No. 10 Life Is…Too $hort by Too $hort

The Oakland legend broke through to national audiences with his second album, which still remains his best-seller. Featuring the classic title track, the $hort Dawg’s gift for raunchy rhymes is tempered with street commentary. An album that proved to have lingering influence on both West Coast and Dirty South hip-hop.
