BIG X THA PLUG & 6WA - MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME EPISODE 373

April 5, 2026·50 min·4 clips

Big X reveals police gave his team gang files because they're making impact, fearing they'll be stopped before proving themselves.

The episode opens with Big X the Plug hosting the Million Dollaz Worth of Game crew at his Texas home, described by visitors as resembling a cartel leader's mansion at roughly 14,000 square feet. Big X introduces his 6WA collective, which includes longtime collaborator Ro, Hood, and a female rapper, as well as his father, referred to throughout as Pops, and his mother. Big X explains that the group originally operated under a name containing 'Taliban' and 'Al Qaeda,' which was rejected by a label as too confrontational, leading him to rebrand around his Houston neighborhood, 600. He describes the 6WA project as distinct from his earlier work because it was built around shared emotional experiences, including police gang files being opened on the crew despite their legitimate music careers, drawing a direct parallel to NWA. The hosts press Big X on the rarity of bringing his original team along after achieving fame, with one host delivering a pointed monologue arguing that most successful artists abandon their people and that Big X's sustained loyalty is genuinely exceptional. Ro confirms that Big X has never had a 'comeback' moment because he was always present, and describes being called on his birthday to be told he woke up at 28, Black, and financially stable. A crew member describes being signed by Big X and put on tour the next day, crediting that opportunity with keeping him out of prison while many of his former partners are now incarcerated. Big X reflects on the pain of outgrowing people in his circle, using a metaphor of being on a higher level with no rope or ladder to pull people up, and admits he went through depression during the Take Care era and barely survived it. The female rapper in the group discusses being the only woman in the collective, rejecting any sense of intimidation and describing the studio dynamic as a friendly competition where Big X deliberately hid his verse to push her to write her best. Big X's father recounts bringing a young Big X into his apartment spot where men were rapping and betting them his son could win, with Big X confirming he always said he wanted to be a firefighter, never a rapper. Pops says he raised Big X to be successful and told him he would be rich by 25 if he followed his guidance. The hosts recall witnessing Big X's growth from 1,000-capacity venues in Philadelphia to stadium-level performances and NFL broadcast sync placements. Big X discusses his platinum catalog, including Bigger the Largest at three times platinum, Texas at two times platinum, and multiple other platinum singles, all achieved independently. He explains his low-profile approach to wealth, noting he has 24-hour security and avoids driving his Rolls Royce because visibility creates risk, a mindset inherited from parents who had money from illegal activity and never flashed it. The conversation turns to football, with Big X deflecting Cowboys fan pressure by noting he performed at an Eagles Super Bowl party, insisting it was for a check. Big X's mother joins the conversation and credits herself as the source of his musical talent, describing family rap circles in the living room when he was a child. The episode closes on a warm, chaotic note with the full family and crew trading jokes, with the hosts saluting Ro specifically for staying consistent and active even while adjacent to a bigger star.
