West Coast rapper Xzibit has come a long way since he began in the early 90s running around with the Alkaholiks. But as his career took off, one thing was constant, his long braided hair.
The rapper was recently spotted at Sacramento Kings owner Gavin Maloof's housewarming party in Las Vegas and he was looking very different -- completely shaven and a buzzed head.
It's the first time in his over 20 year career that he has been seen without his trademark braids (see photo).
The 33-year-old Xzibit (real name: Alvin Nathaniel Joiner)X began his career as a member of Tha Alkaholiks' Likwit Crew. In 1995, he inked a deal with Loud Records in which he released his debut album, At the Speed of Life, the next year in 1996.
He went on to release five more albums -- 1998's 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz, 2000's platinum certified Restless, 2002's Man Vs. Machine, 2004's Weapons of Mass Destruction and 2006's Full Circle.
Along the way, Xzibit also became household name as a host of the wildly popular MTV show "Pimp My Ride."

Not a big difference to me. I listen to his music so if he has braids or not is no big deal.

People will say that because that is all they are used to seeing. Same with Busta and Luda. Change is good sometimes.

snoop came out with no braids, look at him in the EARLY death row days. him and Kurupt had like the same cut.
it was just HAIR lmao. mad simple. I actually hope snoop does cut his shit so that maybe he'll be inspired to come like that era.

Ludacris
Xzibit
Busta Rhymes
Stephen Jackson (Warriors)
Jermaine O'Neal (Pacers)
Richard Hamilton (Pistons)
Kwame Brown (Lakers)
theres more just cant think of any right now
-
i'm surprised there's even been so much talk over this. When I heard about this, i was like "oh." its funny to see him look different, but other than that i don't give a fuck at all. Anyone thinking this will change his music all is just being ridiculous!
-
His music is def gonna suck now lol

lol ur missing the point homie
when Mtl said that, he wasn't being serious..he is saying that (in sarcasm) the fact this topic is generating any type of discussion is ridiculous..as if his hair style can actually affect his music or anything...he is joking..that is what i agree with
-
Not a big difference to me.
I listen to his music
so if he has braids or not is no big deal.
Damn right!
Fuck how he looks and what he does in his private life.
I Agree With That Too! So I'm Off!

I will quote Tanji on this,I couldnīt have said it better;
why should we respect an artist for anything else but the art?
You guys are such products of the MTV generation.
WE DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE. ALL WE GET IS WHAT SEE ON TV/VIDEOS/ALBUMS.
What right do we have to think we can accurately judge them by the skewed ass shit the media puts out there?
Why do you feel you're expected to approve/disapprove of MJ as a person or not?
Am i the only person that thinks that's a ridiculous notion?
All i know is I like thriller and off the wall. What the fuck else do i need to know?
-T
I believe your comment was sarcastic,right? :D
If not I know that Reconize187 will love to continue the MJ saga with you here;
Michael Jackson in the new Vogue magazine

Nah,I remember reading it when you posted it.
I just didnīt want to get involved,like dude said you canīt have serious convo about MJīs music without people coming in with all the gossip that over shadows his music.
But dude is a little into gossip himself posting all those photoīs of MJ,like I care how he looks,give me a funky album thatīs all I need.
But your post was on point,but I guess youīre speaking to deaf earīs (?).

You know I feel your posts.
I wrote something about you in the Star Wars/Autoplay/free posting thread.
I need you to write something in the Source thread,itīs kind of similar to your Damizza/Butch Cassidy thread.
But it needs some insightfull words,not some same old,same old bullshit.... you know what Iīm talking about.
