New Video: Too $hort feat. E-40, Yukmouth, & Zar The Dip- "Oakland"

Too $hort brings us a visual for his track "Oakland". The video touches on life in Oakland and more specifically a lot of the violence that goes on there. A few months ago in an interview with DubbCNN, $hort stated that he wanted to be the oldest active rapper. At the age of 45 he's well on his way.

The 50 Greatest Bay Area Rap Songs

I ran across this article today and I'd thought I'd share it with you all. Incase you're wondering why I'm posting about the Bay Area, that's where I'm from and still reside and we don't get enough shine!! Peep the article below.

The Bay Area has a chip on its shoulder when it comes to hip-hop. Everyone steals Bay Area slang, but the radio won't play Bay Area music. It doesn't help that The Bay's artists never want to deal with major labels, and then cry foul when they don't get spins any further east than Sacramento. This relative isolation has led to a certain kind of creativity, or strangeness, depending on how one sees it. Whether it's E-40's "Woody Woodpecker on crack" voice, Keak da Sneak's smoker's cough gibberish, Mac Dre's ecstasy-twisted dance moves, or Andre Nickatina's apparent obsession with Jungle Book, some of the Bay Area's most celebrated artists are downright bizarre and that's what people love about them.

Video: Too Short Says He Wants to be the Oldest Active Rapper

Too Short recently sat down with Dubcnn.com for an interview. There he let it be know that he was aiming towards being the oldest active rapper. He also spoke on his collab album with E-40.

"I think I just kind of set a goal for myself to play it as long as it can go,” Too Short said in the interview. “I just wanna do it longer than anybody else say they did it, I wanna make more songs than anybody and I wanna be the oldest rapper who is active. I didn't set out to do this, but now that I'm doing it, I might as well do it to the fullest, like Brett Favre?"

Too Short makes hits so I don't see his goal being unreachable. Watch the interview below.
