The debut album from X. Alot of beats done by E-Swift, Muggs, Diamond D and others. While most thought the beats were a little weak on the album, I thought they were pretty good. 2 classic cuts, Foundation and Paparazzi. Great debut album from X, he flexed his lyrical muscle throughout on this.

17. Outro
This album is alot darker than his first. Personal classic IMO. 3 Card Molly is as good as it gets as far as posse cuts. Was really looking forward to a Goldyn State Warriors album after hearing this but it never happened. Soopafly, Thayod, Jinx, E-Swift, and Bud'da crafted beats. Dope lyrical content and storytelling on this album, not as personal as his first but this album really put peeps on notice that X was one of the best on the west.

Xzibit appearing on Bitch Please on Snoop's album and making appearances on 2001 was the perfect platform to drop this album. Dr. Dre's beats with X's aggressive, commanding flow and presence were the perfect marriage. One of the best produced albums I have heard out west and the lyrics were just as dope. I liked how X walked the fine line of backpack/gangsta rap on this. This album showed you could have Dre, Snoop, etc that are gangsta with a Eminem, X, Tha Liks which is more lyrical. Em and X did they thing on Don't Approach Me. So many classic tracks on here. I battle with myself all the time on if this is better than his 2nd one.

DISC 2: BONUS DISC:
1. My Life, My World - (featuring Traci Nelson)
2. What A Mess
3. Where It Hurts, (Hit U)
I don't know, this album sounded rushed to me. Alot of good cuts but something was just missing from this one. This is also around the time X had a falling out with Tha Liks so no E-Swift on this one. Dre did some nice beats along with Rick Rock and Jellyroll. Delete a couple of cuts and add the bonus cuts, including the Premo cut What A Mess and it would have been better. Not a horrible album, just not one of my favorites from X.

14. Scent Of A Woman

16. Back 2 The Way It Was
WOMD was more of a return to a darker sound. Me and the homie Lunatic (what up pimpin ;D) always talk about this. The Strong Arm Steady cuts were good IMO on here but other than that the sound is very dark and hard hitting. Jinx, Jellyroll and Hi-Tek really did some dope beats on here and X was in top form on here. Cold World on here is criminally slept on. X was in rare form on that cut. This album gets alot of criticism but I liked it.

14. Thank You
Everything about this album was wrong. The lack of promo, the rushed sound to it, just the overall product. With that said, I actually can listen to alot of the tracks on here. Jelly Roll handled most of the beats, which makes most upset but I thought Invade My Space and The Whole World were bangers. Rampart Division was very innovative, one of the few tracks that shows life from a cop's perspective. Scandalous Bitches was dope also. Easily X's weakest album but it does have its moments.
So for me his best to worst go in this order:
Restless
40 Dayz (but catch me on another day and these could flip flop)
At The Speed Of Life
WOMD
Man Vs Machine
Full Circle
Overall X has a dope catalog. I liked his 1st 2 with a heavy influences from his Likwit days and the ones during his Dre heyday. Hopefully with X's next album he will have more cohesiveness and more direction then the last one. And hopefully he will have some appearances from the Likwit Crew.
-
Nice,I enjoy reading these personal breakdowns of artists discogs.
I'm not biggest Xzibit fan,never the less I pretty much agree with everything in your review.
Yeah I was a huge X fan during the Likwit era. I felt like it was a gift and a curse to a certain extent when he got with Dre. Lyrically he was still on point but at times it seemed like he was trying to emulate that gangsta persona. red and blue rags in his booklet, c walking at concerts. But overall I do enjoy his music.

X was always dope to my but is 2 latest album's are wack i can't even listen to full circle.. i was so dissapoint whit this one ...
-
nice review D, I thought Xzibit peaked with Restless he put it all together on that one after that I thought his albums were very inconsistent but up to that point it looked like X was on his way to being one of the alltime greats of the West Coast
-
Good job and a fun read. Nice way to sum it all up. I agreed with most of what you wrote, you had some very good points there...

It's a shame X ain't with Strong Arm Steady anymore. He gave the group that harder edge to it.

The only SAS track I was not too hot on was Crazy Ho. Not bad though. Beware Of Us got alot of airplay on Monday Night Football surprisingly.

U know, that is honestly why I like doing these, so I can re listen to the albums. I listened to it again and I know remember now why I was not feeling it because it is pretty good. I think it was because it was a little bit more bouncy and the vibe did not fit as well with the other tracks but it is a nice track. What was I thinking. ;D

lol exactly man

both are 2 dope albums from 2 my of fav artists ever. Both are hella slept on, and both have a similar "darker" sound 2 it. Good comparison 8)

I just let WOMD spin 3 times all the way through and did not have to skip not 1 track. Same with the War Disc. I am about to listen to Man Vs Machine again also and re vibe with that one.

i liked MVM
also don't understand the hate that LP gets. I think ppl's expectations were 2 high after restless
or maybe i like X's music 2 much ;D
-
True. I am bumping MVM also. Release Date is the SHIT!!!

I forgot Dre was the executive producer of this. This shit is pretty dark too. 1st half of the album is bangin, tailed off a little towards the end, but those 3 bonus tracks that were with the Limited Edition were all sick.

And that is why I would still probably score WOMD a little higher than this one.
-
I don't think lyrically X really fell off that much if at all its just that the overall quality of his albums suffered after Restless, I think alot of things had to do with it the Pimp My Ride show his up and coming movie career its a tough balance sometimes

yea
Restless
40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
WOMD
Speed Of Life
MVM
Full Circle
honestly tho, full circle wasn't that bad. I just feel like the idea of a new xzibit album "came and went" really fast. Sorry if that don't make sense :-\
it's got a lot of nice tracks on it tho

Nah that makes sense. It sounds thrown together, not good sequencing. Some dope cuts on there but easily his weakest album.

