About this episode
There would be no Bay Area rap without Too $hort - facts! For this special 100th episode, Dregs One sits down with $hort to talk about his legendary impact on West Coast hip-hop and some deep dives into the origins of Bay rap, drug kingpins investing in music, the emergence of E-40, Mac Dre, and 2pac, and much more. Too $hort also talks about the new "Freaky Tales" movie in theaters now, his upcoming (and possibly last) albums, and how he spoke his player lifestyle into existence. --Thank you to this episode's sponsors:Local Legend Labs: https://locallegendlabs.com - @locallegendlabs on IGReese Da Beast: https://www.unitedmasters.com/a/reecedabeast - @1officialreesedabeast on IGSip and Spray Sacramento: @_professionaladvice @cafecolonial916 on IG--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro01:45 Freaky Tales16:56 Bay Area players24:09 Freaky Tales movie27:45 Moving to SF & Oakland36:08 Independent rap in the 80s52:29 First rappers on the West Coast1:02:12 Shows and tours1:08:57 Putting on other rappers1:18:49 Mac Dre1:24:06 2pac1:31:55 Biggie, East Coast / West Coast1:41:48 Haters, “I Ain’t Trippin”1:45:50 The Luniz “Playa Hata”1:54:12 “It’s over for Too $hort”2:00:24 New albums
