It's time for the third and final part of our extensive interview series with Xzibit, "The Life And Times Of Xzibit", which we've been dropping on dubcnn throughout the past week. In the first two parts, we discussed everything from X's childhood, how he got into rapping, the Likwit Crew, his success with Dr. Dre, and moving to an independent label.

We also spoke about his various beef situations, with Snoop Dogg, Tha Alkaholiks, the incident where he got attacked, and how Strong Arm Steady for formed and why he left the group.

This is Part 3, where we get a few more words on the "Full Circle" album, Xzibit's song "Thank You", his relationship with The Game, who X is feeling right now, the evolution of Hip-Hop, his plans for the future, a possible new album and much more.

Check out the final part of Xzibit's dubcnn interview below:

The Life And Times Of Xzibit - The Dubcnn Interview: Part 3 (June '08)

As most of you probably already heard, Xzibit's new born son Xavier Kingston Joiner passed away after only eleven days last monday. The funeral for Xavier was on the 31st of May, the dubcnn staff would like to express our condolences to Xzibit and his family, and let them know that they are in our payers.

In a recent MySpace blog, Xzibit thanked his fans for the huge support they've shown him in these hard times, and to show his appreciation he decided to release the long awaited video to his song "Thank You", which hadn't come out yet. We actually talk about this video in Part 3 of the interview (the video hadn't been released yet when the interview was done), so make sure to check it out below:

Props to Nima for the interview. Damn I want to see a concert of X too.

[Furor Teutonicus]

props to dubcnn for that dope interview. X is one of the coolest cats in the music industry.


 Dubcnn: You've been involved in three different crews, the Likwit Crew, the DPG Crew and the Strong Arm Steady Gang. But you're still an Alkaholik at heart right?

An Alkaholik at heart? Man, I don't drink as much as I used to, but the spirit is there! *laughs*

 

[Dre-Day]

thanks for the interview 

Dubcnn: So what's up with a new Xzibit album?

It's coming, it's coming. I don't have a name for it yet, but I got some heatrocks on it, my nigga.


Dubcnn: Who would you like to work with on this one, production wise?

I don't know yet, I'ma see what's happening with it. I'ma take my time with it. Each track is going to mean something, each one of these songs I have to make count.

hopefully he'll have Sir Jinx on there, and maybe even Dr.Dre ( still don't understand why there was no Dre on weapons of mass destruction)

[Mr.(Ko)Kane]

Great interview Nima, it's real fun reading it. Seems like he understood what you are about. Xzibit seems to be a real down to earth guy, not talking bad about other rappers and is not acting like he's the king of rap.

Thanks for the interview Nima and taking your time, Xzibit.
