Too Short's name is synonymous with the West Coast O.G. sound he helped pioneer, and -- with 16 albums to his credit -- he's outlasted dozens of other artists throughout his legendarily lengthy career. On the mixtape Pimpin' Inc., Shortdog delivers a slew of chauvinistic punch lines, demonstrating the secret of his staying power: keep it simple and stay on topic. As for lyrical content, there's nothing new here and that's the point. Every song is a testament to Too Short's superior pimp-hand -- and rap fans can't be mad at that. The all-star guest list includes Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks, Lil Jon, B.G., and Erick Sermon.
