Title: Xzibit is still underated...
Post by: infinite59 on June 18, 2001, 08:34:52 AM
The Restless LP was supposed to be the album that would finally earn Xzibit the respect he's deserved for sometime, yet still I don't feel that 1xplatinum is doing him justice.  He's been holding down the West, and should be considered one of the top 3 rappers in the game today...
He'll probably end up like the Nas of the West Coast and go platinum for the next few albums but never double.

platinum is dope for a west coast rapper. he is no way underrated.

id rather he sell 1xplat and be well respected by the hip hop community (which he is) than sell 5xplat and be a popstar sellout like your boy eminem

Xzibit was on Rap City like a couple of weeks ago and said that his album is like 1.7 million, to me that 's not underrated especially since his first couple of albums barely went wood.

 Yeah people are startin to get stingy actin like Platinum aint good enough... especially cuz there's people out there going Platinum multiple times....

 1XPlatinum is hella good though.... I bet there's a grip of muthafuckerz out there that would kill to be able to say they got a platinum record.... you just gotta "Be Thankful For What You Got"... and I bet Xzibit aint complainin at all

I don't see how Em sold out.  His style's the same it's always been.  That's such an ugly word and I don't think Em belongs there.  Xzibit's done good for himself.  Let's hope it can make it to Multiplatinum in the next year.

call me a teeny bopper but i totally wanst feeling 40 days, the production was some corny shit 3/4 of the album, but the lyrics were on point....it is still a real good album though, but restless is super dope to me, the expectaitions were put WAY TOO high, that is why alot of peopel are dissapionted

Nas sold 2 million copies of It was Written and I am. Illmatic is gold. In don't give a damn what nastradamus is.

40 Dayz is a hell of alot better then restless. The production on 40 dayz was better. The dre production on restless wasn't even that good. I felt he could have done better. I felt Sir Jinx , budda, the glove, mel man, jesse west, snoopafly etc.. did a good job producing the album. Of course the lyrics were on point on 40 dayz. THe XZ didn't come that hard on restless.

Yo Topp Dogg, Nas' last two albums went 1xplatinum, and Queensbridge will go 1x platinum as well, and I heard that Illmatic only sold 1xplatinum, but shipped double.

illmatic only went gold

xzibits best album is at the speed of life

easily

and the reason restless didnt make xzibit a superstar is becuase it was a disapointing album...im not trying to make excuses for it, he slipped on that album.

hell come back much iller tho...hes one of the best in a long while. keep the faith.

My bad homie, I meant to put It Was Written, but I wrote Illmatic.
Title: Re: Xzibit is still underated...
Post by: So Much Style on June 21, 2001, 10:59:10 AM
Illimatic=39 minutes of perfection
It was written=some nice shit on here, but not classic
I am..-a big disapointment, but still real dope
Nastrodamus-only a few REall good songs, the rest are average

its a shame illimatic didnt sell big, its great
