Too $hort
With 30 years under his belt, 15 million Soundscan sales, 6 platinum certifications, 4 gold certifications, collaborations alongside both Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G., countless sold out shows, and hundreds of guest appearances, Too Short cracked the code to hip-hop immortality. If West Coast hip-hop ever gets its own Mount Rushmore, he deserves to be right next to Dr. Dre, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and E-40—preferably smoking a blunt.
