How come Too $hort never gets his proper dues? He's seriously literally NEVER been wack,, ever

[MoneyLuver]

Hell yeah, she said - "I know why they call ya $hort Dog"

"But why you always gotta be so hard on us women? "

What a nigga gotta do?

Treat a young lady like a prostitute

Cause that's how we livin' in the '9-0s

I'm tired of y'all savin' these fine hoes

If you ever see a lady, treat her with class

But these disrespectful bitches, beat they ass

And don't hesitate to represent the game right

Cause it's cool to go home to your same wife every night

And never say shit about mine

I be seein' your bitch out all the time

Smilin', starin' at me, nigga what's up?

I know your bitch, if I want to I could fuck

But I'm all about my money so keep your punk hoe

And let the funk flow

What do you mean though. He gets respect on every coast. He can easily have niggas begging for a feature from him. No one ever tries to come at him on some disrespectful shit. What exactly do you mean by proper dues?

You never see him get Awards and his "Looks". Why do Run DMC get recognized on some next level shit but he don't. No diss to Run DMC but they're on the same pillar. Even tho $hort has the edge

 

[MoneyLuver]

"Yall" talk about how these "new niggas" be simpin n all that other shit. So then why doesn't he have a bigger voice in tha game

 

[Ear2DaSt]

He is respected

 

[scottsteiner]

naitch fux wit too $hort 4 life!

 

[MoneyLuver]

We got Ice T, Jamar, KRS, and Chuck D but why not Too $hort

 

[deathrowzorrow]

Probably one of the most respected rappers when it comes to Rappers respecting other Rappers.

 

[Ear2DaSt]

Old school respect before the south's time

So why hasn't he got a Lifetime Achievement Award yet? Dude's been in the game since 83' and still crankin like a new artist.

I don't know wat yall ain't gettin

 

[dj pre-k]

lol lifetime achievement award from who?

 

[MoneyLuver]

The Industry

 

[The_Jackal]

Cause the industry is full of bullshit and politics everyone knows this. Too Short still one of the ogs of this hip hop shit and nobody can sling dirt on his name.

 

[5 Grand]

Part of the reason Too $hort doesn't get props is because his music has a serious West Coast vibe that doesn't translate we'll on the East Coast. Niggaz in NYC don't fuck with Short Dog. He never got any spins on Red Alert or Marley Marl back in the 80s and Funkmaster Flex wasn't giving him any spins in the 90s. People in The 5 boroughs can't name one song by him.

So to answer the t/s question, it's a coastal thing.

Just off my head will smith Pharrell Tupac got a star in hollywood. All about politics. You not gonna get a street nigga like too short or Warren g or eazy e on Hollywood cause that's not the message they won't to send
