__________________________
Oakland legend Too Short spoke to VladTV about opening up for UTFO, making music for 75 Girls Records and Tapes, and being the first rapper to openly rap about pimp culture. "I had the angle because in Oakland, I had been closely exposed to the pimp and h** game, the lingo of it, the visuals of it, the reality of it, and I was studying it and incorporating it into the music." Watch above.

I still wonder why Short, Eazy & Luke never did a sing together.. S/O to playboy short he's a legend out here in Oakland 👑

[@404kidd2]

How he survived "Freaky Tales" without catching aids is legendary

[@RealJamesTheP]

404 Kidd right lmao

[@404kidd2]

Tony Montez RawDawgn yo bitch all night

[@scarecrow2811]

This guy makes me feel old and young at the same time. I was first turned on to Too Short when "The Ghetto" came out. I was like 8. They used to play it all the time on the radio.

[@waltergibson2339]

Sucka Free My Dad Played It So Much

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

I remember when $hort was slinging 75 Girls tapes out the trunk of his car in front of my high school. Real hustle.

[@latinoamerica1822]

I like the fact that he seems so down to earth even with all the fame, money, success, materialism, etc.

[@mackschaub9918]

[@bpm6346]

Ma Ti What up DOE

[@lukejamesbgn]

A true icon!

[@TheTripleD]

People use the word "legend" too loosely. Not everybody's a legend. Too Short is a REAL OAKLAND LEGEND. I remember that fool went to live with his moms in Arizona for a while . He was so much of a Oakland legend then the whole city was looking for him. "Where's Too Short?" Then next the rumors started circulating..niggas thought he was locked up, smoked out, Or got shot. The Town was fiending for some New Too Short music. Shit was crazy. He addressed all that shit in that "I Ain't Trippin'" song. When that fool performed Dope Fiend Beat , "You know what I Mean", or Freaky Tales in Oakland you ain't hearing him rap, it'll be like thousands of Oakland niggas and bitches reciting every word. That fool's a true legend. Freddie B was a muthafucka too, "Smokin pure coke with Thai stick, leaning on my car, getting at a bitch." Legendary shit.

Vlad always coming through with the historical interviews! 👍🏻

[@troyfrederick53]

djvlad Too Short isn't an MC he's a rapper. MCs are lyricists

[@ChristianDeLaPena]

Troy Frederick How is Too Short not a lyricist? He might not be Tech N9ne Lyrical or Immortal Technique lyrical but he's definitely going in the books for being story telling lyricism you could close your eyes and picture what he says on his classics and most of his songs!

[@malcolmagee]

All these artist are legends

[@TONEakaSHOW]

[@hakeemthedream549]

Just a little FYI: Dean Hodges got the name "75 Girls" from a line in Johnny "Guitar" Watson's song, "Gangster of Love". He says, "... I rope 65 girls, I kissed them all at the same time.."

[@meowcat9636]

I have that CD, talking about the sheriff's wife, great musician.

[@Whotiquilus]

.... Man keep Short coming ... I love listening to his stories

[@thataurus2492]

In unsung people that knew him stated he couldn't sell records in stores he wasn't popular enough but he was popular in the streets so he had a lot of street cred it's crazy how people sleep on him

[@christianwilson3437]

Thats right so many speakers blown out , thank you. Too Short

[@overstandinggod3410]

I fucks with Too $hort hard body. I'm from NY, and my favorite album is "$hort Dog's In Da House". I remember when $hort was nominated for a Grammy for "Ghetto". He was shocked, but he played it off smooth. Happy for his success.

[@denzellima3079]

RIP Cougnut IMP

[@Kam-Dios-]

Excellent Short Dog series! This a story that needs to be told,chuuuuuch!

[@bigkeezo]

Don't Fight The Feeling was the party starter back in the 80's man

[@LaCheleWallace]

_Shorty the Pimp_ is my favorite album from you, $hort. But then...you came out w/ _Gettin' It (Album Number Ten)._ Anything g-funk is all right w/ me. You got it goin' on, $hort. Just flat down.

[@overstandinggod3410]

I knew from day 1 $hort was talking about real pimpin'.

[@itsmeslim9223]

[@ElChino925]

I need a freak is my favorite too short song

[@vladtv]

that was a remake

[@Novg]

Dope fiend beat is my favorite too!

[@rhuttrho88]

"We not pressing up wax, we doing fucking cassettes. Turn the fucking bass up!" I'm glad he did say that. I didn't catch Too Short until summer 88, life is Too Short. I heard the clean version on the radio. Then I got the whole tape and find out he had an older album. I hit high school and you was in the know if you knew about "Freaky Tales." Dope Fiend Beat. Hahaha I'm typing as I'm listening and Vlad is saying what I'm typing about Dope Fiend beat. Also how even though Born to Mack was first, most of us heard Life Is Too Short first, then got hip to it. I was way in the south though.

[@KingIzKash]

Hip Hop Legend...Salute!

[@STP.Productions]

Vlad...Get at Netflix...We need a Too Short film

[@fargeeks]

HipHopR&BLover Jon I heard only one by too short where he sings about his dick and then later on the lady starts singing about saying hell no!! to his desires

[@TheEkjordan22]

I remember the first time I heard Born to Mack I was a teenager... that shit change my whole fucking life LOL

[@richardjones5051]

Gotta have that Too $hort movie or book or both. Beeeeeeitch!

[@smiley6168]

I remember my oldest brother had a vinyl record of The Funky 4 + 1 with MC Jazzy Jeff.. when Will Smith came out I always thought he stopped rapping & started to DJ..never knew there were 2 Jazzy Jeffs

[@jonathanvillalobos7994]

+M perial FeeZe Yeah the M.C.Jazzy Jeff sued D.J.jazzy Jeff back in the day for stealing his name,but Idk what the outcome was.I think he sued jive records too.

[@m.perial_feeze]

Posway Bentley likewise.. I guess their names weren't copyrighted back then.. unless the MC/DJ was enough for fans to differentiate the 2

[@m.perial_feeze]

Jonathan Villalobos oh ok that makes sense.. Jive shouldn't have ever let that happen
