"We gonna kick it like this on the last album" - Too $hort on "Gettin' It" (1996)

[Mac Casper]

The man already had 10 albums by 1996 so hats off to him, a true legend . . but yo how you gonna commit those words to the intro of one of the best songs of your career



Also how many years did it take before rappers realized they shouldn't be saying the current year in their song? Automatically puts an expiration on the relevance, music is timeless - don't stamp a time on it

I think Short Dog's style played out by '96... I mean he'd been in the game 10+ years and hardly evolved in the shyt he talked about on his records. He should have made more records like City of Dope, I Want to Be Free, The Ghetto, It's Your Life. Just to keep things fresh.



Funky as hell though
