

Second, Too $hort's biggest hit isn't "Freaky Tales", not even close!! His biggest commercial success BY FAR was "Don't Fight the Feeling". That song got a ton of radio play back in the day. Next up would probably be "Gettin It" which still gets play today occasionally, "Player Holiday" if you count that as a Too $hort song because it's a group deal, "Choosin", "In the Trunk", and a bunch of others. How can the author put "I Luv" on that list and not have the above songs??!?!?

That whole section needs to be redone.

  • You're right! redo it!


I disagree that Don't Fight The Feeling was his biggest commercial success. Radio play? What the heck radio stations do you listen to? By far his biggest hits were Life Is Too Short (tons of radio and MTV exposure) and The Ghetto. 67.170.10.225 03:11, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

does anybody no how to get too shorts earlier albums. ex. raw uncut and x rated and players

Too Short's porn videos??

Anyone have a link? I don't think he ever did porn.

He did release several videos to promote his albums, these are basically music videos with interviews. Certainly not porn.

Anyone have a source for the porn??? I really really doubt this is factual.

Currently, the date is listed as 1988, but I believe it was 1983. -Patstuarttalk|edits 21:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
