Biographie
Xzibit est né à Detroit, où il vécut jusqu'à la mort de sa mère quand il avait 9 ans. A 10 ans, il écrivait des rhymes pour se divertir car il n'avait même pas la radio. Son père se remarria et ils déménagèrent dans le Nouveau Mexique. Il commença alors à avoir des problèmes. A l'âge de 14 ans, il fut retiré de sa maison pour 2 ans. "I was just wilding", dit-il à propos de ces années. A 17 ans, il décida qu'il devait déménagé encore une fois. Il se fit assez d'argent dans la rue pour rejoindre la Californie.

En 1992, Xzibit commença à travailler avec le producteur Broadway à Los Angeles. Il était supposé apparaître en tant que Shady Bunch avec Ahlee Rocksta, avec la production de Broadway, mais ça ne marcha pas. Xzibit décida alors de rouler en solo avec son pote Pen One qui produira plus tard Enemies & Friends sur At the Speed of Life.

Peu après, Broadway le remarqua encore une fois et le présenta aux Alkaholiks qui à leur tour le présentèrent à King Tee. Xzibit apparut alors sur la chanson Freestyle Ghetto sur King Tee IV Life. Il travailla alors avec les Liks' Coast ][ [%b%]Coast apparaissant sur Hit and Run et sur Flashback, où il exposait son côté humoristique en tant qu'un des Baby Babbas. Steve Rifkin, CEO chez LOUD le remarqua rapidement et lui fit une proposition.

En 1996, Xzibit fit ses débuts en solo avec At the Speed of Life. Avec son style unique, sa précision mortelle et l'intensité naturelle de sa voie grave, X to the Z lâcha un des meilleurs albums de 1996. Il déchira, restant toujours vrai dans une industrie qui était gangrennée par de faux rappeurs gigotant en survêtement.

"I couldn't pick a better time because what I'm bringin' to the table is fresh and new..."

"I named the album "At The Speed Of Life" because there's a whole lot of shit that niggas go through. I know more niggas that is off-the-wall and crazy, runnin' guns and shit than I know regular Joes that all they want to do is feed their kids. That's their speed. But it's weird how everything is coinciding together, and at the same time is moving in all kinds of different directions."

Paparazzi, le puissant single de At the Speed of Life, est une chanson qui a pour but de montrer à quel point le hiphop ressemble maintenant à Hollywood. Il affirme : "It's a shame, niggas in the rap game only for the money and the fame."

"I did this album for a lot of reasons other than the flim-flam and the whoopty-whoop, the pictures, the travel and all that shit," dit Xzibit. "This album is heartfelt."

En 1998, 40 Days & 40 Nightz suivit et eut de très bonnes critiques tout comme At The Speed of Life l'avait fait 2 ans auparavant. Pendant les deux années qui suivirent, Xzibit travailla dûr, apparaissant sur de nombreux albums comme le Top Dogg de Snoop Dogg, 2001 de Dr. Dre aux côtés d'Eminem et sur Tha Streetz iz a Mutha de Kurupt. Chacune de ces apparitions le faisait connaître un peu plus du public, et lui conférait de nouveaux fans. Il fonda le groupe The Golden State en compagnie de Ras Kass et Saafir.

En 2000, il sortit son troisième album solo nommé Restless. L'album rencontra un franc succès et rapporta son premier Disque de Platine à Xzibit. Restless se vend encore très bien grâce à des bons titres comme X, Front 2 Back, Loud & Clear, et Get Your Walk On. Restless marqua aussi les débuts du propre label d'Xzibit : Open Bar Entertainment.

L'année 2002 semble avoir été encore meilleure pour Xzibit avec son quatrième album : Man VS Machine sur lequel sont présents Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg et Nate Dogg. Ses premiers sons comme Multiply, My Name et d'autres sont déjà reconnus comme des tueries...

