Hit: 3 Stars
Xzibit is one of the best emcees on the West Coast. However, this album is more commercially directed than focused on the pure, street-style lyrics Xzibit came up with in the past. Though there are some good songs on his third album, there are also a lot of bad ones. Dr. Dre's beats don't fit with Xzibit's style. In fact, there are quite a few beats that don't fit with Xzibit's style here and they are not all produced by Dre. There are some very nice songs however, like "Been A Long Time" which features Nate Dogg, a classic laid-back tune, "You Know" featuring Dr. Dre which is a diss to Death Row Records and actually is not bad at all, a heartfelt dedication with Suga Free and DJ Quik to their kids with "Sorry I'm Away So Much", the remake of the old Alkaholiks track, and the "Kenny Parker Show" with KRS-One are the main highlights. Other than that, we're given wack material such as "F***in' You Right", which was produced by the amazing Soopafly, but the song is pretty bad. Also, "Rims And Tires" and "Don't Approach Me" (which features MTV's little pet himself, Eminem) are very lame and don't suit Xzibit's style. In order for Xzibit to drop another great album like his first two releases, he needs to rethink his musical direction. Even if he is selling more records now, he doesn't want to sell his soul along with them. This is frustrating because as a rapper Xzibit has grown with each album, but on this one the material is sub-par. He just needs to make some more raw street tracks, and be himself, and once this all happens, perhaps Xzibit can make a middle ground and appeal to both the commercial fans and the real hip-hop fans, similar to what Nas and Kurupt did. But until then, Xzibit can do better.Free Music Review: garbage

if you want a real xzbit album pick up speed of life.Free Music Review: One thing Missing
Hit: 4 Stars
If there is one thing that is missing from the third release from the Detroit born rapper Xzibit it is a song that speaks of his upbringing. All classic hip-hop albums have that one song that makes you really hear where the artist is coming from. The album is great even without this type of song. As always, Dre brings his immense talent to the mixing boards and Eminem even gets behind the scenes to do a track that he appears on with the X to the Z.Free Music Review: X TO THE Z

Hit: 5 Stars
I really think this is the hottest album to come out... from anywhere.. there are no 'filler tracks' on it, no annoying skits, and the only non-rapping track is the introduction... the production is from many different producers but X seems to meld into every different beat, finding the perfect lyrics to accompany the producers effort... dont approach me is a very hot song and eminems verse is blazin... the only thing i dont like about this is Kokanes guest spot... i cant stan his high pitched scratchy voice... hot LP and hopefully more to come from the illest...
