at his solar plexus and Whit came back with a counter that I didn't even see he

2:03
stayed the same person where is this i don't even know i'm not going to admit that one on air i remember going on tour
2:10
with you once and you got me to indulge in something I've never indulged in i don't know if you recall that yeah
2:16
little breakfast show was good exactly a little breakfast food i'm not I don't usually eat breakfast okay
2:24
serving some broccoli right and eggs and we we did that whiz welcome back to the
2:29
show whiz Khalifa is here cush and OJ too we talking about that man and um and
2:36
we're just catching up man i got to ask you first though we were talking about the NFL draft and a lot of us thought
2:42
that your Steelers were going to pick up Shador Sanders man that did not happen i
2:47
know what are your thoughts on that man did was you hoping for that or um I'm with whatever the city wants man
2:55
you know yeah I'm I'm political when it comes to that
3:02
but that was good for the city good for the city but then that would have been dope man prime Time would have been in
3:08
in Pittsburgh yeah yeah it would have been cool it would have been fun yeah yep damn this dude is good now
3:16
he ain't speaking on it he going to leave that to the to the Mike Toblin and the and the and the owners okay well
3:21
let's go back to uh Black and Yellow um when it first dropped in 2010 off that
3:27
rolling papers project that's 2010 that's crazy that's 15 years ago and and
3:33
to this day it's still an anthem since you mentioned the city u not just for the Steelers but for the Penguins and
3:38
the and the Pirates they all play it today man have you gotten used to that man does that still blow you away it
3:45
still uh trips me out like if I'm watching the game or something like that and they play black and yellow I'm like
3:50
"Hey they're they're playing black and yellow." Like it's like an honor to me you know and they could have it could
3:56
have just happened at that time and then went out of style or whatever somebody could have made a new anthem or
4:01
something like that but to you know be a part of the city's legacy like that and
4:06
to really get that much love I really appreciate it yeah man that's that's big man that's one of those ones that's
4:12
going to play forever i think so right i think we good is that your biggest song to date would you say in terms of impact
4:19
see you again see you again oh yeah see you again yeah yeah see you again is my biggest song as far as Impact as far as
4:25
views on YouTube as far as uh streams all of that it's See You Again see you
4:31
again did you feel that i mean I know sometimes as an artist you can walk out
4:37
the studio and like I think I got one you know I feel good about this one but with that see you again being your
4:43
biggest did you feel something after the song was mixed mastered and complete what were your thoughts um I was really
4:50
excited because of the process that I went through to get to make the song
4:55
because they had a bunch of artists who they wanted on the song as well but they ended up uh well the producers for the
5:02
movie for Fast and Furious you're right okay yeah so they they they put that whole song together um Charlie had
5:08
written it and you know played the you know the pianos and all that and then they made the beat together but um I was
5:16
only supposed to write one verse it was supposed to just be eight bars but they liked my part so much that they just
5:22
kept giving me more and more sections to write and then it just ended up being me and Charlie on there and then um so I
5:29
knew that they were going to go crazy with it but I didn't know it was going to be number one for like 12 or 13 weeks
5:35
and you know just continue on it was to honor uh Paul Walker right m but it
5:41
connected with so many other people who had lost somebody or you know were moving to different stages of their life
5:48
where it just became the song that represented that and um now it's you know still up there as one of the most
5:54
you know streamed and viewed songs in freaking history that's crazy where's
5:59
Khalifa man yeah yeah thank you went from making a project called Rolling Papers to having one of the the biggest
6:07
How many How many views is that that's something billion it's like 6 billion i had to wait i don't know say that that's
6:14
almost everybody on earth has watched that song six billion that says 6 billion almost every person on earth has
6:20
watched that song bro put that in perspective almost every person on Earth yeah that's enough views
6:28
to cover nearly everybody on Earth yeah you're Wiz Khalifa yeah yeah yeah how
6:33
How crazy is that because I told you the last time you were here that I loved your doc like I watch that series and
6:40
I'm hoping for more that you do something like that and I remember a specific clip where you're like in a
6:45
backyard performing for maybe like less than 20 people and now Sway makes this
6:50
note that almost every person on Earth has viewed this like the jump from 20
6:56
people to almost everybody on the planet come on Whiz like that it's awesome like
7:03
talk about being like the chosen one you know what I'm saying like you got to be you got to be chosen to be that person
7:09
amen and um you know my work and my talents and the way that I treat people and the things that I find important and
7:17
put my time into i think that's you know why I continue to get blessed as well like that's that's not it for me um
7:24
that's just one of the great things that I'm able to do with my platform in life
