Xzibit set to star in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:21:31 +1000

Xzibit is set to star in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. The movie will be released in 2009 and will star Nicolas Cage, Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes and Fairuza Balk. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Synopsis: After severely injuring his back while saving a prisoner from drowning in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, homicide detective Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) is promoted to lieutenant, prescribed painkillers and returned to active duty. A year later, he is addicted to both Vicodin and cocaine. But his responsibilities to the force continue, and when a family of African immigrants is found massacred, Terence is handed the case by his superiors. In the convoluted moral universe in which Terence lives, it's possible to be a protective boyfriend to his escort girlfriend Frankie (Eva Mendes), look after a witness wanted by a notorious drug dealer (played by car-modifying rapper Xzibit), score drugs from intimidated club kids, regularly hallucinate about reptiles, have a lucky crack pipe and still somehow be charged with protecting the general public.

Xzibit Interview: Xzibit - The Hunger For More @ HiphopDX

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 17:04:00 +1000

Few artists as lyrically capable as Xzibit have made it to household status. Although Pimp My Ride, acting and Sprite endorsements may have led to Alvin Joiner becoming a celebrity to older generations and non-Hip Hop listeners, Mr. X-to-the-Z's formula for rhymes, not cars is "putting paint where there ain't." A relatively quiet first half of 2009 has found Xzibit touring throughout Europe. The California-based emcee credits Germany with giving him first plaque 13 years ago, and the Likwit Crew standout used the opportunity, touring with Tash and brethren, to remind everybody - including perhaps himself, that he's still emersed in the culture that built him. In a brief but powerful discussion with HipHopDX, Xzibit explains why he's plotting a return to the Rap of his roots. After the longest delay in his career between albums, read how reaching the fans has touched the rapper's heart and his hunger for more.

New Xzibit Blog Post: MR X to tha Z says: I HAVE NO BEEF WITH DIDDY!!!!!

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:17:11 +1100

Wow, so I wake up this morning and my phone is going nuts. I turn on the computer and find all this shit about me "throwing puffy under the gay bus" whatever that means. All this SPIN that you journalist are putting on the statements I made on a radio show to DIRECTLY effect a guy in a manor not intended is wrong. I got a call yesterday (which caught me off guard) from Diddy himself stating the club was an after hours spot called "space" I believe. The rumor mill that has ground this bullshit out to be the shit storm that it is, is doing so on its own accord. Like I said at the top, I have no beef with Diddy. BUT WAIT... a bigger problem I see is the negative stance these hip hop sites and blog sites are taking when speaking of gay people in general. All I can say to that is :PEOPLE GROW UP! I do NOT like to spread hate and make it a point not to do so, so this is not the way I intended this interview to unfold. You heard it directly from me ladies and gents, Im looking forward to the issues at hand that really mean something to both my fans and Diddys as well: ART & MUSIC. thanks.ALVIN "XZIBIT" JOINER

New Xzibit Blog Post: THE FIRST 100 DAYS........

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:30:11 +1100

WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, I must say I never thought I would see what I witnessed yesterday. I was always told "It would be a cold day in hell before we see a Black President." Well Im proud to announce that it was 28 degrees in hell yesterday. There is a huge amount of accomplishment that went into yesterday, reaching back to MLK and the entire civil rights movement. I sat on the couch all day switching channels to see all the coverage, of course FOX news talked shit the whole way. President Obama showed concern for Ted Kennedy at such delicate time and truly showed what class is supposed to be like. (thats right I said "class" fuck the term "swag" I hate that shit.) The american people seemed to be pleased all in all but at the same time I pray that they are REALISTIC as well. President Obama has a HUGE task in front of him, (havin him out doing the running man till 4am aint gonna help either) he is actually at work as we speak. It's gonna take time to clean up the mess we have been going thru for the last 8 years and THEN get to the agenda of his cabinet. You know "us" tho. We want immediate gratification and quick results, but we have to be better than that now. We have to be accountable and set some examples for the kids who are growing up during these exciting times. Be involved when and where you can, I think so many people did not feel patriotic because of the long standing disconnect between government and "real people" or the "streets". now its not like that. If any thing people will start being more attentive to the political process, which will in turn fuel people wanting to show up. I am all for it. My hope is with the new president but my faith is with the man up stairs. Just wanted to share my thoughts on yesterdays events. Let me now how you felt about yesterday in the comments, would love to see what your take on it was......Oh please leave all "nigger" and "I hate nigger" rhetoric else where, I want objective discussion.

New Xzibit Blog: BACK 2 THE FUTURE & AUSTRALIAN 'MEXICAN' FOOD.....

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:10:08 +1100

So today its Saturday the 4th of Oct. about 2:41pm in the afternoon, but at home its still friday. weird right! When I leave here I will go back in time and land in LA on a monday even though I leave on tuesday. Fuckin confusing if you dont know shit about international time diffrences. I am alright out here, I had a 15 hour travel day yesterday, and when I got off the plane one of the homies "WILDCHILD" from "LOOTPACK" was at the airport about to go do his own gigs out here. crazy. I was beat when I got here so I chilled and tried to relax. I got up early to go for a run and ran into a "mexican" food place and HAD to come back when it opened. Now this is a big deal because I LOVE mexican food, IM biased to "NEW MEXICAN/ SOUTHWEST" style food becuase I used to live there, but southern cali has its share of great places to eat as well. To be in australia where there are NO mexicans, I had to see what it was all about. Well folks I would like to tell you they got the right direction with the menu BUT it took a weird turn and they had like, BBQ chicken / RIBS and Cajun potato wedges, the nachos had chilli on em. (like the shit you eat in the winter time) the taquitos were cool, cant fuck that up too bad anyhow. Never the less, I ate and had to come tell you guys. Basicly im fuckin bored. I go on stage tonight at 8:30pm and play for an hour. so tommorow I will tell you how the performance and the after party goes. If you live out here in australia come to the show in Sydney tommorow night, @ the Forum. And bring some BACKWOODS!(sweet aromatic cigars) were out. LOL

New Xzibit Blog: I GOTTA GET READY TO ROLL......

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 05:12:58 +1000

All the way back to Australia on the 1st, for a couple of shows. So today I have rehershals with all the fellas. In Australia there is a festival called "GRAZZHOPPER FESTIVAL". Its a music festival with rock, hip hop, & dance music. That show is in the Geelong region of Aussi land! (you have to google it for exact location). Then the next day I will be in Sydney Australia to rock a indoor show. I love to travel and perform in diffrent countries, it opens up so many avenues and thoughts when I get to come back and create new music. My set is a hour long so rehershals go from 6pm till 10pm tonight.I take live shows very seriously, I want to bring the album experience to the stage and leave the crowd with a connection, there are TONS of artist who shine on wax but SUCK live....that aint kosher. Hip hop is not how good you can market yourself or how many guest apperances you get, Its how you bring THE MUSIC TO LIFE and how hard you get the crowd rockin'. Call me old school, but thats what it's all about. KRS ONE said "RAP IS SOMETHING YOU DO, HIP HOP IS SOMETHING YOU LIVE". Soak that one in and apply it if this is what you want to do with your life. Its not easy, but it sure is FUN.STAY FOCUSED!!!!!XZIBITRIP: PAUL NEWMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR MORE INFO ABOUT TOURS AND SHOWS GO TO MY WEB SITES! XZIBIT.COM OR XZIBITCENTRAL.COM
