The record
Title: Too $hort - Born To Mack
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1987, Hip Hop, West Coast Rap, Oakland, California 6/26
Matrix #: Plain 198
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: Too $hort (66' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Before major-label money, Too $hort built his name selling homemade tapes around Oakland, turning street-level hustle into survival before the industry caught up.
- Scene Ecology: Born To Mack helped put Oakland rap on the map, with minimalist drum machine funk and blunt street narration far from New York’s dominant sound.
- Media Narrative: Jive reissued the album after its local success, making Too $hort one of the first West Coast rappers to turn regional tape culture into national business.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
