Big Hutch says that he wanted to call his forthcoming album The Big Hit because of the way in which it was being released.
“I had the concept to put out a record just on the fly, like a hit, as if I was contemplating a move and then just attacking the industry, basically,” Big Hutch says of his new album, which is scheduled to be released tomorrow (April 1), during an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “I woke up one morning, went to the studio, cut some records and then I decided to just put it out straight to my fans.”
The Above The Law rapper isn’t a fans of some things going on in rap, though. The Pomona, California artist made “Death To The Fake” with rappers who wear skirts in mind. He also had a specific target.
“What sparked that up was a lot of cats imitating the imagery of what we’ve done already,” says the rapper also known as Cold 187um. “I was going back and forth with the situation of Tyga using 187 and claiming he’s from this area when really he’s from a suburban area and he’s not really from the hood. You have these cats putting out these records and saying how real and true they are. In actuality, they’re really some square kids trying to take advantage of real things that happen in the ghetto and real things that really go down. They’re trying to sell these cats all of this, ‘I’m popping bills. I’m turnt up. I’m this gangster and I’ve got these tattoos and I’m hard,’ and really you’re a square kid from suburbia trying to act hard. I wanted to expose that.”
As he’s done throughout his career with Above The Law and as a solo artist, Big Hutch also wanted to discuss multiple aspects of the drug game. He does so on The Big Hit cut “Diaries of a Drug Dealer.”
“There are circumstances and things you have to be responsible for when you get caught up on the drug game,” says Big Hutch, who was released from prison in 2006 after serving more than two years on drug conspiracy charges. “What I really wanted to say in ‘Diaries of a Drug Dealer’ is that there are many things that can happen. I took risks to make money for people who haven’t really given a shit about me. I also took risks to help people. I’ve also been caught up in it. But at the end of the day, I still believe that if you do good in life, you can be prosperous. But there are situations that when you can get caught up, you’ve gotta deal with yourself.
“I felt bad because I got put in that situation, but I don’t have any regrets for what I’ve done,” he continues. “For me, doing a record like that was therapy. On top of that, it’s really to tell you the mind of a drug dealer and what he goes through. Yeah, he hurts. There’s people that do him bad. He’s also caught up, because even though the money is good and the lifestyle is great, when you’re caught up in that cell, you’re going to be praying to God that your family is OK, that people you love are going to be alright and you can make it that next day out of the situation.”

it’s funny cause it’s true
It’s easy to tell which rappers really live it and the ones that don’t. The ones that lived it will rap about how to escape it or avoid it. The ones that never lived it will glorify the lifestyle.
cough Rick Ross cough
The white rapper that raps about all that killing stuff with his dyed blonde hair, wigger you ain’t never killed nothing.
…..
end your life now if youre older than 16
slim shady is a persona you never see eminem on worldstar or dvds talking about hes in the hood with all his chains n he got shooters
Yep, went to school with Tyga at Adams Middle School in Redondo Beach, Ca! Black population = 2%. Very affluent area with a few “white” gangs.
I don’t listen to Tyga but I didn’t think he tried to make thug music
Anyone can take one look at Tyga and tell he’s frontin’. I have nothing against dudes from the ‘burbs, just own it and tell your story. There’s enough suburban kids that listen to hip-hop, it’s not like you won’t have a fan base that relates to you. But being a rapper now is like being a wrestler, you have to create this image and then do promos and shit as that character so that people believe you. The problem is, dudes like Tyga build up this image, then their music attracts the thug element, and they can’t even have fun performing at their concerts anymore because it’s a negative and violent environment that THEY created. Who do you think has more fun at their shows? Uncle Murda or Homeboy Sandman? I’d rather get paid 2 Gs to do a show with a positive and ‘hip-hop’ environment then get paid 10 G’s to do a show I might not make it through alive and I have to be escorted by six 500 lb bodyguards and shit. There’s a lot of rappers in over their heads. It makes me wonder if they’re puppets, just being punked into making music like that by a hidden hand.
You got Tyga confused for kendrick. Dr Dre and Kendrick grew up in the suburbs of the valley. Tyga’s the one that grew up in the streets.
Cosigns everything the op said. What’s wrong with positive songs like happy or the songs from will smith? Hell, ill take Mc hammer once in a while. Meanwhile, rick ross is suffering from living as the character he created.
Somebody smash 50 Cent for impersonating a white man.
what street in compton is tyga from then?
@Sensaye lmao homeboy sandman and paid shows have never been used in the same paragraph until now
“You got Tyga confused for kendrick. Dr Dre and Kendrick grew up in the suburbs of the valley. Tyga’s the one that grew up in the streets.”
Wrong. The OP got it right. Dre and Kendrick are from Compton while Tyga’s from the valley.
Thanks for stating something we all know.
