"Man people's is tripping this is one of the best albums that came out that year.



He raps about all different things from struggles, to wilding out at the club to just straight lyricism...



The lyrics , the flow, the beats is: Wow: X is back, considered yallselves warned...



(This limited edition besides being digipack and having way much cooler artwork than the regular, includes a bonus dvd with Mean Muggin music video, trailers for Restless, Strong Arm Steady, And a cool 20 minute documentary with the making of the album and touring around in Europe, Norway and other places, highly enjoyable, also includes the S:A:S)"

What's up with all these watered down wasted Beatz????

"Whatever happened to the OLD Xzibit when he was in his PRIME!!?? Yo this album is maddd whack!! I know he's got the lyrical skill, and I respect him for that but every emcee knows that you need good rhymes AND BEATZ. When hip hop started...it was ALLLLL about the beatz. I'm only feelin 5 songs on this album. Only tight songs are #'s 2,7,8,9,and 16. Don't waste your time on listening to all the other commercialized SELL OUT beatz! Yo Xzibit, I got some advice....take us back to your ALKAHOLIKZ Roots...Remember them days?? Tha alkaholikz and Xzibit...wasn't that great? I only recommend Xzibit's first 3 albums. Xzibit doesn't have any other good albums other than his first 3. And yo.....even his third album "Restless"..THAT one was even leaning more towards the mainstream commercialized diarrhea bullcrap. But it was still aaight. It passes. But I recommend y'all DEFINATELY go cop "At the speed of Life" and "40 Dayz & 40 Nightz". Those first two albums was when X to tha Z was at his Prime! And he showed respect to the Underground! Keep it tight y'all, and Don't sell out. Peacey Wease."

"This album blows for a couple of reasons. 1. Xzibit doesnt sound as hungry as he did on his first two albums. 2 his group, Strong Arm Steady are lyrical misfits(I mean these dudes are wack like Hillside Scramblers and American Cream Team wack). 3 the production done by Jelly Roll is awkward(his beats sound like Battlecat's production on coke). The Good:Criminal Set is good and Keri Hilson provides a dope chorus for Ride Or Die. Back 2 The Way It Was is one of the better cuts on the album because it vaguely reminds you of the old Xzibit. Honorable mentions:Judgement Day and Hey Now(mean muggin). The Bad: Lax is bland to say the least and Xzibit sounds like he is going through the motions on that track. Scent Of A Woman is X's failed attempt at a song for the ladies and it should have never been recorded. Cold World needs to be redone. Its not necessarily awful but it is kind of weak even for an Xzibit track. The Ugly: Saturday Night Live and Mutha***** should have been Michael Jordan slam dunked into the studio trash can. The latter having the dumbest hook since Rubberband Banks. Crazy Ho is so bad I'm not even going to waste time to explain it. Beware Of Us not only has a corny beat that sounds like it was produced by Eminem,it also has a horrible performance by Xzibit's wack crew Strong Arm Steady and one of those dudes sounds like Bizarre of D12 choking on a biscuit. Not only do they ruin that track they also ruin Klack and the other member sounds so off when he rhymes. Busta Rhymes does a tepid performance right along with Xzibit on Tough Guy and that hook sounds like they came up with it on the spot plus the beat provided by Hi-Tek is one of his lamest beats ever. Bottom Line: This is Xzibit's worst album period. I've been listening to him since At The Speed Of Life so I know what he is capable of and this album doesnt show that at all. Just lukewarm raps from him and trash raps from his crew(who he needs to 86 with the quickness). What's messed up is that this will be somebody's first time hearing a full album from him and think that this is the best that Xzibit has to offer. Far from the truth. Start with At The Speed Of Life and stop after Man Vs. Machine. This is his worst effort. Dont let anybody tell you different."
