Congrats to @tooshort 1 of my favorite rappers #Oakland #HipHop pioneer & inspiration for a #WestCoast Nation " B!+($ " What's your favorite #TooShort song? Grab that new @mount_westmore Album This weekend Too Short was given his own street #Tooshortway #Tooshortstreet in #EastOakland my old hood. Near @fremonthighoakland where @realsway @icecube @soulbeattv & mayor @libbyschaaf spoke to youth as part of the ceremony... I, like Short went to #FremontHighSchool (Along w many other Rap, Education,Activist,Business,Film & Sports legends) Of course I went to #Fremont way after since I'm younger &grew up on Short music pretty much my whole life "Since the Foothill bus # 43" Ogs w/ 📻 bumping my fave song #Dopefiendbeat on Ac Transit Many in this era know him for his favorite word & Sex filled Club,Party hits but growing up in #TheTown we got the full #ShortDog experience w The Live Funk band, #DangerousCrew We saw & learned up close. He had lots of deep songs & spit raw rhymes about a special city that needed a voice & Narrarator. Short explained social issues of Northern Cali in times when Hip Hop was mostly New York voices. He did for the O what Nwa did for Compton. Geto Boys for Houston etc. He added a new dimension & perspective. Rapping about our neighborhoods & Doing videos w future Oakland stars and real live people from the streets as the extras. Most of all he #Dontstoprappin Short put alot of people on too (Directly & Indirectly) I cant even name them all,but even Alot of my Rap career,Oakland pride & national respect,rap energy & opportunities comes from this Raw blueprint.I had the privilege of opening up or sharing stage at so many of his shows from early in the local come up to big events in diff states. Theres a line on my 1st album "I remember Too Short #Freakytales back of bus, way before puff i seem to have a knack for this stuff" (DM name of song 4 FREE merch 🧢👕) I spit verse for @teacha_krsone & he took me tour.

10/04/1990 | Happy Release Day 1990 | A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm Jive | RCA Records #atribecalledquest #atcq #jiverecords #RCArecords @atcq @rcarecords Farout Magazine: „A Tribe Called Quest’s seminal debut album People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm paved the way for an incredible amount of hip-hop artists to emerge and develop the genre into the powerhouse it is today. „ NME: „SUCH TASTE. A Tribe Called Quest put no feet in the wrong place here. This is not rap, it's near perfection.“ „This album goes deep, but you don't have to drop a rope ladder to get down to it. They fly high without talking down.“ 9!10 Pitchfork: „The group is marked for their social consciousness, but not merely because of their awareness, but their ability to wax simultaneously about politics and art.“ „…People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm is more than a nostalgia artifact. It's a worthy listen, not because of what it was, but because of what it is.“ Rolling Stone: „Inasmuch as the arch and arty New York hip-hop foursome A Tribe Called Quest exudes any enthusiasm at all on its debut album, that enthusiasm shows up mostly in the grooves, not the voices.“ The Source: „A completely original musical and spiritual approach to hip-hop. The album is a voyage to the land of positive vibrations, and each cut is a new experience.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLSItLMtdG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
