Takin No Shorts

Takin No Shorts is a declaration of confidence, pride, and authenticity. The message is simple: we’re not playing around, we’re not backing down, and we’re not accepting anything less than the respect we’ve earned.

Recorded between 1987 and 1989 as part of The Paul C Sessions, the track captures the attitude and determination of Mikey D & The Original L.A. Posse as they established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. With hard-hitting rhymes and unwavering confidence, Takin No Shorts makes it clear that the group was serious about their craft and ready to prove they belonged among the best.

Produced by the legendary Paul C, this remastered version preserves the energy, attitude, and authenticity of the original recording while showcasing the competitive spirit that helped define hip hop’s golden era.
