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.
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.
Too Short was great. He has great stage presence and does a good show. 8 Ball and MJG were good, although I would have like to hear more of their radio-friendly cuts. Couldn't stick around for Trick Trick because local entertainment took up a ton of time. Lots of crowd fights (with girls mostly) sucked, but it was overall great. Love Too Short in concert, can't wait to see him perform again. Stretch Money was actually pretty good too and DJ Fingaz mixed up some pretty good songs.
It took much too long for too short to perform, and the people that you had performing before him were not good enough to keep anyones attention. Plus you have no seating. I was told that the show started at 8:00pm. Too short did not appear until 11:30pm. This is much too long to have people standing. especially when you have no qualified entertainers to perform.
It was LONG wait. There were too many acts prior to seeing Too Short. Too Short was only on stage for about 45 min or less. I was hoping that it would have been a better show since it was rescheduled. Hopefully the next concert i attend would be better.
Illest show everrrr the opening acts were good, kept the crowd hypped
yes it was very crowded and he didnt come out till12 but i really think it was all worth it. the ticket wasnt even that much so i think we payed for what we got. i will go to another too short concert as long as i no his opening performers are either better or barely shown. i had a lot of fun. him being there for his fans on his birthday alone was a privelege for all of us!!!! i think we need to give him just aa bit more credit
After suffering through about 8 amateur opening acts, I finally had to leave at half past midnight; Too Short was no where in sight. I shell out good money for two tickets and never got to see the guy I paid to see, and had to patiently piss away 4 hours of my time with the other performers. If it wasn't Mother's Day, I could have waited till 3am to see if he ever showed, but I figured 12:30 with no star was late enough.
