Too $hort – The Pimp Tape

West coast rap legend and hip-hop icon Too $hort released his twentieth studio album The Pimp Tape via Dangerous Music/EMPIRE. The 20-track project includes his recent singles “Ain’t My Girlfriend” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Joyner Lucas & Jeremih, “Go $hort Dog,” and most recently “Only Dimes” featuring G-Eazy and The-Dream. The album also boasts features from DJ Khaled, ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz and T.I. as well as fellow NorCal natives E-40 and Mozzy.

The Pimp Tape marks Too $hort’s three decades in the game, highlighting his fabled career and undeniable legacy in addition to bridging the gap between hip-hop generations, paying homage to other legends such as Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Jay-Z, Jazze Pha, Jermaine Dupri, and Lil Kim, among others. The pioneering godfather of West Coast hip-hop built his long-lasting success from the ground up, becoming the first rapper from Oakland, California to receive a platinum plaque, which has now gone 6x platinum and 4x gold.

To commemorate his 20-album milestone, Too $hort hosted listening experiences at Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in New York City and at Warwick Hollywood in Los Angeles. Last night’s LA event was hosted by YesJulz with sounds by Big Von and DJ Jadaboo; Actor and comedian Craig Robinson, superstar artist Swae Lee and rappers Nef The Pharaoh and Diggy Simmons were in attendance. See the event photos HERE. Earlier this week, the West Coast rap pioneer also dropped 3 Decades of Game, a 60-minute documentary (which he executive produced) about his 30-year music career. The film was directed by Maxwell Benson and features interviews and performances from Too $hort, Wayne Shaw, Raphael Saadiq, E-40, Mistah F.A.B. and Richie Rich. Watch the documentary HERE.
