XZIBIT - KINGMAKER (Official Discussion)

at least aint a video just a visualizer...

I recently gave the album another try, and listened to it all again and honestly there’s zero reply value, even shut your mouth got dry. No songs stand out to me. Unfortunately deleted the album off my playlist. Such a shame because his older albums have crazy reply value.

The production reminds me of Compton production almost like it’s Compton leftovers… the same way the Restless album sounds like it was Dre 2001 leftovers — and I mean that in a good way.

Yet for some reason I doubt I will replay this much.  It sounds good and well put together, but nothing grabs me like the way Napalm grabbed me with tracks like “Meaning of Life”.

[TraceOneInfinite]

Also, he blatantly just ripped off 2pac’s Me Against the World intro — I get it that it’s a famous Shakespeare line and pretty much open for anyone to quote and re-use, but that’s just too obvious to reuse the same intro as PAC’s without it being a tribute or some type of sequel is lame.

Not to mention the fact Xzibit was getting dissed by PAC’s disciples in one of the dopest and coldest finishes ever to a verse the way that beat cuts out to make the words more emphatic—

“For that nicca that made Papparazi
If you ain’t in this rap game
For the mutherfuckin’ cash mayn
Then what is your mutherfuckin purpose
Non (disservice?)
Edi Amin born worthless
That’s until the day I decided to bomb first — Bitch!”

I get it the line is a bit ignorant like Xzibit got the high rode for like being in the game for the love and not the money but that line was so blunt and raw that it reduced Xzibit to sanctimony

[WCThang]

I agree the production reminds me of Compton a little bit.

Come on homie it’s from “Bomb 1st” opening track from 7 Day Theory.  They obliterate the entire rap game in just the album’s first cut and still nothing can touch it

[So Much Style]

Really disappointed with this. A lot of military titanium sounding ass beats

Yeah X can still spit but wasn’t feeling the production it’s a damn shame. If he let Labcabin produced a album for him it could be a classic

rolling your eyes at siavash saying if xzibit released an album on labcabin it would be classic isn't criticizing .. because it's a hypothetical, not work that has already been completed


that's clear cut hating


criticizing would be if we did release that album and you said it wasn't classic


a bit different
