I think Life Is... is his best album.
And you can't listen to any of his albums on computer speakers.

MIami Beach on the check-in.
i collect Too $hort albums on vinyl and i have been a fan for about eighteen years so i will weigh in on this one.
last night my girl and i had her sister and her husband visting and we were drinking beer and playing trivial pursuit (yeah, i'm corny, so what) and i said "baby please put on a record" and she picked "life is..." and that LP is probably his most cohesive to listen to all the way through. it also has a lot of his sickest songs and probably the best old school "riding" flow. when i was young i played "get in where you fit in" a lot but outside of a few tracks (especially "i'm a player", "money in the ghetto" [which basically could just be a sample] and the intro which is hard as fukk but has the same beat as a song on "life is...") it isn't that great. i respect that short has live musicians on a lot of his stuff but that band is shytty and sounds like amateur hour. the production isn't great either.
the DJ eleven/matthew afrika too $hort mixtape which is free to download is better than any of his albums. after "cocktails" i completely lost interest in any of his new records but i did like the song "shake that monkey" when i heard the remix over the beastie boys' "brass monkey". i wish i could find an uncensored version of THAT.
i am a little drunk. WHOOPS.

It does flow very well. I really like the simple lyrics and concepts backed by heavy bass which is why I said you can't listen to it on computer speakers. Just doesn't do his style and the sound of the album justice.

Damn, if you think Cocktails is fire, wait till you hear Get In Where You Fit In and Shorty The Pimp.
Get in where you fit in is among the most vicious diss records in the history of rap.
And it introduced us to what should have been the next great rap duos in Bad NFluenz.
