Gettin' It (Album Number Ten) is the tenth studio album by American rapper Too Short. It was released on May 21, 1996 by Jive Records, making it his seventh album on the label. It was announced and marketed as his "last album", although his career would continue with the release of his aptly-titled eleventh album, Can't Stay Away (1999). The album was supported by the lead single of the same name (featuring Parliament-Funkadelic), which served as its first track.[1]
Gettin' It (Album Number Ten)'s production and lyrical content reflect the domination of gangsta rap and G-funk throughout the West Coast, and narrowly strays away from the sexually explicit subject matter heard on its predecessor, Cocktails (1995). It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and remains his highest-charting album, and became Too Short's third number-one album on the Top R&B Albums chart. On July 26, 1996, it received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