7:30
and I'm just blessed with that and I also value just being able to still go outside and walk around like even though
7:36
every you know person on earth has seen my video they're not at my door like you
7:42
know trying to take my time so I I live a really normal life um along with that
7:47
and I think that that's the real blessing that goes with it well Khalifa is here man you've done really well with
7:54
your business thank you your businesses uh that you that you started and when I
7:59
think of Taylor Gang when I and I think of his legacy now when you think of the
8:05
Juicy Jays who was already a legend by the time he got with Taylor Gang Tai
8:11
dollar sign um when you think of Burner you know all of these different uh folks
8:17
we had Leon Thomas on the other day and he was talking about his affiliations as well yeah um what what are your thoughts
8:24
now what is the Taylor Gains legacy to you taylor Gang's legacy to me is uh we
8:30
just contributed a lot to the culture um whether it be style of dress uh music
8:38
influence or lifestyle as well uh we created a lot of bosses um whether it's
8:45
um in music or behind the scenes too there's a lot of cameramen who watch
8:50
daytodays who were like "Man I'm super inspired by you and I bought my first camera." You know see my man was like
8:57
"Yeah me." You know what I mean there's a lot of different people um you know
9:02
not just music oriented but just a part of the culture who we influenced to boss
9:08
up and motivated to make their own moves and I think Taylor Gang had a lot to do with that just watching us and seeing uh
9:16
how hard we work but also how much we put our friends on how peaceful we are you know we weren't pushing anything
9:22
that's going to you know hurt you or send you to jail i went to jail a couple times but it was just for weed it wasn't
9:28
for anything like you know what I mean it it was just me making a stance for what I believed in and you know a lot of
9:34
that attitude you know goes through just the whole Taylor gang in general just how you know you could see them
9:41
supporting me um on our promo runs you see the homies in the vans with us and we had the radio stations together and
9:48
we're doing it in a way where people can look up to us and be like "Man I want to do it like that." And that has also
9:54
spawned really successful careers so I think that's what our legacy really is i love it man you went you went to jail
10:01
for something you believe in weed yep and and now weed is legal it's legal yep
10:07
because you went to jail Wiz thank you man
10:12
solid citizen right there that's a citizen in the morning don't even trip
10:19
what's that you drinking Whiz it's liquid death it's water okay yeah yep
10:25
you never seen that before i You know somebody came by the show was talking about the name of that water liquid
10:32
death yeah yeah yeah what's that about it's a company that I'm invested in as well okay yeah yeah okay it's everywhere
10:40
though like in stores uh we have a a deal with Live Nation so all the Live Nation events when you go there they
10:47
serve Liquid Dev oh [ __ ] um every time you say that my heart palpitate what the Liquid Dev oh [ __ ] it happened to me yo
10:55
who came up with the name uh it the company did already it was kind of pre
11:00
premeditated just their whole marketing is well our whole marketing is it's
11:05
really extreme it's it's to appeal it's to shock but it's also just water it's
11:12
just water it's just water yeah it is water when you talk about marketing you've
11:17
done so well uh marketing whether you talk about Khalifa Kush or now Liquid Death Taylor Gang um you got the Jin
11:25
right as well how much did what you learn promoting mixtapz where it all
11:32
pretty much started for you how much of that learning how to market and and promote mixtapz Yeah was uh was able to
11:38
transcend into other products all of it um yeah because it's it's promoting a
11:43
lifestyle and as soon as I found my identity through mixtapz and social
11:48
media I was able to promote myself better than anybody could and it's still
11:54
like that and that's why any company that comes to me to help grow their company they know how you know good I am
12:01
at that and how important that is to growing companies and any company that I have that's uh successful you know you
12:09
see me out in front of it and you see me working it and you see me you know on Zoom calls and doing meet and greets and
12:16
the stuff behind the scenes as well as you know uh pushing it on a on a larger scale because that's what you know like
12:23
you said in the mixtape game that's what really matters is the groundwork you can't just slap your face on something
12:28
or put your name on something and expect it to go to the top right anybody you know if they have a tequila business
12:34
whatever it is you know you'll see the difference between people who just put their name on it and people who actually
12:39
work yeah and um that's what that's what I do for my companies i really work the same way he started it's the same way
12:45
you're doing it now yeah yep i want to take you back to like 2010 uh in the
12:51
mixtape era when it went from physical to digital yep you remember that time period a lot of people were scared a lot
12:57
of people embraced it and I was thinking back to what was out when Cush and Orange Juice came out and
13:03
um you had Meek Mills Flamers 3 uh Rick Ross was out with that Albert Anastasia
13:10
chris Brown and Tiger had Fan of a Fan Mac Miller Rest in Power I said his name clap your hands please um he had the
13:17
