Too $hort
After practically coining the term “biatch,” installing himself as the premier advocate of the pimp lifestyle, and appearing in at least one hardcore porn video, infamous Oakland rapper Too $hort isn’t exactly a model citizen—then again, that’s not what people listen to sex-addled, proto-gangsta rap to find. After establishing his credentials with 1988’sBorn To Mack, he helped craft the blueprint for West Coast rap, then retired briefly in the mid-’90s. Following the release of 2007’s Get Off The Stage, Too $hort’s recording studio equipment was reportedly seized to pay off a lawsuit stemming from a fatal 2008 car crash, but last year he returned with the critically acclaimed album, Still Blowin’.