En 2003 il participe à la tournée The Anger Management Tour Europe en compagnie d'Eminem, Cypress Hill, D-12, Obie Trice et 50Cent.
En aout de cette même année, à la sortie d'un restaurant de Los Angeles en compagnie de son amie, il se fait tabasser par une dizaine de mexicain et reçoit 50points de suture... La carrière du rapeur est alors menacée mais il réconfortera vite ses fans en créant le groupe Strong Arm Steady avec Krondon, Phil Tha Agony et Mitchy Slick. Le groupe sortira plusieurs mixtapes et un DVD en 2004.

  • Titre : Xzibit - X
  • Année : 2007

Paroles :

Yeah, ladies and gentleman
Broadcasting live to you and yours
It's Mr. X to the Z, Xzibit
Yeah, bounce it
Come on

The first day of the rest of my life
X stand behind the mic like Walker Kronkike
Y'all keep the spotlight
I'm keeping my rhymes tight
Lose sight of what you believe
And call it a night
This ain't the light-weight, cake mix shit
That you're used to
Teflon territory you just can't shoot through
You gon shoot who? (Who?)
Not even on your best day
Rollin' the Wild West way, givin' it up
Leavin' the whole world stuck not givin' a fuck
Laid in the cut now we break through in the rut
Hennesy and Orange Juice baby fill up a cup
Quick to grab Mary Jane by the butt and squeeze
Loosen up, let your hair down, and join the festivities
Overcrowd the house like lockdown facilities
Bitches be quick to give me brains while I post the range
Going up and down my dick like the stock exchange

[1] - (X) Rearrange the whole game with my rugged sound
(X) Won't even say your own name when I come around
(X) Stay on top but remain from the underground
(X) to the Z and we all in the family

[Repeat 1]

Ever since Xzibit has spit, been on some pimp shit
Approach every woman like a potential mistress
Shine bright, make sure that X stay tight
Cause tonight I might meet my next X wife
Mr. Big Chief Reefa, Xzibit use his dick like a Visa
I run it through and money come out
Runnin' your mouth, I'll have somebody run in your house
Ravel your spouse and have a little fun on the couch
Now you know that it was bound to happen
I came to give you what you lackin'
Whenever you hear them other niggas rappin
Rockin' chains, stadium, paladiums, cracked craniums
My whole skeleton is dipped in titanium
Drop tops sittin' on twenties
Using rappers like crash test dummies
Stackin' real estate and money
It's funny how things change overnight
When you thinking right
I beat the odds like Ike beat on his first wife

[Repeat 1 2x]

What an event?
We hardcore 100%
Making it stick, Los Angeles proudly presents
The real deal, how does it feel?
No special effects
Yank the chain off of your neck
Demand the respect
Now all your conversations sound strange to me
It be like everybody around me done changed but me
I stand alone on my own two feet
Stagger tracks, strangle the beat
Restless no time for sleep
Niggas be weak, I'm concrete like Bejamin Greet
It's a very thin line between a foe and a friend
Straight to the chair
(Not these niggas again)
Come back, bounce in the spot and slide right in
I ain't trying to see nothing but progress, regardless
Home of the heartless, move right, remain cautious
Represent nothing but the hustle and struggle
Hennesy, rock plenty of ice, making a double, now SCREAM

[Repeat 1 2x]

[Snoop Dogg]
So there you have it; A-B-C, D-P-G-C
X to the motherfuckin Z
Mr. Xuberant, Xtravagant, Xtrodinary, Xciting, X-a-lotta
X-O with a little bit of Xtasy
X-ing your bitch-ass out if you tryin to test the G
And what's the recipe? Xcalibur weaponary
And we shoot Xceptionally
That there is hot- X marks the spot?
Fuck naw, X spots the marks
Xclamation point, niggaz!

  • Titre : Xzibit - Concentrate
  • Année : 2007

Paroles :

Xzibit]
Meditate, levitate
Greetings from the Golden State
Mr. X, to the Z
Concentrate, come walk with me
Your shit sound so awkwardly
I don't rhyme I just stomp down beats
Real estate, section eight
Which one would you rather take?
Concentrate, move that weight
Show me how you regulate
Hold up, wait, that shit's fake
Get these niggaz up out my face
Shake the room, bend the spoon
Turn this up now, stay in tune
Hypnotized by the way she move
Take your time you might arrive too soon

[Chorus One]

[Chorus Two: Xzibit over 4X of "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo"]
Bring that back, what was that?
Oh my lord, she got back
So precise, so deattached
Oh my God, who is that?

