“Got a call from Paul, told me shit wasn’t working, exchanged words, I told him tell me that shit in person, he probably told Em, and by the way that he said it, unapologetic,  twisted it, made it about him, I saw Slim and he said he didn’t recognize me, was it that or did he let another man define me?”

Xzibit’s new album Napalm hits stores tomorrow. On “1983” we are giving an extremely introspective version of Mr. X to the Z. You may remember back-to-back Eminem features on his two Dr. Dre-produced albums in the early 2000’s, however not much happened between the two afterwards. With audio recordings of his late mother spliced between the verses, Xzibit details his parting ways with Paul Rosenberg, his mother passing and his resentment towards MTV. Listen below.
