"The Too Short albums are not the autobiography of Todd Shaw." — Too Short

I've always had opinions on what was going on in my community. I always knew a lot of people listened to me, so why don't I speak on police brutality and things like that?

We can all admit this - women do it better when it comes to planning and shot calling, running households, raising kids.

In my opinion, the Bay is a trendsetting area.

I don't have to defend what I do for a job. Who cares what people say? If people don't see the humor in it, too bad.

Although I have made my career on dirty raps, I have worked over the years to somewhat balance the content of my music with giving back to the community.

I've never been competing with rappers about who's the best rapper. I've been making songs that people like.

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 could not have been a rapper in 1985 and thought, 'I want to be a millionaire.' That was not a realistic dream.
