| Rolling Stone (4/1/99, p.98) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...exudes the same horny, pimped-out vibe as Short's previous albums..."Vibe (4/99, p.182) - "...Oaktown's finest--now living in Atlanta--has delivered a musical aesthetic that's pure genius in its simplicity....Jive's platinum goose has just hatched his 11th release..." The Source (4/99, p.196) - 4 Mics (out of 5) - "...the most biased of hip-hop heads will have to admit that Short The Pimp [is] easily...the world's most consistent hip-hop act....CAN'T STAY AWAY will have Too Short fans more likely hitting the rewind button than the fast-forward one..." Rap Pages (5/99, p.144) - 4 (out of 5) - "...Too Short trades rhymes with a number of MCs who complement his voice and style....This extremely well-executed album takes chances that Short wouldn't have taken in the past..." |
