So I'm at track 9 of 'Compton', I'm ejecting before I break out in hives.

The Preemo song, 'What a Mess' is the only dope song I can recall from him on the following album. Xzibit was NEVER that dope, but he was down with the dopest crew and had ill beats. I always thought he got over on voice rather than bars.

E Swift > Xzibit, rap wise.
Man 40 Days is a certified classic.

He was a good compliment to the Alkaholiks imo

My main issue with Xzibit is just he's not a pop rapper and that's what he tried to do and it came off corny and forced. 40 Days, imo was a classic. Restless is cool to listen to but whatever, same with Man vs Machine. I did kinda like WOMD.

Restless worked well as an "underground rapper making the transition to mainstream but not entirely watering down his sound" kinda thing for me. Very solid 8-8.5/10.

To me, this never works. Ever. When I heard Hydraulics and that noisy ass, shrill beat on the first track I knew it was over for X.

:dead::dead::dead::dead::dead:

I liked that song...but I can't lie, I can understand where you're coming from.

That type of thing usually doesn't work but I enjoyed the album for the most part.

Best part of the Been There Done That project is the string arrangement during the ballroom dancing scene at the end of the video.

...and I don't even think it made the album.

:snoop:



I saw a bunch of white kids, hipsters, suburbanites, and latin folk praising it on twitter.

It was at that point I realized I would never give it a spin.
That string arrangements was :blessed:and I was pissed it was only on the video. But it is on another artists album, I just can't remember who. Maybe Ras Kass.
