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.
Long time fan... first time was gonna see him. We showed up, he didn't. Lots of different opening acts that were all really good. $hort dog came out and danced around, flashed his light up grill, then would disappear. I left at 12:30am and he still had not come out and done one of his songs. Very disappointed...
I usually don't write reviews but this had to be one of the biggest let downs. I love Too Short am all his early music but this concert was a total bust. I wasn't a huge fan of his new album but i figured it would be a fun show since most of his other songs were great. He didn't go on stage until about 12:30am and the concert was scheduled to begin at 9pm. it seemed like the entire production of the concert was half ass. He had about 25 random friends on stage with him who he kept passing the Mic off to. I had no idea who these people were and it wasn't very good. I was super bummed about the whole performance because i didn't feel any love or passion from too Short. Unfortunately i won't be going to see short dogg ever again :(
It was one of the worst shows I've seen in a long time! Too Short was TOO WACK!!!
This show was the worse experience I've ever had. I will never purchase too short tickets ever again. A waste of my time. They had others singing that did a nicer job than him. But if I wanted to listen to them I wouldn’t have bought too short tickets.
it was great sort of ghetto to many fights but alot of good looking guys i met .. too short took forever to come out . the opening acts were not great the ending wasnt great ..
The performance was cool, but when I purchased my ticket for a concert, I expected to sit down and enjoy it. With any concert at Center Stage, doors open early for those who chose to come early and get good seat. That was my plan, but upon arrival it was moved to the building next door- The Loft and they were no way ready to let me come in as the Stage would have been for a scheduled concert. And a seat?- sit and not see the concert was the only choice given. Actually, I would call this a party with a performance and not a concert. Do I get refund money? Lastly- Too Short didn't say "B^%@H" enough and we all know that's trademark!
Well I love Too short, but this live band thing and him only performing a few songs and then letting the band take over had everyone leaving early and me very disappointed:-(
The opening acts were entertaining and the DJ's played some great music.....mostly old school rap. Unfortunately, I cannot remember their names. Too Short with the live band really delivered. I was expecting the show to be held at Center Stage, but it was held next door at The Loft instead. There were no seats. We stood directly in front of the stage, so it was cool. My fave moment was when Short started reminiscing on Atlanta and started crying. Then he was like "Deez real tears, nicca!" It was hilarious, but it was also time to go. That's when I made my exit.
I thought this was an excellent concert and will definitely be going again; too many memories to count
I found the main event, Too Short, to be less than what I expected. Sure, I knew he would be high, but I didn't think he would be so high that he would rap a total of 7 songs with breaks in between for who knows what reason. Then, I assume there were technical difficulties and it seems that he roamed off stage after rapping the song halfway without music. I will say that most of the song he performed were to my liking, but the demeanor and performance as a whole was unacceptable. --- The opening acts were pretty good except for the one right before Too Short came on.... they just sucked....
Opening acts were terrible! Too Short kept taking breaks and wasn't even doing complete songs. He kept walking behind the DJ booth and then seemed to just give up after about 7 songs. Very disappointing!
First and probably last Too Short show. Love Too Short but concert was probably the worst I have ever been to. He didn't come on until 11:45, the sound system kept going out from technical difficulties. Once he did come on, he sang about 5 songs and then the dj just played music, pretty lame...
NOW I SEE WHY THE CONCERT WAS ONLY $28....HE BASICALLY JUST STOPPED PERFORMING!!...USUALLY IT'S LIKE OK THIS IS MY LAST SONG... BUT IN TOO $HORTS CASE IT WAS LIKE OK..I'LL JUST LET THE DJ PLAY MUSIC WHILE I DRINK MY PATRON!!..SERIOUSLY!!!!..I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A TOO $HORT FAN BUT OVERALL JUST DISSAPOINTED!!!!!
A legend such as too short has so many songs the event should have done a sound check and make sure they have at least 15 songs ready to play instrumentials to so the performance could flow with out those sound breaks where the sound went out that was not good.........sound systems & tech's need to prepare for the worst......
Too Short came on about 11:00-11:30 PM after having not such good acts before him to entertain the crowd. Too Short did a few songs that was good but was to high or drunk to continue. He sat behind DJ both with his saff who appeared to be giving him water and towel. The crowd began departing after just listening to the DJ play songs and Too Short doing nothing.
This concert was Terrible...I love going to the Grove in Anahiem..it's an awesome venue to see shows. Too $hort was rediculous...he did 5 songs..took a break...did 1 more song and that was the end of the show....Rediculous!!!
Great Concert... All performers were great. The Best of the evening Digital Underground and Too Short. They were both fabulous and very entertaining.
The concert last year was OK not great ive been to better the only good performers were Too Short And Dj Quick but Dj Quick was only out for half of a bone thugs song.. they would have to get better performers then maybe i would concider going back but not this year.....
Went to this primarily to see too short.. thought he was the headline act but he went on first n only played like 6 songs.. not too great t for 30$ dollar tix.
We got there at 8 and had to listen to wanna be rappers warm up the crowd and rap to radio jams for hours....Short and or others musta been late......He didn't play enuf old songs either.
