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.

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:32:30 +1100

In a recent interview with Frank Spotnitz, one of the writers of X-Files 2: I want to believe, he praises Xzibit's acting skills.An extract of the interview from Movieweb:Movieweb- There are a few new additions here with Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly and Xzibit. Did you guys write any of these roles with any of them in mind, or how did you come across them for these roles?Frank Spotnitz- We didn't write with Amanda or Xzibit in mind. Xzibit was a big discovery for us. He just came in and destroyed in the room and he became our first choice after he read.Xzibit will star in a number of big budget movies in the near future, including "Bad Lieutenant", "Fencewalker" and "Pinkville".Stay tuned to XzibitCentral.com for more information about these movies in the near future!

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

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:10:08 +1000

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

New Xzibit Blog: Today is my birthday.......

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 10:39:23 +1000

And I am 34 big ones!!!! To some....im a young man, to others I may be a old man depends on which side of the fence you are on at the moment. There's no party planned, so dont ask. I did one in vegas last year at the palms in las vegas, it was dope. I might do one next year for 35, to me...thats a milestone.As I get thru the day im getting emails and text messages from "friends" saying happy birthday and it feels good that they actually remembered it. I got a suprise yesterday, my girl and my son gave me a star wars millieneum falcon and a birthday cake. I might not seem excited about my birthday and you are right. Not for any bad reason in particular, I wasnt raised celebrating my birthday. I had my first birthday party at 18 or 19 I cant really remember. My parents were Jehovah's Witnesses, so we never celebrated bithdays or holidays, accepted or exchanged gifts or said the pledge of allegence. Only until I was an adult and on my own, did I start "having" birthdays and birthday partys. You know im always reading between the lines so here is what I observed. The celebration of YOUR birthday, 9 times out of 10 ends up being a reason for YOU to get everbody else drunk...... Im a horrible person to throw a suprise party for as well, Simply because I ask to many questions and I know when people are lying, and I really pay attention to body language. Most of my friends cant hold in a fart..... let alone a secret. SO I wasnt looking to party this year. No, this year I went ocean fishing out of Long Beach for my birthday. I went alone to clear my thoughts. There were 9 old guys on the boat, we went out about 6am and came back the dock about 4pm. There was a guy with no teeth on the boat, his name was "SMILEY"... of course, and he and the rest of the guys on the boat went on and on about how much they despised each other and wanted to throw each other over the side, it was hilarious!!! Then they shared sandwiches and fig newtons they each had brought from home that morning. They were from all diffrent walks of life but on the boat, they were 1 and the same. These guys had no idea who or what I was getting up early with the "die hards" and they could care less, I was one of the guys when I bought the 1st round of Bud lights, but when I caught a 10 lb link cod I became the enemy! LOL It was .. that! I came home and had dinner with my family with the fish I had caught ( and I caught the biggest fish on the boat and WON the jackpot 50bucks....LOL ) and my son was excited because he is doing so well in school, his history teacher asked him to host the 1st 15 mins of class for him. I had a great time yesterday, it was diffrent from all my other birthdays if you had to line em all up and look at them side by side. But to me it was best. I got to see the ocean relax and clear my thoughts. I have alot of work to do right now, I am feeling like its time to get this music up out of me and get it to you guys asap. No time for BS ,that way.... when I get to where I need to be........Then I have a REASON to celebrate. Yours TrulyAlvin "XZIBIT" Joiner"Virgo's my not rule the world, but you gotta come to us to organize the troops!!!!!"

New Xzibit Blog: DR DRE AND THE LOSS OF ANDRE YOUNG JR.........

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:38:02 +1000

I cant even begin to express my sadness for my dear friend at this time. Dr DRE has been a mentor a friend and a real guild thru some of the best and worst times in my carrier. When I lost my son Xavier in may it was a horrible experience for my family and I, and to have this happen to someone in the circle as well brings back all of those feelings right back. My son was alive for almost 2 weeks and passed, It hurt like hell, Andre Young Jr. was 20 years old, so Doc got to see him mature to a young man. Its not natural for a parent to bury a child at any point in time of your life, trust me. My prayers go out to the Young Family and I would like to ask all of you to do the same. Ladies and gentlemen life is extremly short, dont take a day you are alive for granted, if you have kids, love em, hug them and tell them! You never know when its going to be the last time you get to say it to them. My heart goes out to my big homie DR DRE! Alvin"XZIBIT"Joinerps. If you have a way to go to the aftermath web site go visit and leave any thoughts for DRE and his family. thanks.
