he's been doin' flicks from what i read what's up wit napalm ?
-
You can see his Twitter account and do some research.
But from what I know album is coming out this Summer, or in October, not sure, but this is the year. It's has bunch of features like : King T, Alkaholiks, RBX, David Banner, The Game, Wiz Khalifa, Dr.Dre, Slim The Mobsta, E-40, Jay Rock, B-Real + few other names, he wont tell about, and when I asked him about Snoop he said maybe yes maybe no. Napalm (The song from Travis Barker's mixtape wasn't in final mix when they released it) is gonna feature a turntable guy from Slipknot group along with Travis on drums and 1500 or nothing on Production. 2nd single is "Louis XIII" produced by Dr.Dre wich features Alkaholiks and King T. Productions : 1500OrNothing, Dr.Dre, Symbolic 1, BeatButcha, David Banner, Jelly Roll, Rick Rock. There's also a song wich features voice of his mother, named 1983 and they did it on classic way, writing a sheet for it, with a guy who was producing for B.E.P. and some other top selling names. Napalm video is set to be released next month I think, if they don't change the date again. More news soon.

How do figure that? I believe the material would be nice but nobody would give a shit and he would sell 567 copies in the first week.
So exactly how does the game need that? and Im not just talkin sales but do you really believe it would create an impact?

wit the proper push he could atleast go gold.

LOL at the mainstream = what makes a good MC
-
lol @ "heavyweight". X hasnt been relevant in the mainstream since like 2002 wit "Man Vs Machine"
he still relevant as far as west coast hip hop is concerned.
-
xzibit aint droppin no gold album. his career in my opinion is kinda over. he should just give up the mainstream appeal and give us some at the speed of light shit! stya underground.
-
lol @ "heavyweight". X hasnt been relevant in the mainstream since like 2002 wit "Man Vs Machine"
he still relevant as far as west coast hip hop is concerned.
i dont think so. Xzibit hasnt been relevant in teh media/mainstream or even hiphop-cricles for a longass time. not a "heavyweight" anymore

I agree with you. The album will be dope and X can still spit. But there will be no impact. Not on the charts, It wont get him on tour, No buzz will be created... Nobody will even talk about it except for maybe a few forums but uuhm.. yeah..
As far as other rappers who I would want to drop an album to make an impact / get the west some real attention...
I would say a Game album with real backing, a Kendrick Lamar album and a Black Hippy album with proper backing as well.
Other than that I dont see anybody who could do it. Maybe that 1st generation shit? but not really sure on that. I wouldnt put my money on it.

I disagree about no 'no buzz, no talk except on forums etc' Xzibit still has appeal. If you're saying those other acts can do well 'with good backing' the same could be said for pretty much any artist. Xzibit can still bring it. First and formost he needs to focus on making good music, in the age of social networking etc. the buzz will follow.
And 1st Generation hasn't got a hope in hell of doing anything but nostalgia touring and some CD sales to collectors and shit. I love those guys but their impact will be zero in the scheme of things

Well X did put out some singles a few years ago and absolutely nothing happened? I think it will be the same this time.
The dudes I mentioned could do way better with some backing because they already have fans/followers IRL and on the internet. I know X has fans too but he is soooooooo far below the radar.
And their stuff is more recent thats why I think it would be easier for them to create that real impact.
No new fan of hip-hop bumps Best Of Things, Front 2 Back, Paparazzi etc. today but they do bump How We Do, Hol Up, Rigamortis etc. etc.
I think the problem though with most rappers today are the fact that they are all fuckin junkies. Like that 1st Generation group.. Look at all those names... but all they do (Im guessin here and also judging from the videos weve seen) is smoke weed all day and freestyle whenever they are awake. lol
I bet you Wiz Khalifa could not tell you off the head when his debut album dropped. lol

Lol yeah I think a lot of rappers are just coasting along, complaining bout low sales but still hoping to be the 'next big thing' again (like whoever) off the internet buzz train...but it doesn't work like that. Unless you're an internet trend like Kreayshawn who'll be forgotten eventually. The only way these guys will blow up again is working hard on their pen game and working with real producers not beat-makers IMO.
And some artists can have a huge following online but still be on the breadline (like Crooked I) coz he's got the type of fans that don't pay for their music - otherwise he would have dropped an album long ago.

dude hasnt even been in a Hollwyood-movie since like 2007.
he's done
lol at "still has appeal in the mainstream"

so, X is a celebrity to u, cuz he had a small role in a Nic Cage movie from 2009?
Xzibit is bankrupt, the only thing he has to worry about is his bankbalance, not his career.
if u believe that X is a major ballplayer in the industry today, u are desiluisoned
the last time he had it crackin on the charts was during the Dr Dre-heyday, "man vs machine" (that was 10 years ago), n hes strugglin as an actor in Hollwyood. hardly gets roles, save an occasional part in a straight-to-dvd or independent filmrelease evry now n then

one of the only older rappers ( to hit mainstream ) that can still spit , but he needs a dope producer to give him a direction for the album .

