Today's guest is a rapper out of Dallas, Texas. He has his new album, Take Care,
which he's on tour
with right now. He has hit songs, Texas, Whip It, Mm-hmm, and others. We're
grateful for his time.
Today's guest is Big X, The Plug.
Where'd you just come from? From touring? I'm going to move this down and you're
in touch, bro.
Where'd we just come from? Louisville, Kentucky.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, sir.
How was that? All right?
Yeah, it was good. It was good.
I mean, I didn't think, was it sold out? No. It was packed. 95%. Yeah, it was
crazy, though.
They got a lot of horses up there, too. I've been to the horse track up there.
Yeah, I was just going to say, don't they do like derbies and stuff?
Yeah. It's nice. Some of the horses are strong. Some of them aren't that strong.
What else has been going on? Yeah, I was just up in Montana. We had some shows
up there. Met some Native Americans up there.
Okay.
You ever met any Native Americans?
Like a real life one? I don't think so. I don't think so.
We met a couple up there. They're pretty cool, man. We was up at, I met, we
were at AutoZone up there and they had a couple Native Americans up there and
we met them.
And, yeah, they're just wild. And they have a lot of good weed, too, a lot of
times.
Oh, okay. Then, yeah, I probably would have bumped into a few of us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I heard this beautiful out there, Shibuza, that's one of my close friends,
and he was just out there shooting video.
And he was like, bro, I'm going to move out here. It's crazy out here.
He's so nice.
I got to make sure I stop by there for sure.
Yeah, it looks like you're on this planet, but on the best parts of it.
You look out there and they got all kinds of exotic animals, too, out there.
That's why I think, yeah, Native Americans have the best weed.
I've always heard that. I've never gotten to smoke any with them.
They got that shit that'll bring your dead relatives back.
They got that real, they got that soothsayer gas on me.
Do I want to smoke that?
Good point.
If they bring your dead relatives back, do you want to smoke that?
That's true. I mean, I guess if you owe somebody some money, maybe you just let
them be where they're at.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, and they had the best pets, too.
Think about it. Native Americans had the best pets, man.
Falcon, buffalo, eagles.
I'm scared of all that type of stuff.
Really?
I'm scared of any animal that's, for one, bigger than me.
So, like, horses, cows, I'm terrified of them.
Yeah, that makes sense.
And then just eagles and all that stuff, like, you can't really do nothing
about those.
So, if they fly down and grab you and rip skin off, you can't do nothing to
them.
So, you know, I don't do bugs.
I don't do exotic lizards.
I don't do snakes.
I don't...
Really?
I could see you with a nice bird, man.
With a bird?
Yeah.
I do have a bird.
My daughter's name.
Her nickname is Bird.
Oh, is it?
So, that's as good as it gets.
I was terrified right there.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I was terrified.
Why?
You how far away I am from Norwich?
Oh, it is?
Yeah, you kept your distance.
Wow.
Did you even FaceTime with that thing first, or they just brought him straight
up?
No, they just brought it.
Oh.
They just brought it.
Yeah, that kind of stuff is a lot, man.
Horses make me nervous, too.
They're just so big, and you don't trust them, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
And I don't trust anything that only can see out of the side of its head.
That, too.
That, too.
You know?
That's how I really feel about a lot of animals.
But did you ever have any pets growing up?
Yeah, a lot of dogs.
A lot of dogs.
What kind did y'all have?
Rottweilers.
Right now, I have a Cancorso.
I have two Pocket Bullies.
I have a Frenchie.
But just, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that actually looks just like my dog, Sasha, that's at the house right
now, with
the white patches and everything.
And does y'all have a chain on it?
No.
No, she's horrible.
She's bad.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you even pet her or nothing?
Yeah, no, you can pet her or whatnot, but she just, if she don't know you, she's
going
to go crazy.
Oh, God.
But once she's smearing you and she's good, then you're locked in.
I wouldn't even risk it.
See, I get scared getting high around dangerous animals.
That's one of my big things.
You know, I would have sometimes trouble smoking with the brothers when I was
young because
a lot of them would bring a dog with them.
And if we got high, it just made me too nervous, man.
I had to get out of my own car and leave everybody in there one time.
Damn.
Because I couldn't handle it.
Well, you might not want to stay away from that weed in Montana.
Yeah, I stay off that native stuff, man.
Thank you so much for joining us, bro.
No, for sure.
It's a blessing to be here.
Yeah, congratulations on all your success, man.
Sure, appreciate you.
It's exciting.
Yeah, I love listening to your songs.
They all have this beginning that kind of creates this, like, it almost feels
like it's
a start of a movie.
It's like, before you come in with the lyrics, it's like there's this, each one
has this ambiance
that gets going.
Who makes that?
How do y'all make that choice?
Like, how does that happen?
But I just, I've been with the same producers for about two, three years now.
Bandplay, Tony Coase.
And so we kind of just know each other's, like, souls at this point.
And so they just, you know, they go based off of what they feel like I would
mess with
in a song, and then they go from there.
Tony pick out the sample, Bandplay do the 808s, all the beatings on it, and
then they
just go.
They know I like, I'm a build-up person.
So that love, that beginning, that's my build-up.
Yeah, it almost feels kind of romantic in the beginning, some of them.
