While it may seem pointless and somewhat droll, this was an brilliant move from a branding standpoint the 'Kid Frankie' video is one of the first blueprints of stoner style, helping to publicize the Wiz Khalifa image and the tapes' predominantly Marijuana minded subject matter. In the video, Wiz personifies the prose as he hops out of his yellow Dodge Challenger, grabs a Louis Vuitton carry-on holding his bongand a bottle of Bombay Gin, walks into the studio to blaze bowl after bowl with his homies. Nigga that's fly shit, tryna peek game lil homie, just watch this.

Roll some bomb-ass weed, get high, cruise out at jet speedĭo it like I do it for TV, $675, Damier LV's, 7-somethin' with taxĪnd when I'm on the plane got the carry-on to match One of the most memorable passages of 'Kid Frankie' sums up why teenagers and adults alike found some common ground in getting high as shit to this tape:Īin't nothin' to a G, let your hair blow in the breeze The best way to describe Khalifa's effortless style is through the images conveyed in the neo-classical, Day Today-esque videos for standout tracks like 'Kid Frankie' and 'Mezmorized.' Piggy backing off that, while the music is the main reason Kush & OJ is so legendary, another factor imperative to the success of the project is the presentation. The level of tastemaking and veteran composition standards in these songs speaks volumes to the golden talent of a young and green-thumbed Wiz Khalifa. Even more so, the intro and outro tracks 'Waken Baken' and 'Outro' respectively are perfect examples of Wiz's diligent, detailed and creative approach to controlling the wild sonic array. He doesn't falter in his attempts to bridge the gap between genres, as evidenced by songs like 'We're Done' with that infamous Demi Lovato sample. The fusion of different genres, sounds and styles that Wiz stirred and mixed together on this release is astounding.

The first and most apparent and or key factor to the success of this tape is the music encompassed within the project. 'Bout That' is hype as almost anything hype he has done before, featureing some of Wiz's best punchlines including, 'Take a look at me and you can tell I'm paid/Making all these faces, no Stevie J.' Plus, the Keith Sweat sample on 'Deep Sleep' is so fire it would be a crying shame not to mention it. There are only three tracks on this project that Wiz tackles alone, and each one proves that Wiz produces his best work while flying solo. However, West Coast infused tracks like 'Bout Me' 'STU' and '100 Bottles' really help give this tape the hyphy feel it needs. Though he dabbled in that West Coast G-Funk sound with the single 'On My Level' off Rolling Papers, it's definitely a style with which Wiz was unfamiliar. This project finds Wiz once again stepping out of his comfort zone and experimenting with new sounds and styles. Though there are only three tracks that Wiz appears solo on, he bears much of the weight on his back, vocally harmonizing with himself and employing that ultra simplistic songwriting format we have seen from him in recent years. Now they say I'm on yeah they say I'm that dude,' Wiz raps and reminisces on 'Fucc Shit' a highlight of his Cabin Fever 2 mixtape. 'I was just a young nigga getting tattoos.
