3rd solo album, titled "Restless". After being
released in December 2000, the album was met with great
reviews and earned Xzibit his first platinum record.
Restless was selling strongly due to a great selection
of singles including "X", "Front 2 Back",
"Loud & Clear", and "Get Your Walk

own label, Open Bar Entertainment. Xzibit also released
his own DVD on open bar, titled "Xzibit Xposed".

 2003 - 2004
|
'The Golden State Project' fell apart
due to problems with Ras Kass' Record Label. Xzibit
formed 'The Steady Gang', with Mitchy Slick, Krondon
& Phil The Agony. Xzibit hosted the smash hit MTV
show 'Pimp My Ride'. 'Weapons
of Mass Destruction', Xzibits 5th solo album, was released
towards the end of the 2004. X to the Z proves he can
still hold his own in the rap game. Xzibit flexes lyrical
muscle and substantial song-writing power throughout
the album, with top notch battle-ready verses such as"LAX"
and "Klack". |

to Xzibit's already massive list performances. X has
some major roles in both "Derailed" where Xzibit plays Dexter, and in
the box office smash "xXx: State of the Union"
(xXx 2) where Xzibit plays "Zeke" - the arms dealer.
