Music: Hip-Hop Too $hort w/ Connie Price and the Keystones

  • Tooshort_large

Too $hort, the Bay Area's self-appointed "Godfather of Hip-Hop," has been on the scene for over two decades, so clearly he doesn't need to grandstand about his longevity. Outside of his usual concerns — rapping about pimpin' and chasing tail over squelchy 808 beats — $hort's been busy acting as hyphy's talent scout, mentoring and promoting local acts like the Pack and Mistah F.A.B. Those boys return the favor, both on record (like last year's Get Off the Stage) and onstage; tonight's show is sure to be a love fest for this long-term playa.
