Since 1982, Too $hort actively produced and released LPs such as ‘Don’t Stop Rappin’, ‘Players’ and ‘Raw, Uncut and X-Rated’, before gaining widespread recognition and an RIAA Gold certification, along with a chart-spot of no. 50 in the US R&B listings, with ‘Born to Mack’. Too $hort’s initial success continued as the explicit rapper achieved numerous accolades throughout the 1990s. The albums ‘Get in Where You Fit In’, ‘Cocktails’ and ‘Gettin’ It (Album Number Ten)’ all peaked at the top of the US R&B charts and received an RIAA Platinum rating, whilst also charting in the top 10 of the US Albums chart. Between 1996-2000, Too $hort achieved five top 10 positions in the US Rap chart with singles such as ‘More Freaky Tales’ and ‘2 Bitches’.
Too $hort continued to release records through the 2000s and 2010s; most notably, his album ‘Blow the Whistle’ peaked at no. 14 on the US Billboard 200. He encountered great success when featuring on tracks with other music artists too; for instance, he rapped on Kelis’s ‘Bossy’ in 2006 which peaked at no. 16 on the US Singles Chart, and he partook on Chris Brown’s ‘Loyal’ which peaked at number nine in 2014.
Too $hort is often compared to E-40, Ant Banks and Mistah F.A.B, and the Californian-born lyricist performed at prestigious settings such as iTunes Festival and Coachella. Too $hort’s talents have also lead him further afield; he played the role of Lew-Loc in the film Menace II Society and voiced the character Fillyacup on the animated sitcom The Siccness Network between 2000-2001, whilst he has also been a mentor at Youth Uprising, an organization serving at-risk youths.
As such a mainstay in the hip-hop scene, Too $hort worked alongside artists such as Twista, Snoop Dogg and Jagged Edge, and is regarded as a true pioneer of the West Coast movement.

Watching a DJ who is multi-talented and can perform self written lyrics, play multiple instruments, and DJ is something very rare. The performance that DJ Quik gave was one like I’d never seen before. He opened the set behind decks, and blasted out a couple of remixes, and some of his own mixes, before moving downstage to the mictophone setup.
He picked up the microphone and opened his vocal set with Pitch In on a Party, which had everyone singing along and dancing straight away. The band behind him were tight, and playing his complex riffs with ease and skill. He played several tracks form both The Book of David, and The Midnight Life, which went down really well. In a live performance, it’s easier to discern the lyrics that the artist is singing, especially being as close as I was to the front. For me, this made the concert even more exciting, enabling me to engage with Quik’s material more easily.
The talent that he showcased was incredible, switching from complicated rhythmic vocals, to the synth , and keys, and occasionally revisiting the turn tables. He was also great at getting the audience going and enthusiastic. He was encouraging everyone to sing along, and even held the microphone out occasionally. It was an epic evening, and I’d love to see him again.
