By the time Jive Records released Born to Mack, Too Short's major-label debut, the young rapper was already a music industry veteran, having released several albums on the independent 75 Girls label. With Born to Mack Too Short continued the formula that had already made him a regional star - sexually explicit lyrics over sparse, bass-heavy. 2pac Discography Download Torrent Tupac Amaru Shakur was the son of two Black Panthers members, who split before his birth. Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, called him Lesane Parish Crooks at birth, concealing their kin in fear for his life, as Black Panthers had many foes.

Rashawnna Guy (born January 3, 1978), better known by her stage name Shawnna is an American rapper. She was the first female artist signed to Def Jam South through Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace Records. She is a former member of the female Chicago rap duo Infamous Syndicate and she is also the daughter of the blues musician Buddy Guy.
She is known for her rapid fire delivery and her sexually explicit image and lyrics. She is one of only four female rappers (others being Lauryn Hill, Lil' Kim and Remy Ma) to ever have a number one song on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 2003's 'Stand Up' with Ludacris.
An MC from the south side of Chicago and the daughter of blues guitarist Buddy Guy. Shawnna began writing rhymes while in high school. She caught her first break in 1996, when her duo Infamous Syndicate opened for Junior M.A.F.I.A. in Chicago. Infamous Syndicate signed to Relativity a year later and released Changing the Game in 1999. The album did not live up to its title, despite production help from No I.D. and Kanye West, the duo was dropped and eventually split. She then went on to team with Ludacris where she was featured on his song 'What's Your Fantasy'. Before she recorded her first album, Shawnna was featured on the remix to the song 'Loverboy' by Mariah Carey for the album and movie Glitter. She was featured in the video along with Ludacris, Da Brat, and Twenty II.
Shawnna's debut album Worth tha Weight, originally scheduled to be released in October 2002, was delayed until September 26, 2004 and was released with little promotion due to disputes at Def Jam. Her album was well received by critics, and spawned the singles 'Shake Dat Shit' and 'Weight a Minute'.
Shawnna's second album Block Music was released on June 27, 2006. Its sales have been initially lower than expected. The album has so far sold over 260,000 copies Worldwide. In preparation of the album, Shawnna teamed up with Clinton Sparks, one of Rolling Stone's Top 10 mixtape producers, to release the official prelude to the album titled Block Music: The Mixtape. This mixtape features exclusive tracks and freestyles as well as the official 'Gettin' Some (All-Star remix)' that featured Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Pimp C, Ludacris, Twista, Pharrell, Too Short, Lil Wayne, Dre, Pitbull & Sean J. She was also announced as Artist of the Week on Hollyscoop.com. As of April 26, 2007, in an interview, Shawnna confirmed that she was no longer with DTP Records, but remains friends with everyone on the label. Although she has left DTP she is still considered to be on their label according to paperwork-said by Remy Ma. She said that she was happy to be an independent artist, and it was something she always wanted to do.
She is managed through Hustle Period and has started her own label M.O.E., which stands for Money Over Everything. In October 2009, Shawnna signed with T-Pain's Nappy Boy Entertainment. Later in 2010, she released a mixtape titled Bitch Like Me hosted by DJ Dirty Money. Her proposed third album will be re-recorded, and is scheduled to be released in 2012. On October 28, 2011, Money Over Everything Entertainment released the new thriller and music video for 'Horror Show' by Shawnna.

