In a new episode of HipHopDX’s Soulful Sunday’s Too $hort talked about his career and growing up in the Bay Area. Short was asked why his music never faced criticism from the government early on, similar to the likes of N.W.A and 2 Live Crew.
“I wonder if it can have anything to do with the fact that I wasn’t really utilizing a publicist to get me on front covers of magazines and stuff,” $hort said. “I got some covers here and there over the years, but it was only because of achievements. It wasn’t because someone was calling saying, “I need a cover for Too $hort.’”
