Record Label: Jive
Format: Album

Strong production work by Ant Banks, Erick Sermon, and Jazze Pha is a highlight, as are a few notable songs such as "2 Bitches," "Anything Is Possible," and the title track. There's a good serving of filler here, of course, yet overall You Nasty is one of Too Short's more inspired, if sharply jaded, post-retirement albums.
