Short Dog's In The House

Short Dog's in the House is the sixth album by American rapper Too Short. The album was released on September 11, 1990, via Jive Records. The CD contains a number of both socially conscious songs, as well as dirty rap and sexually-explicit songs that have made Too Short famous. The album's production samples a number of classic P-funk records, and uses the Roland TR-808 for rhythm. The laid-back beats would be a major influence in hip hop years later, and the album was key in the development of G-funk that dominated the charts for the next few years. The album's cover was an influence for the cover art for Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, just as Too Short's drawl-heavy delivery had influenced Snoop Dogg's vocal style. The album received a number of positive reviews, which helped it reach the highest position on the U.S. R&B charts of any of Too Short's albums up to that time. The album featured a guest appearance by Ice Cube. The production of the album was handled mostly by a number of local Oakland-based producers, but also received production from two of Ice Cube's producers, Sir Jinx and DJ Pooh. The edited version removes two songs and adds the song "What Rap?"
