Chase the Cat
Even deep into his career, Short Dog proves that the game is made to stay the same. Ladies, unless you work in a strip club, this album isnotfor you. Fellas,Chase the Catis a Donald Goines story set to orange sunshine bounce beats--and if you're already a fan of Shorty the Pimp's freaky tales, then you already know he raps dirty and believes pimpin' won't die. This time out, he enlists the services of fellow Atlanta transplantErick Sermonto add some commercial flavor to "Fire," pimp-music OGsUGKand 8Ball to up the mackin' quotient on "Ciagrette," and rapper China White to play the drama mama role on "Just One." Of note toP-Funkfans, the original outer-space rapper George Clinton turns the party out, adding some always-welcome intergalactic funk to "You Stank."--Rebecca Levine