In answer to the small part of your post that relates to music..Xzibit is a West Coast heavyweight spitter. As I originally said.
I'd take an Xzibit album over the majority of so called artists coming out of the West. Including the 'nostalgia rap' coming from the DPG camp, the myth that is Detox, anything Eminem does with Rihanna in the pop charts, and that guy 'I would be nothing without Dr. Dre' The Game. Only other dude from the West that deserves his props in a major way is Madlib (obviously he's primarily a producer though). And E-40 for keeping his grind on all these years.

Some new Xzibit is what the game needs.
He's about he only heavyweight the West has left
one of the only older rappers ( to hit mainstream ) that can still spit , but he needs a dope producer to give him a direction for the album .
word. he definitely needs great production and like you said direction because he's an exceptional lyricist he just gotta put together a cohesive record.

If you're saying those other acts can do well 'with good backing' the same could be said for pretty much any artist. Xzibit can still bring it. First and formost he needs to focus on making good music, in the age of social networking etc. the buzz will follow.
And 1st Generation hasn't got a hope in hell of doing anything but nostalgia touring and some CD sales to collectors and shit. I love those guys but their impact will be zero in the scheme of things
Well X did put out some singles a few years ago and absolutely nothing happened? I think it will be the same this time.
The dudes I mentioned could do way better with some backing because they already have fans/followers IRL and on the internet. I know X has fans too but he is soooooooo far below the radar.
And their stuff is more recent thats why I think it would be easier for them to create that real impact.
No new fan of hip-hop bumps Best Of Things, Front 2 Back, Paparazzi etc. today but they do bump How We Do, Hol Up, Rigamortis etc. etc.
I think the problem though with most rappers today are the fact that they are all fuckin junkies. Like that 1st Generation group.. Look at all those names... but all they do (Im guessin here and also judging from the videos weve seen) is smoke weed all day and freestyle whenever they are awake. lol
I bet you Wiz Khalifa could not tell you off the head when his debut album dropped. lol
Lol yeah I think a lot of rappers are just coasting along, complaining bout low sales but still hoping to be the 'next big thing' again (like whoever) off the internet buzz train...but it doesn't work like that. Unless you're an internet trend like Kreayshawn who'll be forgotten eventually. The only way these guys will blow up again is working hard on their pen game and working with real producers not beat-makers IMO.
And some artists can have a huge following online but still be on the breadline (like Crooked I) coz he's got the type of fans that don't pay for their music - otherwise he would have dropped an album long ago.
true. i be peepin' muthafuckas twitter pages and shit and they can have like 2 or 3 million followers and sell like 90k. if you don't go out and support your favorite artists shame on you.
This. Internet self proclaimed 'hiphop headz' spending their whole lives online.. bumpin music and talking bout their favourites, but wont spend a single $ on music
How are people expected to eat when everyone else wants a piece of the pie for nothin
they go and cop the bullshit instead.

