Too Short Biography

The rapper known as Too Short was born Todd Anthony Shaw in 1966. Too Short began rapping while still in high school, often as a way to entertain his friends and spend time with them. By the mid 1980’s, Too Short and friend Freddie B. had formed their own record label, which eventually became Up All Nite Records. Too Short released his own album, Life Is… Too Short, in 1989, and quickly established himself not only as a performer, but also a producer.

For the next two decades, Too Short worked in collaboration with some of the biggest names in rap, including The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac Shakur. He also released nearly fifteen additional albums, including Shorty The Pimp (1992), Cocktails (1995), Can’t Say Away (1999), You Nasty (2000), Chase the Cat (2001), Married to the Game (2003), Blow the Whistle (2006), and Still Blowin’ (2010). The albums spawned a number of chart-topping rap singles, including “The Ghetto,” “Short But Funky,” “I’m a Player,” “Money in the Ghetto,” “Getting’ It,” “More Freaky Tales,” “Invasion of the Flat Booty Bitches,” “2 Bitches,” “You nasty,” and “Shake that Monkey.”

In addition to his work as a rapper and producer, Too Short has also appeared in a number of films, including Menace II Society, and a number of adult films. Too Short continues to record and perform, however, having recently released the album No Trespassing in 2012.
