The stage name Too Short is a bit of an oxymoron for a rapper who launched his career in the early 1980s and continues to impress audiences with songs like "The Ghetto" and "Blow the Whistle." One of the major pioneers of West Coast rap, Too Short has maintained a productive career for over three decades. The legendary emcee performs infrequently, yet tickets to his shows are a hot commodity as fans line up to hear his extensive musical works that span 19 albums, 10 of which have earned gold or platinum status. No tour has been announced for 2014, although Too Short is expected to perform a concert or two over the course of the year. Too Short re-emerged in 2006 with "Blow the Whistle," peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard 200, his highest selling and most critically acclaimed album in years. He followed up with "Get Off The Stage" (2007), "Still Blowin'" (2010) and "No Trespassing" (2012). Along with "Still Blowin'" and "No Trespassing," Too Short has performed a variety of guest tracks for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, 50 Cent, Lil' Jon, Scarface and Wiz Khalifia. He is also featured on Lady Gaga's track "Jewels and Drugs" alongside T.I. and Twista.
Too Short was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area and started performing in the early '80s with friend Freddy B. He released his first studio album, "Born to Mack," in 1987. Too Short helped build the West Coast scene and was instrumental in the work of fellow California rappers Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. He also collaborated with The Notorious B.I.G. and Scarface. Too Short continued to build his rap empire throughout the 1990s and 2000s and was honored by VH1 as a Hip-Hop Legend.
The show started late. There could have been an opening act. The DJ was good. I enjoyed Too Short, but he talked entirely too much. His whole family reunion should have waited until after the show.
Show tirned into a function, just bringing people on stage for no real reason, dj really wasnt in tune with much. Was a real disappointment and probably wouldnt consider another too short show by himself. Came for the music and we got 25 minutes of him just talking to people.
I’ve loved Too $hort since 1988. So I was ecstatic to finally get a chance to see him live especially at my favorite venue. The show began almost 45 minutes late. Then unfortunately, the second half of the remaining time was focused either on his new found family member in the audience or the birthday chicks onstage. After he finally moved on, there was only time for one last song. These kind of performances don’t usually take place in that kind of venue but usually a club instead so that everyone knows what to expect. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
I've been to a few Too Short concerts, but this is the first time he's performed my favorite song; "CUSSWORDS"!!! I enjoyed B-Legit's performance as well!! I got to see Scarface perform "Mary"while smoking a joint!! I got my money's worth!!!
I have been to tons of too short concerts and I’ve loved every single one. This was my first time at this venue and it lacked security. Or maybe security was just not doing their job. They were letting everyone through to the floor without checking tickets. The sound at times was off and you couldn’t hear their voice clearly. Would probably skip this same venue next time….. but would definitely still go see too short at other venues.
A kick back & a live music concert, everyone young & old having a blast!!!
That was one of the best shows I've been to in awhile. Nice venue and the lineup all brought it. Good job Oakland.
The show started on time which was awesome! Great venue! The performances were top notch! Everything I expected and more!
Amazing show!! Each performer did not disappoint!! I've never seen Scarface perform live; and I must say, he did not disappoint!! Looking forward in seeing him again - hopefully at Yoshi's. And, of course, Too $hort and Richie Rich always shows up for the Bay Area. Having a live band took the show to a whole new level!!
The show was lit exceeded expectations The venue however needed to turn up the a.c.
Too Short put on a great show like always. It was my wife’s first time at a Too Short concert. We had a ball ! 2 thumbs wayyyy up!
It was great going down hit and hit with Too Short. Nice Venue. The opener Stevie Stoner was good too. Great Performance
He performance was best sounds just the same. Sound Board was a nice size. We had floor seats and I didn’t sit down at all.
Too short was on point but the opener were a hard NO!!!’
Like Too $hort, I had never been to the Bethesda Theater before. It was a good intimate setting. The food was a bit pricey for the portion size but not bad. Staff was great. I expected a better sound system with more bass. Too $hort needed to warm up a bit more but I enjoyed him none the less. Hopefully he was more hyped for the 10:00 show, lol. I'm glad he was nice enough to take pictures with us at the end. I'm sure I'll be back to catch more shows.
This is Too Short 2nd show in the area of Downtown Detroit. I link social media chat time to time with them artists I need to get to see the performance. It's important to our creativity our flow. The hype is really really real... tonight he is home town and I am not there for the time of our life the one time we have time inside the same room together...of course I love to hug the fine fella....He has another Birthday coming I hope he spins it again here getting gifts from his arts... happy birthday Took my thoughts and got a dream that you can fulfill....let me see it...💋🤩🥰💭😔😩🤧🥺
No opener..3 hours of a dj spinning music before short came on.. once he was on stage he performed 6 songs and then bounced. Drinks are extremely over priced. Probably won't be going to the depot for another show anytime soon
Concert started at 7pm, listened to a DJ play till 1045pm. Too$hort came out for like 5 songs then dipped…..
Had great seats. I don't think there was 1 bad seat in the entire place.
Came out late played zero hits venue sucked place was lame as can be was super disappointed
