Speaking with TMZ at an event in Los Angeles yesterday (April 19), Bay Area emcee Too Short was asked about the marijuana enthusiast holiday 4/20 coinciding with the birthday of Austrian-born Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s birthday. Responding to the question, Too Short explained feeling like the German dictator “got his” by the end of his life.
“I’m not necessarily a Hitler hater,” Too Short said initially. “I know what went down. But as in time and era and where we’re at now, I think Hitler got his. He is where he’s supposed to be. What happened was supposed to happen. The Germans didn’t take over the world and wipe out all the Jews and the Blacks and everybody else so it’s cool.”
Later distancing the holiday from the Nazi leader’s birthday, Too Short went on to say “Hitler can share 4/20.”
“Hopefully Hitler was some kind of a cannabis user and he earned the motherfucking pleasure of being born on a great day,” he said. “But Hitler was gone before that even came along so it can’t be associated with him. It’s not even a part of that.”
Earlier in the interview Too Short cited his Bay Area background as the motivation behind celebrating the 4/20 spirit every day of the year.
“We celebrating 4/20 today,” he said yesterday. “Today is 4/19, we celebrated yesterday. I just left Denver, the whole Cannabis Cup stuff going on. I performed up there. I’m from the Bay. 4/20 man. 4:20 PM and [4:20] AM, not just the day.”
Too Short reportedly performed at a free concert in Denver on Friday (April 18). The rapper was just one of many performers during the week including appearances from Ice Cube, Cheech and Chong, and more.
Earlier this year Too Short announced a since-released 11 track LP entitled Weird Science. Released via the San Francisco imprint MalLabel Music the album was released on March 25 and features one original track and 10 remixes featuring rapper Oh Blimey.

This is a weird and unnecessary article.

happy birthday uncle adolf
Officer ricky put a real nigga behind bars #free charles manson

its interesting that he says he isnt a hitler hater. ive never heard anyone ever say anything like that ever in life. thats pretty crazy. he makes up for it a little bit with some of the other stuff he says but why does he say he isnt a hater that makes no sense to me
why everyone is afraid of being a hater is beyond me. I embrace it especially towards evil dictators and people who commit genocide.
His dumb ass shouldn’t even be allowed to comment on anything Europe- or History-related.
remember when he told middle school kids how to finger blast in a video on xxl that got a lot of people mad?
Man as a German i can’t believe what that fool’s saying.
I mean Hitler is probably one of the baddest people in history,
you gotta hate him, or you’re crazy or in Too Short’s case totally dumb!
whoever created this 4/20 shit probably did it so they could have idiots celebrating that bastards birthday low key. you have to ask yourself why the fuck did someone even ask too short this or put this shit up on here as an article anyway. i see you sneaky bastards, everyone aint sleep.
hitler is bigger than jay-z!
eminem is bigger than jesus
damn, yo…. Colombine was 15 years ago
21 gun salute
Speaking of Hitler, why haven’t African Americans received reparations like the Jews have?
Cause the society we’re living in is anti-black (and let’s be honest, most of us are too lazy/alienated to even claim those reparations)
White Jews received reparations because whites are the ones giving the reparations.
The associations in this article are all kinds of wrong…
So I went to church this morning, and just blazed one at 4:20 this afternoon. Later on, I’m going back to church to shoot up the place because Hitler hated Jews (which Jesus was one) and also doing it in honor of Columbine. This is the best day ever!
SMH bish whet??? That’s like a crackhead tryna talk about politics lmao some people should not be allowed to speak on certain subjects
Hitler certainly did not want to wipe blacks out-where is the evidence of that? Read what Jesse Owens had to say about him and how well he was revered at the 1936 Olympics or how prominent Owens features in the movie Olympia. Hitler and NS Germany were against race mixing (as were Ali, Malcolm X) and their opinion was that ever race should have their own nation.
Black troops, Tatars, 60,000 Muslims fought for Germany in WW2 against Communism.
he didn’t want to wipe out blacks but he says in mein kampf he basically sees blacks as subhuman and therefore not a threat.
…and he hated France for using african troops.
LMAO he didn’t want blacks dead? So let’s talk about the 500,000 black people that died during the Nazi regime. Black folks still get terrorized in Germany behind his ideology. And since you mention Jesse Owens, Hitler almost gave his track and field team the gas chamber cause they got smoked by a “filthy american animal” His words.
Are you aware of the fact that he had a concentration camp in Namibia WAAAAAY before the ones in Europe?
Its so funny, he talks like an idiot, yet everything he is saying has intelligence in it
who cares about Hitler???
12 million dead people do.
i dont really think those 12 million dead people do because you know… they’re dead but their families on the otherhand
Stop hatin on Hitler yall! If Germany won the war hip-hop would be in a better state these days. There would def not be any Drakes or Mac Miller.
What an uneducated muthafucka.
i wouldnt even call him an artist. he is just a worthless eccentric. but neverhteless, these “artists” should learn to shut the fuck up and stop spouting their mouth tot he media so oftenj
Yeah I don’t hate anybody alive or dead, hitler killed millions of people who he viewed as non-white and millions of Native Americans were slaughtered by white settlers, 100 million Africans died at the hands of Europeon colonialists, slavers, and haters so it would be difficult to have hatred for one lone individual when millions of people like him have committed the same atrocities and genocide.
Yeah Hitler is dead now but how long did he live after his alleged suicide? Yeah Hitler got his alright he got his right outta the jungle!
Hail Hitler
$hort Dogg sounds hella ignorant on what he’s saying. Fuck Hitler!!!
he knows what he’s doing and i do agree with him
