In recent interviews (including on the "History of the Bay" podcast), Too Short explained exactly why he consciously avoided hanging out excessively with Tupac back in the day, even though they ran in the same circles and collaborated. 🤔
Short Dawg reveals he saw Pac's intense ambition and readiness for the streets early on ("He wanted the streets"). He felt that introducing Tupac to his own East Oakland crew could be like "oil and fire," potentially encouraging Pac's ambitious nature down a dangerous path. 🔥
Too Short made a "conscious effort" to keep Pac separate from certain elements of his circle, stating he specifically "didn't want to be a bad influence on 2Pac" and wanted to avoid the potential guilt if things went wrong through his connections.
💯 Doggie Diamonds delves into Too Short's candid reasoning, the environment of the West Coast rap scene at that time, and the weight of influence between legends. What does this admission tell us about the choices artists made during that volatile era?
