Synopsis

Amazon.com
Even deep into his career, Short Dog proves that the game is made to stay the same. Ladies, unless you work in a strip club, this album is not for you. Fellas, Chase the Cat is a Donald Goines story set to orange sunshine bounce beats--and if you're already a fan of Shorty the Pimp's freaky tales, then you already know he raps dirty and believes pimpin' won't die. This time out, he enlists the services of fellow Atlanta transplant Erick Sermon to add some commercial flavor to "Fire," pimp-music OGs UGK and 8Ball to up the mackin' quotient on "Ciagrette," and rapper China White to play the drama mama role on "Just One." Of note to P-Funk fans, the original outer-space rapper George Clinton turns the party out, adding some always-welcome intergalactic funk to "You Stank." --Rebecca Levine

3.5 stars for album "#13" - maybe my least favortite $hort a
G$ | B-More, MD | 11/16/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Just 14 months since his last album, $hort Dog is back with album #13, which is perhaps my least favorite of the 9 of his albums I have. (I'd give 1 - 5 stars, 4 would get 4.5 stars, 2 get 3.5 stars and 2 get 4 stars). For starters, he has a lot of guests (as all his post "retirement" albums do) as well as poorer production (as with most of his post "retirement" albums after the Dangerous Crew split). Of the 16 songs on here, 1 I skip, half are good and half are ok, only 1 real good song. Guests are on 2 of the 16 so alot of the Oakland Pimp isn't to be heard on here. Production is ok and oddly from some better funkier west coast producers, SBX does 6 songs, Taj Tilgham, Ant Banks, and Too $hort all do 2 songs, Daz Dillinger, Meech Wells, Jazze Pha and Toen Capone all do 1 song. I'm a huge fan of $hort but this one I might sway skip over, but it still is a little better then ok, just sub-par for a $hort album.



#1 - 7.5 (dirty song)

#2 - 7.5 (f/ Trick Daddy, Daz Dillinger, Scarface, Joan of Arc -- a version exists w/ Kurupt instead of Trick Daddy -- a decent dirty song)

#3 - 5 (f/ Jazze Pha, Murda One, Packy)

#4 - 8 (some more great $hort Freaky Tales -- another dirty one)

#5 - 8 (f/ Tray Deee, Goldie Loc, Big Tigger, Kokane -- tight beat)

#6 - 6 (f/ MC Breed)

#7 - 8 (f/ Erick Sermon & Crawfish -- nice beat)

#8 -8 (a nice dirty song)

#9 - 7.5 (f/ Dolla Will -- another dirty one)

#10 - 8 (f/ Jazze Pha)

#12 - 6 (f/ E-40 & Butch Cassidy)

#13 - 7.5 (about being a player 4 life)

#14 - 7 (another dirty one)

#15 - 9 (f/ B-Legit, Ant Banks -- great ebat from Banks)

#16 - 8 (f/ George Clinton & Baby D)

#17 - 8

"You can save your money with this one...I'm a huge $hort fan and I love his style...usually. On this album his vocals are weak, the raps aren't as tight and the songs just really aren't that catchy. I have tried to give this album a chance on many occasions but I just can't get into it.

For his later stuff I prefer his style more in the way of "you nasty" or "can't stay away". I'm looking for tight, funky loops with in your face lyrics. This album has neither."
