Get On Down Us 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Shorty The Pimp was the seventh album from Too $hort and it dropped back in 1992. It has been regarded as something of a smooth hip-hop classic ever since and now gets reissued on limited edition orange-coloured vinyl for the first time since 2018. Its title is taken from a 1973 Blaxploitation film and the record finds Shorty in full flow with his boastful bars of funky beats with conscious rhymes and layers of swagger pimp talk all intertwined nicely. There is wit and comedy in the lyrics - as well as some things that show the album's age - but it remains a superb listen on the slower, funky end of the hip-hop spectrum.
