Xzibit Claims DMX's 'Party Up' Was A Diss Track
Xzibit has claimed that DMX penned his mega hit “Party Up” as a diss track aimed at Tha Dogg Pound‘s Kurupt.
Speaking to Effective Immediately, the West Coast legend said that X used to the track to respond to Kurupt’s jabs on “Callin Out Names”.
He explained: “I think what was crazy was when I found out that ‘Party Up’ was the answer to ‘Callin Out Names’. ‘Party Up’ was his response to Kurupt. ‘Your girl’s a hoe /You’re broke, the kid ain’t yours, and e’rybody know.’”
The former Pimp My Ride host claimed that issues between the two rap titans rose up over Foxy Brown: “They were fighting over Foxy Brown […] we need to do a ‘Hip Hop 101’ like ‘did y’all remember this?’”

On “Callin Out Names”, Kurupt took specific aim at DMX, rapping: “Mothafuck D / Mothafuck M / Only X I know is Xzibit or RBX / Extraordinary, trynna snatch my bitch / You can have the bitch, two bitches gettin’ rich / Just to come to the West Coast and get stripped down / Beat to death and stripped, all over a bitch.”

Kurupt later spoke to HipHopDX about his motivation for the infamous diss record.
He said: “My thing was personal. I was engaged to Foxy Brown. DMX and Foxy did their little thing, and I got offended.”
Kurupt later said to Bootleg Kev after X had passed: “I was in my feelings, and I was really upset at the whole experience with this young lady. Just upset period at the way I was treated. I just let off some steam.
“People will pump you up if you allow them to. I could say a lot of people told me things I took to heart — this person said this, this person said that. DMX was just the straw that broke the camel’s back, to where my anger was. I just let it all go.”
Tha Dogg Pound legend later confirmed that he and DMX managed to squash their beef: “It’s all learning experiences. Like right now, me and Earl and very good, cool friends. I seen him in the airport, and we squashed our differences. I found out he’s a good person. He’s a good n-gga. That n-gga is a good n-gga.
“We had a good talk, had a couple shots. It was real cool. I was like, “Wow, I met [Ruff Ryders co-founders] Dee and Waah. These are some good niggas.” We all just tried to get this money, feed our families and make some good music.”
