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
-
alot of people at my school are kinda just gettnig into rap, and alot of them like xzibit the best now
-
Alot of fans slept on his shit, but within tha industry he got mad respect, look at all tha videos hes in.
-
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.
-
Xzibits THA BEST
-
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'm sure XtodaZ will go at least 2xPlatinum...that nigga is not underrated everyone respects the nigga!
-
restless is xzibits best album, but it didnt live up to all the hype. it was a disapointment for me :-/
-
yeah...aint nothing wrong with going plantinum...people like daz, kurupt and bad azz have dropped albums just as good as xzibit's and they never went platinum...

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.
-
eminem iz 2 much of a pop star, that'z wut he'z gettin at. he'z over rated. i think that Xzibit'z album shoulda sold A LOT more cuz that CD iz hella dope! bett luck next time 2 him, tho.
-
i really liked the previous album.. 40 dayz & 40 nightz.. its my fav xzibit album but im pretty sure most peeps disagree with me..
-
i agree FC, i like restless a lot but 40 dayz... is really a classic album and very underrated
-
SPEED OF LIFE IS WAAAY BETTER THAN 40 DAYZ....THERE R MANY TRACKS ON 40 DAYZ I DONT LIKE BUT FEW ON SPPED OF LIFE....
BUT, EACH 2 THEIR OWN ;D
peace
-
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.
-
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
