It takes a lot guts to even attempt to rap over an instrumental as iconic and well-known as “Still D.R.E” but is up for the challenge and, to be honest, he does a pretty good job covering his bases. Not everybody would be able to comfortably flex their bars over and ‘s legendary link-up. A good number today’s hottest stars would be incapable spitting anything that would impress the “old heads” and the younger generation alike. Standing somewhere in the middle that generational divide, Wiz Khalifa may have been the perfect candidate for this challenge as he bumped the classic in his ears and teased his own version the smash hit.

Exhibiting his trademark stoner laugh at the top the record, Wiz Khalifa filmed a compilation video himself listening to a preview “Still Wiz,” his remix one the most consumed hip-hop records all time. “I’m still Wiz/N***as got me in that mood/How they hating when they know that I’m that dude/I hear they hating ’cause they know I got the juice,” raps the Pittsburgh star confidently. He includes props in the video, sipping from a bottle orange juice when he vocalizes his levels swag in the hook.
With Wiz experiencing several years in the shadows, this could be pointing to a much-needed return to form for the superstar rapper. Depending on how he decides to release this — or if he ever drops it rather — this has the potential to be big. What do you think?
