Not too long ago there was a rumor going around on Twitter that legendary rap artist Too Short had died...Well I'm here to let you know first hand that those rumors are all completely false, because I just talked to him. Too Short is very much alive and he has a lot of new interesting things in works.

While chillin' backstage with Too Short after his show at the Harold Washington Culture Center in Chicago he let me in on his new plans:

"I'm working on a project with E-40, you can almost say its almost like Doc Dre and The Detox album"

His new album with E-40 is not the only thing we can expect to see from this Oakland born rapper as he also has a new book coming out about his life journey.

"It's just a book about Too Short and Oakland and my experiences, my journey"

Too Short on keeping his music on the scene:

"I just don't want no one to say you had to stop, here's proof there is an age and you can't rap past that age...cause I was a kid when rap came out how are you gone take it form me? I was there when it was invented, I was one of the first ones to except it."

Too Short on whether he will ever stop rapping:

"I'm gonna do it until I really find that line where they are like you 'ain't cool anymore'"

For all you MC's out there listen up Too Short gave me the top reason he sees other rappers fall off again and again... after 20 years in the game ...I think he knows what he's talking about! Too Short keeps it all the way real in this interview, check it out!
