Too $hort is a Bay Area legend, and he will forever go down in history as one of the greatest to ever do it. Hailing from Oakland and creating all his music based off real-life experiences in the city, read name Todd Shaw has built his own legacy from the ground up even claiming he never wanted to be famous in the first place. But when you have an innate talent to rap, perform, and entertain the masses, of course you step into your calling. Fast forward to 2022, Too $hort celebrates yet another legendary moment in his career: the formation of Mount Westmore. The supergroup hails 4 of the elites of West Coast hip-hop, joining forces with E-40, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg for the ultimate rap group. With their debut single Big Subwoofer, fans were left in a frenzy on what seems like just the beginning of an era to come.

Read below as we discuss how Mount Westmore operates, their recording process, his favorite VERZUZ besides his own, his forthcoming solo album, and more! AllHipHop: How are you Todd? Too $hort: Im good, getting ready to head over to a Mount Westmore video shoot in a few minutes. Were shooting in LA. Westmore is top secret, its a big deal. Ice Cube is running the show, Snoop Dogg is on set, its going down. AllHipHop: How fun are these shoots? Too $hort: At this point in my career, its just blessings. Its incredible that its going down at this level at this time for so long. AllHipHop: How was your show in Nashville? Too $hort: Nashville was sold out. Crowd loved it. Its the fourth, fifth Mount Westmore show. Every last one, Im sold out. They all sold out. AllHipHop: Whats your favorite song to perform up there? Because Big Subwoofer slaps. Too $hort: I like the beginning of the show. Im not going to tell you what happens, but the beginning is almost like a grand finale. It starts so big and it never goes down. I just like the reaction that people have when they see us, when they realize that Dang, Short did this song? Snoop did that song? 40 did that song? Cube did that song? When they realize what theyre into, its amazing and it never ends. I look at the faces in the crowd like this could go on forever, and it could. AllHipHop: Do you guys start the show with Big Subwoofer? Too $hort: It is the intro. Theres another thing that happens before that, but its basically the first song we perform. You gotta come see it, Im not going to tell people the show. They gotta come see it. AllHipHop: When are you performing in LA? Too $hort: Youre asking the wrong person about the schedule. All I got to say, its coming. You definitely know LA is gon get it. We jumped it off in Ontario, that was the first. It had a lot of energy, and that was probably the best place to start. It was in somewhere not necessarily Staples Center, but Ontario has a really nice arena. We jumped it off in there, we sold out. We gon double back around. Las Vegas, San Diego, LA, everybodys gon get a taste. AllHipHop: Big Subwoofer is so hard though, to come out as your guys first single. Its so West Coast and I love it. Too $hort: Well you know, without saying too much, the next single and the next one after that, theyre all amazing. There are dozens of songs that we recorded to follow. So Ice Cube is the coach, Snoop Dogg is the quarterback. You got E-40 in the kitchen cooking up everything, feel me? AllHipHop: So what you doing? Too $hort: Im the OG. Im the big homie. They all my little homies. Im the big homie. AllHipHop: Yall just dropped Bad MFs, out now on Youtube! Too $hort: I dont want to throw too much out there, but Mount Westmore was launched as a successful business. From day one, it was already in the profit range. The music is going to come to you in a very creative way. We all are in a position where were in control of our destiny. So how you get it and when you get it, its all premeditated. Its all a plan. Its going to extend, its going to expand, and its going to be everywhere. Just be confident. All of us say the same thing: people go man, when is Mount Westmore coming out? Its not gon be what you think. Its not gon be album drops June 1st! Its not going to be like that. Really just wait and enjoy how it comes to you. Because coming from Snoop, 40, Short, Cube, what do you expect? You dont expect regular, do you? We got a megasuperstar, a filmmaker, an entrepreneur. AllHipHop: What are you? T Read more
