‘Is Peter Gabriel in my vocal range? I don't care. I'm singing it at karaoke': Xzibit's honest playlist
The song I do at karaokeIn Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. Is it in my vocal range? I don't give care if I'm singing it right. I'll do my best.
The best song to play at a party
It depends on what they're serving. If it's a wild party and there's a whole bunch of drugs involved, it's gotta be uptempo. If it's kick back with some weed, then some 90s or 00s gangsta rap like Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang by Dr Dre featuring Snoop Dogg.
The song I secretly likeI love Everything by Mary J Blige from her Share My World album, which samples You Are Everything by the Stylistics and The Payback by James Brown. I've been a fan of hers ever since she came out. She's one of my favourite artists who integrates hip-hop and R&B.
The best song to have sex toIt's not about the music. Sometimes it's just about being into your partner: that's the music right there. Would I have sex to my own records? Hell no. Have you heard my shit, like Choke Me, Spank Me (Pull My Hair)? You can't have sex to those records.
The song that changed my lifeBitch Please by Snoop Dogg featuring Nate Dogg and Xzibit was the beginning of an era. It launched us into the stratosphere, turned the page, and kicked everything up in my career.
The song that makes me cryYou just reminded me I haven't cried in a minute. I gotta go look for that.

Unreleased Beyoncé music stolen from car in Atlanta
Unreleased music by US singer Beyoncé, along with footage, show plans and concert set lists have been stolen from a car in Atlanta. Police in Georgia are searching for a suspect after the back window of a rental car being used by her choreographer was smashed, and items, including pen drives and two Apple MacBooks, were stolen. Christopher Grant, the singer's choreographer, and Diandre Blue, a dancer, told police they parked their rental car, a 2024 Jeep Wagoneer, at a food hall in the city at about 8.09pm on July 8. The pair returned to the car just after 9pm to discover the boot's window had been damaged and two suitcases had been taken. Mr Grant told officers that 'he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé', the police incident report stated. Two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, as well as luxury clothing and accessories were reported stolen, according to the incident report. Officers searched an area where the stolen laptop and headphones were tracked by using the devices' location services, but it is not known if they were recovered. The report identifies a possible suspect vehicle as a 2025 red Hyundai Elantra. Responding officers were able to identify 'light prints' at the scene, and security cameras in the car park captured the incident. The Atlanta Police Department said it had secured an arrest warrant for a suspect, whose identity was withheld. Beyoncé kicked off her highly anticipated tour in late April, taking her Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter to stadiums in the US and Europe. The Telegraph gave her Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opening night a five-star review, with chief music critic Neil McCormick saying: 'It was a show of spectacle and seduction, of bone-rattling volume and heart-beating musicality, of surprisingly hard-hitting politics and uplifting emotion. With 32 Grammy wins and 99 nominations, the 43-year-old mother of three is the most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history. The singer will end her tour with two Las Vegas nights in late July.
