Xzibit is a name familiar to millions across the world. It belongs to a
man as comfortable inside a recording studio booth as he is behind a
television camera. He is a performer as likely to be seen on-stage
thrilling listeners in Germany as he is on cinema screens in blockbuster
franchise entries like xXx 2 and The X Files: I Want To Believe. Let
him tell it and Xzibit is simply "a self-made from poverty." A Platinum
recording artist first and foremost, X to the Z is also a superstar with
a formidable fanbase that spans the entire globe. X first came to the
attention of attentive Hip-Hop listeners as a member of the revered rap
collective Likwit Crew. Founder and West Coast Hip-Hop veteran King Tee
enlisted raucous group Tha Alkaholiks and newcomer Xzibit into the
clique as original Likwit representatives. From there, the tenacious X
unleashed his 1996 debut, At The Speed Of Life. Considered by many to be
an underground rap classic, it spawned a definitive West Coast Hip-Hop
cut in the cautionary "Paparazzi." "That song still gets a crazy
reception from my fans," says its creator. "It first blew up overseas,
but it ended up travelling everywhere. It's a timeless record." With
enlightened Hip-Hop listeners swarming to offer their approval, he
swiftly followed this release with another Hip-Hop staple. Sophomore
release 40 Dayz & 40 Nights was lauded by critics and fans alike,
and its lead single "What U See Is What U Get" spent an astonishing six
weeks atop the chart on BET's Rap City. X's mainstream breakthrough
came courtesy of one of Hip-Hop's most memorable guest verses. Appearing
on Snoop Dogg's atmospheric "B Please," his brash aggression was a
perfect foil to Snoop's established, considered drawl. With an integral
assist from X, the single became one of Snoop's most successful in
years. The X-Man's turn clearly impressed the track's producer, the
legendary Dr. Dre; He soon offered X a spot on his epic Up In Smoke
tour. Joining a bill that included the afore-mentioned Dre and Snoop,
Ice Cube, and the controversial Eminem, a captivating, showstealing X
was introduced to thousands of thrilled concertgoers night after night.
"That tour was a turning point in my career," acknowledges X. "I was
rocking capacity crowds in arenas across the country, and everyone was
feeling what I brought to the table." Forging a strong artistic bond
with Dre, Xzibit got the production giant to oversee his next solo
album, the Platinum release Restless. Expanding Xzibit's fanbase far
beyond the undergrounds constraints, it spawned the unforgettable "X," a
worldwide smash hit synonymous with the MC. The Dre and Xzibit pairing
was so phenomenally successful that the Doc also served as the Executive
Producer of Restless' successor, the star-studded Man Vs Machine. "It
made sense to collaborate with Dre again," stresses the artist. "We have
a dope chemistry and Restless had sold over a million copies - why not
capitalize on that momentum?" Man Vs Machine featured appearances from
career affiliates and fellow Hip-Hop heavyweights Snoop Dogg and Eminem,
and soon earned its creator another RIAA plaque. Having now established
a devoted fanbase and gained a reputation as a relentlessly energetic
live performer, Em wisely enlisted Xzibit as a headlining act on the
mammoth, globe-spanning Anger Management tour. With his vibrant
personality showcased expertly through his music, Hollywood inevitably
began to show interest in the ascending MC. "I was open to the offers,"
explains X, "Because they allowed people to see the other sides of me.
My raps wil tear your head off, but I'm not always the aggressive dude
from music videos." His stint as the host of MTV's overwhelmingly
successful Pimp My Ride led to X accepting an invitation to host the
networks prestigious European Music Awards. It also prompted numerous
notable film roles, including a starring role in 2006's sports drama
Gridiron Gang. Continuing to hone his acting skills, X can currently be
seen alongside Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes in the critically-acclaimed
Bad Lieutenant. Amidst silver-screen acceptance and MTV hosting
duties, X found the time to release two more albums: Weapons Of Mass
Destruction, which featured the Timbaland-helmed club favorite "Hey
Now," and the independent release Full Circle. Although the latter
featured some of the most popular names in music, including T-Pain and
The Game, X made it clear that his primary allegiance remained to his
fans. Dedicating the poignant "Thank You" to his wealth of supporters, X
went on to give a rousing performance of the track on David Letterman's
highly-rated programme. "It was important that I made a song like Thank
You," X claims, "because I wanted to remind all the people that love
Xzibit that I put my music above just about anything. Music is the
foundation of everything that I do, and my fans make it possible for me
to keep recording. It's only right that I thanked them." In 2009, that
love for his listeners remains a constant. Despite the securement of
several more impressive film roles and a well-received guest host spot
on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Xzibit is still committed to making
the unadulterated and unforgiving Hip-Hop that motivates so many. He has
lent his booming, unmistakable vocals to both thankful up-and-comers
and renowned veterans - expect to hear X's gruff baritone on Dr. Dre's
future masterpiece Detox. Amidst such extracurricular duties, he is
recording several of his own high profile projects. These include a
collaborative release with Cypress Hill frontman B-Real and promising
New West representative Young De, and a fervently anticipated new solo
album. As a preview of this new solo, X has teased listeners by offering
"Hurt Locker." A thunderous and anthemic precursor, the excellent track
was produced by Scoop Deville, the man responsible for Snoop Dogg's
unavoidable hit "I Wanna Rock." A household name that will continue to
dazzle on the big and small screen, X never forgot his Hip-Hop roots. He
will continue to warrant the respect of all those within earshot, and
as a lyricist is intent on proving his skilled penmanship at any given
opportunity. "I still love it as much as I did when I first burst
through the door," confirms the man, "And I'm going to keep spitting
like I'm that unsigned kid desperate to showcase himself." This
inspiring grind, boundless enthusiasm, and enviable talent means that
Xzibit will remain familiar to millions for as long as he desires.
Bully’s is located in the grandstang, which is the home of regular horse race action.
