’10 Mixtapes: #1 Wiz Khalifa Kush & Orange Juice

Wednesday, January 05 2011 7:07 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Album Reviews, Blog

A little before noon Eastern Standard time on April 11, 2010, Wiz Khalifa turned it up a notch. After dropping seven mixtapes and two albums, he finally made a real splash with Kush & Orange Juice. Backed by whimsical production, Kush & Orange showcases Wiz’s growth as an artist and songwriter. He brings listeners into his hazy world with cuts like, “Mesmorized”, “In The Cut” and “Up”.  Meanwhile, his papers burn bright on joints like “The Statement” and “Never Been”. In fact, Kush & OJ came so freshly squeezed that even Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times took notice. If you haven’t, it’s never too late. Disagree with this list or join the Taylor Gang. Ha!

  12. 1of1 says:

    Kush & OJ-Top 7 Good at best
    More About Nothing, Friday Night Lights, K.R.I.T. Was Here-better
    Trunk Music-I ain’t heard too much of Yelawolf but I keep hearin’ niggas give him universal acclaim

    & where’s Finally Famous 3?

    I think you makin’ these lists in this way to make convos
    Can’t knock your hustle

  13. Connor says:

    #1 & #3 are my only agreed positions.
    wiz deserved this, really was a push for him. he’s not the best lyrically, no. But damn his flow is uncomparable.

  14. King Jugganott says:

    Fuck a Mixtape didn’t make the list? Damn…that’s some shit right there. I am good with Wiz shit being number one though.

  15. BigAnt ! says:

    This does deserve to be #1….BUT I DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE !
    TAYLOR GANG OR AGREE WITH THIS LIST !

  16. RRabitch says:

    Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit. mm4s not up on this list, and k&oj gets top spot? done with RR.

  17. Lorin says:

    I don’t understand the “hype” Wiz gets. “Black & Yellow” is catchy and all but I’m not a Steelers fan nor am I an Alpha. I don’t smoke weed and I don’t rock Taylors. I must not be the target audience. The fact that No Genre isn’t on the list is a little perplexing, and FNL should have been in the top 5 easily. What happened to Kendrick Lamar?

  18. BigAnt ! says:

    Wow B.Dot you makin me look me stupid now dawg

  19. Big Meats says:

    how yall leave mood muzik off the list? smh

  20. ThisListSucks says:

    Cool mixtape, definitely deserves to be on the list.. But this entire shit is out of order ! No Jeezy ? No Spitta ? No Vado ? No Nipsey ? Cyhi top ten ????

    This shit must be political

  21. Belize says:

    Definitely good, but RR goin all the Source on us!!! J.Cole’s was hell of a lot doper!!

  22. Mr Xclusive says:

    Chris browns mixtapes are better than this, Fan Of A Fan is better than this, Well Done is better than this …this mixtape is for fucking potheads …normal people know this music sucks, stupid smokers

  23. Mr Xclusive says:

    fuck Jiz Khalifa ….and fuck you potheads that support him. your opinion doesnt mean anything cuz your high dumbass!

  24. Lorin says:

    @BigAnt !

    You disagree with the whole list EXCEPT the #1 spot? Really?!?!?!?! *in Seth Meyers voice”

  25. BBoggz says:

    Fuck a Mixtape hands down the best of 2010.

  26. Jacob says:

    Friday night lights was way better, all wiz talks about is weed and its boring as shit say something new j cole actually has meaning to his lyrics its fucking bullshit

  27. original will says:

    finally famous 3 is missing really too fake;final hour;High Rise;Made it;Crazy;5 buccs;fat raps

    really finally famous 3 didnt make the list sean should make something on one of these top 10s list

  28. Rodney Rodz says:

    How is Joe Budden’s Mood Muzik 4 not on here?

  29. Jzik says:

    this list needed big sean finally famous vol.3, b.o.b may 25th, curren$y smokee robinson, jeezy trap or die 2 and cam and vado boss of all bosses 2. i really dont know how these were left off…

  30. Brahsef says:

    Man, all you posters care way too much bout lists. It’s RRs lists, if you don’t agree, then move the fuck on. Personally, I feel FNL was the best mixtape of the year, but I could see Kush & OJ takin the top spot. That shit blew the fuck up. I know bitches who be fuckin with Kush & OJ.

    Ya’ll gotta take your periods and move on.

  31. Money Mitch says:

    Mm4 was better than this whole list and 90% of
    The albums that were put out rapradar has become like the ybf or missinfo just a rap gossip blog, zero rap credibility anymore. Yn praises these pop acts so high and shits on real hip hop. I’m gonna find a new site this yr wrap up killed it for me.

  32. Catcher freeman says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MM4 on the list wtf is wrong wit u YN. nigga did u forget joe budden. wiz is cool and all. i dont listen to him much. he cant rap, he has a cool personality. THIS TAPE IS SO FUKIN OVERRATED. i bet u tomorrow u make a top 10 rap albums list, and put drake and em on top of kanye. if u do, u are wat u look like…. ON FUKIN CRACK.

  33. redrobin says:

    MM4 NEEDS TO BE ON THE LIST INSTEAD OF YELAWOLF. KUSH X OJ DESERVES #1

  34. swins89 says:

    i say he re releases it as an EP like drake did and put…..THAT GOOD on it

  35. redrobin says:

    AND WALE NEEDS TO BE LOWER ON THE LIST

  36. Zach Hughes says:

    Speaking of Kush & OJ. If you have time please read my blog http://whenidiefuckitiwannagotohell.biz/wordpress/ and comment if you like

  37. Word says:

    @Brahsef

    I feel like list are made to be debated. From I can see the commenters just debating and stating they opinions ain’t nuffin wrong here

    That being said I feel like mxtape of the year is something all hip hop heads can somewhat relate to right? This shit right here…I don’t smoke, how can I enjoy the tape? its just weed talk!

  38. NYC says:

    Wiz sux . He’s a lil better than Flocka

  39. Zach Hughes says:

    @word “I feel like list are made to be debated. From I can see the commenters just debating and stating they opinions ain’t nuffin wrong here”
    REAL TALK

  40. I agree with you @illie and Fuck A Mixtape, ,MM4 mixtape, Boss Of All Bossed 2 & 2.5, and May 25th shoudnt been threre. Also Kush & Oragnge Juice is the best mixtape ever.

  41. King Jugganott says:

    It’s just bad because some of those mixtapes have like ONE or TWO solid tracks on ‘em.

  42. ODM3TheTruth says:

    No Genre was too legit not to be on the list.

  43. Benja says:

  45. get it right says:

    @ODM3TheTruth

    Completely agreed. This a foul list right here that’s what it is.

  46. COACH says:

    FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS #1 COLE IS A BEAST

  47. suppppppppp says:

    YN is the type of nigga that he won’t acknowledge Joe Budden… But when Joe Budden signs to Shady, will then kiss his ass. Welcome to the Industry folks.
