Ua lanakila ʻo Alvin Nathaniel Joyner, ka mea nāna i hoʻohana i ka pseudonym hana Xzibit, ma nā wahi he nui.
Ua kani nā mele a ka mea pena ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ʻo nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni āna i hoʻokani ai ma ke ʻano he mea hana keaka i lilo i mau hits ma ka pahu pahu. ʻO ka hōʻike TV kaulana ʻo "Pimp My Wheelbarrow" ʻaʻole i nalowale i ke aloha o ka poʻe, ʻaʻole e poina koke ʻia e nā mea pā o ke kahawai MTV.
ʻO nā makahiki mua o Alvin Nathaniel Joyner
Ua hānau ʻia ka mea pena kiʻi multi-stop e hiki mai ana ma hope koke o ka Kalikimaka ma 1974 ma Detroit, Michigan. Ua lilo kēia kūlanakauhale i wahi āna i hoʻohana ai i ka hapa nui o ka wā kamaliʻi o ka mea pena e hiki mai ana. I ka 9 o kona mau makahiki, ua make kona makuahine.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua hālāwai ka makuakāne o Alvin me kahi wahine a male iā ia. Ua hoʻoholo ka ʻohana hou e hoʻāʻo i kā lākou laki ma kahi hou - ʻo ka ʻāina hānau o ka wahine, ma New Mexico.
He paʻakikī loa ka pilina ma waena o ke kanaka ʻōpio a me kona makuahine hānai. Ke manaʻo nei ʻo ia i ka makemake ʻole i kāna keiki hānai, ua hoʻokau mau ʻo ia iā ia i ka hana a me nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa.
E like me ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana o Xzibit ma hope o kahi ninaninau, ʻaʻole wikiwiki ka makuakāne e hoʻomaopopo i ke kūlana a pale i ka ʻōpio. Ua lawe pinepine ʻo ia i ka ʻaoʻao o ka makuahine hānai. No laila, ua hoʻomaka mālie ka pilina ma waena o ka makua kāne a me ke keiki. ʻAʻole hiki iā Xzibit ke hoʻomanawanui i ke kūlana paʻakikī ma ka home, haʻalele ʻo Xzibit i ka hale a ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole wikiwiki kona ʻohana e ʻimi iā ia.
No laila, ma mua koke o kona hiki ʻana i ka makahiki, aia ka mea hoʻokani pila-platinum e hiki mai ana ma ke alanui. Noho mau i loko o kahi ʻano crimogenic a kamaʻilio nui me nā poʻe pōā, ua pilikia ʻo ia me nā mākaʻi.
I ka 17 o kona mau makahiki, ua hopu ʻia ʻo ia no ka loaʻa ʻole ʻana o kahi pū. ʻO ka noho ʻana i kahi hale paʻahao ʻōpio ua hoʻopuʻihaʻi ʻo Alvin. Ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia iā ia iho ʻaʻole e noho hou ma kahi e like me kēia. ʻOiai ʻo ia e lawelawe ana i kāna kau, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia i kāna mea e hana ai me ke kūʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka hana mua āna i makemake ai e hana ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ka kolone, ʻo ia ka neʻe ʻana i ka lā Kaleponi me nā hoaaloha kahiko. Hoʻokani ʻo ia i kekahi manawa a kākau pū me lākou i nā mele.
ʻO nā lanakila mua o Xzibit
I kona hōʻea ʻana i Los Angeles, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ʻo ia e nā hoaaloha kahiko. Pīhoihoi ʻo ia i ka ʻike ʻana i ka manawa a lāua i ʻike ʻole ai kekahi i kekahi, ua lanakila ka hui ma ke kahua mele. ʻAʻole pono lākou e komo i ka ʻoihana kānalua i mea e loaʻa ai kahi ola.
Mai ia manawa mai, hoʻomaka ʻo Xzibit e hana iā ia iho a hana maʻalahi i kona ala i ka ʻoihana mele. ʻO Tha Alkoholiks ka hui o nā hoaaloha. He ʻāpana ʻo ia o ka hui nui o nā mea rappers, nā mea hana a me nā poʻe ʻōpio hana i kapa ʻia ʻo Likwit Crew.
Ma hope o ke komo ʻana i ka hui, ua hōʻoia koke ka mea pena iā ia iho a hoʻomaka e kōkua iā Tha Alkoholiks i ke kākau ʻana i nā mele, loaʻa ka ʻike waiwai.