kids mixtape jcole will have Friday Night Lights Kendrick Crit Cameron um Jada Kiss they all had mixtapz and I
13:25
remember Kush and OJ became the number one tape that year yeah you remember
13:30
that yeah I do we were all over it with our mixtape Mondays MTV and I really appreciate it cuz that helped push it to
13:36
the top man oh yeah rob Markman going out there ra cuz I was just a kid like watching
13:42
y'all in the in the crib and I'm like man I hope that they they'll play it and they did and I And I remember we shot my
13:49
own footage and sent it to y'all y'all was y'all was used to like coming out and seeing fools i was like nope we
13:55
going to shoot it we'll send it to y'all y'all looked at it i was like it's actually good yeah it was great yeah
14:00
yeah yeah yeah yeah and I remember that time and you got mixtape of the year man
14:06
and what how did that like how gratifying what did that make you feel at that time that made me feel so good
14:12
because mixtape were mixtapz were the most popular thing at that time they were more popular than fool's albums and
14:19
that's what made labels really start to consider us and look at us like okay wow maybe there's a new wave because we were
14:26
doing something on an underground level that you know they were paying millions
14:32
of dollars to try to do and um you know it we gained a lot of people's respect with that so you know for the fans it
14:40
was a good moment too to let them know how strong their support was it's like man y'all pushing us to the top y'all
14:47
are making us so popular that you know these people are starting to pay attention to us so it was just a good
14:52
moment for the uh for for everybody it was a shift it was a shift i'm glad I was there man i've been a part of a lot
14:58
of shifts you helped it yeah thank you man that's why you threw the punch that's why I threw the punch at this counter punch yeah just
15:05
wondering i'm still scared of that counter punch and I remember it was JCole but it was a young Kendrick you
15:12
know a young you and you fast forward and look at y'all now but young Drake
15:17
too you know and look at y'all now man that you guys um um to sustain 15 or
15:25
more years in any business let alone the music business let alone as a MC as a
15:32
rapper is rare right yeah for sure you're in rare company yeah definitely
15:37
i'm proud of us and it doesn't even seem like that long cuz like if you would have said you know from the '9s 15 years
15:45
before that like there's a huge difference in those eras absolutely so it's like to just be cool still
15:55
is enough but like we're successful we're able to sell out tours we're able to release
16:00
albums our fans are still you know uh hungry and embracing our music we're
16:06
making new fans we still got love for each other we're all still you know sharing our platforms and things like
16:12
that so it's a beautiful thing congratulations HB with so many accomplishments um wish lists i'm I'm
16:20
wondering I'm listening to you talk um just personally you already know like I adore you like I consider you a little
16:27
brother in my heart and spirit same um thank you uh Super Bowl i see you
16:32
hitting that stage one day is that on a wish list of yours at all if you don't mind sharing i think eventually I just
16:39
want to keep building up like that's just that's just my main goal um especially with this album I feel like
16:46
it's kind of like a reset and like a chance for me to do what I've done again
16:52
but just at a different point in my life and where people might not consider me for that stuff earlier on in my career
16:59
or now in my career I think the second time around or maybe even the third time around I could be considered for that
17:05
type of stuff yeah cuz I could just see it i mean I I said the last time he's the only artist I feel that ever that I
17:12
can remember Sway maybe you could correct me that had two anthems for two separate professional football teams you
17:19
got Black and Yellow with the Steelers and then we them boys with the Cowboys i've never seen anything like that
17:25
before you know so to have two anthems you could do a Super Bowl at any point
17:31
you know what I mean any given point at any given point and they'll go crazy i mean it's why you shaking your head like
17:37
it's a crazy No I didn't even think about the Cowboys thing but yeah you're right at any point so it's like hit that
17:44
stage hey Jay what what you doing it's cool give me Give me like 10 years i I'm
17:49
going be buffer i'mma look better my hair is going to be longer so okay I'mma be even more of a superstar hey you said
17:56
I'mma be buffering a little muscles now
18:01
throwing counter punches well on that I'm going to look better in 10 years so invite me then i
18:08
believe it Liz i believe it cuz I feel like in recent years it's almost like the W and Whiz has stood for wellness
18:15
you know because just as You're so welcome i love that i'm a big time wellness junkie and so seeing that you
18:22
invested in something like Liquid Death that is all about hydration you know how you're showing your fitness routine that
18:28
I'm sure is inspiring sway after that punch everything that you're doing to just
18:35
maintain not only you know the preservation of your muscles like you're saying but also what sounds like mental
18:41
health you're also a meditator i'm wondering when you really embraced your
18:47
wellness routine did it shift your relationship with creativity or
18:52
performance like does a healthier whiz approach songwriting and being on stage
18:58
