    ayyo heres 8 reasons to f--- w x
    1. hes maybe not the most iconic scene in 8 mile but his is one of tha best
    2. i love that his peak follows dmx's peak. so u could credibly go like 8 years saying ur fav rapper was "x"
    3. i also love that xzibit - while perhaps not as aggressive or iconic as dmx - still rapped for the right to the letter X. the rapper most associated w a bottom tier alphabet symbol ay
    4. hes probably dre's greatest protege who didnt become a worldwide superstar
    5. again, dre's production w him is what i most associate w the doctor and his early 2000s heyday, beyond the obvious singles. kenny parker show etc
    6. today MTV is dominated by endless episodes of ridiculousness. makes me nostalgic and yearn for p---- my ride tbh
    7. eminem usually works best alone. but out of all his random collaborations, his work w xzibit is the most consistent (dont approach me, whats the difference etc.) my name is one of the greatest eminem songs not on an eminem record.
    8 "X" is a perfect single. and shout out snoop's classic outro

    He kinda became a meme after p---- My Ride, which sadly makes people forget about the dope s--- he has dropped. At The Speed Of Life, Restless, and Man vs. Machine are near-classics for me. He has incredible mic presence and his beat selection is awesome. His music is one of the best examples of the early 2000s west coast sound.

    Having Dre mix a couple of tracks on the new Serial Killers album, I believe we will definitely hear X rap on some Dre beats this year

    A great combo! But I also worry that the Dre influence is going to either hugely slow down the process or make sure the music never sees the light of day

    Saw that. He's been crazy active recently. He's been promising the Serial Killers album for months now. Working on a solo and we're getting Restless 20 year edition for the anniversary with unreleased music. Can he really drop 3 projects in the next 4 months?? Doubtful tbh. Especially with the amount of time with Dre!

    His first 4 solo albums are all classic in my books, very underrated ones.

    Agree like f---.

    X is unfairly sh---ed on due to p---- My Ride and a general perception but At the Speed of Life is one of the great rap albums of the 90s, and a classic. And 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz is brilliant too.

    He has other good albums and amazing songs, but point is - he is a great rapper, a great artist and should be spoken about more often amongst the greats; definitely not a cartoon.

    Great rapper. Great thread.

    At least 2 tracks were mixed by Dre, so that's also a big plus
