Todd Anthony Shaw, better known by the stage name Too Short (stylized as Too $hort), is an American rapper and record producer.
He became famous in the West Coast hip-hop scene in the late 1980s, with lyrics often based on pimping and promiscuity, but also drug culture and street survival. This is respectively exemplified in his most popular songs “Blow the Whistle” and “The Ghetto”.

A pioneer of West Coast rap, Too Short began recording in 1983, cultivating a large following in his native Oakland. In 1987, his fourth album, Born to Mack, attracted the attention of Jive Records, which signed him and distributed the album nationally.
His subsequent 1988 album, Life Is…Too Short, was highly successful, going double platinum, and he remained prominent into the 1990s.
He began working on his eleventh album, Can’t Stay Away. The album included guest appearances by 8Ball & MJG, Jay-Z, Jermaine Dupri, Sean Combs, E-40, Daz Dillinger, Lil Jon, Soopafly, Scarface and B-Legit.
On October 7, 2008, Too Short was honored by VH1 at the fifth annual “Hip-Hop Honors”, along with Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Slick Rick and Naughty By Nature.
