By: XzibitCentral.com mainstream America and has become a household name along the way, thanks ultimately to the wildly popular MTV show, "Pimp My Ride" (http://www.xzibitcentral.com/ But despite the TV and movie fame, X has a solid history of being one of the West's fiercest lyricists, so he's back on the music type, working his latest release, Full Circle (http://www.xzibitcentral.com/ BallerStatus: Xzibit: I'm just here to do promotion for my European tour, which is about to kick off in Brussels. It feels good to be back doing music again. I'm tearing it up. I'll be in London on the 14th of May (London Astoria) and I'll definitely be hitting the stage with music from my old albums to the new ones. It's about that energy. BallerStatus: Xzibit: Yeah man! I just got something from Klashnekoff the other day and also Roots Manuva. I'm up on all of that, I got you! BallerStatus: Xzibit: I worked with a few producers on this and we recorded it within two months. It was a matter of just wanting to get certain things off my chest, so it was something we banged out quick. It felt good because the movement was there. I've never finished an album in such a short time before. BallerStatus: Xzibit: It was just a one-off licensing deal with them. I would like to see a new business model for my new album in order to move forward. I don't know what the next album is going to come out on. I like being independent and I think distribution is the key. We'll see what happens. BallerStatus: Xzibit: I definitely have a few more records left in me as I grow and mature. I try to put that into the music and it's a release and form of expression that I don't have anywhere else. I can't get that feeling with films or TV shows. It's a totally different platform. As long as I perform to an optimum level and I feel satisfied with my performances, hopefully the audience will grow with me and see the direction I go in. BallerStatus: Xzibit: I've definitely seen a few on there. Xzibit.com is the main domain that I've been sitting on for a long time since 1996 when I first came out. I just got it back, so I can do what I want with it. I've also got my MySpace site where I've got like 3 million plays. I don't check a lot of my messages ,but I do look at the ones on the first page I see when I log in. I'm not a Myspace freak and can't be on it all f---ing day. BallerStatus: Xzibit: After "Gridiron Gang," I had to fulfil obligations with "Pimp My Ride." Now I have to put my priorities right. If the right film comes along, then I'll jump on it, but I want to focus on the fans and my music, which are the catalysts of what's happening. BallerStatus: Xzibit: There are two more seasons lined up, but we'll see where it goes. I've seen a couple of episodes of the "Pimp My Ride UK." It's good that they're expanding the brand and so many people can enjoy the program. BallerStatus: Xzibit: Nah, this was my first time. It was really good. I know there are a lot of rumors going around on the internet that I lost my licence, but come on, it's not that serious. I got a fine just like everybody else. They can't do sh--. It's not like it was the Netherlands, thank you very much. I would never speed in the Netherlands. It's not news that I got a ticket.
