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

[Big Mel]

He's dropped some dope stuff between but it's his best project since SOI for sure.

I actually have all those half good mixtapes he dropped. Institutionalized, ADIDAS etc. They're forgettable.

E Swift > Xzibit, rap wise.

Yall are taking this Xzibit hate to insanity levels. I'm all for ignoring 99% of his garbage work after 40 Dayz, all for calling him out for leaving the Likwit crew in the rearview after Dre snatched him up, but come the fukk on. And this is coming from somebody that actually fukks with E Swift on the mic. (As a producer, I can entertain arguments for him possibly even being in the top 10, if definitely not top 15).

Aside from obviously Tash, Xzibit was the illest MC in the whole squad, and it's not even close. He more than held his own on numerous collabos and had plenty of dope ass verses and tracks before he even linked up with Dre.

Through the power of apple music, on your iPhone, which was recently synced with your MacBook Air?

Purchased the CD from hmv and my phone carrier gave me a free HTC android so I don't use an iphone

 

[Da King]

I know the record....'Restless'. It's TERRIBLE.

Restless was dope as hell, easy 4 mic album

 

[Big Mel]

Restless was dope as hell, easy 4 mic album

So, does that then make his first 2 albums 5 mics?

Restless is garbage.

Yeah they got some gems on a few of those. Nothing classic but some solid material here and there.

Here's great example of a terrible piano Dre/Storch/Aftermath era beat.

dre still rapping about compton?

nikka been living in Beverly hills since the first Beverly Hills Cop

 

[Lord Mecca]

Disagree but Speed is a great album. His 2nd best for me.



Now here's an underground rapper who tried to go mainstream and failed with every attempt.

This song isn't the best but I'll take an album of this over some of what he tried to do on the shelved Van Gogh album

I liked What You Want

"Shake what ya mamma gave ya/and Imma give you what ya daddy gave ya mom that made ya"

 

[Art Barr]

just for fun big mel (pause) name some albums you are currently bumpin from other artists

That wasn't wack, it just wasn't better than 40 dayz and 40 nightz.

xzibit actually as a vocal is of the highest quality on those albums, tho.

that is the beauty of those amidst some of the hook and beat choices.
him on the mic wise,...he is murdering tones and pockets expertly all through those records, tho.
we could only wish someone could come along and be way better.
than how good xzibit is vocally on those album.

It's like rap music for people who live in rural areas. Goes well with Dada gear.
