It's only appropriate that Xzibit's highly anticipated, and often-delayed, Restless concluded hip-hop's millennial melting pot. After all, Xzibit's association with Dr. Dre and his Aftermath regime attached very lofty expectations to Restless; X was publicly anointed as the next MC expected to blow up. Surely, with Dre as executive producer and ...
Not nearly as star-studded as his past two albums, Restless (2000) and Man vs Machine (2002), Xzibit's fifth album, Weapons of Mass Destruction, is a more focused effort, boasting an aggressive tone, a high-quality production roster, and a potent club track by Timbaland, "Hey Now (Mean Muggin)." There are several other highlights, including "Lax," ...
The dysfunctional member of the Likwit Crew once again re-emerged to lyrically decapitate fake MCs. Xzibit's verbal asperity and rough, blunted diction is unmistakable. The sophomore jinx is null and void as Xzibit rips line after line over a grab bag of sizzling tracks. Sir Jinx and Xzibit combine production duties on the haunting "Torture ...

Southern Rollers: Big Gamin' is a definitive look at Southern rap, complete with 16 tracks of some of hip-hop's most raunchy players. It's a tough and raw collection, and songs from Kurupt, Goodie Mob, Xzibit, and Too $hort bust out the shot callers just fine. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Bitter about Sony and the label's handling of his career, Xzibit split from the major and went indie, taking his Open Bar imprint and himself to Koch. In 2006, there are plenty of other major-label rappers in exile at Koch, but few of them have exploited the freedom of indie life as well as Xzibit. With a wide range of topics being covered and ...
Four albums deep, Xzibit's presence on the microphone rivals that of the better MCs of the latter day. However, on Man vs Machine, Xzibit seems to have lost some of the edge on his lyrical blade, which once tested in underground fires more than a half-decade before he hit the mainstream in 1999. The man who brought listeners "Paparazzi," ...
A single released in 2000 as a primer for the Restless album, "Year 2000" features Xzibit laying down his rhymes over a Mel-Man beat. Also notable is the fact that the song features Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis supplying some screamed background vocals. Though not necessarily even close to a hybrid of rock and rap, the song is rather stunning with ...
According to compilation producer/former A&R guy Jonathan P. Fine's liner notes, "Marijuana heightens the appreciation of music. And no music is better to appreciate with a big blunt blazin' than hip-hop." This claim is no doubt debatable -- many would argue that dub-reggae or perhaps ambient techno sounds better with the chronic; others, the ...

As the title suggests, The Source Hip Hop Music Awards 2000 presents 16 of the year's best hip-hop singles, as chosen by The Source magazine. DMX's "What's My Name," Mos Def's "Ms. Fat Booty," Jay-Z's "Jigga My Nigga," Beanie Sigel's "The Truth," and Redman & Method Man's "Da Rockwilder" are some of the standout tracks from the album. The ...

Like past volumes in the series, Source Hip Hop Music Awards 2001 features many of the year's biggest rap hits, emphasizing quality as well as popularity. While the majority of these songs are from the East Coast, there are a few West Coast songs -- Snoop Dogg's "Lay Low" and Xzibit's "X," both Dr. Dre productions -- and quite a few Dirty South ...
In California, the term "low rider" refers to young Mexican-Americans who cruise around in cars that they do a great deal of work on while listening to music that they carefully select. The low rider subculture (which War saluted with its 1975 hit "Low Rider") has been passed down from one generation to the next. While the low riders of the '50s ...
