5His Best Work Ever  Jan 01, 2009
Too Short has many great hits, but in my opinion, from start to finish, this is his best work ever. This is from someone who has his first 8 major releases and even a couple from when he was slinging tapes out of the trunk of his car. If you claim to be a Too Short fan and don't have this one, you're not really a Too Short fan. If you want some vintage Short Dog this is the one to get.

5 Star   Apr 17, 2008

Too Short is the Ultimate PIMP - If you like this album check out Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1 - from his homie Devin the Dude another 5 Stars

5This one's a classic  Apr 15, 2007
'Short Dog's in the House' is one of Too $hort's earlier releases, and it's miles above the crap he puts out now. It kicks off with the great 'Short Dog's in the House', and through-out the record there are many memorable and classic tracks. The most known one here is probably 'The Ghetto'. Really, there's not one bad track on here, and there's top-notch tracks about street life, keeping it real, AND pimping (what he only seems to be concerned about nowadays). Cop this one now.

If there's one Too $hort album to buy, this is it. Other great ones by Too $hort include 'Cocktails', 'Shorty the Pimp', and 'Gettin' It'. Cop 'em all, but avoid rubbish like 'Blow the Whistle' and.. well... pretty much anything he puts out now.

5Album Number Six (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5 Stars)  Mar 01, 2007
What I like about Too Short back in the 80's and early 90's was the fact that he had ambition in his rhymes. Believe it or not, every verse he kicks on the songs in his sixth album "Short Dog's In The House", he kicks with confidence. My favorite hit single he as ever made in his career would be "The Ghetto". Short kicks facts of how life is in the streets of Oakland, something that he hardly did in his music. Also "It's Your Life" would be another positive song that he made. If you began listening to Short after his retirement, when you hear this you'll probably won't be used to hearing rhymes like this. I can't forget his pimp game. "Pimpology" would be the breakdown on how to keep a listener's pimp game up. Ice Cube, the only guest appearance on this album would appear on "Ain't Nothin' But A Word To Me"...and you probably know what that word is.

A lot of this material sounds dated, but I'm not mad at it. It reminds me of how rap was back in 1990. The rhymes Short kicked were just simple rhymes about rocking parties and his pimp game. The production on here has a little '90 flavor as well. A lot of these songs were either produced or co-produced by Too Short. Which is actually kind of good. The beat to "Hard On The Boulevard" is dope, made by Short by himself. Other producers are Sir Jinx and DJ Pooh, as well as some of the songs by Pierre "The Beat Fixer" James, Keenan "The Mastero" Foster, and Al Eaton. The latter name would help with Short on "The Ghetto", another beat that I liked, which is good that there is an instrumental of the song on the last track.

Too Short already made a name for himself and help put Oaktown on the map. If you like music from the early 90's, this one I think you will enjoy. It shows Too Short rocking the mic with no fear at all. And whats great about this is this isn't even his best album, so there was more to come after this one.

5ESSENTIAL  Nov 20, 2006
There are so many great songs on this record, if you don't already own it you're missing out. All the beats bump hard and Shorts droppin knowledge all over this. Its lyrically well-rounded (considering), there's actually a lot more to this than what you may expect from him. Much like Cocktails, it represents Short to the fullest with original raps and dope tracks!
