How will he handle this one? Admittedly, for the past two weeks Tyga’s latest mixtape, “187” has been on full blast in my car. So, for sure the music and the voice that says ‘187‘ is stuck in other people’s mind as well. Big Hutch, a.k.a. Cold 187um is a California rapper that is saying he hasn’t given Tyga the PERMISSION to use his likeness for his mixtape or single that he has coming out.
“I’m not cool with Tyga’s use of 187 as his brand for his project(s) because he didn’t holla at me about it. Everyone knows who the real 187um is out here in Southern California. That name had been relevant for over two decades and now some new young cat comes along and thinks he can just run with it without at least talking to the originator of the brand?” Cold 187um continues, “You can’t just use somebody’s name or brand to glorify your own existence. That’s called “Biting.” Whether people think it’s a big deal or not…what happens when people start referring to him as “Tyga 187″ or “that is the 187 guy;” that simply doesn’t sit well with me, especially surrounding the fact him or none of his associates took the time to holla at me about it knowing I’m still a relevant entity in Hip-Hop.
It seems like this dude just needs Tyga to ask for his permission to use 187, but this is what I don’t like – why wait until now to say something? Money motivated or what? Drop down bottom for more on what the REAL 187um has to say.

The term “Cold 187um” ultimately meaning a “Cold, as in cold-blooded, lyrical murderer.” As Cold 187um further elaborates, “My name actually means something just like a lot of Hip-Hop cats from my era with names that meant something. You could define us by our names unlike today. Tracy Marrow, a cold lyricist who called himself “Ice-T.” I don’t know why Tyga is using 187 other than tryin’ to sound hard just like William Roberts is using the homie Rick Ross’s name trying to portray his image as someone he is not.” Tyga should hop on this before more mixtapes are downloaded.
