Weapons of Mass Destruction (Xzibit)

Xzibit's 2004 rap album Weapons of Mass Destruction contains the awesome lead single "Hey Now (Mean Muggin)," which features Keri Hilson. It was for this song I was willing to lay down the $1 on the album. Overall, it's a mixed bag. Some of the tracks are quite good, some are rather generic, and one or two (ahem... "Klack") are pretty bad. It's not a consistent album, but I do give Xzibit credit for keeping it fairly coherent, with transitions from one song to the next and consistent themes. Also, his commentary is real, so for those of us who enjoy that, that's a perk. The highlights are "Hey Now," "Saturday Night Live," and "Muthafucka."
