Karrine Steffans and Too Short had an interesting conversation regarding the rapper's legacy over his 30 years in the industry, influencing other rappers pimp personas, and whether calling a woman a "b****" is a term of endearment.
While some may look at Too Short's music and lyrics as misogynistic, he says this generation forgets it was him who impacted other rappers, which have led to chauvinistic content. "The trickle down is a mother f***** because when I started this s*** talking about I'm a player, Short Dog's a pimp... it was no one saying that s***." He noted that West Coast legends like Ice-T and Snoop Dogg also got the idea from him, however, acknowledged that he wasn't a direct component to this generation's trend, but was indeed their idols inspiration for it. "Too Short didn't influence you to be that way, but I influenced all those other guys," he said.
Although Too Short admits that his sexist act is just his persona, he goes into why he feels male fans of every race take his persona literally and use the wrong delivery when approaching women and also explains why the statement "b****, suck my d***" is "like a term of endearment."
