Citing the sources

Hey Guys - My name is Justin, i run Xzibit's Official Fansite - http://www.xzibitcentral.com. I've noticed how poorly cited Xzibit's Wikipedia page is, so from now i will go through the information and edit it to reflect citable references.

I speak to Xzibit often, so if there is information which may be incorrect i can verify the information over the phone.

If anyone has a problem with this let me know, but as you will find, XzibitCentral.com has more correct information in one place then all of the various Xzibit websites put together.

Thanks for your time, Justin Russo - XzibitCentral.com (http://www.xzibitcentral.com)

DOB

Isn't his birthday Sepetember 18th of 1974, not January 8th? I don't know where the January 8th thing comes from.

Fansite link removed? It's a vault of information...

I was just looking at the Xzibit page on wikipedia and I noticed that one of the admins has removed the link to XzibitCentral.com - the official fansite which Xzibit actually says publicly is his Official site.

I've read the page about fansites and I do not understand why the link was removed.

The page talks about how many fansites do not have much information, but if you have a look at my site it is rich with information that isn't on wikipedia.

It's not like I'm running this website without Xzibits permission. Xzibit gets on the page every few days, I even spoke to him yesterday about the website, he's keen to help promote it.

Just go to the site and listen to the shoutout X made, he obviously thinks the site is valuable...

Can you please tell me why it cannot be put up on the page for all Xzibit fans to access?

Even on the page about External links it states: Links to be used occasionally - "On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such. "

I hope you take the time to check out the site and realise that it isn't just a groupie saying that their artist rocks their socks, the website has taken 3 years to get where it has and is fully supported by the artist - its not just a backyard job, its a professional effort.

Thanks for your time, Justin Russo - XzibitCentral.com (http://www.xzibitcentral.com)

Just received an email from "Can't sleep, clown will eat me", a wikipedia admin - he said its fine that the link goes back up - as per email response from him i'll post it back up again!

Thanks

another album to add

 Xzibit - Appetite For Destruction (Mixtape) (2004)

I have it and its real but It's not on the article under Xzibit's albums. Contact me at mr._x@shaw.ca when someone agrees and adds the album. Thanks.

aliens and ghosts

Shouldn't his theory that ghosts and aliens are only encountered by whites be included here?

haha umm you have a source for that? Tutmosis 00:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/18082004.htm http://www.alienresistance.org/bufon.htm mentions it briefly Evilbu 09:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

so why was it removed now? Evilbu 15:15, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because it looked like vandalism. I mean, seriously, it looks like someone's having you on. Add the references to the page if you want it to stick around. Rob 21:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well I put it back, and the first URL has been added to external links. Now I really don't see why it should be removed. It is correct, it is proven, and it is NOT racist to put a theory of this particular person about racial differences on this page. His theory is not really racist (well if you find that racist don't watch Family Guy) and EVEN if it was, Wikipedia's articles about Hitler aren't only about his artistic interests right?? Evilbu 18:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

why isn't any information about his life appear? non rap career

I think his idea that only white people see aliens is not encyclopaedia content. It isn't a theory, he is simply saying that such things do not exist. --Jaymo 16:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His new album sold more

Xzibits album has sold much more the 22,000 so please get the facts right and fix this

Pimp My Ride is fake

Every time i watch this show Xzibit picks up a barely drivable car from an upscale neighbourhood. He needs to switch locations to the ghetto. and how come the car's never/ever have a license plate? not even a dealer one.

If the car was from the ghetto then its going to get stolen and if they put a puting the license plate in the show is illigal

Sometimes you can see the plate, but the numbers are censored.

New Album

Someone added More Than Just A Game... as the name for his next album but it's false. as said in an interview with him. He said it's false and he has no idea where is it coming from. Football 7 16:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feuds rewrite

Could somebody clean up the 'Feuds' bit of the article? The tone of it doesn't really fit with the rest of the article, and the listed lyrics are incorrect (the line is 'Get a hearing aid', not 'get a hand grenade'). Additionally, it suffers from some grammar and spelling issues.

I would put my hand up to do it, however my grammar is pretty poor at best. However, if anyone wants to actually listen to that diss track, you can download it from http://www.xzibitcentral.com/audio.php - enjoy and hopefully the Feuds section gets a clean up.
