Too Short is a rapper and producer from LA that became famous for being a pioneer in the West Coast hip-hop scene during the 80s. His lyrics are often based on pimping, promiscuity, drug culture, and street survival. He recorded one of the first hip-hop tracks to use the word "bitch" and collaborated with people like Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Diddy, Lil' John, and more. These days, Too Short runs his own record label "Up All Nite Records" and is a mentor at Youth UpRising, a group serving at-risk youths.