I agree with D on everything on this review. +1
Still gotta say 40 Dayz is his best tho 8)

I flip flop on that one all the time. Most days I would say 40 Dayz but lately I have been digging Restless. I would give the edge lyrically though to 40 Dayz, but beats to Restless and I have been more on a musical tip lately but I am going to throw 40 Dayz back in and give it another spin.

Still gotta say 40 Dayz is his best tho 8)
I flip flop on that one all the time. Most days I would say 40 Dayz but lately I have been digging Restless. I would give the edge lyrically though to 40 Dayz, but beats to Restless and I have been more on a musical tip lately but I am going to throw 40 Dayz back in and give it another spin.
Ditto. Hard to say because both have their better points and are very even in the quality levels.

Might have to go back to 4o Dayz. My joint Chamber Music is on. :o Looking at the credits on this, he had alot of the same producers on Restless too. He had Dre affiliates like Glove and Bud'da but Jinx did most of it though.

Yeah you might be. LOL! It's all good homie. Ras, Saafir and X was a hell of a combo IMO. I thought their track on MVM Harder was a little disappointing. Yeah the SAS tracks on WOMD were dope also. Don't know why but Heart Of Man got alot of bad reviews when MVM first dropped. I liked it also.

Nice beat on Harder also. I guess I was expecting something like 3 Card Molly but I still bump it. The track they had on the Training day soundtrack was bananas also.

Well, I'm X's Fan Since Day One! 1st Of All, Props To This Guy Who Made This Thread! Like He Said His 1st 2 Albums Were Straight Bangers, Then "Restless" Came And Showed 2 The World Who X Is And What X Can Do! After That "Man Vs Machine" It's GooD Not Best Album But That What Was Missing Is "Promotional" From Sony Crew! They Didn't Showed Much Love To The X Man! (X Was On LOUD RECORDS Since His 1st Album 'Till Restless), Ya'll Must Confest Man Vs Machine Is Not Album At All... AnyWays "Weapons Of Mass Destruction" Is His By Me, BEST Album! That Album Gave 2 Him So Much, Pimp My Ride, Movies, His Shoe Line, Host Of MTV Awards And So Much More, But Like Rest Of Ya'll I Don't Like "Commercial Rap" And That Is What Came With Weapons Of Mass Destruction! Like X Said In His 1st Single "Paparazzi" "It's The Same N''''s In The Rap Game Only For The Money And Fame-Paparazzi" That Tells Errthin'! Full Circle Is His Biggest Miss! Really There's Some GooD Tracks And Beats, But What Wrong Is Jelly Roll! Why The Fuck He Produced Allmost Whole Album? It's Ok 2-3 Tracks But Whole Album??? That's Nonsense! Thank You, On Bail, Family Values, Black And Brown, The Whole World Are Bangers But Hey Jell Roll??? C'mon Bro' Get Ur Ol' Crews Back, Tha Liks, SAS, Ur Man Ras Kass, Snoop, Dre, Em' And Then Make An Classic!!! That's What I Think!

Same here man. Ever since I heard Xzibit on Tha Liks 2nd album I have been a fan.

Yeah He Knows How 2 Put PPL Up! AnyWays, I Don't Know Do You Know But He Was In The Same Car With FredWreck On The Gumball 3000 Rally! Get Ur Walk On RemiX Is Bangin' And We Know Who Did It! I Hope There's Gonna B Some Kinda Relation With FredWreck And X, They R GooD 2Gether! Like Busta And X! :)... OK Man I'm LooKin' 4Ward To That "Alkahloliks Review"! GooD Job Man!

Nice,I enjoy reading these personal breakdowns of artists discogs.
I'm not biggest Xzibit fan,never the less I pretty much agree with everything in your review.
I felt like it was a gift and a curse to a certain extent when he got with Dre.
Lyrically he was still on point but at times it seemed like he was trying to emulate that gangsta persona.
red and blue rags in his booklet, c walking at concerts.
ha,ha
Yeah,I have seen him live mad times,heīs a pretty good live artist.
What I find strange is that he donīt really work with Fred Wreck.
Didnīt they used to share a flat in Venice?
..and Fred usually DJīs for X at shows,whatīs the deal?
That's right, Fred met Soopafly when they were roomates. It actually would be a good combo music wise.

Yeah Man! X Is Great Lyricst And What He NeeDs Is GooD Beats, He Don't NeeD Any1 Else! He Can Make A Classic WithOut Any1 Appearin' On His Album!

Gonna put his albums back in rotation. 8)

40 dayz is a top 10 west coast album imo. albums fucking perfect.
restless is one of the best produced albums i heard but i don't think the beats were as suited for x as the darker beats. still i love the album.
at the speed of lifes great also. i disagree about the beats being weak. i mean what you see is what you get? how can you not love that shit?
i wasnt really feelin man vs machine the one time i heard it but i need to give it a proper listen. i remember thinking it started off real hot but i lost interest. the bonus disk with the primo song was better then most of the album.
i gotta hear weapons from what you said. i'm overdo.

What You See Is What You Get was on 40 Dayz. But i agree with what you said fully, no way are the beats on ATSOL weak.

For some reason though that was the knock on X early in his career. Same with Ras Kass. "If he only had better beats". I did not think the beats on his 1st 2 albums were horrible at all. Actually 40 Dayz had alot of bangers on it. Very dark album tone wise. Restless is his best album beat wise and lyrically like I said I flip flop between that and 40 Dayz all the time.
