I did a long ass interview with him, it's going up later this week, here are few early previews:
Dubcnn: Is G-Funk still a factor in 2008?
I think so! I mean, the reason why is, it's just gangsta shit and funk! So of course. As long as you're doing it and you're vibing like that, I think so, because music is timeless! Like for instance, people ask "Is this relevant, is that relevant?" If the guys that created it and innovated it are still doing it, then of course! That's like saying "Is Rolls Royce relevant?" It just has to have that twist on it. I don't only do G-Funk, I do a lot of other funky shit! But, the whole thing about it is that, people wanna know where I'm at with it at this stage of my career, and they might want to hear that. So for me to predict what you might like is wrong, because still like what you liked before, as a consumer. You got to always feed them the flavors and then sprinkle new flavors also.
Dubcnn: Do you have a relationship with Dr. Dre?
No, I'm not in contact with Dr. Dre at all. Not that it's a issue or whatever, but I could give a shit, because nobody give a shit about me. I'ma keep it real with you. I don't have any contact, any situation, nor do I desire to even be in contact with somebody like that, who don't have no love for me, basically. You know what I mean? It's sad, because I'm the type of guy who would give you my last, I help you, you ask me things, I help you. Do you think anybody gave a fuck about me when I got out of prison? No! For real, I'm just gonna keep it real.
This is my first interview, it's gonna be the realest. But no, I don't have a relationship with him, we don't talk, we don't compare notes, none of that. And this is a person that was once close to me and basically taught me everything I know as far as making records.
Dubcnn: The other day you were telling me someting about how the West Coast shouldn't trying to imitate what's hot, or something like that?
Yeah, you gotta realize. West Coast, we created our own industry, basically. Like for instance, the early records that came out from the West Coast, were straight hood records, that blew up to be household or to be in the mainstream in other words. What we're saying is, we never had to do that. A lot of these people who are doing records, they look at it like pop music.
...
When you look at Hip-Hop, it's about individuality, it's about your theory. If you were a kid from the Bronx, you could know what kids in Compton are doing. If you were a cat from Jersey you could know what these cats are doing in Pomona. That's what it allowed us to do. If I start rapping like I'm from Batton Rouge, but I'm from Pomona, how special is it anymore? You dig? That's where the flaw is. [...] That's what always intrigued people about Hip-Hop, that's what always lured people to Hip-Hop, more so than anything.
...
You got people like Dr. Dre, who invest in different people from other markets, not taking anything away from these people, they're very talented, but he won't invest into the West Coast! You leave it to where Above The Law gotta get a independent deal, DJ Quik gotta get a independent deal, WC gotta get a independent deal, when we could be in a major setting, and working up under your umbrella! And we're all self contained, to where we could pave the way for new artists, it wouldn't even be on him! You feel me? But if we can't get up in the grand scheme of things, where do we end up at? We still end up doing what we did in 1989, my man! Still scraping to get in the industry again! You know?
Those are just a few excerpts from the 1hour+ conversation, I just wanted to let ya'll know what's coming, be on the lookout for the full interview coming real soon!
-
interesting :) will read the full interview when it drops
-
cool. cant wait for the whole shit. good 1 nima.
-
Dope shit, will check this out right when it drops.
-
thanks Nima, can't wait for this interview
-
Thanks. I'm hoping Hutch can reinvent G-Funk in some way, because in 2008 the G-Funk sound is not gonna fly, as much as I wish it would.
-
interesting :) will read the full interview when it drops
-
Nice! Can't wait for the interview and lookin forward to his Album!
-
Dope shit, will check this out right when it drops.
-
props for excerpts, should be a cool read when you release it.
-
Props! That sounds real good, Hutch is one of my favorites!
In theory Snoop should holla at him because having such a producer and rapper on its team can bring him to another level! But that is only theory because I don't know if the both get along well.
-
Glad To hear from Hutch, Im still a ATL Loyal'ish 6 + years later..
-
I got a question,that Iīve tried to ask you (the staff) before.
How come the dubCC community canīt submit questions anymore?
Thatīs the reason I signed up in the first place, :P ;) :laugh:
I submited a gang of questions for the RBX interview that never went down. :-\
I Know that it is not your (dubCNNīs) fault that it didnīt go down. ;)
Anyway looking forward to reading it ;)
Well really, we still do it for some interviews, but a lot of time it's either because the interviews are spontaneous, or because the past few times i've done it, the post questions thread got twice as many replies as the thread about the interview going up on the site so im like okay, they ask the questions but then when they get answered those same people don't come drop any feedback, you know what i mean?
but it's definitley not something we've stopped doing purposely, ill try to keep it in mind for future interviews, matter of fact ill go make a "post questions for pete rock" thread in outbounds right now!
-
^^
ha,ha cool.
I understand,it's kinda hypocritical that cats like 2 talk but don't action,if u know what I mean? If guys put in a lot of work to get "our" questions answered,then get no feed back,that's a turn off. oooh well,hopefully dubCNN get another chance 2 interview artists like Cold187 & Khayree,two of the artists u have interviewed without "our" help. I've already submited a gang of questions for RBX&D.O.C(if u get a follow up interview)
What did you want to know about Big Hutch?
-
^^^
here's a couple of quick ones;
-what happent to the crime files album? (see review of it in the "black mafia life" thread)
-who was in wizards of rock?
-is it true that epic dropped you because dre wouldn't let you use a couple of tracks he produced?
-where is these tracks?
-can you leak them?
(source for the 3 last questions; the ronin ro bio about dre)
I could go on,but it's too late,so,ha,ha
Ok I have to admit those are not topics that we touched on in the interview, I'll try to get some of them answered for you.
-
Looking forward to reading this, dubcnn making moves as normal.

damn, Big Hutch is back with a vengance.
a few months ago i made a post askin what rock he was hiding under, then later i heard him on the Julio G eazy e tribute show sayin he left rap for real estate
few weeks back he leaked some new tracks, dope
and now an interview, tellin the real on his releationship with the good doctor
this is dope.
atl has never been them dudes that bite there tongue.
i feel there is still alot of heat between, lets just say "erics people and dre and them" lol
only ones that really mended shit were kokane, he joined up with snoopy
atl joined deathrow for a minute
lil eazy tried to do business with daz but i guess daz did one of his classic ramblings callin lil eazy a snitch, and i hear he still aint too happy about that, that shit came and went so fast.
seems there really was no peace treaty made or nothin, shit was just ignored, people went on with there lives after eric died and shit crumbled. damn shame. this is the 20th year anniversary of ruthless records, westcoast history. but to me, the lable died in 95 with e, sad cus that was the same year it won the award for indepnedent lable of the year.
but anyways, cant wait to read the Hutch interview.
ps
whats KMG up 2 ?
another member of the wizards of rock i know of is Dirty Red.

I got to talk with KMG for like a minute last year. I believe I linked the post in the Tanj archive.
Basically he has a myspace and he's been makin' some beats is what I gathered. he is kinda half-assedly tryna push this music hustle but he's not too too deep into it. you can probably find the myspace.
this chick i was chillin with at the time is how i even got to talk to him and she kept saying she'd get it to the point where I could meet him but this chick was a flake.

dope interview
best news ive heard in 2008 so far is the release of a ATL box set, this is gonna be big
Ruthless 20th, they doin it big, im happy to see that.
i thought tomica would fuck it up but shit, Greatest ATL Hits with Dvd full of music videos. Thats all i want from Ruthless, more releases like this. If this shit does come throu for the Ruthless 20, i hope we can expect a MC Ren collection.
