Todd Anthony Shaw (born April 28, 1966), better known by the stage name Too Short (stylized as Too $hort), is an American rapper, producer, and actor. He is best known for his hit songs like "The Ghetto" and "Blow the Whistle". Too Short is one of the very few musicians to have been able to collaborate with both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. during the height of their careers.
Too Short is credited as being one of the pioneer rappers of West Coast hip hop. Many of his rap lyrics are about pimping, drug use & sexual antics.
Shaw was born and grew up in South Central Los Angeles, California. In the early 1980s, Shaw and his family moved to Oakland, California. He was a drummer in the band at Fremont High School in Oakland. In the mid 1980s, Shaw produced custom songs (called "special requests") for people with his high school friend, Freddy B. In 1985, Too Short had his first release, Don't Stop Rappin' which, along with the following three releases, featured raw, simple drum beats from a LinnDrum drum machine. This was also one of the first hip hop records to use the word "bitch" - a word which became one of the rapper's trademarks and was the focus of subsequent raps such as Ain't nothing but a word to me.

It documents the creative process of the creation of the show and is useful for Creative Media students and fans of the show itself.

All of the good scenes from the Life's Too Short Easter Special
Series creator Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras) and actor Warwick Davis (Return of the Jedi, Harry Potter, Willow) discuss their new TV series. Life's Too Short is a fake documentary about a talent agency for small people, 'Dwarves For Hire', that is run by an actor (Davis) who takes the best jobs for himself.
Too Short has a long and prolific career, to the point that you might not expect the Bay Area rapper to remember the many songs he's recording. In a new interview, Short proves that's far from the case. We played him some short snippets of some of his songs, which caused him to instantly launch into some detailed stories on his songs. He goes into detail on songs from the 80s to present, and he can easily place where and when each track was recorded, as well as the concepts and events that inspired them (fictitious or otherwise). Short is celebrating his 30th year in the game this week at SXSW, and HNHH is sponsoring the event. Details are here.
Legendary rapper, Too $hort steps into the Smokebox with B-Real to discuss influences, longevity, the evolution of hip-hop and it's culture, The Notorious BIG, Snoop Dogg, his upcoming album, evolution of marijuana, & much more while enjoying Dr. Greenthumb's private stash with the phuncky feel tips! http://breal.tv Subscribe: http://bit.ly/1lhtiCY http://facebook.com/brealtv http://instagram.com/brealtv http://twitter.com/brealtv

Listen to the full podcast here: http://www.thegorgeousgirlsguide.com/the-g3-podcast In a sit down between rapper Too $hort and author Karrine Steffans for her new podcast The G3, the two converse about men wanting to be around other men rather than women, the empowerment of misogyny, and how finding a sexy female rapper is hard. At the beginning of the podcast, Steffans talks about how she has always felt comfortable around $hort despite him being surrounded by women all of the time. Short explains, "Whether I love to hang out with women, Whether it looks like he's a pimp, what kinda car I drive, however, I'm dressed... I'm ME." Too $hort explains his love for being around women, and that he doesn't understand why men tend to hang around other men. "I'm not one of those dudes who hang i...

Too Short and Karrine Steffans had an interesting conversation during her Gorgeous Girl's Guide to... podcast. Known for keeping it real and open about her sexuality, Steffans digs deep to get some answers from Too Short about his personal life and why he feels weird getting younger women these days versus how it was during his heyday. "Before, I was where I wanted to be—all up in it. The routine, I was doing it unconsciously." He admitted, "I run from myself, I even got analyzed by some dream analyst s*** and they just told me 'You're just running from yourself.'" Slowing down from his player ways, he recalls seeing the world as a "p**** market" for any desire. "A vagina was the main appetite for the night. I use to think of the world as a p**** supermarket." As the conversation progress...

[Chorus: Too $hort]
I want yo' girl, she's so damn fine
She's sexier and looks way better than mine
I want yo' girl, she wants me too
And if you don't, let her go, I'll take her from you
[Too $hort]
Watchin that ass made me lose my breath
She can leave with me, go cruise in my whip
Take her clothes off and do her like hell
If I don't take your girl, who would I get?
Nutted in her mouth and it looked like Crest
I said here, brush your teeth with this
And now she's soakin wet, what's next?
Me and yo' girl havin sex
I told her she could get it
She told me she was wit it
She know I want to hit it
Come back braggin, tell the homies I did it
I wish I could
Bang in the pussy like it's my hood
I'm strapped for the driveby
Turn her out with this "Up All Nite" life
[Chorus]
[E-40]
The grind is a terrible thang to waste
Try not to catch me a case, quarters dimes nickels and eighths
Parked in my lark at 3 A.M. in the dark
Gettin my dick sucked, but here come the NARC
Ooooh, tellin me to depart
Went to school with the nigga, the nigga used to be a mark
See me on the Lowenhart's skippin and skatin
Burnin Pirelli meat, gassin and brakin
Strikin through the trap with my beanie cap
With a throwaway 9 and some D in the back
E'ryday livin livin life as a savage
Fistfights and gun battles cause it come with the package
Well above average, mack game impeccable
Don't blame me if ya broad wanna get sexual
She got her legs on a player shoulder
Back bent like she doin yoga
[Chorus - minus half of first line]
[Dolla Will]
Dolla - she ain't never seen a hustler like this
15 karats on the right wrist
And ain't no tellin what's on the other hand
I'm like T.I., I keep a "Rubberband"
I'm eatin, them niggaz is fastin
I fuck off a rack on a pair of Fendi glasses
It ain't nuttin cause I'm Dolla Will
I keep a bitch lookin like she from Brazil
Some niggaz try but it's in me
If that's the kush she slip then I'ma knock {?}
I'm in the club, found one that's friendly
She say she with her man but tryin to come with me
[Chorus]
[Mr. F.A.B.]
BEEP BEEP~! IT'S MEEE
The yellow bus rider, Mr. F.A.B.
I'm the, dumbest of dummies that do it but with thizz
Let me borrow your broad, let me borrow your bitch
Give it here, pimpin I'll give her back
Leave her used, bruised, confused front to the back
"Beat It" like Mike Jack, I bet you won't like that
She lead them right back, man where yo' wife at?
Uhh, I like the way that she lookin
I don't care if she stolen wifed or tooken
I ain't trippin, I'ma take her down
Got the game from my dad and Gangsta Brown
I mean, I thought, I'm still thinkin
Hop in my scraper, what you smoke what you drinkin?
Do me cause I'ma sho' do you
What it dookie, yadda daa boo boo
[Outro: Too $hort]
I want yo' girl, she's so damn fine
She's sexier and looks way better than mine
