I find it very interesting that Wiz Khalifa was born in a state so close to us here in Minnesota. For some reason it’s weird to think that big stars were at one point an average person. I myself do not really listen to rap; therefore I don’t know much about him or his songs. With that said, other than smoking, what do his songs represent? What is the feel given off after listening to his songs? I have heard his song “Black and Yellow” and I agree completely that it gets stuck in your head. I think it gets stuck in your head so easily because of what you said, it’s catchy beat. You said the music video is very fitting, but for readers like me who don’t have time to go and watch it, you should tell us a little more about it! Your statement about how he likes his fans and gives away songs for free is very interesting. Not many artists do this, so I think that’s pretty cool. Another thing I would have liked to learn more about is, what artists is he alike and different from? One that pops into my mind is Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift sings about cute love stories, break ups, and friendships. From what you said Wiz Khalifa doesn’t sound like he raps about these topics too much. Another difference they have is in the way they dress. Taylor is elegant and Wiz Khalifa seems like he would be a little rougher or more street like. In your blog you wrote about how you think we should go buy his new album when it comes out, for many reasons. What I am wondering is, have you ever been to one of his sold out concerts or have you ever bought one of his previous albums?
