This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. For the uninitiated Xzibit is the dysfunctional member of the Likwit crew, comprised of Tha Alkaholiks, Rass Kass, and Safir. And for those who slept, he is also one of the rawest rappers out there. 40 DAYZ AND 40 NIGHTZ is a testament to this mc's lyrical prowess. Aided on the production tip by Sir Jinx (who produced some of Ice Cube's earlier joints) and Butta (Westside Connection's "Bow Down"), this is one of the best summer albums of 1998.
Vibe (9/98, p.290) - "...Xzibit proves himself worthy....His ruff'n'rugged discourse meshes tightly with compelling, darkly lit tracks..."
The Source (10/98, p.222) - 3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...contains a scrupulous collection of songs....His voice reverberates with a husky gruff that's neither distracting nor annoying..."
Rap Pages (10/98, p.121) - 4 (out of 5) - "...40 DAYZ AND 40 NIGHTS is reminiscent of Hip-Hop from the late '80s through early '90s and provides yet another triumph to represent visibility for the true MC..."
Xzibit is a respected rappers in the West Coast underground. The Detroit-born/L.A.-based MC created a nice buzz with his 1996 debut, AT THE SPEED OF LIFE, which displayed Xzibit's fierce, technically dazzling flow, and a creative emphasis on skills rather than on gangsta bombast and commercial aspirations. A string of lauded guest appearances and a collaboration with Dr. Dre in 2000 moved Xzibit into the mainstream, but it was the success of his highly-entertaining MTV car-detailing show, PIMP MY RIDE, which premiered in 2004, that ultimately made Xzibit a household name.
