VIDEO: XZIBIT EXPLAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF WEST COAST UNITY

Xzibit sat down with Baller Status to talk about West Coast Unity and why the OG's should help the newcomers. You can read the whole article here.

"I feel like if more of us held down more of our own, it would generate and circulate throughout the whole coast. We'd have a vibrate f***in' scene here," X told BallerStatus in a recent interview, adding that he, himself, got the co-sign of an OG to get on. "How did I get on? What happens if King Tee wouldn't have come through and been like 'Hey man, not only can you drink 40s, you can rap' (laughs). King Tee came through and gave me a shot, and Tha Alkaholiks a shot. It's gotta start somewhere."
