Xzibit 's fledgling Open Bar Entertainment imprint has inked a deal with Shady Records / Interscope. And though X recently caught a bad one, he's not slowing down as he is finishing up two mixtapes, X-Man Vol.1 & 2 featuring freestyles, exclusives and a slew of new tracks. Look out for the DJ Muggs produced banger "Ride & Smoke."

-
Wow
-
Good Shiet! I hope that song X wuz rappin on G-TV iz on one of thoze mixtapez.
-
Why did Daz bullshit about Xzibit not being able to rap again??
-
More $ for Eminem (Em's like a .Master now)
Kinda a shame tho in a way.
Would have really wish'd 4 Xzibit's label to make it & sign on it's own as a sub-label... :-\.
(I guess talent can't gurantee nothin'...)
Does this mean no King Tee, Liks, Defari ect...
and more of the same... ???
Snoop Dogg
Dr Dre
50 cent
Obie Trice
D-12
ect.....Kinda like a step backwards.
As far as production goes....the deal is dope.
Dre and his minions.
BUt when it comes to the forced collab's that are gonna be made.... :P
Make ure' $ X

great news that X will be back 8)...too bad about his label
-
dope, can't wait for the mixtapes
and there won't be any forced collabos since there never been any.. Tha Liks and Defari were both on Restless which was executive produced by Dre and he will always have the collabo's he wants on Shady records too
-
good move for x. he'll finally get the spotlight he deserves, and the money behind him to promote, grab some top notch callabos. also he's said dre will exec produce all of his albums......this makes that 10x easier legally.
oh yeah this puts presure on him and 50 to put out better material. i like both but lets face it they've been performing below their old standards.....nothing like friendly competition

Good and bad I guess.. Id rather hear the "At The Speed Of Life / 40 Dayz And 40 Nightz" version of Xzibit but that'll never happen now. How many people went crazy when they heared Focus for the first time? I know I did! That song had me wanting more.. plus Chris The Glove was on production.
Since linking up with Dre.. everything sounds almost like they tryin to hard. X lost that natural feel that he started with which represented his Lik Wit Affiliation PERFECTLY. What about Birds Eye View, prod by Diamond D?? That shit was the knock too.
Xzibits tight.. but he's too Krispy Kreme'ish with all the Dre production now of days.

I don't see how if you sign to Shady Records you would HAVE to have D12, Obie, Dr. Dre, etc. on your album. Were any of them on 50 Cent's album? Was Ice Cube? Brooklyn? Rakim? No
Dr. Dre excutive produced Restless and were Tha Liks, Defari, King Tee on the album? Yes
And I don't see a point in it being Open Bar/Shady/Interscope, I mean to me that's just Open Bar/Interscope cause Shady is not really a record label.
-
i have a feeling this X album is gonna be good ...
personally i'm not a huge fan of 50 cent but i'd like to see him and Xzibit collab.
i hope mnm,D12 and obie stay away from rapping/producing on this album.
hopefully Ras Kass will have a duet track with X ,same goes for Saafir + a golden state project group cut (i'm really anticipatin this album ,so i hope they hype it up with sum killer tracks)
sum other guys who i'd like to see on the album:
-DeFari,tha licks(they squashed the beef right?),King T,snoop dogg (cause "losin ur mind was the only good song on M VS M)
and i really hope ,sir jinx and diamond D do sum production but dr. dre would be good i guess.......
Anyways i hope this album is a classic
-
well i aint really feelin this move for xzibit, i think he can do it on his own..............but like this will giv him more shine i guess so whateva, i guess its kool, i mean im a huge xzibit fan so i aint hatin, i jus aint sure yet...................imma wait till his next album comes out, thats when we can decide if its a dope move or not................cuz lets face it..............restless was a nice album no doubt, nufft racks to nod ya head to........but different to the x we all knew from befo............but i didnt really mind much cuz the album was filled with alot of bangers..........but then mvm came out, n i was like wat the fuck...........xzibit never comes out with shit like this...........way below his standards..............but im hopin his gone get back on track with this new joint, doin the mixtapes should help get him back in step no doubt.............................thats a thing that sounds real sick though! the mr xman mixtapes! heavvvvvvyyyyyyyy
peace
