THE GAME AND XZIBIT END BEEF

The Game is currently in Europe promoting his latest album, The Doctor’s Advocate, which is approaching platinum status after only three weeks in stores. One of the songs on the new album is “California Vacation” featuring Snoop Dogg and Xzibit, and The Game recently shared that recording the song actually allowed him to end his beef with Xzibit.

The rapper explained, “Xzibit walks through the door. … Nose snarling, I turned into a pit bull when I saw Xzibit. There was some friction between me and Xzibit, and it was by me — me being a disrespectful West Coast artist. I said some things about Xzibit, he said some things back through the media. There was always hatred. I had that West Coast hatred…… but I shook it fast. [X] reached out his hand, I reached out mine. I told him I had this West Coast verse, played me and Snoop’s verse, he blew a little something, wrote a little something, and it is what it is: ‘California Vacation.’ West Coast unity.”

“You know you can’t shoot over the streets head when that’s where Xzibit’s music was born and bred. So with this album, we definitely took it straight back there. You know not in the street and ignorant sense where were just promoting ignorance. But we definitely have you know a lot of messages to say on this record.”

Xzibit is still promoting his first independent project, Full Circle. The rapper shared that the new album is filled with important messages. He said,
