Xzibit Announces Exit from the Hip-Hop Scene



During a recent appearance on The Adam Carolla Show with director Rob Reiner, former Aftermath Entertainment emcee and West Coast gangsta rapper Xzibit stated that he is sick of hip-hop and abhors the current condition of the culture.

Xzibit (real name Alvin Joiner), expanding on the state of the culture, stated, “There is no emotive investment in the music; for instance, cassettes, CD covers, and album covers were prevalent when we were releasing music. You have the privilege of opening it, viewing the producer’s information, and reading the lyrics. You do not speculate. “Many of the factors that once allowed us to have careers lasting 10, 15, 20, or 30 years no longer exist.”

Despite becoming more prevalent, Joiner acknowledged that he no longer believes hip-hop to be as influential as it once was. The Los Angeles emcee elaborated on this, stating, “I’m not sure if they’re doing it intentionally or not, but hip-hop no longer has the longevity it once did.”

He further stated, “Country music incorporates aspects of hip-hop.” Visualize contemporary music. When was the last time you witnessed a rock band that did not incorporate hip-hop? Although I admire Hip Hop, I am weary of it. “I desire to witness a rock band perform a steamroll.”

Additionally, the West Coast rapper acknowledged his belief that a significant portion of the younger generation is insinuating they are not true outlaws by rapping about topics they are unaware of. He stated, “I am not detracting from these children in any way, as they are providing for their families.” They are absent from the street. “At least a portion of them are not engaging in any unlawful activities.”

In conclusion, he stated, “However, I believe there is a viable avenue available at this time for someone to produce genuine content that has the ability to endure and demonstrate that it is feasible.” That is to say, an authentic emcee might have a possibility of prospering.

Comparable to Xzibit’s remarks regarding hip-hop are those of Lil Yachty, who recently stated on a Rolling Stone panel that “Hip-hop is in a terrible place” and accused rappers of failing to take sufficient risks. Below you will find Xzibit’s audio.
