Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
	One of the true O.G.'s in rap, Too Short was laying down raw rhymes about violence, sex, and life on the streets years before "gangsta rap" was a definable genre. Too Short began making a name for himself in Oakland in the early 1980s, and through a series of gold and platinum albums in the '80s and '90s came to be seen as one of the founding fathers of hardcore rap. MACK OF THE CENTURY culls 13 of the rapper's strongest tracks from across his discography, including the gems "Life is Too Short" and "The Ghetto." MACK OF THE CENTURY represents Too Short at his brassy, bawdy best, and is the perfect introduction to this hip-hop icon.

Artist Overview

Born in Los Angeles, but an Oakland resident by the age of 14, Too Short was the first West Coast rap star, recording three albums on his own before he made his major-label debut with 1988's gold album Born to Mack; his next four all went platinum. Anticipating much of the later gangsta phenomenon, he restricted his lyrical themes to tales of sexual prowess and physical violence, with the occasional social message track to mix things up. After the release of Gettin' It (Album Number Ten) in 1996, Too Short decided to retire, although that decision would prove short-lived. ~ John Bush
