The World Motivation
This is the biggest misconception about the Bay - people think that we're L.A... Very different stuff. L.A. has its swag.

I've always looked like I have a sort of bad-boy image as Too Short. People take that for face value. I kind of like that. I like the image. It suits me well.
I think Jive was just a shady label that they didn't want artists in the same room like, 'Hey, what you making?' Like I never worked with R. Kelly, I never worked with Q-Tip. I never worked with anybody that was on Jive. I never did a song with KRS-One.
I wanna make more songs than anybody, I wanna be the oldest rapper who is active.
When I finish contributing, I feel like I've left enough to where people are gonna say, 'They got that from Too $hort.' I'm not gonna fade away.
A lot of the guys that work for Warners and make these big films there all come from the same film school. Like Michael Bay, Zack Snyder, Tarsem Singh - they all went to Art Center in the College of Design. And there's a certain expectation when these guys graduate.
I'm really into California art from the '60s. I like a lot of Bay Area artists, like Nathan Oliveira and Bruce Conner.
I'll never forget beating Steve Spurrier and Tampa Bay.
The Bay Area has welcomed me. I feel proud to be able to represent the area and everybody here. The people have never been anything but good to me and shown me love.
I love the Bay Area.
