The Godfather of rap was in the CO once again and boy did he bring the house down! I am talking about the one and only Too $hort.

The Oakland native brought some of his West coast flavor for free to Skully’s last night and he didn’t miss a beat. The crowd was crazy! It was wall to wall people on the inside and on the patio drinking and having a good time.

The DJ was spinning the hot tunes and taking us way back. Too $hort got on stage and put it down along with a live band. He performed his greatest hits such as, “The Ghetto”, “Life is Too $hort”, “Getting it” and my favorite “Freaky Tales.” He also performed a few of his most recent hits “Blow the Whistle” and the booty anthem “Shake that Monkey.”

He called a few donkeys, I mean females to come on stage and shake their monkey. Let me tell you, these donkeys really went there on shaking their booty. You thought they were about to get a check or appear in his next video or something. Too $hort also took the time out to have a few local artist come up and show off some of their skills (Shout out to Fly Union for doing the damn thing! I love you guys!). He also called his longtime friend Mix Master Ice up on stage.

I didn’t think Too $hort was ever going to get off the stage. He was up there for a good hour or more. The crowd sang along to every song. I just can’t believe that this man has been in the game for 21 years, done 15 albums and still holding strong in the game.

I got a chance to meet up with him in V.I.P and the way he looked at me I thought he was addressing me with his eyes, but he was very respectful even though he said I was security. I mean I know I am tall but DANG!

Hopefully these young cats that are coming into the game will change their ways and look up to Too $hort and see how he keeps it real. Honestly, I feel that is what will keep you in the game for a long time.

Keep it stuck for more concert reviews!
