Nardwuar caught up with Wiz Khalifa during his stop in Vancouver, and right away he blew away the person he was interviewing. Nardwuar started off by giving Wiz Khalifa a Chech&Chong record with the rolling papers still intact, before taking him back to the lady who put him on to Snoop Dogg.
Nardwuar then gives Wiz Khalifa a Mel Man record and then a record from The Jaguars, who went to another school while he was in school as well. Wiz Khalifa was open and candid about his musical history and the different records that influenced him as he grew up.
When Narwuar brought out a Devin Tha Dude Doobie Ashtray record Wiz Khalifa got sentimental, and thanked him for always putting out good music. Frieda Pane was also discussed because she wrote the “I get High” record that Styles P sampled. Her Grandson is Flying Lotus and you can hear her influence on the record.
Check out the interview below and let us know what you think about it.
