  • Summary: The "Pimp My Ride" host returns to rapping after a two-year layoff, but without long-time producer Dr. Dre.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 8
  2. Negative: 1 out of 8
  1. The only thing really dissapointing about "Weapons of Mass Destruction" is that Xzibit seems to have once again forsaken his Alkaholiks homies.
  2. 80
    Brimming with energy and depth. [Nov 2004, p.160]
  3. Ethical incontinence notwithstanding, Xzibit is an undeniably charismatic vocalist, with a gift for pure, jolting, testosterone-packed aggression that leads to some rather magnificent moments.
  4. The beats are from the worst Ice Cube album ever made and the rhymes are sub-Coolio. [18 Dec 2004, p.51]

    Xzibit's Album Has Amazing Beats And His Style Is Unbeatable

    This isn't the best rap album ever made, but its far from the worst. While I'm thankful that Dr. Dre didn't lend his 'cinematic music' talents to this release (which usually results in an album that can only be listened to once before it gets annoying), Xzibit lacks experience as a producer, and it shows. The beats and overall quality from song to song is inconsistant; one second he is detailing how he is going to thrill the crowd, the next second he talks about how much the world sucks. There are also too many filler tracks; omit 'Saturday Night Live', 'Judgement Day', 'Ride or Die', and 'Crazy Ho', and rearrange the remaining tracks, and Xzibit would have a much better album. As it is, its just cheese--but sometimes cheese is nice. I just wish it was a steak. Collapse
