Show Notes
Ever since we first heard "Free Style Ghetto" off King Tee's IV 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 go on to 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.
