TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Xzibit on Wednesday night at KDAY L.A.'s celebration of his 2000 album.
X took a trip down memory lane with us on how he was coming in hot off the heels of being on huge records such as "Bitch Please" with Snoop Dogg and across Dr. Dre's "2001" album, and onward to the wildly successful "Up In Smoke Tour" of 1999.
"Restless" would go on to be X's biggest album, ripping through platinum plaques in no time but X tells us it was 1996's "Paparazzi" that took him to the hip hop perch he currently sits on.

Doors were opened -- car doors to be exact -- through MTV's hit series "Pimp My Ride" and X says while they were ahead of the curve, the series made him a global phenomenon!!!
We also had to get Xzibit's take on The Game's recent proclamation that he holds dominion over the Compton rap game.
Sorry Game ... X is rolling with Dre!!!
