Description: Originally released in 1988, Life Is...Too $hort solidified Too $hort as a foundational voice in West Coast hip-hop. Emerging from Oakland’s underground scene, the album brought explicit street narratives and laid-back Bay Area funk into the national spotlight. Its conversational flow and minimalist production became a blueprint for West Coast rap’s rise in the decades to follow. This 2021 reissue preserves the raw attitude that made it a regional classic turned national landmark.
