$hort shows Oakland love for the remainder of the nine-minute piece, stressing the importance of supporting local businesses and reflecting on his growing up in the city.
"It's not just important to support local businesses, but that's where you get the best shit to represent your town," he said. "If you are the type that likes to wear your city on your back, you gotta go to the little hood spots and specialty shops. I like to buy Oakland shit and wear it to other cities. I love all the shit - the food, the people - everything."
When Short Dog receives his proclamation from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff, he shows the city more love. "Y'all are celebrating Too $hort, but I'm celebrating Oakland," he proclaims. "I know for a fact that Too $hort didn't come from Todd Shaw, it came from Oakland, California."
