Ever since we first heard “Free Style Ghetto” off King Tee’s IV Life album, we were all-in on Xzibit. Here was this hungry rapper, sporting this distinct husky voice with an extraordinary flow, so it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him later on become a household name.
Whether you first heard him with King Tee, Tha Alkaholiks or maybe you first caught Xzibit on Bitch Please or What’s The Difference, there is no denying that when you heard him, you knew it was something special.
We call this an interview, but it’s really a 2-hour discussion amongst rap fans and there is no bigger fan of rap than Mr. X to the Z.
On this episode we have 3 mixes with over 75 tracks highlighting his incredible career. We’ve got the classics, the features and all those obscure collabos for our underground heads.
This one of the most informative and entertaining interviews Xzibit has done.
Here’s what we got into:
• Leaving Albuquerque for Los Angeles. • Debuting on Free Style Ghetto and working with King Tee and Tha Alkaholiks. • Steve Rifkind signing him to Loud Records. • Beefing with Steve Rifkind. • Bigga B and Unity. • Sir Jinx. • What U See Is What U Get music video. • Getting the phone call from Snoop Dogg. • Dr. Dre changing his life. • The Up In Smoke Tour. • The 2Pac misunderstanding. • Working with De La Soul. • Working with Nate Dogg. • Working with LL Cool J. • Working with Pharoahe Monch. • Why the Golden State Warriors album never happened and all their unreleased material. • Saafir stories. • The Sopranos, starting an acting career and Pimp My Ride. • His golden girl acting teacher moonlighting as his sex therapist. • Signing to Connor McGregor’s Greenback Records. • Listening to Black Crows, Deftones, Peter Gabriel and Janis Jopin. • Xzibit’s hip-hop producer Mount Rushmore. • Kingmaker.
