Xzibit: I have respect for 50 Cent. The way he came up through the underground is a lot like my story and now he's blowing up, too.
Xzibit: Longevity is the key and staying true to myself. I was 18 when my first record came out. Since then I have definitely grown as an artist and I portray that through my music.
Xzibit: Dr. Dre is a legend, dude. He really, really knows how to bring the best out of an artist. So when you get into a situation where you've actually got to come up with a track, he'll help you paint the picture then he'll show you how to hang it right.
Xzibit: L.A. provided me with an opportunity to make my dreams come true. There are two sides to every coin and there are two types of artists. There's a guy who really thinks he deserves everything that's happening to him and there's a guy who knows he worked his ass off and was blessed. I really feel like everything is a blessing. You know, I go to New York and I feel like it's home. I go down to Dallas or to the U.K. and feel like it's home. But I made a home in the West and I'm gonna stay there.
Xzibit: I think negative draws negative. As long as they aren't coming close to us and endangering our people they can do whatever the **** they want to do. We continue with God on our side - we're rocking fans, we're rocking millions and that should speak for itself.
Xzibit: I didn't have enough bus money to get to New York. When I went out to California, I was still doing the shit that saw a lot of my friends killed or put in prison. But I got a job in a car wash and just started hitting underground clubs, doing acappella because I didn't have a track, or a DJ.
Xzibit: We're gonna edit ourselves from now on. Why you little...
