Here is an interview with Xzibit conducted by german Hip Hop magazine Backspin for their September issue. He touches on his feelings about Tha Liks and "beef" with rapper Raptile. Xzibit & the Strong Arm Steady Gang recorded a song with Raptile earlier this year. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Backspin: Are you still doing anything with Defari or Tha Liks?
Xzibit: No
BS: What happened?
X: Nothing (laughs)
BS: You dont wanna talk about it?
X: I just did, I'm not working with them anymore.
BS: We know how Tash and them feel, but thats about it...
X: No, I dont have any negative things to say about them. They gave me a possibility to shine. Nobody ever heard me say anything bad about them. I cant speak for them, each to his own. They're my brothers, and true brothers are honest and fight together. Some brothers even kill eachother, but thats not gonna change anything. It is what it is. I hope they gonna make it big but Im not working with them anymore.
BS: Can you talk about the collabo with Raptile on the song you did with him called "Make Yall Bounce"?
X: Let me set this straight and make sure you print this: I've never done a song with Raptile. I have no idea what this fucking snake is talking about, he's just spreading lies. He did a song with my group Strong Arm Steady. But he cut them out and left me in. And he put it out as a fucking single. Fucking snake ass shit. Ever since I came back people tell me "You have a number one hit with Raptile". I mean who the fuck is Raptile? That was a mixtape track with Strong Arm Steady, and he fucking edited them out. There is a video and Im not even in it!
BS: Will this have any consequences?
X: Of course, he claims we're down with eachother but I dont see him around anymore. Cant see no Raptile anywhere. He's probably hiding somewhere. What a poser, that was fucking weak, dude is just corny.

actually if u read it more closely.. he might not be lying.
he's possibly saying he did record with him..... but that it was a collabo with the whole of SAS.. and that he cut the others out... hmm..
i still wanna see the video..

Did Raptile actually release this song? in stores?

thats what its about. Xzibit never said that he never worked with him...he's saying they recorded a song together, but featuring Strong Arm Steady, not just Xzibit

Yeah, they put the SAS mix on the single as a extra track, but in the video it's just Raptile and those German acts, with Xzibit mixed in..
Doesn't look professional at all.. maybe they agreed to make the SAS mix the single, and that's why X is mad.. ?

anti garanti that is that german thing
-
anti garanti that is that german thing
there were 2 video / audio versions for to TV channels ...
1st Raptile ft X & Anti garanti (rmx) for VIVA (german music channel)
2nd Raptile ft SAS for MTV
i think the interviewer told X about the Remix, and not about the original version with SAS .. thats the problem.
-
anyone got the original version with SAS?
-
I have this vid and xzibit is in it
I think the whole interview is fake though
-
I saw a version with out X, i think.
-
I have this vid and xzibit is in it

the interview is real....you dont get Xzibits point, do you? X doesnt say that he didnt work with him...its about Raptile messin with the Strong Arm Steady verses
-
yeah, the interview is real sadly.
suposudly King-T is gonna dis x on a mixtape soon, he got a problem with x & kron, cuz they doiung it too commecial.
the whole liks / x beef been done tho, i dunno if it's a publicity thing or not, but we'll c how it plays out this time.
Iv'e been told by a few german cats theres 2 video's one with SAS & one with xzibit, xzibits beef was raptile put out the Anti-Grande one as the single, saying featurinbg XZIBIT, not SAS which it prob said on the contract.
Obviusly raptiles record company (german) wanted the Anti Grande remix the single, cuz the german peeps would like the german verse better.
i got some pix of x in the studio with raptile, same time as the photage on this video that was obviusly just placed in & on the SAS DVD.
you can watch the video for raptile f. xzibit & anti grande- make y'all bounce HERE (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sneeches/xzibitvid.html)
