"THIS RARE DOUBLE DISC CONTAINS THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF TOO SHORT'S FIRST 3 TAPES, WHICH WERE ALL RECORDED LOCALLY BACK IN 1985. THOSE TAPES ARE VERY RARE AND EVEN THIS CD THAT HAS ALL THE SONGS FROM THOSE 3 TAPES ARE RARE. TO THIS DAY, SONGS LIKE ''DON'T STOP RAPPIN'', INVASION OF THE FLAT BOOTY B***HES'', ''GIRL'', ''WILD WILD WEST'', AND ''SHORT RAP'' ARE ALL GREAT SONGS TO PARTY TO. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE WEST COAST HAD NOT YET ESTABLISHED ITS OWN SOUND. SO, IN OTHER WORDS, THESE SONGS PRE-DATE GANGSTA RAP, N.W.A., ICE-T, EAZY-E, AND ALL THAT STUFF. THESE ARE ACTUALLY SOME OF THE BEST TOO SHORT SONGS THAT'VE EVER BEEN RECORDED. YOUR TOO SHORT COLLECTION IS NEVER COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS CD. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ORDER ONE OFF OF THIS WEBSITE BEING THAT THIS 2-DISC IS HARD TO FIND."
