Too Short - It's About Time

(2-CD set) It's been said by many of Too $hort's fans that if you haven't heard his first three albums, then you've never really heard Too $hort. And that's what we have here: 18 raw, ground-breaking early cuts (1983-88) from the legendary Oaktown rapper, one of the first hip hop artists to use explicit language on his albums and actually get them into record stores. Recorded and produced by Too $hort for the independent label Seventy Five Girls before he went on to fame and fortune with Jive Records, the music included here was originally found on the early tapes he sold out of the trunk of his car and distributed through City Hall Records.
