 (32 Customer Reviews)
As part of the Dr. Dre posse that's been growing in size and stature since the early '90s (see Eminem and Snoop Dogg), Xzibit continues building on the success of 2000's RESTLESS with his 2002 follow-up MAN VS MACHINE. Staying true to his West Coast roots, Xzibit keeps the beats fat and bouncy for a number of like-minded souls including Dre (the hip-hopera "Symphony In X Major"), Nate Dogg (a rubbery "Multiply"), and M.O.P. (a raw and rough "BK To LA"). "Heart Of Man" even manages to work up a good flow based on a sample from Toto's "Africa."
Other impressive collaborations find Xzibit throwing down with Eminem and Nate Dogg (an ominous "My Name," the pointed "Losin' Your Mind with Snoop, and "Harder," a team effort with The Golden State Project featuring Ras Kass and Saafir alongside Xzibit. The native Angelino also goes old school on "The Gambler," a slow-rolling joint featuring plenty of sampled soul grooves, a raspy Anthony Hamilton rhyme, and jazzy flute arrangements. With roots deep in the heart of the Left Coast sound, Xzibit is one more piece of the puzzle that ensures Dre and company will be around for the long run.
Contains a bonus disc of 3 extra tracks.

Xzibit Man vs. Machine Songs Man vs. Machine Music Review Average Rating: (3.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Horrible way to follow up a great album
I was dissappointed hearing this after RESTLESS I thought this guy was going to blow up big but he dropped the ball hard and fast on this one. "Multiply" and "sypyony in x minor" and "say my name" are tight so is "choke me spank me pull my hair" but it in my ears and eyes was just not enough good quality songs to save this cd. NOT WORT BUYING DOWN LOAD IF ANYTHING for a good 1 or 2 time listen not worth spending your hard earned money on

 This is Xzibit's best album
There is only one song on this album that i thought was crap. And thats the one with Anthony Hamilton. I hated Anthony on Xzibit's music and i hated him on Ying Yang twins stuff. He ruins all songs hes a part of. Other than that there is nothing bad about the album. Say my Name makes the album alone worth the buy.