differently than the whiz earlier um I think just lifestyle
19:06
um motivationwise it changed um I used to get a lot of energy from the chaos
19:12
and just sleeping on couches and traveling and not getting sleep and
19:18
that's kind of what you know this business promotes and yep you know they
19:24
tell you that that's how you have to live to succeed so you know I just threw myself all the way in there and uh the
19:31
older that I got and the more I started to take care of myself the more I realized that that's not what I need i
19:36
need some rest i need some time to detach i only got about three days of
19:41
going hard and you know what I'm saying and then I need to fall back and you know recalibrate and just being
19:48
comfortable with those things and not having to chase this you know these
19:53
results all of the time i think um the wellness part you know helped me to be
19:59
more comfortable with that and now when I do go to create I'm just happy with what I what I can and do at the time so
20:07
I don't put so much pressure on you know um the things that I can't control and I
20:13
really just focus on what makes me happy at the time and sometimes it might not be going to the studio or sometimes it
20:20
might not be doing a feature or whatever whatever and those are the times where I just use that for myself and then there
20:27
is time where I do have to grind and I do have to go hard and I do have to make myself uncomfortable but I'm already
20:33
doing that you know by working out and by pushing myself and by centering myself so when it comes time to do that
20:40
I feel way better and I have the energy for it so it's just like a crazy little balance that when you
20:46
understand your body and you understand breathing you understand your energy and you understand your mind and all of that
20:53
stuff it kind of just works together and you don't feel like you're missing out on anything it's all intertwined right
20:58
versus compartmentalizing all aspects of your life that's a beautiful note thank you for sharing i love it where's
21:04
Khalifa is here lines are lit up 8887423345 before I go to him Cushing OJ
21:11
was such a um undeniable classic and now you
21:17
got part two yep before I ask you the question why part two for you off mic we
21:24
were talking about what what what makes a classic album for you what makes a classic album what makes an album class
21:30
a classic album is something that you have to listen to over and over again
21:35
and it reminds you of the best times of your life um a lot of the times it'll
21:43
remind you of discovering your first classic album like when you find your
21:49
cousins your older cousin's album that you ain't really supposed to have or you might look at the cover and not even
21:54
know who the artist is but you see the track list and you see all these names and you're just discovering and you're
22:00
like I like this one i love this one i love this artist i like this beat this intro this interlude like everything
22:07
about the album just takes over you know your your your existence at that time
22:14
that's what makes a classic album well you you put together some classic albums yeah uh what was your biggest challenge
22:21
with putting together this one part two my biggest challenge with putting this together was just letting go and letting
22:29
it happen okay um when I started it I I had to check
22:35
myself cuz I was really trying to make concepts that weren't there what do you
22:41
mean by that like um I was looking for the inspiration that I had for the first
22:47
one okay and I was forcing the inspiration instead of just being the
22:54
inspiration and then I had to just get off of social media and I had to detach
23:00
and I had to look at old pictures of myself and watch old dayto days and old
23:05
videos and really just check myself and like it wasn't a I wasn't forcing anything i was happy i was enjoying
23:12
myself so I had to just enjoy myself i had to have a great time yeah and as
23:17
soon as I started having fun and you know challenging myself to do things
23:23
that I told myself I wouldn't do uh which was you know revisit Kushorn's
23:29
Juice anyway i told people I would never do that so that was the first thing was like really revisiting it not just
23:36
making something that I call Kushner Norris Juice 2 but really revisit Kush
23:41
Orange juice and make a number two mhm and as soon as I um you know figured out
23:46
what that was and what that pocket felt like I started enjoying myself I started
23:51
you know doing things that other people enjoyed and I was getting really good feedback from so when I'm getting
23:57
feedback I know how to work off of that really well and um it just made the process you know something where I
24:04
started a little you know not knowing where I was going and it just made it very clear mhm mike and Keys um Problem
24:12
you you you hit up a lot of guys from out here to help with this project right yeah I did why why was that it just
24:17
happened that way i wanted to work with Problem because uh well Jason Martin is his name now no Jason Martin yeah my bad
24:24
Jay yeah I know right yeah um I went to work with Jason because
24:31
uh early in my career before anybody even knew who I was uh when I was doing
24:36
I was promoting this song called Say Yeah it was my first single when I was signed to Warner Brothers um I worked in
24:43
the studio with Terrace Martin and and Problem and they were like my first you
24:48
know industry homeboys who kind of like showed me um you know the game like just
24:54
