a www.raptism.com exclusive ;D
-----------------------------------
After mediocre sales of his latest album, Weapons of Mass Destruction, it appears as though Xzibit and Sony Music will be parting ways in the very near future.
The Pimp My Ride Star has been working on developing his film career, recently in appearing along side Ice Cube in the new XXX movie, and it is believed that Sony wanted him to focus soley on his albums. There is also believed to have been promotional disagreements as well as disagreements with single choices.
No word as to where X may head but look for him to sign up Strong Arm Steady to whereever he goes. Xzibit will tour Australia next month along with Strong Arm Steady and Ras Kass.
--------------------------------------------------------------
so yea, it is pretty much confirmed but when / if this all turns out to be 200% true, remember where u heard it first 8)
-
he should go independant
-
Yeah they probably don't want "Criminal Set" to be the next single because its too West Coast. But damn, I would drop him too, the album didn't sell shit, and I don't know how much more promotion they could have done.
-

if thats the case, then fuck them. i'm glad that X shot a video for that song.

wow yet again you wander into a thread and just start dishing out the hate.. ::)
anyways.. on the real..
i hope this doesnt affect the SAS project... :(
-
well it doesn´t seem like X gonna be signing with Aftermath coz he and Dre haven´t really worked on anything togheter for like 2-3 years. shit maybe X should go independent and bring SAS with him coz they could prolly move a few units independently.
-
he should go independant
Hell no. He's one of the few West Coast artists with mainstream appeal. I'd hate to see him go independant. He'll probably sign to Aftermath, lol.

i never felt xzibit. his flow was way too monotonous. good in small doses only. when he was fucking with the liks, j-ro and tash could easily serve him. when he's fucking with golden state, ras kass could easily serve him. he's good in a crew whatever but not really solo.
it's good to see him out there hustling, pimping mtv, commercials and now movies; but i never really felt his albums. restless was the only one close to consistent throughout; the rest were simply sprinkled with bangers here and there.

what a load of bs :sign_banhim:
-
ban me? lol!
i've purchased every xzibit album. i support the guy. but other than restless, most of his albums have had one or two tracks and then a bunch of filler.
and i genuinely don't understand why he's blown up more than tha liks and ras kass. well, i can understand the ras aspect, as ras subject matter is self-defeating if he truly wants to be a star. but the liks? i don't get it
-
I don't think you should be banned lol, but I do disagree. I don't think Restless touches his two first albums.
-
XZIBIT JUST SIGNED TO BEYONCE'S POPS LABLE SANCTUARY, the lable that signed DE LA SOUL

You don't understand why he's blown up more than tha liks and ras kass? are you serious? I'll give you 2 words : BITCH PLEASE. That song started Xzibits mainstream career and his path to being a star.
yeah it would be really dumb for xzibit to go independent. every rappers works his ass off to get a record deal. whereever X goes I sure hope he picks a good label that will support SAS. I personally don't think Xzibit would sign with Aftermath. It seems like once dre has proved what he can do with an artist he kinda leaves that artist on his own and focuses on working with other artists he hasn't worked with.

Yeah it's the label that's ran by Beyonce's dad, they have De La Soul, Jon B and some other acts
-
^Thx,I havent heard De La Soul's new stuff on there but real hip hop fans werent dissapointed so I guess X will make good music there.

Naww, "Grown man business" was recorded for "Weapons of mass destruction"..
I think y'all got the Sanctuary thing mixed up..
Peep this:
The Sanctuary Urban Management roster has some of the highest profile artists in the world and includes Destiny's Child; Mary J. Blige; Jadakiss; Eve; Beyonce; Floetry; Mary Mary; Kelly Rowland; Solange; Angie Stone; Michelle Williams and Xzibit. Sanctuary Urban Records artists include Chaka Khan; De La Soul; Earth, Wind & Fire; and The O'Jays
And that's from October last year..
So unless he just recently signed as a artist, he is only MANAGED by Sanctuary..

Have you ever heard of commas and periods? I don't think anyone will read your post.

actually, i'd say it's because he had battlecat, quik, erick sermon & rockwilder on that project; but the conclusion is the same.

Well, this news makes me doubt that Sony will put any more effort into promoting ''WOMD''. Its a shame, especially since they just shot the video for ''Criminal Set'' and it was a decent album overall. A few strong tracks in there - but it would have beneffited greatly if they had just thrown ''Grown Man Business'' in the mix.
I hope this move allows X to jump-ship to a label who knows how to market and promote him well. I dunno about in the US, but here in the UK the promo for the CD has been poor.
-
most promotion for his CD was himself, not Sony. His the one that does Pimp My Ride, his the one that doing Pepsi commercials pimping a Pepsi truck, X is working his ass off to try and promote his CD. I haven't seen ads, I haven't seen shit that a typical lable would do. I think X should start his own Open Bar lable, or Strong Arm Steady, and move them to a lable like Universal, or something, and be his own boss. WIth Strong Arm Steady, and Ras Kass under him, he has all the tools to be a major boss playa.
