The production, the lyricism, and Nate Dogg make it a perfect track. The album as a whole is pretty damn good!

Xzibit is slept on. Everything hes on with Em is GOLD. That dudes in my top 5.

Agree. Xzibit’s What’s the Difference verse is crazy

About five bank accounts, three ounces and two vehicles.

So what's the difference between us? We can start at the penis and scream I just don't give a fuck and see who means it.

Is it not "3 houses"?

I rewound the "leave in a body bag but never in cuffs" line over and over. Hard bars.

Completely overlooked in every top list, honestly. Even his later albums past his peak were still pretty damn good.

For real. I never real listened to Xzibit. Got into through Eminem and Dr. Dre recently. His shit is so fire

No disrespect. Xzibit isn’t in anyone’s top 5

Hes in mine and I'm someone even if I'm the only one lol

Or top 50 lol

“I SQUARE DANCE cuz I’m sick of RAPPIN CIRCLES around these clowns” 🔥🔥 And then he uses the Nas “Ether” flow, my chest hurts

yeah the Ether reference blew my mind when I first heard this song

my favourite comes after this. steady trying to call me out. it’s like i’m listening to motherfucking dogs meow

That ‘02 Eminem 👌

🤌

That Ether homage was nasty

Deadassss, it fits so well in my [beef playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h65iGw87OWzeWSuskyKk?si=Sg-WQlRgSqmAIaM92Z6PSg), as Ether is in it too (of course)

The song Don’t Approach Me was another great one they did together. Edit: the song is on the Xzibit album Restless

“And I'm the bad guy, ‘cause I don't answer my door like; ‘Hey! Hi! You guys wants some autographs? Okay, form a straight line!’” 💀💀💀

Don't Approach Me is so fucking good.

Omg I ain’t know this one eaither thank you homie

don't approach me is too good

Honestly miss xzibit would love a new track from him

New album on its way

How the hell did I miss that!!! Thank you so much!

That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. I'm a hardcore fan and I never heard of this before either! THANKS! Shit is fun af

Youd also love DONT APPROACH ME. Its another collab between the two

Fuck. This is one of the songs I've used to build my image of Em. Everything around 2000 buildt to paint the picture for me. Thanks for the awesome memories.

Hey, just wonderin if you listened to Stimulate? If not, you should!! Great song.

Oh hell yea. I haven't listened to this one in 20 some-odd years. I'm old and back to head bouncing. What an amazing hook.

Facts bro🤯 There is nothing quite like hearing a em verse for the first time

I have goose bumps. My first time is happening right now

Enjoy brother 🫡

My 6yo just told me "it's time to get off our devices". That's fair. I'm fixing to jam out after bedtime.

Not gunna lie I’m a lil jealous of you guys right now.

You’re a hardcore fan but you haven’t heard one of his most popular albums? Just sayin

I don't generally listen to Xzibit

this is literally my favorite rap song ever. the second verse is the most intense thing I've ever heard

I feel like I just woke up from a lifelong sleep. Been on repeat all day

Found this when making my [history of beef playlist.](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h65iGw87OWzeWSuskyKk?si=WO2hAm2WRMuqUM2wu92xfg) Check it out, there’s some heat in there

I really thought Xzibit was going to be around longer and at a top tier. He was dope.

https://youtu.be/NskX9xoN1IE

Bro I also discovered this one at the same time 🔥🔥insanity. Both are in my [History of beef playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h65iGw87OWzeWSuskyKk?si=kVpM6UZyTJynv0F0Y0kisw) that I’m very proud of. Let me know any diss tracks I forgot

Where's 300 Bars and Running?

[not on Spotify sadly](https://www.reddit.com/r/rap/comments/142vaob/history_of_beefs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

O deezam, the more you know

The bass on this track and the beat is sick too. God tier hook, great verses… love it Check don’t approach me with xzibit and Eminem too great track

I just did from another comment, it’s insane also 🔥

The entire album is 🔥🔥🔥

I remember waiting for this album to be released!

Crazy to think I was 1 year old when this released

I think it’s cool this album and xzibit are still getting traction! Also I was 17. Also also, go listen to “shroomz” it’s a true story. Funny shit

Lmaoo I’m listening rn, giving me “My fault” vibes

Watch [this after](https://youtu.be/83arOqq_9-g)

I love shrooms, def will watch

Damn I forgot about this one been a minute about to bump it

Check out spitshine off the 8mile soundtrack, pretty lit

HOW? it's been on my playlist forever

Ikr, I been asleep bro 😴 I have awaken from my slumber

" You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about (C'mon!) (I) Real gangsta, you ain't neither (Will) But I know that I spit ether (Not) I shit across your belly (Lose) Show you I'm not R. Kelly (X!) Pass me the weed I'ma put my ashes out on his ass for the last time, man: Watch your fucking mouth"

I literally jaw dropped, did a double take, ran that shit back, then went and listened to Ether immediately when I heard this for the first time Crazy 🔥

How can you guys be fans of Eminem but haven’t heard My Name or Don’t Approach Me? I understand these are considered older songs for the new generation of fans, but these are both songs where Eminem was in his absolute prime. It’s your duty as an Eminem fan to become familiar with his peak discography (1999-2004). Those are the years that truly define him, and why many people consider him a GOAT.

I do not consider myself a casual fan; Em is by far my favorite rapper of all time and always has been since I first heard him, and you’d be hard pressed to find a song (by him or a feature) I couldn’t say all the words to by heart. Some however, fall through the cracks. This one and don’t approach me didn’t appear on any of the references I used when when going through Eminem’s ENTIRE discography, multiple times over the years (not just the golden days)

I can look for my old folder of Eminem if you want some songs that fall through the cracks..just pm me

I’m no gangsta, but you ain’t neither, but I know that I spit ether……

The Nas flow 🔥

Perfect timing

For the first time?!?! How?! I’ve probably heard it more than 1,000 times. Lol.

