I am hard pressed to name another album more slept on than this one.

It seriously doesn't get it's due, it is hardly ever mentioned out of non westcoast heads mouths.

That's because unfortunately most cats know X for Pimp My Ride and don't even know he's a West Coast underground legend..Damn shame that acting paid him more than killin nikkas on the mic ever did cause X ain't no joke :wow:

I remember the first time I heard Paparazzi :wow:
Rushed to grab a tape and hit record then called the radio station to get the name and info.
Went to Sam Goody the next day and ordered that maxi single :banderas:
X was so dope then he went and turned into them damn dudes he was rapping about on that track.
Damn shame :mjcry:

even married himself a white girl lol

Summer 1998 I remember when I copped this around with Punk Master Flex's chapter 3 and the Survival of the Fittest cd at the flea market. This was probably X's best produced and performed lyrical album. Which one of yall remember What U See What U get Now?

At The Speed of Life is his best Album lyrically and musically...and more underrated since 40days is mentioned way more on this board...

40days is dope too but it ain't touch ATSOL. Too many powerfull tracks, paparazzi, foundation, carry the weight, enemies and friends. His best work.

Personal classic

The first 3 xzibit albums are classic

Fixed.

Cats disregarding Restless in here. Probably cuz they feel it was more mainstream than his previous albums & that he got on that
gangsta shyt more in his lyrics. Regardless ppl cant sleep on that one.

I loved restless but there's something about it that's missing from the other 2..cant put my finger on it. But it went plat and that was dope.

At The Speed Of Life gets its due though, generally speaking. Maybe not as much as it should but people still acknowledge it.

It's acknowledged but most times, like this thread for example, peeps skip to 40days like ATSOL don't exist. I see it happen on this site for years. Maybe because most people didn't hear of X until What u see is what u get, that video was huge. But for me, it's not even up for debate which is his best record.

Restless hasn't aged well and I hardly bump it. His first two records are timeless.
