....and his last good album was released 7 years ago!
After a wack record like "full circle" is better for him to do something else
-
the first 2 you mentioned were average as a whole .. Full Circle is horrible .. I dont think at all X has lost it or is fallen off though ... his rap carreer isnt his priority anymore , he didn't have the focus to make a dope album, that's it imo
-
I would still like to know why him and Dre stopped working together. Like they just woke up one morning and said "hey you know what, we're working so well together that maybe we should just stop".
-
^^^^ Dre was busy and likes to work with new artists who never release an album ...
-
WOMD is one of my fav X albums..and FC & MVM are decent
-
mvm i think it's pretty good,not like restless or the two first but it's still good,womd and fc are average but still good to listen to them time to time,it aint all that bad
-
if he was on a proper label he could get it poppin
If Snoop is real about bringing the west to the forefront, he would try and do something about it, like launching a major sub-llabel or something with all west artists, and really promote/support them properly. Xzibit's so talented, its a shame he's not putting out higher interest albums
-
his last 3 certainly werent his best but i still liked em all
-
I liked them all ecept Full Circle.
He sitll has great music on em - some of his best songs, even. It`s just that they`re surrounded by mediocrity
-
how the fuck is "Man vs Machine" horrible?
he still had the lyrics and there were some classic cuts on that
-
a lost of focus,but he's still a ill mc,i just think he's at that stage where he really needs to be produced,some artist work better with someone put'n that battery in they bacc,it's like he bacame a star and got confortable,it don't work for everybody,especially if you was known to be hella aggressive on the mic, he need to see what busta is doing these days,get'n bacc on his networth shit, if x gets someone to instill that in him he will be bacc to killing shit again yell

Judging from ur faggot name, u are white and retarded????
First 2 Albums were classic, WHAT THE FUCK ARE U TALKING ABOUT? LYRICALLY IT WAS DOPE AS FUCK, Yo, FAggot, go back to listening to Young Jeezy and Gucci mane shit, this aint for u...
I cant belive this thread...........
-
some rappers have trouble balancing both their music careers and their other endeavors, I feel X falls somewhat in that category, there is a fine line and few are able to do it, I think Cube is the best example of a rapper who's music has not sufferred because he is able to maintain this balance, I can't be mad at Xzibit though he has to make a living and there are other ventures where he can get paid a lot better
-
Full Circle is the only album there i didnt like, cant knock xzibit...
At the speed of life - classic
40 dayz 40 nightz - classic
restless - classic
man vs machine - very good
wmd - good
-
i didnt feel full circle to much but i still think he can shit on most mc's in the game today
-
I don't think he's an above average lyricist but he's definitely got a powerful voice/style. I'm still a fan.
-
^^^^ Dre was busy and likes to work with new artists who never release an album ...
lol hopefully they break that trend wit bishop . but who ever is calling those albums horribles (ecept full circle) Xzibit is a fucking legend, that being said. he does not have that hunger anymore. thats all
-

i agree..except on full circle...its not that i didnt like it, its just not up to par with what we have come to expect from X...
still tho Full Circle > half of the shit thats considered "hot".
-
X's three latest have been huge letdowns IMO. "Man VS Machine" and "Weapons of Mass Destruction" had some good tracks on them, but as albums they didn't work and both had songs that annoyed me. Full Circle didn't interest me at all, since it was evident that he hadn't delivered a better product than his previous two.
BUT - if he had the right people working with him, taking the project to the right direction - I'm sure he still could deliver a dope album.
-
how the fuck is "Man vs Machine" horrible?

yep. Besides that, Xzibit is still a good mc. Bring him a good beat and he destroys it.
BUT - if he had the right people working with him, taking the project to the right direction - I'm sure he still could deliver a dope album.
that's what I'm sayin'- it's the same with Snoop

true
-
His first 3 records are DOPE!
At the Speed of Life and 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz are (modern) classics to me, Restless is just more mainstream
-
Man Vs. Machine --> had a lot of great tracks but whoever was the executive producer fucked up, because there were some tracks that were completley out of place
WOMD ---> great album, production from Sir Jinx, Jelly Roll, Rick Rock, DJ Khalil, Battlecat, Timbaland & Danja, Denuan Porter, J.R., Hi-Tek... you can't go wrong with that lineup. Only missed a track or two from Dre.
Full Circle --> the cheap production fucked up the album, Xzibit came correct as always though
Xzibit is still one of the best on the Westcoast and I'm still anticipating new album from him like crazy.
-
how the fuck is "Man vs Machine" horrible?
he still had the lyrics and there were some classic cuts on that
-
MVM is underrated and had some real nice tracks. It's not touching 40/40, ASOL or Restless but it's not a bad album. WOMD was decent and I haven't heard Full Circle yet.
-
how the fuck is "Man vs Machine" horrible?
he still had the lyrics and there were some classic cuts on that
When XZIBIT made - Squeeze me , Choke me , Spank me , that did it for me , after restless people thought he was gonna come bacc hard again , but put out a Wack album Man VS machine that album was on some bacc to the future , space shit , it wasnt tight !! Full circle had a few bangers , WOMB was his best album out of those three albums . 8) 8)