Everyone can tell Tyga is bitchmade and from the valley. Gucci and Wake double penetrated his wifey and she only with him for his money.
Pointing out something we all know doesn’t make you any less of a desperate washed up hasbeen. I can’t take your shit talking serious when you signed with ICP’s record label, and take money from the worst group in the history of rap because your broke and need the cash. Now you dissing Tyga, who aint done shit to you, for the attention.
This dude would go on stage and suck a dick if he thought he’d get a check out of it. Sad but true
Tyga’s from the streets. He shot many gangsters down. Tyga’s from compton.
You got Tyga mistaken for someone else.
Tyga’s not from the suburbs. He’s from the streets of compton. Hutch got tyga mixed up for kendrick. Kendrick’s the one who grew up in the valley.
tygas from gardena but pays hoovers to scream 52 hoover which is in south central not compton, kendricks from compton
Everybody be on the look out for DX annual April Fools joke!
LMAO TELL US SOMETHING WE DON’T KNOW HUTCH, TYGA BEEN A BITCH FROM DAY 1
A.K.A. BIG HUTCH HAS AN ALBUM COMING OUT SO HE NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL TO GAIN ATTENTION
officer ricky is a great example he raps about being poor and struggling but grew up in miami gardens in a big house with a garden both parents well educated he played sports and went to university to study criminal justice had a good job
people like that are a complete joke and should be exposed and laughed at
You really are a stupid mofo aren’t you? I bet you’re one of the stupid cuntz on World Star Hip Hops fight vids, or even worse, your filming for it and shouting “World Star” like a fucking clown.
Music and an artists image 9/10 are fictitious. None of these so called gangster rappers are real gangsters, but saying they are sells more records, and that’s a fact.
Jay-Z sold coke, so what? 50 Cent sold coke, so what? Having a small part in crime and being perceived as gangster is all to help their music careers, and it has done massively for both of them.
And so what if Rick Ross had a good upbringing, he can still rap with the best on the scene at the minute (although I’m not really a fan), his cover was blown with the CO job, but it hasn’t harmed him has it?
So many artists claim to be something they’re not to sell records, and not just in rap. Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson, it’s all AN ACT to sell CD’s/concert tickets.
It’s not the fact that he’s fictitious in his music, tyga flat out lied and said he’s from Compton when he’s from some wealthy suburb. If he was more straight up with us about shit like that than nobody would say a thing about it.
” his cover was blown with the CO job, but it hasn’t harmed him has it?”
i would say it has harmed him, he should be platinum by now, especially after MTV called him the hottest rapper in the game only to be outsold by some new kid named kendrick.
this isnt ten years ago when your superhero gangster persona sells your records more than your music does
its about having people connect with and relate to who you really are and not some made up character thats why drake kendrick and macklemore are where they are
tell us something we don’t know..
Tyga is a bad mofo. Don’t fuck around with kid.
That skinny fucker kicks ass.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this guy before.
YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT RAP THEN. LEAVE THIS SITE IMMEDIATELY!!
Millions haven’t either.
after seeing Tyga on that MTV show we all know he’s a SQUARE
I think theres a difference between square and hood. just so they know
So, being poor and uneducated makes your body stronger than someone’s from the suburbs?
Dumbass being poor and uneducated is nothing for a suburban kid or any kid to aspire to be but you see it everyday, that’s the point being made.
What are you trying to say though? “People from the burbs are better, all you ghetto ni66ers shut the fuck up” or some shit like that?
how is your comment responding to the article? smh…
even my old ass granny sees tyga n taps the screen wit her walking stick sayin ‘Bitch-made nigga rite there’
Ay Hutch, don’t talk down on others like your shit don’t stink, I can say you ain’t from that walk of life either and real niggas will confirm that, should I remind you of that beatdown on 1991? Should I remind you you can’t even go to South Central without at least a hundred niggas backing you up? Should I remind you Suge beat you down with a squeegee at Death Row? LMAO old ass bitter nigga, it ain’t no secret that Tyga ain’t a real gangsta, just let the youngsta eat and fall the fuck back
We don’t believe you, you need more people.
Fuck you for letting him eat. Above the Law is better than all that Maybach and Young Money bullshit you listen to
When did I ever say I listen to the artists you mentioned? Anyway, I’ve got more shit to do than trying to discuss this shit. Bottom line is: both Hutch and Tyga are fake niggas.
What the fuck you talking about? If getting charged for Drug Conspiracy & doing time in the big house ain’t REAL, then what the fuck is??? I mean you bring up questionable events where Hutch took an L. Bitch-nigga douchebag deluxe you forget! Real niggas don’t WIN every battle or brawl they get into but that don’t mean they not REAL!!! If taking penitentiary chances isn’t REAL then what is? When was the last time your boy Tyga got charged with something & was sent to the PEN? Who can vouch for Tyga’s stripes. Now that he’s famous, he probably attempted to buy his way in like Lil with the Bloods!
