Back in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Wiz gives a breakdown of his latest mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice to MTV. Smoke one wit’ cha dawg.
“Mesmerized”: “My man Carlo did that beat. Taylor Gang or die. You know what it is,” he said. “That song is about keeping it G, in a nutshell. Can’t really say too much about it. When they see it, they recognize and they’re mesmerized.”
“Never Been”: “My man Sledgerin did that beat,” Wiz said. “The beat comes on crazy with that. It’s a totally different vibe. So lyrically, I had to step it up on my end and take it on some Taylor Gang, Khalifa business. That’s what I did. Once again, heavily, herbily inspired. That’s a wake-and-bake classic. Bow!”
“The Kid Frankie”: “I rapped over this Loose Ends beat. It’s a track from the ’80s, ‘Hanging on a String.’ ‘The Kid Frankie’ was inspired by a movie that me and my man Spitta be watchin’. Shout-out to Spitta. Jets/ Taylor Gang. But the movie ‘The Business,’ there was this guy named Frankie, and his old head homie called him ‘The Kid Frankie.’ They was riding around Spain listening to Loose Ends. Frankie said, ‘It’s better to be somebody for one day than to be a nobody for your whole life.’ “
this mixtape is definitely the truth… i listened to this about 20 times straight through without skipping a single track….
not to dick ride my own shit but Spotlight was definitely worth mentioning… but onto the next one…. G,G…
Wiz goes hard (pause). This kid has a bright future in the music game. Kush & Orange Juice is my shit. I love this mixtape.
HE’S THE NEW DJ QUIK! LMAO!!
Word @ Ac@pella…..that mixtape goes hard as fuck. I don’t usually these young niggas (Currency, Pac Div) but this nigga make my kinda music bruh….Spotlight is that crack….
he’s alright, but there really is no differentiating quality in any of his tracks. it’s all the same subject matter. there’s nothing to “break down”
That’s a good point Cory…..that’s when you have to wait for the progression of artists ala Snoop, Jay….damn near all emcees were narrow minded to start. For a mixtape though…It thought it was nice because he had a great deal of tracks that were NOT on albums. It was put together nice good mixture of tracks. But like you said….it’s all about one thing….but what else would you expect from a Mixtape named “Kush and Orange Juice”?
taylor gang or get hip hop reviews from cory.
LOL@ Drew….
I’m just saying…I would have found it odd if I picked up a Mixtape titled “Kush and Orange Juice” and a niggas was talking about the War in Iraq, or some uplifting Talib-like shit. Props for keeping the shit on topic Wiz!
best mixtape of 2010! love does malcom X glasses
Ha…shout out to b.dot and YN for bein some clever niggas. Y’all always sneak in these lil hip hop quotes that prolly go over peoples heads. “smoke one wit ya dawg”…Memph bleeks “I gets high” is prolly one of his best tracks to date…
