Too Short is credited as being one of the pioneer rappers of West Coast hip hop. His rap lyrics are primarily about pimping, drug use, surviving and promiscuity.\n', '
Shaw was born and grew up in South Central 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. \n', '
In the mid-1980s, Shaw produced custom songs (called "special requests") for people with a high school friend, Freddy B. In 1985, Too Short had his first release, Don\'t Stop Rappin\' which, along with the following three releases, featured raw, simple drum beats from a LinnDrum drum machine. 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."\n', '
