XZIBIT - KINGMAKER (Official Discussion)

[TraceOneInfinite]

Relase date is best intro to an album in history of music all ganres. Goddamn what a dope ass intro

Yeah dawg that shit was so fuckin sick wit the double entendre and little skit to open it but it’s funny man Blade and I used to laugh about that shit how like these hard core rap songs would have gay shit in them like Nas

“Some niccaz fucc they enemies when they catch them”

Xzibit “give my naked picture away”

lol I’m sure he meant like bitchez he had pictures of and not himself but still kind of funny…

But yeah that song was such a sick opening, not sure if it’s the best opening ever I mean “I can’t deny it I’m a straight ridah/ you don’t wanna fucc wit me… (let’s get ready to rumble) is pretty lit 🔥 but I don’t know that’s a good thread we should make a thread what’s the best opener in rap history?

[TraceOneInfinite]

mop joint was cool

don’t really remember likin missin u

but just because all the songs are dope doesn’t make an album classix

while gambler was a dope song it wasn’t a great song

the whole album had potential to be classic, but it fell short

Then how you saying everything was dope?  Where did it fall short then?

[WCThang]

It’s not Game.

Good to know! Assuming it's not Snoop, Dre, Jayo, or B-Real either, since they featured on other songs.

[Sccit]

couple songs like missin u were just ok … not whack but not particularly dope either

but even if everything is dope doesn’t necessarily make it a classic

Couple means two so what song other than “Missin U”

…and name another album where every song is dope and it’s not a classic?

[WCThang]

Alright, I revisited Man vs Machine.

It's a solid project, but the problem is outside of the 4 amazing tracks, everything else is like a 3.5/5 or 3.75/5.   Nothing truly terrible, but just a buncha average tracks you wouldn't rate higher than like 7/10.

The worst song is Right On.

Right on is dope joint.

Paid da cost to be da boss by Snoop
Dillinger and Young Gotti by Dogg Pound
Stoned Raiders by Cypress Hill
Return of the regulator by Warren

I can name more.

[WCThang]

Right on is dope joint.

I prefer Gambler, BK to LA, the Snoop record, Missing U, etc., and those tracks aren't that good either.

Also opposite is true... being a classic album doesnt mean everything is dope from top to bottom. There are really a few weak jointz on the chronic.

Its musical taste. Man vs Machine is a very good album, i dont care if its a classic or not. I remember i listened to it a lot when it came out.

I just think WOMD is slightly better.

[Malcy]

Classic as a meaning is so watered down to the point that it just means 'good' or 'personal favourite' at this stage.

Classic albums are few and far between. In any genre.

I'm looking forward to this album but fuck that Irish scumbag and his label. I will never support this by streaming a video on YouTube or a physical which I find a shame as I would have loved to. Hope X & BTNH signed 1 album deals and they can get away from this thug scumbag rapist's label.

I'd personally hand Xzibit cash for this but otherwise no chance.

They’re adding/removing things on it all the time. At first only Cuve was on it. And it happends with other songs on the album too.

Just hope the Nas/Ice-T song remains...
