  • Classic Material... Art In Motion. Keep it Lit

  • indeed, the main goals to achieve, and to succeed, have it laid out for ur seed... old shit is real

  • Before big daddy kane fucked Madonna

  • "Too many friends to close, you might collapse from an overdose". This line has stuck with me since I heard this when I was a teenager. It took me 16 years to finally figure out what he meant. And the toll was high. Live and learn!

  • that album cover is so terrible

  • @dethronethesonofgod Way to judge a book by its cover.

  • E-Swift killed the beat. X killed the lyrics. One of those albums thats flawless.

  • long time ago i knew all the lyrics of this album by word.. still one of my faves, should collect all of them to see the whole evolution. even the more mainstream stuff is worth listening to at least once.

  • Still listening to this in 2011....Dope Beat.

  • ) That`s freaky ) First track of the First album ) is the BEST track of this artist )

  • does someone know who produced this album?

  • @sonofserbia1389

    E-Swift, dj Muggz, Diamond D, Craig Sherrard, Saafir, DJ Pen One and Thayod Ausar.

  • I listen to this song every now and again to remind myself that Xzibit was once real...

  • @ArbyWanKenobi he never went full pop.. i still got mad respect for him

  • aha my brother got my this cd when i was 11 dope 2 here it again

  • Hell yes. Real music is alive, it's just like gold, you gotta look everywhere for it now; underground, in the past, wherever.......

  • Real Underground shit.......Best album!!!!! WEST COAST 4-LIFE

  • i remember i got this album back in '96 and i was shocked that a L.A. brother could rap to beats like this...he was something else back than....this album is REAL hip-hop

  • x your the best your lastest album suck sorry

  • i am e but i am beginning to see what it meens. sometimes i am trying to ddo something different but he' it cant be that i am an exact copy of someone else right. maybe its just a mental condition i am living in and make it my own story by not just talk in a to easy way, or maybe i gotta say these thing before i go back to sleep so my thing will be notified

  • Who do you picture when you think about struggling?

    Kids in the bed, no food stomach bubbilin'

    Or niggas in the E-class heavy drug smugglin'

  • I MISS OLD X!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LORD this album is a classic, top ten all time faves personally! I bumped this heavily.

  • One word: ILL. Wish I had a blunt right now.

  • I have always loved this track. It is one the best songs by Xzibit. I lost this cd :(

  • Too ill for me, but I heard it anyways!!!

  • his best song!

  • de niro!

  • Real.

  • darkest track ever

    EVER

    period

  • this beat is just too mad..im sorry.

  • Thiz iz history, Real Rap, Real West Coast, thiz iz what many niggazz today forget...

  • I remember seeing a music video of this song on MTV. Why isn't it on youtube?

  • Daaaaamn I wish X was like this today still. (Lyrically)

    Everything before Weapons of Mass Destruction was thought provoking from X...not everything....but you get my point

  • @SicSheist hes new album is good tho

  • ''who do you picture when you think about struggling? kids in their bed no food stomach rumbling or niggaz in the e-class heavy drug smuggling..MOVING''...

  • @NUTSY187 HARD LINE!

  • most undrrated album of all time

  • "Emcees be full of shit, but they style be hollow" X tellin it like it is

  • classic shit......used to be one of my favorite rappers.....this album was on of the greatest of the 90's a true underground banger...every song....very real,raw and gritty

  • Hey everyone , i am a 16 year old musician.

    Please check out my page and tell me what you think,

    i really appreciate it , thank you !

    Btw , Xzibit is great , awesome song (Y) .

  • X to da Z maaaaaaan !

  • takes me back a few years !! cheers

  • 90's rap is the best!

  • This shit goes down real hard

  • His Best track ever.Period!

  • Before hip-hop was all about drama/ anything for a $ before KANE fucked MADONNA/

    sick and true line its too bad xzibit eventually fell into this category but this is def a sick underated album.

  • This is the best rap song/album ever. Doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's a shame xzibit contradicts himself in his later career by rapping about money & shit like that.

  • @liammilligan he isn't the first to do so, and not so much contradiction. Some go that route to get the quick money to feed their families. X was one of them. He had that sound and look that could take him places, and he jumped on it. Music, movies, tv show..the man succeeded, lets be honest. I wouldn't call him a sell out.

  • Svaka mu cast! :) (I am Serbian too) Anyway for me Xzibit is so underrated,and i really hate that. When i started to listen rap,first rappers were Xzibit and Ice Cube wit his "Hell Low".

    X to the Z Xzibit! :)

  • @Stralle92 shout out to serbia and all the hip hop heads around the world that loves REAL HIP HOP and not that washed up commercial shit....peace from the east!

  • @getmoneystayreal Im doing that :) Anyway i used to like 50 Cent also,but now he turned to be faggy,so i listen lonly songs before 2007 :) People here like Hip Hop,but sadly younger people like more than this Akon,T-Pain and guys like them, i listen them too,but u can not compare them to real rappers (real hip hop) like Xzibit,Dmx,Ice Cube,2 Pac and guys like them, Also i kinda like Rick Ross,not him but his rhymes,he has talent.

  • yeah rick ross i dope...he has good beats!

  • @getmoneystayreal fuck outta here with that rick ross shit

  • @Stralle92 rick ross is a cop lawl.

  • @canadianproductions1 I dont care about his past. Listen to him a litle bit and u will find out that he has talent. His lyrics are awesome :)

  • I like his music free.

    heh

    ...

    heh...

    heh

  • this is the beautiful life--> peace to all!

  • Xzibit is hard.. Respect from Holland

  • arguably the best song he ever made!!!! P. Heights(for "shae556")

  • xzibit like 2pac had a story to tell.

  • cool song

  • I'm still in denial that I lost this cd. This album is one of the best I've ever heard. Xzibit shined on this track too. Hip hop lives in this song. Peace.
