Big Pimp, one half of the Alabama group Dirty, takes time to discuss their latest album “Married To The Game.”
By : Lashae of cutthroatbaby ltd.
1. Real Street Niggaz “Real Street Niggas” is that old Dirty. We giving them that gangsta because a lot of niggas in the game are on that phony shit. The way the game done changed now, if you ain’t real, you ain’t shit. So, this is basically for them niggas that are real street niggas. Whether you grind or whatever you are doing, if you a real nigga that’s what this song is for. We always been into gangsta music, so we had to give them something to set ‘em off.
2. She In Da ClubYou already know. For the Dirty albums, we always cater to every aspect of every person’s experience. Things we go through or what others may go through. So “She In Da Club” is catered to the women. You can find a girl in the club dancing with a freaky dress on, a purse on her shoulder, and a cup on her hand. They be like “fuck these hoes, cause I’m the baddest bitch.” its basically self explanatory. That’s what I had in mind when I wrote the song, females love the club.
3. He Want Da Money (Feat. Rich Boy)It’s something like a get like me type song. Like spending 4 gz, we done did that shit. You got a young nigga coming up and he want the money, but he don’t know how to get it. So basically he’s asking me, and I’m going through the stuff and telling him what he need to do and how he need to do it. That was kind of like a different twist to a lot of songs like that.
4. Alien (Feat.Mr. Blue)That got a lot to do with the feelings that we have had as far as being with different labels. They really didn’t show us the love that they showed other artists that was on the label. Its alienating when you go to another city and you got this label signing this many artists from this city and out they comfort zone. We coming from Alabama and we up there, we feel funny cause it be like damn, is a muthafucka gonna get behind us like they suppose to? But they put money behind this muthafucka and this muthafucka. Why ain’t we getting that same love? So that’s how that song came from that aspect and just being in a different comfort zone.
5. Gave My Life
You know how you get to that point where you climbing that mountain and it just seems like no matter what it is you just keep going and you can’t reach the top. You just wanna give up, but you been in this shit so long, how can you give up? A nigga ain’t getting nothing out of it, but you just can’t give up. I feel like everything I’ve done did around my career from rapping in the third grade, my life has been catered to this rap business. It’s been dedicated to this music, catered to doing hole in the wall shows, signing and being dropped to labels. It’s just been my whole life and I feel like I’ve given my whole life to this music business.
6. She Getting Money (Feat. Da Black Paris Hilton & Ihop)It’s the movement of the women as far as women getting their own. You got women that go to the club to have some fun and me hearing from women I know. The first thing a dude do is try to holla at them. I felt like that was a topic for a song. If that’s how women feel like every time they in a club that a muthafucka is trying to holla at them and trying to fuck with them by flashing money. What they got to realize, there’s women out there that got more money in they pocket than you. It’s a new time right now. Women getting money just like men getting money. It’s showing that women are in power right now and just doing their thing.
7. Stickem (Feat. Lil BurnOne)It’s basically a rob song. When that heavy Chevy pull up, everybody run. It’s the kind of life we used to live and we talking about what we did. It’s another example of giving them that Dirty and that hard shit regardless.
8. SuicideThat song derives from having two homeboys that were close to me that killed their selves. One killed their self back in 2005 and one just recently. He killed his girl, killed his mama, and then murked himself. How could I not talk about it? Whatever he was thinking about when he did it, no one will ever know that. I gave some situations on my song and how I feel like why a nigga would want to kill himself on. Like not being able to get money, not being able to take care of your kids, or just fucked up. Sometimes a nigga be so depressed that he can’t take it no more. I’m letting everybody know from the eyes of how he might feel or felt at the time that he did that. The bears of the world just hit your shoulders so hard that it would make you want to kill yourself.
9. Put It On Paper
I love that muthafucka. It’s like speaking the truth. It’s like once it’s written like as far as the bible. Once it’s written and recorded, it’s the truth. It was some thoughts that needed to be said. I wanted to let folks know that it’s the realest shit that I’ve ever wrote. I’m speaking on the Atlanta movement and how everybody is sticking together and why is my city not sticking together like they should be. We need to do better as people regardless.
10. Stay On Da GrindPretty much to stay on that initial hustle. Whatever you started with, at times you be wanting to give up, but you got to stay on it, no matter how bad it might get. Some days you might need to eat Vienna Sausage or Roman Noodles. If you in that grind real, no matter what it is, whatever your grind is, just stay on it. If it benefits you and family, stay on it, and don’t give up.
11. Drug Money (Feat. Lil Burn One)
It’s talking about how niggas living of drug money and how they get it. Just handling your business and doing your business.
12. Da WorldThat’s kind of like a very touchy situation. That deals with me and Gangsta coming up in the game and reasons being it. Sometimes you give your all and it’s like you getting nothing back. The Karma ain’t even coming around like it supposed to. I feel like Karma supposed to go both ways. You do some bad shit and that shit turn around on you. You fuck around and do some shit like lose two stacks in a crap game and get robbed the same night. Karma take so long to come round and benefit you, you be like fuck the world because it ain’t doing nothing for me. That’s how a nigga feel at times and you feel like you the only person in this world and you be like fuck the world. How can I love this world when it don’t love me? A lot of shit that goes on in the world you turn your nose to because it ain’t benefiting me.
13. Born In The Ghetto (Feat. Khujo Goodie)That one crazy man. We always give them the bad side and good side. If we talk about drug money or fuckin’ with hoes or ridin’ on 26’s, I gotta give the other side to it. Give a nigga both sides to the game and let them know that it ain’t just this side, that there is that side to and that’s where we need to be.
14. Shit ChangedWhen we first came into the game we felt like the muthafuckas that you got riding with you is always going to be with you. That’s the concept that you go into the game with. Why, when as soon as you jump that thing off, they feel like you owe them. You got muthafuckas that really think you owe them. You trying to change, but you always got muthafuckas that gonna keep bringing you down and make you feel bad for being successful. I have people coming to me like “oh you big money now?” Just some off the top shit like that. A lot of rappers that’s in the game see shit change, but you gotta be on the other side to actually notice that, because it’s too far in the game once you make it. You got this side and you got that side and it depends on what side you gonna ride with. If you a street nigga and still in the street, no matter what you do, a nigga gonna still act funny with you. You ain’t gotta have an album out. Muthafuckas just act funny with you and I just felt like it’s a vibe that everyone that has went though.
Big Pimp’s overall thoughts of “Married To The Game.”
I feel like this album here was a real calm album. It was none of that bust a nigga head like we used to. I wanted to go this route because of songs like “Suicide and “Shit Changed.” I got more positive songs on here than those last albums. I think that comes with growth. You can only give a muthafucka so much negative before you realize that it ain’t good saying that. Give a nigga some knowledge with the shit you feed. If it takes giving a nigga a club song for them to get the album and just to get the message, than that’s what you gotta do. This album here we grew more and we had to give them some knowledge.