out here is a little bit different there's radio there's this there's that there's just relationships are a little
25:00
bit different and I always admired their sound as well and I just felt like it was really important for me to lock in
25:06
with some people sonically who looked at music the same way that I did because
25:11
doing Cushion Juice 2 the album I wanted it to have a certain sonic you know uh
25:17
integrity to it i didn't want it to just um be something that came and went or
25:22
like even blended in with what was out now i wanted it to stand out because of the nature of the music it's really
25:29
funky it's soulful it's jazzy it's like ambient like you know what I mean so
25:36
there's a lot of stuff that you have to treat it the right way and those are dudes uh in including DJ Quick those are
25:43
dudes that I really trusted as far as taking the sound and making it sound the way that it's supposed to i love it man
25:50
we got Whiz Khalifa here i'm going to open up the phone lines 8887417
25:56

28:46
competition for my business Saber Wellness is a cannabis uh business and I wanted to ask you like you know what
28:53
what challenges have you might have seen when you first got into the industry you know Khalifa Kush and everything what
29:00
challenges you faced and overcame and then where do you see the the industry heading towards um the main challenges
29:06
are just the laws um how much they change and you know just doing things
29:13
legally so you can be in business long term um I've had some partnerships with
29:19
some people and you know there's been some agreements that turned into disagreements and a lot of that you know
29:25
it gets in between the business but as long as it can be worked out in the long run um you know just try to do things
29:33
the the most legal way so you can so you can last in this thing because people will try to try to come for you and um I
29:42
think just the industry in general um you know I see it growing and I see it
29:48
being something that is uh worldwide that we can all benefit from and um even

33:31
love you guys love you have a great weekend one more in there man everybody is nostalgic so many calls my goodness
33:38
wow man you just represent such a great time in everybody's life and I think it's the way you held yourself too i've
33:45
seen you in adversity you stayed the same person i've seen you in conflict
33:50
you stayed the same person i've seen you broke same person as I see you unbroken yep
33:56
you know I see you complete and you say you stay the same person thinking about what Jasmine was saying and I even think
34:03
back then when when music festivals start becoming a thing uh for me at least I used to go to all of them and
34:09
you guys were synonymous with festivals right uh festivals don't feel the same
34:14
for me as they used to are they still the same to you or what have you seen I
34:20
think it depends on what you're there for but for me I I kind of agree they're a
34:25
little bit different yeah um um do you have to adjust just your show i mean is the audience
34:31
different or just the run of show no no no for me if uh if I'm there um the
34:36
audience is still the same even if I do like a rolling loud or something like that where it's like you know a mixture
34:42
of different crowds um I think just music in general you know you get
34:50
respect for a certain type of presence up there so it doesn't matter whether it's old or new if you still got that
34:56
presence people going to walk away you know feeling something and um I always
35:01
make sure you know we deliver like I got a cold ass band i don't really do too
35:06
much crazy [ __ ] with the production um because I'm like cost efficient but you
35:14
know moving forward I may bump up the production a little bit but I don't feel
35:20
like the best shows are always the best production either you know what I'm saying there's shows that are really great where it's like man that
35:26
production was crazy but sometimes you don't really need all of that like sometimes you just need to like command
35:33
mother you know what I'm saying like people and and and like have them experience that [ __ ] on another level
35:39
that they that they didn't know that they could experience on so um no I don't I don't feel a
35:45
difference in my crowds i just know that the kids they want to be entertained a little bit differently mhm and um I seen
35:53
the evolution because it started um you know really chill like smoked out vibby
36:00
you know what I mean but then um our future they changed a lot with other
36:06
element when they started just jumping in the crowd and then um when we started
36:11
traveling and going overseas I know like Rocky he loved the mosh pits
36:18
and like all of that stuff and And so Cardi and all of them come from Rocky
36:24
mhm so that's where you get more mosh pit more you know the aggressive more
36:30
aggressive a little more physical yeah cuz that's how they rock over in Europe absolutely but they'll do that to any song though
36:37
like they just love it over there like see you again they rock pit yeah like you're they throw
36:44
stuff on stage if they like you like you know what I mean like they're aggressive over there like what's the craziest
36:50
thing you got thrown at you on stage would you say it i don't know i don't know what it was bro it hit my foot and
36:56
I thought somebody shot me up i was I was like I'm
37:02
hit but I just had to keep going
37:07
i'm hit but yeah so I I think like the the
37:13
energy and the aggression from Europe and like how much they appreciate the music that like translated over here to
37:21
