"Get Your Walk On" was the third and final single by American rapper Xzibit, from his 2000 album, "Restless".The song is produced by Mel-Man and Battlecat.

It is usually considered as one of Xzibit's greatest and memorable songs by fans and hip-hop enthusiasts due to its catchy beat and rhythm. The song caught on well since Xzibit's previous song "X" also had the same "catchy tune" principle.

Because of his song, Xzibit is sometimes credited for popularizing the phrase, although the phrase itself has been around for years. The term "Get your walk on" refers to the C Walk of the Crips, whom Xzibit has affiliations with.

The music video features various footage of Xzibit (both on stage and backstage) during live concerts and while he's with his friends and fans. Staying true with the name of the song, it also features various kids performing the C-Walk (as well as Xzibit himself). Interestingly, there is a scene where two sets of kids are standing alongside two sides of a pyramid with one side red and the other side blue- referring to the intense rivalry between the Bloods and the Crips. However this could also symbolize the peace treaty between the two conflicting gangs as well. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cCz4q0n9Mk YouTube - Xzibit - Get Your Walk On ] ]
