This dreamy, spaced out and contact high-inducing song is one of the most entertaining and easy to vibe with tracks. Ultimately, in the face of compromise we decided to honor-mention the two previous, and use the stand out track Khalifa "Lit" as a representative of Wiz's best marijuana-motivated pieces of music. It's a lot harder of a choice than one would think because we have the ultimate toss up between classic weed anthems like Kush & OJ's "Still Blazing" or the modern contemporary smokers club joints like the Rae Sremmurd-assisted "Burn Slow." However, the key is picking which weed songs of the bunch make the cut. First you get the power and then the money, in most cases, but for Wiz, it was first you get the tattoos and then start rolling in the power and money.īeing that Wiz Khalifa is the Cannabis connoisseur that he is, it goes without saying (but we're saying it), that this list will have more than one weed song on it. More importantly, this record is noteworthy stop in the timeline of Wiz Khalifa's come up. Thus, we received one of the most celebrated tracks from Wiz Khalifa "Ink My Whole Body." We can't tell you how many times we heard his infectious hook "Ink my whole body I don't give a motherfuck," uttered between the years of 20. One of the main differences between Wiz and Wayne though is how taxing and laborious Wiz was in conveying the ink as a lifestyle rather that just an aesthetic choice. In 2009, just before the Burn After Rolling mixtape and just after Starpower, Wiz was making a name for himself as being one of the most tatted rappers since the likes of Lil Wayne. Wiz Khalifa is many things, but if there is one thing that he is known for, apart from smoking weed, it's having a body decked out in tattoos. Let's see where the rest of 2017, and 2018, takes Wiz's sound and career. The new vernacular, the impeccable earworm production of Sledgren and the musical prowess of Wiz Khalifa makes this record one his recent essential anthems. "Doubt Fire" is the representation of this burgeoning journey Wiz is taking us on. It is especially noteworthy to mention his recent onslaught of remixes of popular records dubbed "Weedmixes" like SahBabi "Pull Up With A Stick (Zip)" or Childish Gambino's "Redbone (Stay Stoned)" because they've become expected by his fanbase, despite his status and transformations in the game, he hasn't left his early-rapper mentality, of hopping on popular instrumentals, behind.Īs well, with his slew of short EPs including the Kush & OJ 7 Year Anniversary, Pre-Rolleds and Bong Rips, Wiz has captured the essence of his entire discography and coupled those sounds and producers with new cadences and new messages. closed, another between Wiz and the world at large was beginning, thanks to the releases that soon followed, namely, Kush & OJ, which itself would lead to his next major label home: Atlantic Records, where he's remained to this day.Īs we await the highly anticipated Rolling Papers 2 album from Wiz Khalifa, we are caught inside a vortex of transformation as we begin to see Wiz reinvent himself yet again. by the time he was ready to release his second album, and although the single did an exceptional job on the charts and earned a young Wiz Khalifa his first RIAA plaque it is not necessarily the sound we've come to expect from Khalifa - it hit as more of a trendy, cross-over record - it did sample a Eurodance deejay after all.Įven as the chapter between Wiz and Warner Bros. Things would sour between Wizzleman and Warner Bros. Warner Bros released his first official single "Say Yeah" in January 2008. in 2007, following the hype of his 2006 album Show And Prove. One of the most notable moments of that journey is, of course, when Wiz signed a deal with the major label Warner Bros. At 16-years-old, Wiz Khalifa signed with Rostrum and embarked on a seven year artist development journey. Benjy Grinberg, President of Rostrum Records, first heard Wiz Khalifa from his contribution to a mixtape featuring various Pittsburgh artists back in 2004 and he immediately knew then what we all know now, which is that Wiz Khalifa is a star.
