First I wanna tell you that I log on to my
website every day and I see all the people that talk
like the "Weapon-X" and "Lega-C"
and the rest of the people, you know "X's wife"
and all that. Like 90% of the sh*t they've got on the
website [forum] is wrong, its me, William Wallace is
my log in/sign on name on the website and I only did
it for a couple of months coz I got real busy and I
haven’t logged on yet coz there’s so much
sh*t I’ve gotta respond to, I’d rather knock
it out in one whop and then start going back and you
know releasing it like that.
XzibitCentral.com: What
were your expectations and reactions to the sales of
"Weapons of Mass Destruction"?
Well i never judge what my success or failures are
by the amount a record sells. I think once you hand
the record over to the record company, it’s out
of your hands so it’s really not up to me. I think
Loud records was a grass roots label that got the idea
of my association with Dr. Dre and put their money where
their mouth was, and put it where it was, instead of
trying to take advantage of my association with the
show [pimp my ride], you know they didn’t promote
my record because they thought they could lean on and
save money by pimp my ride and sh*t like that but they
were wrong and hip hop music is something that has to
be driven from the street level up and they didn’t
do that, they tried to promote me like Jessica f**kin’
Simpson and that’s not gonna f**kin’ work.
XzibitCentral.com: Will
we be seeing any more videos shot from the new album?
Yes, I just filmed my own video, its called "Criminal
Set" and we did it in the streets of LA with the
gentleman from Joker and it’s coming out right
now actually.
XzibitCentral.com: Will
you be staying with Sony in the future or are you looking
elsewhere?
Im not at liberty to say right now.
XzibitCentral.com: Will
we see any more Rhyme Nights?
Yes, Rhyme Night is still going to go on. Rass Kass
is home, he's actually with us right now and we're gonna
keep it going. Everything I try to do that is positive
I will always keep going, I will always keep pushing
it. I don’t think no body else is doing anything
around the place, its like so just "me me me"
so its hard but eventually we're gonna come out on top.
XzibitCentral.com: What
is your opinion on “Games” comments?
I think that the Game is a young dude that is definitely
coming into a serious game and its hard to say man,
I don’t think the dude really understands the
ramifications of really talking out of turn you know?
I mean I don’t come from speaking on other things,
I come from just actions and I don’t know I mean
if he has a problem with me im not hard to find. I think
that hip hop is going to the degree of the “WWE”
and when people feel as though they need to feel personified
by their image and what not, but im a real dude, im
a father first and I don’t think he understands
that when you are dealing from a level of realness that
all that sh*t don’t matter, its like everybody’s
shooting and everybody can be touched. I just hope that
where he's coming from is from a genuine place and if
he really has those genuine feelings towards me, he
needs to come speak and address that cause im not hard
to find.
XzibitCentral.com: Did
you enjoy your role in XXX2?
I loved it! It was my first action movie, it was a
good experience working with Ice Cube, Samuel L Jackson,
Willem Dafoe and the rest of the people, it was a beautiful
thing man, its the beginning of a new transition for
Xzibit and you know I feel good about it.
XzibitCentral.com: In
Australia we recently saw you in CSI: Miami, what was
it like working on the set?
It was good, it was good, it was fun because actually
the production staff and actors were getting into fights
while we were there so it was crazy seeing them get
into it and then try to make us feel comfortable. But
its television, television is way different than hip
hop, like you only get one chance to do it right where-as
hip hop you can do it 'till you get it right, TV is
kind of like you only get one chance to actually get
it off.
XzibitCentral.com: Do
you plan to do any more acting?
Well i've got 2 movies coming out this year. We've
got "XXX2" then i've got "Derailed"
- it’s a movie with Jennifer Anniston. In the
movie I get to beat up Jennifer Anniston, its crazy!
Wait till you see this sh*t you know what im saying,
BUT [laughing], I don’t get off on this sh*t because
I had to get into character im acting haha you understand?
I had to beat up Brad Pitt’s wife [laughing] and
NO im not the cause of their divorce; I was in London
doing a movie when they were doing their thing!