Akā ʻo kahi kanaka me ia ʻano charisma a me kahi ʻano hana kūʻokoʻa i paʻa i loko o ka hui. A hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana i kahi album solo. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna album mua ʻo At the Speed of Life i 1996.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia i lilo i hōkū honua. Eia naʻe, ua hōʻike ke kūʻai aku o ka album i kahi hopena kūpono loa no kahi mea hoʻokani mele kūʻokoʻa. Ua mahalo nui ʻia kāna mele e nā mea hoʻokani mele, a ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi pōʻai liʻiliʻi akā kūpaʻa o nā mea pā a puni ka mea pena.
ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o ka hana a Xzibit
ʻO kekahi o ka poʻe i lohe i ka moʻolelo mua loa o ka mea hoʻokani pila, ʻo ia ka mea hana hip-hop a me ka mea hoʻokani Dr. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dre. Ua hauʻoli loa ʻo ia i kāna mea i lohe ai a loaʻa iā ia kahi mea hoʻokani pila a hāʻawi iā ia i ʻaelike e hoʻopaʻa i kahi album.
Ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hana hoʻokō o ka album ʻelua 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz. ʻO ka mea mua loa mai ka album hou ʻo What U See Is What U Get. Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i ka papa inoa o nā mele rap maikaʻi loa, i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia e The Source, XXL a me The Complex.
ʻO ka lua o ka album solo i hoʻolilo i ka mea pena i mea kaulana aupuni. ʻO nā poʻe aloha i nā mele hip-hop, mahalo nui ʻia ʻo ia. Ma hope o ka holomua, ua hoʻonui ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana o ka album mua a ka mea pena. Ma hope mai, ua hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ka mea pena kiʻi i ʻelima mau album hou. Ua hōʻike lākou a pau i nā hopena kūʻai maikaʻi loa, a ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia lākou e ka poʻe hoʻolohe a me ka poʻe hoʻohewa.
I ka makahiki 1999, ua loaʻa iā Xzibit kahi hāʻawi e hoʻokani i kekahi o nā hana ma ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻo The White Crow. Ma hope o ka loa'a'ana o nā mana'o maika'i mai ka po'e ki'i'oni'oni a me nā mea nānā i kāna hana, ua ho'oholo ka mea pena e ho'omau i kāna'oihana ma ke ki'i'oni'oni.
ʻAʻole hiki ke hōʻole ʻia kāna talena hana. ʻO nā hāʻawi mai nā hui kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā alakaʻi e pāʻani i kā lākou mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni hou i hoʻomaka e hōʻea mau. ʻO nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana loa i pāʻani ai ʻo Xzibit: "8 Mile", "The X-Files: I Want to Believe", "The Price of Treason" a me "Second Chance".
Ua hiki iā ia ke hana pū me nā mea keaka kaulana e like me David Duchovny, Clive Owen a me Dwayne Johnson. I kēia lā, ua hana ʻo Xzibit ma ke ʻano he mea keaka ma mua o 20 mau kiʻiʻoniʻoni. I kēia manawa, ʻo ia ka hana hana nui a ka mea pena.
"Wheelbarrow for pumping"
ʻAʻole liʻiliʻi, a ʻoi aku paha ma mua o kahi ʻoihana kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me ka hana mele, ua kaulana ka mea pena e ka hōʻike TV "Pimp My Car" (ma ke kahawai MTV). Ua mālama ʻo Xzibit i ka hōʻike no ʻekolu makahiki.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka papahana i kekahi mau makahiki hou aʻe ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka mea hoʻokani pila i ke kūlana o ka mea hōʻike. ʻO kēia mau makahiki ʻekolu i manaʻo ʻia he "gula" i ka moʻolelo o ka papahana. ʻO ke komo ʻana i ka papahana "Pimp My Car" ua ʻae ʻo Xzibit e lilo i mea hoʻokipa o nā ʻahaʻaina nui a me nā hanana makana like ʻole, e like me MTV EMA, etc.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Xzibit
Hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ke ola pilikino o Xzibit no ke ʻano o nā moʻolelo. ʻO lākou a pau he mau kaikamāhine maikaʻi, hana nui i ka ʻoihana hoʻohālike.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo ia i ʻelua mau mea hoʻohālike iā Aishia Brightwell lāua ʻo Karin Stephans. He keiki kāne kā ka mea hoʻokani pila, ʻo Tremaine. Ua ʻike ʻia hoʻi ua make ke keiki kāne ʻelua a ka mea pena i ka wā hānau.
