It’s still unclear whether Xzibit will eventually rise to the level of Eminem and Snoop, but Restless demonstrates Dr. Dre was right to add the rapper to his investments.

Is slept on so much. Also, Fucking You Right gets WAY too much hate. Shit is hilarious.
classic and great album by xzibit
truly in my opinion one of the most underrated hip hop albums ever, this album is pretty damn good with tracks like front 2 back, DNA, dont approach me, been a long time, etc. xzibits delivery and flow is so unique and it goes hard, especially with these dre produced beats. his pen game is also very on point in this album. only after dont approach me the tracklist gets a little inconsistent with tracks like fucking you right, rimz & tirez, double time, ... read more

certainly the best album to have a song be kinda covered by limp bizkit with a feature from the original creator on it
