Too $hort - No Trespassing

ha ha ha Oh man, Too $hort! I love this dude! Ever since getting turned onto his stuff from his seminal 1987 Born To Mack record, I always keep an ear cocked to what he's spitting out. He's one smooth motherfucker, that's for sure. Straight up Pimp. His move to Atlanta and embracing that whole 'Dirty South' sound was a bit weak, but with the resurgence of the Oakland rap scene, it seems Too $hort is now back to embracing his old school sound of booming 808's, dirty raps about nasty things, crazy ass collaborations and smooth as fuck lyrical flowing. His latest release No Trespassing has all that and more. It's really a great release, an easy listen for us long time fans, and fresh enough to appeal to the youngsters who might not know who the Hell Too $hort is. Perish the thought, I know. What The Fuck, Porno Bitch, and Playa Fo' Life, all classic stuff, collaborations with people like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, E-40, Richie Rich and Silk-E are fucking great, and every song on here sounds like something you'd hear in a strip club! LOL Too $hort has been in the rap game for more than 25 years, and with this, his 20th release, he shows he's just as Strong and Fresh as he's ever been, and that's saying something. Excellent release from Dangerous Records.
