Since 1982, Too $hort actively produced and released LPs such as ‘Don’t Stop Rappin’, ‘Players’ and ‘Raw, Uncut and X-Rated’, before gaining widespread recognition and an RIAA Gold certification, along with a chart-spot of no. 50 in the US R&B listings, with ‘Born to Mack’. Too $hort’s initial success continued as the explicit rapper achieved numerous accolades throughout the 1990s. The albums ‘Get in Where You Fit In’, ‘Cocktails’ and ‘Gettin’ It (Album Number Ten)’ all peaked at the top of the US R&B charts and received an RIAA Platinum rating, whilst also charting in the top 10 of the US Albums chart. Between 1996-2000, Too $hort achieved five top 10 positions in the US Rap chart with singles such as ‘More Freaky Tales’ and ‘2 Bitches’.
Too $hort continued to release records through the 2000s and 2010s; most notably, his album ‘Blow the Whistle’ peaked at no. 14 on the US Billboard 200. He encountered great success when featuring on tracks with other music artists too; for instance, he rapped on Kelis’s ‘Bossy’ in 2006 which peaked at no. 16 on the US Singles Chart, and he partook on Chris Brown’s ‘Loyal’ which peaked at number nine in 2014.
Too $hort is often compared to E-40, Ant Banks and Mistah F.A.B, and the Californian-born lyricist performed at prestigious settings such as iTunes Festival and Coachella. Too $hort’s talents have also lead him further afield; he played the role of Lew-Loc in the film Menace II Society and voiced the character Fillyacup on the animated sitcom The Siccness Network between 2000-2001, whilst he has also been a mentor at Youth Uprising, an organization serving at-risk youths.
As such a mainstay in the hip-hop scene, Too $hort worked alongside artists such as Twista, Snoop Dogg and Jagged Edge, and is regarded as a true pioneer of the West Coast movement.
Born on 25 March 1975, Juvenile first started rapping in the early 1990s. After signing with Warlock records in 1995, he released his debut album entitled “Being Myself.” Unfortunately, the album did not gain much national attention and did not chart, but did fairly well on a local level. However, it did bring more attention to labels, and as a result, Juvenile signed to Cash Money Records and released “Solja Rags” in 1997. Although the album saw some national success having made it onto the Billboard Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs Chart, it saw most of its success with local rap audiences. Also in 1997, Juvenile joined the Hot Boys with fellow Cash Money rappers B.G., Turk, and Lil Wayne and together they released their debut album “Get It How U Live!”
Juvenile released his third solo album entitled “400 Degreez” in 1998 and it became his breakout album, having had the opportunity for a bigger market due to Cash Money Records gaining a joint distribution with Universal Records. Keeping up with the success of “400 Degreez,” he released “Tha G-Code” in 1999 and “Project English “ in 2001, both of which ended up becoming double certified platinum.
In 2005 Juvenile signed a new deal with Atlantic Records and released “Reality Check” in 2006. The album, which had debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, went on to become certified gold. By 2012 Juvenile released his tenth album, “Rejuvenation” which featured the single "Power" featuring Rick Ross. Juvenile collaborated with Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Drake.
Was a little worried at first because of other reviews I read, but the tickets were a gift from my brother and we had dinner there which was delicious! The tickets we had said VIP and cost a little more but I don't think its necessary to pay more because we asked our waitress for one of the tables in the front and she gave us exactly what we wanted without even looking at our tickets. I was totally satisfied with Too Short's performance my husband is a big fan and he was happy! The stage name Too Short is a bit of an oxymoron for a rapper who launched his career in the early 1980s and continues to impress audiences with songs like "The Ghetto" and "Blow the Whistle." One of the major pioneers of West Coast rap, Too Short has maintained a productive career for over three decades. The legendary MC performs infrequently, yet tickets to his shows are a hot commodity as fans line up to hear his extensive musical works that span 19 albums, 10 of which have earned gold or platinum status. No tour has been announced for 2014, although Too Short is expected to perform a concert or two over the course of the year. Too Short re-emerged in 2006 with "Blow the Whistle," peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard 200, his highest selling and most critically acclaimed album in years. He followed up with "Get Off The Stage" (2007), "Still Blowin'" (2010) and "No Trespassing" (2012). Along with "Still Blowin'" and "No Trespassing," Too Short has performed a variety of guest tracks for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, 50 Cent, Lil' Jon, Scarface and Wiz Khalifia. He is also featured on Lady Gaga's track "Jewels and Drugs" alongside T.I. and Twista.

I was head bumping in my baby crib, listening to Juvenile now i'm body popping to Juvenile 15+ years later! Good music is timeless and with Juvenile never has a statement held so much truth. Terius Grey also known as Juvenile is perhaps one of the most underrated rappers, but with performances like this! that's soon to change. The 'back that ass up' rapper, inspires such wildness within the audience, Rock has mosh pits, rap has crumping and that was the result when he performed his 2014 song 'Live Wire'. As the familiar Southern beat dropped, people were shaking so much I thought their souls were gonna leave their bodies there and then! This energy is hard to come by from a single song and when 'Back That Ass Up' came on, left right and center all I could see for miles on end was twerking, trying to keep up with such motion resulted in nothing less than your head bobbling up and down like the dog from the Churchill adverts Juveniles hype man prepared the audience, as if a scene out of a movie were being filmed, warming up the crowd and competing with the screaming girls as Juvenile strolled on with a bottle of alcohol that looked like it cost more than my entire existence, and that is what people love about Juvenile, he's just so calm, cool and relaxed. Even if you're not a fan, attend one of his performances, within twenty seconds of the first song, your opinion will change! If not then I PERSONALLY will teach you how to twerk.