I love the shit, get you in the mood, get you ready, and make you want to hear
what
I'm about to say, so.
The video with the skydiving, did y'all really skydive in it?
No, I would never skydive in my life.
Really?
Oh, you'd go down quick.
Skydive, bungee jump.
I'm one of those people who believe in, like, I just feel like I would have a
heart attack
before I got, you know, I would faint or something, so now I can't pull my
string.
So I'd just rather not do it.
I'd just rather not do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know why some people do it.
I wonder if they have a lot of, yeah, the video, that was so tough, man.
How did y'all shoot it, though?
Did you guys have, like, a fake chopper or something?
A fake plane, a lot of air, and great acting.
Anybody want me in a movie?
There you go.
Yeah, you could be in, like, a paratrooper movie, man.
For sure.
And it don't look like I fell that fast.
It actually looked like I fell at a—
At a decent rate.
There it go.
There it went.
I would drop fast right then.
It did seem like you were—because I was kind of, when I was watching that,
because
usually if people are really flying, you see their cheeks going like that, and
I was
like, man, it seemed like he's kind of going at a casual speed.
But that's when you know you got a vibe, bro, when you can skydive at a casual
speed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where you can do it your own way.
Yeah.
What's happening in Texas, man?
Still hot.
How has your life changed over there?
Like, even in the past two years, probably.
I mean, for me, it hasn't really changed.
I still do the same daily stuff I would do if I was home.
Yeah.
But of course, it's—everybody know me now, so.
Now, instead of going to Walmart, I now have to do curbside pickups.
Now, you know, it's just stuff like that.
But as far as me and my home and my family, ain't nothing really changed.
We still—everybody kick it when we can.
You know, if not, I'm at home with my kids, chilling.
You know, nothing too major.
I don't—I'm as basic as I get.
I don't, you know, treat myself like a superstar or nothing like that, so.
Is it—does it feel overwhelming sometimes with people knowing you as much?
Is it sometimes a little bit like, what is it like?
Does it feel kind of like alarming sometimes?
Does it feel like what you thought it would feel like?
Because it's—a lot of people don't get to become—get to have that much
popularity, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just—so it's interesting when it does happen to somebody because it's just
a rare thing.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, as far as like, I was popular in school.
But then it's like, after that era faded out, I started doing stuff that it's
like you kind of don't want people to know, like, to know who you are.
And now it's like, I got to let people get this close to me before I know if
they're friends or foe.
So, of course, it bothered me, but, I mean, it come with the—it come with the
job, so.
Yeah.
I just got to keep big guys like him around me, so.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good choice there.
And, yeah, is it more dangerous?
Because I think, like, it's funny.
Sometimes if you're just like a regular guy, nobody will try to shoot you.
But then when you're a rapper, people try to shoot you.
Yeah, yeah.
You definitely—and I—it's just a lot of—you know, just like it's God in
the world, it's devil.
You know, it's the devil, too, man.
You know, the paths that some people decide to take, it's not always the right
one.
So, you know, you just got to kind of be prepared for it.
Yeah, you're a target because everybody feel like you got all this money, all
of this.
People don't even know, like, so a lot of these major artists, all they have is
that chain and that watch.
They don't got no money, you know?
So you just did what you did for a chain and a watch.
Me, I try to treat everybody as equal.
So, like, when a person walk up on me, I'm going to give you that picture.
I'm going to talk to you as if you're a normal person because that's what makes
somebody want to get you when you, nah, I'm good.
You know, that's what—when you show them that separation, that's when they
want what you got.
When you're too fancy, yeah.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah.
For rappers, it just feels like—it just feels a little bit more dangerous, I
feel like, you know?
Like, do you have to keep, like, an EMT with, like—like, do your—people
know CPR on your team and stuff like that?
Or what is it like?
I ain't going to lie, fellas.
If we get to that point, don't y'all put y'all lips on me.
Don't y'all put y'all lips on me.
Y'all find the nearest woman and y'all teach her how to do it, but don't y'all
put y'all lips on me.
Bro, you're going to have some girl sitting there watching a YouTube video.
Yeah, yeah, I can't—nah, I can't go through that, so.
Bro, you ain't going to feel it, bro.
You're going to be just—
But when I come to, that's a question you got to ask.
You know, when you come to and you say, what happened?
So there's going to be that guy that's in the back of the room, like, you know,
and I don't want to deal with that.
Yeah, that's true.
You're going to have to look him in the house.
You have to.
You don't know whether to say thank you or let's fight, you know?
Hey, hey, chill, bro.
Exactly, exactly.
Hey, next time, ask first.
Man, my partner's so funny that they ain't going to do nothing but make a joke
about it.
I almost died, and y'all talking about some—but y'all kids know who.
Y'all kids, you know, so.
You alive, but you're a little zesty, nah.
Just find the nearest woman.
Find the nearest woman for me.
I don't care how old she is.
Just find the nearest woman, please.
Yeah, that's what I just wonder.
I think I would keep—if I was in the rapper, I would have somebody bow and
arrow, somebody with a couple choppers on them, everything.
Dracos, everything.
Guns, fucking—
The little ninja thing?
Yeah, fucking hell, bro.
Magic metal, fucking ninja stars, a
