Wiz Khalifa - GangBang
Artist: Wiz Khalifa
Featuring: Big Sean
Producer: Lex Luger
Album: Cabin Fever Mixtape
Label: Rostrum/Atlantic/RRP
You’ll be hard pressed to find two artists hotter at the moment than Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean. The Pittsburgh native is at an all-time high, catching another gust of wind after the Super Bowl and his color-oriented single finding new life. Now, Wiz continues to build his buzz by dropping his long awaited mixtape Cabin Fever, seemingly out of nowhere. One of the project’s standout tracks, GangBang, showcases the young artist’s gradual shift toward a new sound. Produced by Lex Luger, the instrumental is packed with heavy bass and quick-strike snares that set a bombastic stage for the braggadocio emcees. Khalifa doesn’t exactly impress lyrically - with his vocabulary mainly consisting of “hos”, “money” and “b*tch”- but he isn’t really expected to impress. Instead his addictive flow and confident presence is enough to hold you over until the catchy hook arrives. Enter: Big Sean. Throwing out punch-lines like John Wall dishing out assists, the G.O.O.D. Music signee brings more flaunt and a heavier lyrical game to the record. GangBang is head-nodding music, with enough-confidence-to-cheat-on-your-girlfriend lines over ignorant drums. For more bangers be on the lookout for Khalifa’s upcoming album Rolling Papers, dropping March 29.

I keep it short and sweet on Sunday evening...
The mixtape was slightly underwhelming - that is what success does, it breeds high expectations - but this record bangs (pun intended). |

Pretty sold on the mixtape, a great treat for fans, and this is the highlight of the effort. I think Sean went harder than Wiz on this, but that's just me. Overall it's a solid bass-heavy record that fans can enjoy until Rolling Papers.

Definitely deserves banger status. The beat alone is worth 3 stars, and Wiz and Big Sean both handle their business.

Solid effort from Wiz and Big Sean. Lex Luger's production is solid as well. 4/5

This is pretty mindless. I like the simple, bass-heavy beat, but I enjoyed Wiz's recent "On My Level" more than this track.
Like "On My Level," it's nothing special when it comes to lyrics. I guess I'm just not feelin this one as much as the other reviewers. |

I'm sure I'll get tired of those booming Lex Luger beats, but for the time being, I can't get enough. So while Wiz' verse is forgettable, it's enough in combination with Sean's punchlines to have me rocking. Dope.

The whole mixtape was pretty blah, but Big Sean really made this track stand out.

At least Wiz is rapping. Im worried the label situation is screwing this dude up. Kush and O.J. was one of the best, most successful indie albums in recent years, and for some reason, his label is trying to change this dudes sound.

Wiz needs to beef up his lyrics before he beefs up the bass. I've been disappointed the past few releases. C'mon Young Khalifa! Wasn't feelin Sean in this one either. Maybe my ears are just having an off morning.

Honestly, I could have made this. Just a bunch of one-syllable rhymes all about different things. Big Sean did good though.

Hey, Nathan S., I am with you on those Lex Luger beats. Man, so much Wiz lately. Overall, this is pretty solid and I will give it some listens for a while.
