Eight Gigs: Too $hort
Fri., Dec. 23, 6:30 p.m., Ace of Spades, $27-$32
Maybe you haven’t heard, but Too $hort will be at Ace of Spades! Any reader with a Facebook account might remember that Ace of Spades’ FB page recently accidentally rapid-fire spammed everyone on the Too $hort event page to outrageous levels. But don’t let this sour you on the genius that is Too $hort. He’s a West Coast hip-hop legend. Classic songs like “The Ghetto” and “Blow the Whistle” are undeniable. Plus, he still releases relevant music. One YouTube commenter put it best: “This is some real-ass shit.” 1417 R Street, www.facebook.com/tooshort.
