Title: XZIBIT album a Classic?
Post by: IRAN iz Gangsta! on October 13, 2006, 02:01:33 AM
I likes it and he's really lyrical too, I think people just hate on his voice and how he might sound off beat sometimes.  Always been a X supporter so I think its a classic.

Except a few songs, the rest is  good...Lots of uptempo beats with lots of base.


GO COP IT!

No way it's a classic. It's better than what i was expecting tho. But i need to listen to it a couple of more days to judge it.

it's a cool album but it isn't that great.... some of the production kinda fucks it up and X didn't come with the intensity that he can

People throw the word classic around too much for albums. I have not heard the whole album yet, I will wait until tuesday, but from what I have heard it ain't a classic.

They have a term for that concept, it's called dick ryding.

wow, I think d-nice is the only other person I no that thinks W.O.M.D. was a good album. To me, it ranks behind 40 dayz & 40 nightz only. Really dark, but great album. I think it is 2 early to say it's a classic, but it is MUCH better then I expected. I am really suprised with how much I liked it. Defanitely gonna be coppin' it.  A few more listens, and few months MAYBE it can be certified a classic.

I can't really say yet, I've only had the cd for 2 days

WOMD was cool.... maybe it's better... it did have Rick Rock and Hi-Tek

too watered down in a sense tho...

I don't see what is wrong with WOMD. A couple beats were weak, but other than that it is a good album. One of the best albums that year on any coast.

ya it was good no doubt, about half the tracks were keepers with replay value


I had to edit out some of the Steady Gang tho, they fucked up a couple times

That's the thing about this forum. The weeks before a album comes out and tracks leak it is either dope or wack. After it comes out people actually like the album they called wack last week or the opposite. After a couple of months either way there is a appreciation thread on the album.  ;D If I like a album, I like it, doesn't matter to me if I stand alone or not. And with all the opinions on this forum about Xzibit I just decided to wait until the album comes out, buy it and bump it on my own and then I will tell you what I think about it. That's the thing about leaks of tracks. You can't always say that a album is going to be dope or wack off of a couple of tracks.

Yeah Crazy Ho was a train wreck. But other than that I thought it was dope. Cold World=  :o

Suga Free just talking is worth the track tho haha.... and Phil Da Agony has a good verse
Title: Re: XZIBIT album a Classic?
Post by: d-nice on October 13, 2006, 12:33:03 PM
It seemed more like a Butch/Suga Free track. When X had Suga Free on Restless he was killin me at the end when Suga is just ad libbing. X sounded like he could not stop laughing.

I actually liked S.A.S. on the album, for the most part. "Beware Of Us" is actually one of my fav. tracks on the entire cd. Crazy Ho was a tight track, but Mitchy Slick & Krondon's verse were pretty shit. Kinda pissed that X is no longer affilaited with S.A.S. in any way or form (he confirmed it recently in an interview). They still cool tho. A lot of people on here feelin' Restless big time, and it's 1 that really hasn't caught on to me. I've gave it multiple listens, and average results keep coming up for me. Wierd, because IMO X, Get Your Walk On, Front 2 Back, probably are (combined) my favourite singles, released from ANY album. Lol, now im'a prolly listen 2 Restless 2day, and give it another chance ;D

YOu dumb fuck, so liking someone's rap skills is called dick riding now??  Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

I was kinda high last night when i made this thread  ;D ;D ;D

...but still its a REALLY good album.  THe reason i called it classic is compared to today's quality of music, its like a classic.  No one has had a good album in ages.  ::)

See Restless is one of his best, but for me that was then Xzibit got into the whole gangsta rap phase. That was right after Bitch Please and the Chronic 2001. That and he was c walkin and shit. I was not with all of that. The music was good, but it was not his image. 40 Days N 40 Nights is probably my favorite Xzibt album.
Title: Re: XZIBIT album a Classic?
Post by: Lunatic on October 13, 2006, 02:52:07 PM
Yea. Right now, I will exclude Full Circle because I think we can all agree that we all need more time.
40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
W.O.M.D.
Man Vs. Machine
Restless
Speed Of Life

Yea, I no speed of life is his 1st album, and it should be ranked higher blah blah blah. I became an X fan after that album, and when I did go get it, it never really grew on me (besides the 2 DOPE singles).
Title: Re: XZIBIT album a Classic?
Post by: d-nice on October 13, 2006, 03:01:06 PM
Wow that is a first. At The Speed Of Life was sick. That was when he was down with Tha Liks but that is still a dope album. Probably is 2nd or 3rd best imo.
Title: Re: XZIBIT album a Classic?
Post by: XaNdEr on October 13, 2006, 11:15:34 PM
yeah, word up

at the speed of life is second on my list

1. 40 dayz & 40 nightz
2. at the speed of life
3. restless
4. weapons of mass destruction
5. man vs. machine

i wont place full circle yet, as said b4 i need more time to really be able to

This CD is pretty damn good, I don't think it ever will be a classic though.  I like it a lot though.

agreed. Out of his 6 albums, it will probably end up ranking around 3-4.
