Wiz Khalifa enjoys marijuana. ~~THE MORE YOU KNOW~~

[4.38]
Thomas Inskeep: Wiz Khalifa has one of the least interesting voices in hip-hop, and one of the least interesting lyrical subjects on his mind. Ever. Because all he seems to care about is weed, which is incredibly boring. To summarize: you have nothing interesting to say, and no interesting way to say it? Yeah, then I’m not interested, either. (Sadly, neither Pat nor J have anything to add. Probably because they’re high.)

Patrick St. Michel: “I need it all the time/I don’t know what else to say” sums up Wiz Khalifa pretty well. Project Pat and Juicy J seem to try a little bit more — but then again, Wiz literally is just pronouncing certain words in a Jamaican accent, so it’s a low bar.

Anthony Easton: They seem to really enjoy smoking weed — it’s almost a hobby, like your kid brother playing Magic: The Gathering or your dad subscribing to those model train magazines. I like the technical language of anoraking so much that I subscribe to at least one trainspotting Tumblr. Extra point for how they spit “kkkk” out, more points for the LeRoy Jetson line.

Hazel Robinson: Wiz Khalifa, world’s most famous Hufflepuff, hasn’t done anything I’ve liked enough to acknowledge being made by the purveyor of my favourite album of 2010 since, err, then. And I thought this was continuing that trend until the beat kicked in — this was never gonna be a “Black & Yellow,” but if every boring stoner you knew told you about their weed habit over this hook, you’d probably still be more than Facebook friends.

Katherine St Asaph: I’ll give them this: “KK” is a slight improvement over the tedium of hanging out with stoners; instead of inventing a doctor’s appointment at 8 a.m. tomorrow, hi wish I could stay bye, you can just turn the track off.

Scott Mildenhall: The hook is one of those instances where you repeat something at speed and it loses all meaning, which is appropriate because, of course, KK is a made-up drug. It does get a bit annoying though.

Micha Cavaseno: Wiz Khalifa is possibly one of the most misunderstood entities in rap. He is a top-notch technical rapper in the Ma$e mold (as opposed to the obvious Twista/Tech N9ne technical rap mold), where placement and flow is priority one and everything else falls around the foot of the pedestal priority one got put on. Besides that, he’s also a top notch curator of rap, be it Max B, Curren$y, Lil’ B, and, especially, Three Six Mafia. So here he invites cohort Juicy J and his big brother, five-time National Treasure Project Pat, to perform technical ecstasy about what else? Weed. It’s a dumb, brain-dead jam session of wood-shedding and leaf-burning, and it’ll win no fans for Khalifa outside of his own fanbase. But it’s sweet to see him take the pains to showcase these legends. Beat is plain awful though.

Brad Shoup: As soon as Khalifa says “blowing,” he’s sucked into a Gravitron; it’s way more manic than a weed hook oughta be. And the real deal’s tucked into the end, with Juicy J intoning over heavy bells of the mind. In the body of the song, the lonesome post-rock melody carries on, its dignity under siege by two separate flat patois impressions, two AK jokes, and a Willie Nelson crack. I figure if your strain’s good, your music’s either amazing or insane garbage. This is OK.
