Here's my list... in order...
1. "Papparazi" - X's magnum opus
2. "At the Speed of Light" - Great coming of age track
3. "Foundation" - father and son gem
4. "Best of Things" - Dre produced banger, meaningful lyrics
5. "Focus" - STRAIGHT BANGER, intense, X at his best
6. "Meaning of Life" - Xzibit comes full circle in his life/career on this track
7. "Thank You" - X connects with the fans on this one, touching tribute
8. "Symphony in X Major" - Got this on my ringtone
9. "Year 2,000" - this was when X was really starting to heat up, Mel-Man assisted
10. "My Name" - Em and Nate assisted banger
11. "U Know" - feat. and prod. by Dre so you know it's a banger
12. "Get Your Walk On" - this song deserved to blow up and be a West Coast anthem
13. "Los Angeles Times" - intense, Xzibit coming hard, Mel-Man assisted
14. "What You See Is What U Get" - great video, was #1 on BET nearly all summer in 98
-
Release Date is one of the dopest starts of the album 8) 8)
-
b please missin. ;) ok, that's a Snoop track, but it's important in X career.
-
12. "Get Your Walk On" - this song deserved to blow up and be a West Coast anthem
It wasn't THAT good of a track. And it was a little hypocritical for X to always be C-Walking to it when he's not even banging yet at the end of the video they have a "This is not a dance" message displayed.
I think a couple club/party songs still deserve to be on there (Alcoholic, Choke Me Spank Me, Multiply).

No doubt about that, and I love the way it flowed right into "Symphony in X Major"...
...on the other hand the intro of Restless was one of the worst starts to an otherwise great album
-
b please missin. ;) ok, that's a Snoop track, but it's important in X career.
If I put that joint on there then you would have to put "What's The Difference" and "L.A. Niggaz" on there as well.... but those technically weren't his songs.

you're right about the track being hypocritical, but i think it's an absolute banger and displays Xzibit's skills when he was in his prime over a Mel Man / Battlecat collabo.
As a solo song, i would have chosen X over this. Sorry i'm Away So Much and Alkaholiks too.

true.. I remember the O.G. "What's The Difference" had Hittman on it instead of Xzibit. I got that joint off the dreday website several months before the album release

"Bitch Please" was a Snoop Dogg song featuring Xzibit and Nate Dogg. I'm not sure what you're tryin' to say.
-
I would have to nominate 'Chamber Music' and 'Inside Job' from the 40 Dayz album.

No. Dr. Dre called Xzibit and asked him to be on the record. Here's Xzibit talkin' about the song.

So what? Quik was in there as well doing the b-walk, so he is a hypocrite too? Its entertainment man, get over it.

Never heard Year 2000 before, good looking! That track is dope, thanks for sharing.

The difference is that DJ Quik was an actual gangmember and Xzibit was not.

no Bitch Please?
-
You gotta add "Back 2 The Way It Was" as track 15 or a bonus lol.
No love for that "Weapons of Mass Destruction" album? HEAVILY underrated.
-
i'd also add What's the difference Xz kills that song
-

no doubt... I remember the video even got a fair share of play on BET and MTV. This was around the same time that X was about to go on tour with Dre for Up In Smoke. The song was the lead single for the soundtrack to the movie Black and White.

Year 2000 made Xzibit my favorite rapper in middle school
to your list, i'd add:
multiply, chamber music, front 2 back, release date, the gambler, ride n smoke, 1983, Louis xiii, & loud n clear

all good songs but not good enough to make the cut...
-"Multiply" was too contrived and calculated.
-"Chamber Music" is kind of bare bones, which is also why it's so dope, but just barely misses the cut. In fact I would add "Deeper" and "Recycled Assasins" to my list before I would put "Chamber Music" in (as far as 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz goes), but it's a close call.
-"Front To Back" is a certified banger. But I'd probably put "X" in ahead of it as far as Restless goes.
-"The Gambler", I fuccin hate that song. Those joints after the Em banger on Man vs. Machine were god-aweful and lead to X falling off for a several years.
-"Ride and Smoke"- never heard this joint but I just checked it out it's pretty sick
-"Loud And Clear" - Reminds me a lot of "Recycled Assasins", kind of cool how X put those joints at the end of his albums. Great song no doubt... barely misses the cut

-"1983" - is a cool joint as a posse cut and all that having fun kind of party music. But doesn't get that deep.

all classics to me...btw 1983 aint party music

Say what? you hate ''The Gambler''? well I think it's fucking amazing!

I accidently mixed "1983" with "Louis the 13th"

not even close...it's a dre leftover. don't think dre mixed it down, but it definitely has some of his signature sounds and i knew as soon as i heard it back when it leaked that it was dre.

alright I listened to it again. You know Dre's production is really clean and that cleanliness didn't really come out because that shit was kind of in low quality. But I guess since it's some leftover and not a finished product that Dre mixed it does have quite a few elements you find in Dre's production. In fact it sounds a hella lot like the Dre beat Xzibit used on "Losin Your Mind" on Man vs. Machine
I like the song a lot more now that I know it's a Dre beat