[Xzibit]
Hibernate, consummate
Man was made to procreate
My estate, generates
As if my family name was Gates
Days of grace, lift big plates
Why be good nigga, go be great
Hit the breaks, crack them crates
Have you on the run goin state to state
Contemplate, demonstrate
Mind over mayhem, no mistakes
Lift some weights, eat some steaks
But you don't really want that face to face
But let's relax, check your traps
Don't let yo' concentration snap
I love the way she arch her back
Like how a muh'fucker 'sposed to handle that?

[Chorus One] + [Chorus Two]

[Xzibit]
Breath control, touch yo' soul
Just maintain don't lose control
Participate, congratulate
Cause everything else'll be seen as hate
Remain in place, the same mindstate
Get off yo' ass and celebrate
Congregate, associate
Don't fuck yo'self procrastinate
Dilate, to an all time great
Calculate the next move I make
Crack the safe, keep that ace
in my waistband just in case
I'm no rat can't run yo' race
Not too good don't fit my taste
I love the way she make that shake
Makin it hard to concentrate

[Chorus Two] + [Chorus One]

  • Titre : Xzibit - Multiply
  • Année : 2007

Paroles :

Xzibit
I've beeeeen this way and I can't stop (ah)
Hands on the ball and I won't drop (no)
Half-assed rhymes that you can't watch (no)
It ain't cause I want to it's cause I got-ta
Get it Crip while the gettin is good
before the game is 10% skill and 90% Hollywood
I don't need that, I don't believe that
E'rybody gon' get hurt, if I do dirt
I flirt with the idea of quittin' the game
Nah!! I'ma evolve continue to change
It take brains, balls and backbones to get it on
and keep it on, we keepin it movin, to each his own
So I spit about it, whatever I feel about it
I'm just bein real about it; X get hot nigga forget about it
Speech don't fail me now
Dedicated to the enemies and friends that hold me down

{Refrain: Nate Dogg}
(We) back on line (We) came to ride
(We) deal (We) stack (We) multiply
(We) stay on the grind (Until) we die
And back for mo', cause we can't get enough

Xzibit
Above the rest, accept no less
Go ahead, check the game, be my guest
Somethin brand new and heavy to get off my chest
Win time after time 'til there ain't none left
Hardhat, punch the clock, back to work
I'm bigger, stronger, faster, built to hurt
everybody and anybody who come to my party
like they ready to get roudy and touch somebody
Who's that nigga y'all came to see? "X!"
Often imitated, but cannot be, "X!"
What's next, collect respect like paychecks
Straight to the bank with my bitch and have safe sex
What do you believe in? I believe in
seizin the moment, livin and dyin to spit with a vengeance
Here for redemption - been around forever
Y'all cats were just too blind to listen

{au Refrain}

Nate Dogg
It ain't my fault.. we keep droppin hits
And you can't spit like this, so I'm takin yo' bitch
It ain't shit changed.. we gon' bang like this
And I'm drinkin this fifth, we still don't take no shit

Xzibit
I got a "Sixth Sense," that tells me you ain't worth six cents
I'm sick with my sixth sense
Whattup Doc? I'm gettin down to business
Crooked ass the cops to the Rampart district
Loose yourself in the music, move it or lose it
Abuse it, let's booze it, please don't confuse it with the
next man, it's the X Man rollin
Stand firm, solid as the ground I'm holdin
Make mine +Golden+, permanent +State+ issue
Stacked with the wealth that you can't take witchu
Long range missile, if we got issues
I'ma squeeze this shit and nobody gon' miss you
I'ma keep swingin 'til the medics come get you
We busy, stay off my line, you can't get through
Peep the design from the mastermind
Yo Dre, bring that shit back one more time!

{au Refrain, x2}
