8. Xzibit
Which Alvin came first, the chipmunk or West Coast rapper Xzibit? Coming in at number 8 is Mr. ‘yo, dawg’ meme-sensation himself, Alvin Nathaniel Joiner. Jonier was born in Detroit but relocated to California when he was a teenager. He signed under Loud Records and released his first album, At the Speed of Life. His music got around the West Coast and soon gained the attention of Dr. Dre. He began collaborating with artists such as Snoop Dogg and Eminem. While his music was taking its stride, he gained even more publicity by hosting MTV’s hit show Pimp My Ride. Now, Xzibit has let the cornrows go and taken a musical hiatus. However, he is still working on cars and selling taffy edibles.
