Can we admit that pre Aftermath/Dre X-Zibit was better than what he became when he joined that camp?

[Deadman187]

I agree. His first 2 albums are the best out of his catalog, plus i feel like a lot of the production on Restless hasn't aged well, and his lyrics kinda regressed

Likwit X >>> Aftermath X

 

[trap101-ETHout-Allegri-In]

Don't Approach Me is one of the best Xzibit songs off that album....


That and the song X

Best of Things..... underrated track...

Best of Things..... underrated track...

If it wasn't for that Aftermath hookup, X wouldn't have been acting...let alone hosting Pimp My Ride.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Restless is his best album, so no.

 

[Gains]

they forced x to be some thing he wasnt

They did...

Steve Rifkind knew the power of street promotion.

He actually let the artists be themselves. In Fat Joe's book, Joe said that Steve Rifkind grew up in a Gangster family and how he was turned on by that shyt.


Hell, Prodigy pulled out a Mac-10 at the table when someone asked how QB was before they signed the deal.

You got a .pdf of the Fat Joe book ?

Restless his best album. Better production.

At The Speed Of Life was his best album. Hands down. Restless was fire too tho especially when it dropped. I bumped it a lot.

Yea when symphony dropped I thought X was gonna be something incredible from an artist standpoint… but he became a good journeyman once Dre and the label got to eem imo…. sometimes it isn’t the person it’s the orbit they choose to be in and Xzibit was never gonna be the IT guy wit Dre….he played his part cuz the money was equa/better than likely what he thought he could do elsewhere I guess…..

 

[Big Boss]

Nah he was sharper with Dre

I love the older albums but ‘X’ is one of the hardest commercial tracks of all time

Classic

 

[up in here]

Yeah them first two albums he was really spittin. Once he got with Dre he lost some of his edge

 

[ADP]

Actually feel he did both sides of underground and mainstream justice until a certain point

Wouldn't mind a new joint from him, underrated...
