Dubcnn had the great opportunity to sit down with a legend in the game, the Bay Area’s own Too Short, at his recording studio in Oakland. We speak to Short about age limits in Hip-Hop and his motivation to never stop rapping. Short compares the grind on the streets pushing tapes out of the trunk to today’s world where artists grind online and blast their music out to blogs and connect with their fans on the internet. As one of the first artists to talk about pimpin’ and mackin’ on records, we ask Short his opinion on Kat Stacks and other “e-groupies” trying to get some fame off sleeping with rappers. Too Short tells us about the creation of E-40′s smash hit “Bitch” and how he ressurected an old record and turned it into a big success. We also get a few words on Short & E-40′s upcoming collaboration project “The History Channel” and why this time it’s coming out for real. We end off the interview learning about Too Short’s upcoming digital EP “Respect The Pimpin’” dropping December 14th and Short explains why digital is the way to go for the future – even for a seasoned vet like him.