so, X is a celebrity to u, cuz he had a small role in a Nic Cage movie from 2009?
Xzibit is bankrupt, the only thing he has to worry about is his bankbalance, not his career.
if u believe that X is a major ballplayer in the industry today, u are desiluisoned
the last time he had it crackin on the charts was during the Dr Dre-heyday, "man vs machine" (that was 10 years ago), n hes strugglin as an actor in Hollwyood. hardly gets roles, save an occasional part in a straight-to-dvd or independent filmrelease evry now n then
Oh, the hate...
Let me get it straight, X is working on this album since 07' and believe me, he got bunch of so-called "mainstream" cats on there. Getting Dre back on his album is tight, but let me remind you, X had 4 songs produced by Dre for his WOMD album, and none of them did the album. Why? None of them were in final mix, so he didn't felt them. Saying that he needs some "mainstream" cats on there to bring himself back on map is so wrong. Remember back in 2000-2001 everybody wanted him on a song, he did over 100 guest appearences, so it means guy can spit. I think he paid his taxes, or else how could he pay for productions on the album. He's starring in the new movie about catching Bin Laden, he got also new movie where's Slim The Mobster called "Get Money", and he's ready to drop his album. About the tracks he did before (Phenom, Hurt Locker, HFOU) they were "internet singles" they never meant to be on the MTV or some other TV channel, but it got large amount of radio play. With this album, production and guest appearances he's gon be back where he belongs. Trust me.
-
he's gon be back where he belongs. Trust me.
i doubt it. Dre-production doesnt equal guaranteed success in 2012. thats a naive way of thinking.
besides, X owes over 1 million $ in tax evasion.
last thing on his mind is probly his career (which has staggered since 2002)
only reason he blew up was cuz Em and Dre co-signed back in the day when the "Up In Smoke Tour/Chronic 2001"-things popped off n raped the game, n he managed to keep the spotlight on him for a few years when "pimp my ride" was crackin.
today - he stars in independent straight-to-dvd crap & he'll probly sell verses for 500$ soon, he's not a mainstream phenomenon anymore.
Xzibit is a dope artsit, but if ur waitin for him to come back n "save teh west" u'll probly be disapointed.

LOL they already doin that? How lame. Still cannot believe the american people actually think they caught and shot him.

"Hey Now/Mean Mugging" from WOMD got plenty of radio and video play. X just killed his own commercial appeal by pulling aDre and not dropping an.album and fuck all music for 5+ years.
I was at a show of his last year, was a small club venue and it.didn't even sell out. There was no promotion though and I think.that's X's biggest problem, a lack of marketing.
He can still spit though so I'm looking forward to the album

No current artist can 'can save the west' - you'd either need a collaborative effort, similar to Dre's 2001....and we're talking at least as good or better. Or a totally new artist who would have to literally be the reincarnation of Eazy-E.

I don't care about relevancy, mainstream appeal, sales, blah blah blah. I just want to hear some new Xzibit because it's long overdue and about time. I bet his new album will be a solid effort.

Kendrick is overrated. Too damn much. You can agree but Im sure you gon disagree. Man Xzibit was doing his thing when Kendrick was learning how to drive a bike. You cant compare one veteran with Kendrick. OK you can, but you aint making point. Kendrick is good, he's one of my favs right now, but Xzibit is West Coast veteran, so comparing them two prove you don't have any knowledge about West Coast hip-hop. Hate on me, go ahead IDGAF, I just said something that everybody can agree with. And for me Bishop was better than K.Dot.

i aint hating dogg your entitled to your opinion. but seriously? this shit is ridicolous. who cares if someone was one a pedal bike when a nigga was rapping? nas was barely a teenager when rakim was spitting. so whats the point of age? absolutely nothing.
but you haven't proven how kendrick lamar is overated? how dude is always talking about real life and his lyrics are crazy. you heard his verse on "illuminate" or on "ADHD"
listen im not an xzibit hater because he has his great tracks as well and i MEAN GREAT!(the foundation,paparazzi,birds eyes view) but he was never on no crazy quotables shit to me. and thats just my opnion. and the not having knowledge is stupid homie i grew up on this shit and been on this site tooo long. but your saying kendrick lamar is overated then got the nerve to say he's one of your favs right now? really?

Man, try to listen to Xzibit's song and think about it when you listen to it. Paparazzi, Carry The Weight, Heart Of Man, What A Mess, THANK YOU (<That's biggest classic song to me) Cold World, Judgement Day, Highest Form Of Underestanding (<Too Real) Black & Brown just to name few if you need quotables... Let's be honest Kendrick is overrated here and everywhere since he signed to Aftermath. I remember when he wasnt there, with his K.Dot name, there was one thread about him and dats all, but now, it seems like ya'll listen to him since day one, but no. You just can't compare those two. In any way possible. Xzibit is West Coast veteran, and he has proved himself for that spot. But whatever everybody has it's own opinion, I respect yours even tho you're totally wrong and it's true, you can see how much people is laughing at you for saying that. No hate, just opinion... Stay safe.

I don't think it's possible for him to be over rated, he's barely underrated, he's pretty much gotten his proper recognition, When ever we see a top 10 List of West coast MCs, I've never seen him in 1. I think because he's a meme his popularity grew, that and because of the TV show. But to actually say he's over rated is probably the most bullshit thing I've heard since people labeled 2pac Black Jesus. :grumpy:
-
how can he be overrated about 1 album (restless) most of the people don't know the other albums of him.
The restless album, yes, that's overrated.