I agree. If sum of his latest shit hasnt been at the level of lets say At the Speed of Life it doesnt mean that all hope is now lost.
-
he had some bangers when he dropped restless
tracc #2 side 2 side, or front 2 bacc whatever it was called
and x was bangin
but what happened? homie focused on mtv and forgot about rap
and then cats ask why is the westcoast dead? cuz of this shit.
and then he drops full circle?? (thats an insult compared to other albums)
womd????
-
Rick Rock, DJ Khalil, Battlecat, Timbaland & Danja, Denuan Porter, J.R., Hi-Tek
Xzibit is still one of the best on the Westcoast and I'm still anticipating new album from him like crazy.
If we could get an album with a production team like that from him again, i'd be more than happy.
Xzibit is still 1 of the best out there.

You're 1 to talk. You think that Dre's work is wack.
-
I would still like to know why him and Dre stopped working together. Like they just woke up one morning and said "hey you know what, we're working so well together that maybe we should just stop".
What you talking about man? Dre worked on three tracks on the Restless LP and 3 tracks on M vs. M and I think he executive produced both. All those tracks on both albums were bangers. Eminem also came through and served Xzibit with bangers on those two albums.
The difference was, Xzibit fell the fuck off! And aside from Em and Dre's work on M vs. M that album was nearly all filler. Some songs were totally unlistenable. The beats were way overdone. Someone needs to tell Xzibit that less is more. The production on At The Speed of Light was very simple yet highly effective.
Simply put...
First 3 albums... West Coast Classics!
Last 3 albums.... Xzibit went Hollywood and fell the fuck off!
But so what.... saying Xzibit ONLY had 3 classic West Coast albums is like saying Kobe only has 3 championship rings. Its still way better than most.
-
Last new Xzibit verse i heard was on California Vacation and he was still hot on that so he still got a career. He did some dope joints on all three albums you mentioned. Imo he needs the beats, shame he never got signed to Shady back in the day!
-
At the speed of life is overrated.
The difference was, Xzibit fell the fuck off!
::)
How did Xzibit fall off when some of his best songs were on his past 3 albums?
Multiply
Heart of Man
Losin Yo Mind
My Name
Missin U
What a Mess
Cold World
Ride or Die
Back 2 the Way it Was
Say it to My Face
Family Values
Black & Brown
Thank You
His problem is in beat selection - maybe because he can't afford better beats, who knows. If he was still on Sony Full Circle would have been a much better album.
-
Man Vs. Machine --> had a lot of great tracks but whoever was the executive producer fucked up
Executive Produced by Dr. Dre
it could have been just as dope as "Restless" if managed a bit better, you're right
maybe they just didn't spend enough time on it?
-
I don't know who to blame, but I know what the problem was. They changed the tracklist at the last minute. This was the one they were promoting a lil while before the album dropped:
01. Release Date
02. Symphony in X Major feat. Dr. Dre [Visist WestCoask2k To Listen]
03. Multiply feat. Nate Dogg
04. Break Yourself
05. Heart of Man
06. Harder feat. Golden State Project
07. Paul
08. Choke Me, Spank Me (Pull My Hair)
09. Losin' Your Mind feat. Snoop Dogg
10. (Hit U) Where It Hurts
11. BK to LA feat. M.O.P.
12. Say My Name feat. Eminem, Nate Dogg
13. My Life, My World
14. Gambler feat. Anthony Hamilton
15. What a Mess
16. Missin' U
17. Right On
18. Bitch Ass Niggaz (Interlude) feat. Eddie Griffin
the 3 bonuses on the actual album, and no "enemies" (one of the worst songs xzibits done, if not the worst). That album would have been much better. People hate on MVM cause they haven't heard the bonuses. Add those in, take out Higher, Enemies and a couple other weak songs and you have a great LP.
-
imo just because a couple albums my not have been at your best work it doesnt mean you lost any touch or you are fallen off. Dude is still dope to me, for one i think that maybe he isnt able to balance both a acting (or whatever you wanna call it) career as well as a music career. you also have to remember that in the begining dude was hungry, he has done good for himself now, he just has to tap back into that hunger....shits still there he might just have to find it. those albums arent bad i dont think but i agree that they arent on the same level as the first two
-
WOMD is a igood album, man v machine was hit and miss but i dont really rate full circle.
-

Exactly how i feel.
-
r u guys serious? u dont think full circle is a gd album? i think its 1 of his best. all of the traks are gd
-
i liked weapons of mass destruction i mean it wasn't all that but i liked it wouldn't buy it at full price tho fuck that
-
I enjoyed all 3 of those albums. Full Circle is the weakest one of the 3 though
-
i think x is a beast on the mic he just need dope production..WOMD & MAN VS MACHINES are 2 good albums but full circle is garbage..
-
Restless is my favorite Xzibit album even the tracks not produced by Dre were some of the best ones
not feeling his last few albums :-\
-
Xzibits weak albums list
1. Man vs Machine - "choke me , spank me" - should ban him from ever rappin again .
Full Circle - had some bangers on it , but it had more weak songs !!!!
WOMD - I like this album the most out of the 3 OK album !!!!!
