Background

In an interview with N.O.R.E. on his podcast, Drink Champs, Xzibit told a story of how Dr. Dre became involved with the project as an executive producer and Loud exec Steve Rifkind's lack of involvement. He discussed the conversation between Dre and Rifkind: "So I was at odds with the label...and so then when we finished the tour, he was like 'Let's go do a record.' I was like, 'I'm only gonna do it if you take care of Dr. Dre.' And Dr. Dre was like, 'You gonna pay me this, and we're gonna fuckin' do this. And then we gon' get it done. But I don't want this money to come from Xzibit, I want it to come from you. And that's why the record is out.'"[4] Xzibit credits this conversation as one that gave his project the green light.
