This is also the song that introduced the world to the legendary producer Cardo, who then went on to be a frequent collaborator with Wiz and produced even more of his classic tunes. The way he glides over the beat letting off some fly bars about just being true to himself and living his best life. Starting with a project off with a song of this magnitude is crazy in hind sight, seeing as many fans (and the Lyrical Lemonade Staff) will agree that this is his best song he has ever released. It is the very first thing people hear upon pressing play. How you start your project says a lot about your artistry. Blending ever so perfectly, this leads into the next track “Mezmorized”. Always motivated by the means of starting his day with a smoke session, the start of this album begins with “Waken Baken”, a 1:30 intro of smooth instrumentation of what Wiz would imagine his days would start like as he prepares his smoke. If you haven’t noticed by now, Wiz Khalifa was and still is a huge weed smoker. As difficult as it is to do, Wiz Khalifa did it effortlessly and has delivered one of the best mixtapes of all time. That can take you back to a certain place and time. That can still revive that feeling that was felt when it was first released. It can be difficult to deliver a project that can stand the tests of time. The same way the DOGs look up to Biggie and Tupac, early 90s babies look up to these rappers, as they released the music of the building ages of our lives.

Big Sean, Curren$y, Mac Miller (god rest his soul), and Wiz Khalifa of course. With 2010 being the beginning of not only a new decade, but a new era of music, it had birthed the beginning of many artists careers that we all still love and enjoy today. From top to bottom, all 20 songs were on repeat for many, many months to follow. Every lunch table had their iPods out listening to it and reciting lyrics. Once Kush & OJ dropped, the very next day each and every hallway was filled with people talking about it. However, I was not expected to be witnessing such an amazing project. Having already been a fan of Wiz Khalifa for about a year at this point, I had already knew at what capacity he would be able to deliver in. The year is 2010, and I am nearing the end of my Junior year in high school. For Wiz Khalifa, it goes without saying that many fans of his can all come to a natural agreement that his best body of work was his mixtape, Kush & OJ. The ability to have the freedom of releasing whatever art you want, whenever you want is one of the purest joys that an artist can have. No pressures from the label, no pressure from fans, no pressure from first-week-sales projections, just pure artistry at it’s finest. This is said to be true because the art comes from one place and one place only from within. Timeless (adj.) “Not affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion”.Ĭlassic (adj.) “Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind”.Īs many people will say, it is believed that many artists put out their best bodies of work before they are thrusted into the major spotlight.