XzibitCentral.com: What’s
coming up for Strong Arm Steady?
Well, when ni*gas get their sh*t together and get their
passports straight we're on, but Krondon is here, Jelly
Roll is here, we're just doing what we do. We're going
to release an album this fall, its called "Arms
and Hammers" and Strong Arm Steady is gonna keep
moving!
XzibitCentral.com: Fans
loved your collaboration with Busta Rhymes on the track
“tough guy”; will we see more from you and
busta?
We'll see man, we'll see about that.
XzibitCentral.com: Will
you be going to Europe to tour soon?
No, I’ll be going back to the states. I’ve
got a movie to film from May till July and I wont be
moving out of the states 'till then.
XzibitCentral.com: All
the female fans want to know what’s going on,
is there a woman in your life?
Oh my god it's so wrong! Yo first of all let me give
a shout out to “Lega-C” and “Exes
Girl” and the rest of the peoples out there that
tune in to the "Xzibit's Daily Soap Opera"
- I'm not engaged, im not married, I’m single
okay! Im single! There is no miss X! But first of all
there's an Internet rumor that said I have cirrhosis
of the liver, which is NOT f**kin’ true [laughs]!
I'm not 80 f**kin’ years old alright! Actually
the title says: "pray for xzibit" and it says
I have cirrhosis of the liver, which is f**king wrong
okay, wrong! Jesus Christ - come up with something better!
Why cant it be something else, why do I have to be that
miserable while I drink myself to death hahahaha - I'm
chillin’ in Australia!! And second of all, I think
its dope that people just assume that they know that
much about me that they can just put it up on the internet
and think its the truth and fact - people arguing about
the sh*t. Let me reiterate, William Wallace if my screen
name, when I signed on there stop asking me if that’s
really how I answer sh*t or not, that's how I answer
sh*t and that’s it!
XzibitCentral.com: What
are your plans for the future?
I'm gonna do these films, get the Strong Arm Steady
record down, i've got a few more records in me... I
don’t know how many but I love what I do and I
love people that support me. Im gonna keep going as
long as it feels right and its a matter of position
that I choose to speak from. Thank you for the people
who have supported me this far and thanks for the ni*gas
that didn’t want to see me get this far because
these ni*gas tried to stop me getting to where im going,
I love nothing more that to turn around and give a ni*ga
the bird.
XzibitCentral.com: Do
you have any plans for your label, Open Bar?
Open Bar Entertainment is still alive and kicking,
we've got these albums that we need to put out, but
we've gotta deal with the obstacles and road blocks
as we get to them and then once we get to the point
where people understand what’s going on to some
people its going to feel like we just blew up overnight,
but to some people its gonna feel like we finally got
there, but regardless of which way you are its gonna
happen.
XzibitCentral.com: How
is your son, Tremayne?
He's good, 9 years old, about as tall as I am already!
There’s something in the food over there [in America],
f**k I don’t know! He is definitely aware of who
he is and he's a good dude, he's a good kid.
XzibitCentral.com: Do
you have some words to the fans?
Of course man, I log on to my site every day and I
want to thank everybody that supports my website and
everybody that comes on and says peace to X to tha Z.
I think its funny a lot of sh*t that people log on and
say as far as rumors, I get a kick out of the sh*t personally!
You know I cant respond to all of it because my time
is very restricted but I believe the fans that are here
I will not disappoint you, I have a lot of sh*t to get
off my chest but patience is a virtue and im a patient
man, im a real man and I believe that a lot of sh*t
that people perceive as man-hood is not really whats
crackin’ in 2005, so you've gotta watch my moves
and see how we become with the Strong Arm Steady gang
and thank you for the support! To each and everyone
of you, i've got love to each and everyone of you that
signs on and gives much love - to all my German fans,
Swedish fans, Australian fans, everybody around the
world and all my domestic fans Im gonna be here, we're
gonna make it bigger and bigger, strong and stronger!
