Too Short made an a$$ out of himself this morning after he was pulled over by Los Angeles police.  The Oakland rhyme spitter was stopped for a traffic violation when the boys in blue discovered he was under the influence.  He scored a .09 on his breathalyzer test.  Then, things got embarrassing.

Short dawg allegedly tried to flee from police once he got out of the car.  A source claims he took off and face planted after he tripped up.  He also tried to toss some drugs while detained in the paddy wagon.

For the hip hop newbies, Too Short made a career for himself by teaming with the likes of Diddy, Tupcac, Biggie, Scarface, Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri.

Most recently, he appeared on Wiz Khalifa’s “On My Level.”  He hasn’t had much solo success since his 2006 joint, Blow The Whistle.  He claims to have had a verse on a song recorded for Dr. Dre’s Detox album called “Man’s Best Friend.”  Since Dre is busy slingin’ headphones instead of finishing the decade-old project, we’ll have to take his word for it.
