And then he came back to Dallas, rounded up four of his signees, and made a gangsta-rap record with N.W.A\u2019s <\/span>Straight Outta Compton<\/em> on the cover. <\/span>6WA<\/em> is the second group release from 600 Entertainment, named after the 600 block of Meadowridge Street in Ferris, Texas, where BigX and his people grew up. The whole thing is loaded with West Coast samples. From N.W.A.\u2019s \u201c8Ball,\u201d Eazy-E\u2019s \u201cReal Muthaphuckkin G\u2019s\u201d and \u201cBoyz-N-The-Hood,\u201d Ice-T\u2019s \u201c6 in the Mornin\u2019,\u201d Snoop Dogg\u2019s \u201cNuthin\u2019 but a \u2018G\u2019 Thang\u201d and more. BigX is staking his name on the lineup he built\u2014Rosama, MurdaGang PB, Yung Hood, KevanGotBandz, KaineMusic\u2014and claiming a lineage from 1,400 miles away while insisting Dallas is its own thing.<\/span><\/p>\nA million dollars in cash, split and handed straight to his mother. That\u2019s the first place BigX goes on \u201cFrom the Bottom.\u201d He\u2019d probably still be in the streets if he didn\u2019t have his son and daughter. He only started rapping to make life better for Carter. Couldn\u2019t start his car back then, now people get starstruck at Starbucks, and he throws the whole field away in one sentence:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHow you think we competin\u2019? You on the same bag, I just made me some millions off country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
