Take It Personal (Ep 164: Xzibit Tribute + Interview) with Xzibit


Listen Later


Ever since we first heard “Free Style Ghetto” off King Tee’s IV Life album, we were all-in on Xzibit. Here was this hungry rapper, sporting this distinct husky voice with an extraordinary flow, so it wasn’t much of a surprise to see him later on become a household name.


Whether you first heard him with King Tee, Tha Alkaholiks or maybe you first caught Xzibit on Bitch Please or What’s The Difference, there is no denying that when you heard him, you knew it was something special.


We call this an interview, but it’s really a 2-hour discussion amongst rap fans and there is no bigger fan of rap than Mr. X to the Z.


On this episode we have 3 mixes with over 75 tracks highlighting his incredible career. We’ve got the classics, the features and all those obscure collabos for our underground heads.


This one of the most informative and entertaining interviews Xzibit has done.


Here’s what we got into:

• Leaving Albuquerque for Los Angeles.
• Debuting on Free Style Ghetto and working with King Tee and Tha Alkaholiks.
