Xzibit, Madden NFL 2001 and NFL Street Vol. 2
Before he was pimping rides, X to the Z was juking linebackers in two of EA’s football franchises. Our contest cover boy contributed the first ever original song by a rapper to appear in a Madden soundtrack with his track “The Mad in Game.” In turn, he was featured as the starting tight end for the Ecko Team.
Xzibit returned to gridiron gaming in 2004 when he arbitrarily appeared on the cover of NFL Street 2 with Jeremy Shockey. Not only was Xzibit a playable character in the game, but he headed up his own Team Xzibit.
