What is Wiz Khalifa's current place in hip hop?

[Trajan]

pop rapper

Rob Markman: So you're not a pop rapper? You said, nah

Wiz Khalifa: Yeah, I'ma pop rapper
I'll pop up and make $5 million nikka


So trill

 

[SirBiatch]

Trash rapper all around with a bum discography. Only few Wiz stans care about Kush and Bullshyt. No one else is checking for it

 

[Wiles]

pop rapper

Pop up and make a million.

 

[Black Hans]

The same status as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars saga

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Just 'cause he's a weed head doesn't make him Snoop, especially not an updated version

Wiz has the privilege of being one of few rappers today on a major that supports them, and because of that, gets handed pre packaged hits from their tent camps

Even with the hit records, he's still not that big of a star

Snoop carried two undeniable classic albums, made like 2 - 3 other great albums

Was involved in some of the biggest moments hip hop has seen

Is the most transcendent star hip hop has seen

And has been doing it consistently for 25 years

Cut it out.

What 2 undeniable classics do Snoop have?

 

[SonnyDecay]

he's the go to rapper for people who don't know shyt about music but try to look "hip"

 

[keepitrealprk]

people forget he really solidified his success by being a great live performer.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

naw he's always had slaps. Even his albums have slaps. Iont see how you can like Kush and OJ or Taylor Allerdice and not like ONIFC. Blacc Hollywood is okayyyy, not his best but it's not bad.

 

[DonRe]

Great mixtapes terrible albums. shytty singles that sell. Terrible lyrically. Charming nonetheless cuz the bytches love him.

He is the rap version of Alfonso Soriano.

Kush and orange juice is his best piece of work that I still bump to this day.

What 2 undeniable classics do Snoop have?

The Chronic and Doggystyle

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

I don't fuk with any of his new music, but Id still go to a Kush and OJ only concert

this

kush & oj is like wiz version of trap or die, plus he is a great live performer.

 

[Kenny West]

Currently he's a rapper who crossed over but his fanbase isn't really visible at all. His music isn't as good and the production choices especially fell off after Taylor Allderdice and ONIFC. At some point the image surpassed the music and once he went to cali that dove off a cliff to. He has to make due with singles but since he managed to cross over he has the platform to get tons of exposure with the right song like the Paul Walker jawn.

It's crazy as big as he was a few years ago now people don't even give his music a chance forreal. Just shows that it isn't smart to go style over substance. You may have your "wave" but it won't be long until some new nikka is the next one in your spot being treated like the second coming.

Drake said it the best on I'm on One:
"But get it while you here boi.
Cause all that hype don't feel the same next year boi"

Rob Markman: So you're not a pop rapper? You said, nah

Wiz Khalifa: Yeah, I'ma pop rapper
I'll pop up and make $5 million nikka


So trill

Mothefukker beat me to it.

You forgot the the goofy ass giggle in the middle of that

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The Chronic and Doggystyle

So 1

 

[tuckgod]

So 1

Snoop was the star of the Chronic
