Damn,what a great read for a hip-hop nerd like myself. gave me something to do while my old lady watched sex and the city...good shit homie, props
On each album, I have a signature song on there that I produced or did work on. For instance, on the Chronic, I did Stranded On Death Row, on Chronic 2000, I did XXXPlosive, on The Firm I did Phone Tap. On Snoop’s album, I produced Doggy Dogg World and all of those were pretty serious singles.At the time I was not getting the…, I mean people always knew what I did, I would get phone calls from different celebrities or people that were in hip hop or in the business that knew. But the credits were not in print like it should have been, but I never had a problem with it. I always compare it to a college education, you learn and then you go out and do your thing.In between that though, I produced Hello for NWA on Cube’s album. That was a comeback for them at the time. It was a big record out here on the west coast but working with all those guys, I got to say man, it’s like when people play the Lakers, they bring their best game. All these cats ALWAYS came with it, even guys like Hittman that you never heard of.

As far as I know the original is a King T song. Then it became Way I Be Pimpin, then Xxplosive. He very easily could have played a part in the production of that song. To what extent I don't know. I don't see a reason to not believe him though.
Yeah, "Xxplosive" was originally a King T song called "The Future". Hittman said that in one of his old interviews.
