Too Short On Bay Area Rap History, Mac Dre, 2pac, E-40, Luniz & Freaky Tales

History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 100: 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.