I thought Tyga got put on Hoover on a bright and sunny saturday morning. Melvin from Babyboy AND Schoolboy Q was there! he even held Tyga man’s balls while the big homies kicked him repeatedly in them. They even played hop scotch after
If that aint gangsta then what is man!? smh tired of yall thinking you kno what goes on in the HOOD.
Nigga u just went full retard mode
Never go full retard!
Tell us something we don’t know, Hutch. The kid grew up in the suburbs of Compton.
funny how this nigga talkin shit bout others when he not even a gang banger himself
I don’t know who’s to blame: them Hoover niggas who seem to allow basically anybody to rep them, or the whole West Coast overall for even allowing this nigga Tyga to stay there.
The only people you should blame are his fans who allow him to stay relevant
The fans aren’t to blame. It’s just music. But in the same note, the “real gangstas” need to check him. If they really bout that life.
Yo Hutch how can you “expose” other people when you got skeletons on your own closet???
Break it down, what skeletons?
The fact that he’s made a career off telling people he’s a gangster when he actually never was one
if rick ross can do it anyone can
That aint news. Everyone knows tygas full of shit.. most rappers are
He said that about me??? Argh!
Hutch is just jealous that Tyga is getting his pockets ass raped and he’s not.
These are FACTS…I went to school with tyga…that nigga was square as fuck…little goofy annoying spoiled kid…used to chase hoes and get punked…i vividly remember him crying one day in p.e class
“i would say it has harmed him, he should be platinum by now, especially after MTV called him the hottest rapper in the game only to be outsold by some new kid named Kendrick”
Kendrick will never reach six albums or have the impact Ross has had in terms of just his name alone generating either hate or praise.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Kendrick’s just getting started and Ross has made no impact on anything.
Kendrick is 26 and already on album 2, Rick Ross didn’t even get his foot in the game until he was like 30 so Kenny is already ahead of him not to mention outsold everything Ross has done.
Kendrick is pop rap though. In that category, he loses to drake. Ross is gangster rap, which doesn’t sell as well as pop rap.
No, Kendrick is traditional hip-hop.
“Kendrick will never reach six albums or have the impact Ross has had in terms of just his name alone generating either hate or praise.”
Never reach six albums? Are you psychic or something? Kendrick’s name alone is already getting hate or praise, so that part is accomplished.
“Meanwhile, rick ross is suffering from living as the character he created”
Suffering all the way to the bank.
Not
lolololol
Shit, y’all little niggas better quit sleeping on tyga…he may make soft records, but dont get it confused…tyga holds it down in the streets. He paid his dues and put in mad work coming up. He runs with the hoovers and a few compton niggas…i heard about him getting a few niggas bodied….his hands skills is vicious too…i seen him fade 3 niggas at the convention center in inglewood
I’ve never laughed so fukkin hard in my life….
pure comedy
Convention center in inglewood? What are you talking about? The forum?
lol great to see a l.a. nigga stepping up to confirm the fact that BigPete is a fuckin liar
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!
“I seen him fade 3 niggas at the convention center in inglewood”
#DEAD
u obviously havent seen the videos of the dudes jackin his chain, and the other one when he had to get a undiscovered, schoolboy q, to give the little nigga his chain back lol
we already know tyga is a suburban kid tryna act hard…back in early 2000’s he was on an mtv show, and we saw who he really was
i would say it has harmed him, he should be platinum by now, especially after MTV called him the hottest rapper in the game only to be outsold by some new kid named kendrick.”
K Dot’s a crossover artist. He does songs with girl singers like anna wise that helped attract more people than ross.
no one knows who anna wise is, Ross had songs with way bigger female artists.
Anna wise is obviously popular if I know her.
What hit songs do she have? She ain’t popular. Also, K Dot is a hip-hop artist, not crossover.
“Anna wise is obviously popular if I know her.”
Dumbest. Comment. Ever.
“Anonymous:
Kendrick is pop rap though. In that category, he loses to drake. Ross is gangster rap, which doesn’t sell as well as pop rap.”
First Ross is as about as Gangsta as Miley Sirus and Kendrick doesn’t do pop he does what some call real hiphop
so your one of them backpack kendrick dickriders I see
Tyga claims to be hard?? since when?? But then again ive never listened to him… Coconut Juice was an ill song though I must admit
You can’t not “claim to be hard” when you’re claiming crips affiliation
he rappin about 187 and dope in songs standing next to rick ross

Big Hugtch 18k sold of The Big Hit. Tyga 200k sales on Hotel California.
“so if you go platinum, its got nothin to do with luck it just means a million people are stupid as fuck”
-Immortal Technique
Tyga belongs to a long bloodline of fake niggas that L.A. people has proudly embraced as their own
