Gettin' It (Album Number Ten) is the tenth studio album by American rapper Too Short. It was released on May 21, 1996, via Jive Records, making it his seventh album on the label. This was his final album before going on a brief career hiatus, and was certified platinum on July 26, 1996.[1] It peaked in the Top 5 in the Billboard 200, while becoming the third number-one album for the artist on the Top R&B Albums chart.
The album's production and lyrical content more or less reflect the domination of gangsta rap and G-funk through the West Coast, and somewhat strays from Too $hort's sex and pimping themes.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that as Too Short had announced this as his "retirement album", "he picked the perfect moment to drop out of the hip-hop business—as the album shows, he's already beginning to border on self-parody" as it has too much "filler" and "tired boasts and worn-out beats".[2] In 2023, Pitchfork called it Too Short's "imperial '90s peak" as well as "a slick and funky landmark of pimp rap", summarizing it as "a grand, reflective finale where $hort grapples with his rap game mortality and legacy—sometimes thoughtfully, other times recklessly—while keeping the raunchiness and sub-bass sound of mobb music intact".[3]