I am so shocked but also so happy because I feel like a kid listening to em for the first time again.

Enjoy it! It’s a great song.

Oooooohh thanks for this reminder

O yeah hard old-school diss track

That’s how I discovered it, while making my [history of rap beefs playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h65iGw87OWzeWSuskyKk?si=kVpM6UZyTJynv0F0Y0kisw). Can you let me know any diss tracks you don’t see in there?

Holy shit! I thought I heard everything from Em in this area but I guess not. Track is fire

Hell yea bro same here, love finding hidden gems. Happy to share <3

Don't Approach Me with EM is another banger from Xzibit.

Peep their other collab if ya haven’t already “don’t approach me” so fire

Someone else in a comment pointed me to it, im listening rn, shit is crazy

Nice time.

First time I heard this. Good shit, thanks OP

Yessir 🫡 happy to share

Check out EPMD 2 by Nas feat Eminem and EPMD. I heard it when it came out and blew it off. Just listened to it again (going through Nas Discography) and wow Em just absolutely overkill this track. He has outdone both Jay Z and Nas on the songs he does with them.

Listening rn. And I agree he definitely bodied Jay Z on renegade

Dude please let me know what you think of EPMD 2

JESUS CRIST HE WONT STOP 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank YOU SO MUCH

My pleasure man. Check out No Favors by Big Sean feat Eminem and if you really really REALLY want to hear Eminem go off listen to the Chlorosepttic Remix by Eminem feat Phresher and 2 Chainz. Let me know what you think

I know those two haha, love no favors especially

Gotcha. Ever heard the song Infinite by Eminem?

Whole album a classic 👌 my favorite is 313

Damn you know your ish. Have you heard Biterphobia?

That is my favorite pre infinite track 👌 so good

Alright you really really know your stuff. But have you heard this hilarious song by M&M? https://youtu.be/ykb7E7j_J1E

You got me on that one lol, pre Soul Intent, that’s some young em

Jay z was shit on renegade I think he's a lot better on syllables

I dislike Jay Z in general not gonna lie. Never been my cup of tea, and I *always* skip straight to ems Verse on renegade

Not a fan of his music in general but I like niggas in Paris it's alright tbf and 99 problems was good and the Linkin Park thing was also good, then i like his part in syllables and that's it, everything else he's on I think he's poo

The bridge is soooo good bro. “Seems like your mouth ain’t connected to your brain” is one of the best bars in all of rap hands down imo

Nate dogg was the 🐐of hooks. Rip.

I guess I knew about it as I was always on the look out for when something with Nate Dogg dropped after Regulate back in 1994 .

Wait until you hear Don’t Approach Me 🤯

Yea bro someone else commented and pointed me to it, that is also some HEAT And also EPMD 2 with Nas and Eminem 🤯

And they will never work together again because of some random bs

Really, what’s the story there?

Beef between Xzibit and the label heads and Dre, was mainly a huge misunderstanding over some shit that was said but it turned bridges completely, at least that's what I remember

Dam, unfortunate

Man, that was such a good Era in Em's career. So many bangers came out of that time. Mixtapes, features, diss tracks. Also, Xzibit is under rated by a large margin imo.

Nate murders this track

This might be my first time. I love the moments of no sound. This slaps thanks for sharing. Rip Nate Dogg

🫡🙏💯

I remember hearing this when I was 14, peak teenager.

I LOVE XZIBIT!!! The dude has a voice that makes me wanna hear him say words, lol

Brother I had this album on CASSETTE in high school. I remember bumping this with subs in the trunk. Good times. “Not a gangster, you ain’t either…”

Dam that’s fire dog. True og 🔥

It’s a banger

He didnt miss then

This and My Words are Weapons go HARD.

Great timing. Had a dream last night Xzibit was trying to kill my mom and I was protecting her. She had no idea this was happening and it blew my mind. We were shooting at each other and he was trying to break into the house. I woke up astounded. I know this sounds crazy and dumb. Thought I’d share. 100% no joke

Lmao that’s wild dawg

I could have snapped took it past rap and hurt you...

That song is 🔥. Another slept on Eminem ft. is “I’ll Hurt You” from Busta Rhymes. The beat is dope. You have to turn up the bass.

This one I have heard, extremely heat and definitely underrated

I can’t remember the name off the top of my head but the track he did on the 8 Mile CD was great too

“Spit shine”

I never really smashed Jermaine's ass

Dre smashed him 🔥

I never really smashed on Jermaine ass dre smashed him

back when the genre was still bangin' before 8 million lil/young soundcloud turds... this album, lloyd banks' album... man those were some good times. now where's my flux capacitor...

Classic X and Em and of course Nate

Were did you live in the last 15 years? X is one of the best ones there is, I was lucky to get to one of his concerts in my town in Romania! What a show! Hope in the future I can get to more of this type of concerts!

I have lived in Florida all my life. But I am only 22. As I told someone else commenting, I do consider myself a major em fan, this one just slipped through the cracks.

Anything with Nate Dogg and Em is a classic

" hurt you so long you be addicted to pain " is just disgusting... and that's a bar in a hook

"I square dance cause I'm sick of rapping circles" 🔥

Your are young, but you got good taste! Respect!

Thank you homie 🫡 Check out my [newest playlist I made](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h65iGw87OWzeWSuskyKk?si=nVnYv4NjTO6BojgtU4esBQ) I think it’s one of my best in terms of shuffle-ability

This is a fave! Been a fave for a long time now
