They are best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative .... Only Everlast and Mobb Deep's 'Shook Ones'...shows anything like the same ambition here." Track listing Charts References Rap rock compilation albums 2000 compilation albums

What U See Is What U Get
"What U See Is What U Get" is the first single from Xzibit's second album, '' 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz''. In its first week the song peaked at #50 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, being Xzibit's highest charting single. It peaked at #3 on Hot Rap Singles, his highest on that chart. Music video A music video directed by Gregory Dark was filmed in Los Angeles. The deceptively simplistic premise of the video is Xzibit's trek to a nearby shop after being asked to pick up some milk. On his way, Xzibit greets several friends, briefly performs in a local concert and even finds a dropped one hundred-dollar bill. However, he also crosses paths with various chaotic incidents including a carjacking, bombing, shooting, and store looting; all of which he walks past unshaken. In the end, Xzibit is able to pick up the milk and make his way home, only to be told that they also needed hot sauce and asked to go back out again. The video closes with a dedication to then-recently-deceased music video direc ...