Todd Anthony Shaw (born April 28, 1966),[5][1][2] better known by the stage nameToo Short (stylized as Too $hort), is an American rapper and record producer. Too Short became famous in the West Coast hip hop scene in the early 90s, with lyrics often based on pimping and promiscuity, but also drug culture and street survival.[6] The latter, in songs such as 'The Ghetto' and the former, in songs such as 'Blow the Whistle'.
A pioneer of West Coast rap,[1][2][7] he began recording in 1983, drew renown on Oakland's underground rap scene, and signed a major deal in 1987 with Jive Records, which released his album Born to Mack. In 1989, his sophomore album, Life Is...Too Short, drew wide notice, and he remained prominent into the 1990s.
Early life[edit]
Shaw was born and grew up in Los Angeles, California. In the early 1980s, Shaw and his family moved to Oakland, California. He was a drummer in the band at Fremont High School in Oakland.[8]
Career[edit]
In the mid-1980s, Shaw along with a high school friend Freddy B, produced custom songs (called 'special requests') locally on cassette for people in Oakland and the Bay Area. In 1985, Too Short started his solo career and released his debut album, Don't Stop Rappin' on Oakland record label 75 Girls Records And Tapes which, along with four 12' releases, featured raw, simple drum beats from a LinnDrumdrum machine.[9] This was also one of the first hip hop records to use the word 'bitch' - a word which became one of the rapper's trademarks and was the focus of subsequent raps such as 'Ain't Nothin' but a Word to Me'.
In the early 1990s his self-produced beats came from mostly a TR-808 and from mid-to-late 2000s, a TR-909 was used. In 1985, Too Short and Freddie B. formed the label Dangerous Music to regionally distribute his music, and with others formed rap group the Dangerous Crew.[10] Dangerous Music became Short Records, and then Up All Nite Records. With his 1989 release, Life Is...Too Short, he began using replayed established funk riffs (rather than samples) with his beats.
Subsequent work was primarily collaborative, including work with Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Scarface, and Pimp C. One of his notable collaborations during this period was on the track 'The World Is Filled...' on the classic Notorious B.I.G. album Life After Death; he comes in on the third verse after Diddy and Biggie. Being featured on the album introduced him to a wider audience as well, due to his typical style contrasting greatly with the Mafioso theme of the album. He also appeared on TWDY's hit single 'Player's Holiday' from their 1999 debut album Derty Werk[11] as well as the Priority Records compilation Nuthin but a Gangsta Party.[12] After these appearances, 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.[13]
Too Short relocated to Atlanta in 1994, but he did not begin working with a more diverse variety of Southern artists until 2000, when he collaborated with Lil Jon. With the 1999 release of Can't Stay Away, Too Short came out of retirement, continuing his sexually explicit, relaxed style of rap.[14] New albums released 2000-2003 were You Nasty (2000), Chase the Cat (2001), What's My Favorite Word? (2002), and Married to the Game (2003). These albums all charted fairly well, as they all were in the top 71 of the Billboard 200, but they didn't do quite as well as Too Short's earlier 1990s releases as none of them reached the top 10.[15]

In 2004, his earlier 1990 single 'The Ghetto' appeared on popular video gameGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on West Coast hip hop radio station Radio Los Santos. Given that this was an incredibly popular game at the time, the featuring was acclaimed as a success for Too $hort, both in publicity and in the fame generated by the song.
For his next album, Blow the Whistle (2006), Too Short now took advantage of the new hyphy rap music that was emerging out of his original home base in Oakland. This saw somewhat of a resurgence for Too Short as it peaked at #14 on the Billboard 200, much better than each of his previous three releases.[15] However, his subsequent releases, such as 2007's Get Off the Stage, have not been as successful. 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.[15][16]
In 2009, Too Short recorded for Daz Dillinger, Lil Jon, Soopafly, Scarface and B-Legit.[13] In 2011, the rapper was featured on Wiz Khalifa's song 'On My Level'. He also collaborated in Snoop Dogg's 2011 album, Doggumentary in the song 'Take U Home' and on the 50 Cent song 'First Date'. In 2012 Too Short along with E-40 released two collaboration albums on the same day titled History: Mob Music and History: Function Music. Both charted in the top 100 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Too Short has said the best verse he has ever recorded is a verse for a song on Dr. Dre's Detox called 'Man's Best Friend (Pussy)'.[17]
In 2013, it was announced he would collaborate with Lady Gaga on a song 'Jewels n' Drugs' for her upcoming album Artpop. Also featured on the song are T.I. and Twista.[18]
