 THIS BLOWS THE WHISTLE ALRIGHT Dec 08, 2007
I'm a big $hort fan but this cd can get pretty ugly. It had a nice single ("Blow The Whistle") and from that I assumed it was representing the product. Turns out that's basically the only good song on the album. It's not that I dislike Jazze Pha, he's worked with Too $hort in the past and they've made some great music, one that comes to mind is "Ain't No Bitc4es" back about 7 years ago. Jazze does however sound the same with a lot of the beats throughout this album and with him rapping and singing it only makes matters worse. A couple listenable songs are "Sophisticated" and "Playa". The other main producer, Lil Jon, happened to make every beat he's ever done over again on this album. I swear I've heard all those beats before, maybe I'm just crazy... I saw the tracklist with Daz and Kurupt and once I heard them and Too $hort rhyming very awfully over a recycled Lil Jon instrumental I knew the album was wrapped up. Anyway, Too $hort comes with some sloppy rhymes here and there but does show flashes of effort as well. It's obviously the worst album of his career, mainly because you can tell he wasn't TOO dedicated to this. It was received in a 50/50 way, lots of people who feel like I do and lots who just like to see old faces in the new light with the happening things around them. However you can't blame the guy, why not get in on some of the action, he is a pioneer after all, he's probably having a great time. But who cares how anyone really feels, the album sold about 80,000 in it's debut, not bad numbers for little nationwide promotion and for a time when music sales are so low.... I'd bet he got some nice change from this

Short Dogg has fallen off... May 21, 2007
Too $hort has had many high and low points in his long career, but none are as terrible as last year's 'Blow the Whistle'. This is just not up to the standard quality we've come to expect from Short Dogg, but he has fallen off a bit since his "retirement". 'Blow the Whistle' is as boring and predictable as it gets. Yawn-inducing production from producers such as will.i.am and Lil Jon can be found here, and of course there's the extremely annoying Jazze Pha. Numerous guests fill this album, and they have little to offer. Snoop Dogg still has it going elsewhere, but he sounds washed up here (on 'Keep Boucin'), and will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas provides bad rhymes and boring production. 'Blow the Whistle' and 'Baller' are pretty much the only decent or good tracks here, the rest is either boring or plain bad. Let's pretend Short Dogg retired with 'Gettin' It'.
