One of the most underrated MCs, actually one of very few people who didn't get outrapped by Eminem and they did alot of songs together.

I can relate as far as that Restless album. For me, it's Tha streets is a mutha by Kurupt,No Limit Top Dogg by Snoop,Tha Last Meal,Tha Eastsidaz both albums &The Marshall Mathers LP & D12 Devil's Night. Something about that Up in smoke tour time frame was just magic that will never be able to be duplicated. It was all around the time that the Monday Night wars we're going on in the professional wrestling world with DX & NWO & so on. Definitely golden memories.

X is definitely a mc that's not mentioned enough. He's definitely top tier
A few things to take from this interview: being coachable, humble and professional can go a long way. X is not just a great MC, he’s humble enough to do what he’s told when need be, trusted the process and was right to do so. A great lesson for all of us regular folks
so glad to see X, very respected dude in the industry!
Restless.. Underrated classic 💥
His laugh makes me laugh😂
XZibit came Colombia to save a whole 85 thousand people's fest called Hip-Hop Al Parque... Nunca lo olvidaremos ❤🍺 mad Respect!
I first heard Xzibit through Need For Speed Underground and Pimp My Ride, and while I was never super into hip-hop, I recently went back and started listening to the greatest artists from the era. I played every album I could find from X and he is absolutely irreplaceable; I’m glad I know him for more than just the show!
Xzibit is one of that rare celebrities who I really want to met
Me & my friends used to bump Xzibit's cd!! 🗣"Call it what you wanna call it I'm a f*ckin alcoholic, Bring it if you really want it,ain't gotta put no extras on it"🎶🎵

I've always been a xzibit fan, since my teenager years. Loved most of his albums and can't wait for the new one, I hope he tours in Europe again, seen him a few years ago in a club in Vienna. Real energy

Xzibit came to my home town (Perth, Australia) in 2005 or so, and did a massive show at the nightclub I was working at then. He had brought these enormous sub-woofer stacks - they must have been 10 metres or more higher - and the bass was so, so intense, my whole body turned into a tuning fork. I was wearing ear-plugs AND sound-cancelling headphones, but the bass went into every orifice and all the way through my body anyway. It was so loud that I think I ended up with a concussion! Anyway, he put on a great show, and was really good to all the fans who turned up to see the show - a great showman and a good person, too.

Dope interview. Always good chemistry between Big Boi and X. Been listening to their interviews since '96 back in the Power 106 days. Looking forward to X's new album, Kingmaker, to hear what he's talking about, because it seems like he's in a good, reflective space. Enjoyed the background info on recording with Dr. Dre, the Up In Smoke Tour, and how X connected with King T & tge Likwit Crew.
I’ve missed Xzibit so badly!! Great personality too 🔥 interview
X to the z is up there with Ice Cube, Snoop Dog,Mack 10 ,Tha Dog Pound Ect...Mount Westmore of legendary cornerstone.
Xzibit,90years old,dementia,limping with a cane at a retirements home,nurses running after him: "been this way, i can't stop"
Recently found this channel and enjoying the interviews. Keep it up!
I was waited for this a loooong time😍😍😍😍
Really wish Xzibit would do a podcast of some sort. He's got a distinct voice and an infectious laugh lol
Great episode!!! Thank you!!!
ANOTHER excellent interview!!! Respect 🙏
Man ill always respect the love Aftermath artists have for each other still they never disrespect each other or go back on each other cos they built a brother hood, X and Em spoke many times on their brotherhood and snoop, 50 (except the Game)

So much value X, thank you 🙏
Nice one! I remember Xzibit and Mobb Deep on a track "Eye may shine" back in the day, one of the illest collabos of all time.
X is the best!! Always came out with great music
What a great interview. One of my favorite Westcoast legends. I had that Restless album on repeat all throughout high school, still bump it from time to time nowadays. Funny he cleared up spelling Snoops name like that, i always listened to that track wondering why he spelled it that way.
Man I enjoyed this interview, shoutout to Xzibit
Restless is one of my favourite albums of all time. One of the reasons I fell in love with hip hop.

Watch Xzibit and Snoop perform at the source awards. Shit was epic
Great show ❤ from 🇬🇧
My favorite rapper till this day, one of the few MC's that got better at writing a verse with each project
X is an intelligent well spoken person as well lets not forget
I never gave a damn for Pimp my ride but I always loved X to tha Zs verses and raps his guest appearances are legendary and his albums were cool unique voice in the rap game too you can always tell who it is. Major flowers to Xzibit.
My first xzibit song was paparazzi.. and even though I wasn’t in his music catalog as much as I should of been he felt relevant to me and was
The most underrated MC, should get his flowers more than he does
