MOTIVATION BY WIZ KHALIFA

Wiz Khalifa has had an interesting career. He started off as a rapper that rapped about smoking drugs and doing "things" with girls. Today he still raps about the same things except now he raps for movies. I never would have thought that Wiz would be rapping for feature length films. There are two songs in particular that I'm talking about.

1. We Own It by Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz

We Own It was used in the movie Fast 6. It references a lot of the themes that live within the Fast and Furious franchise. An example of this would be the ride or die mentality. Wiz only hangs out with cool people that drive cool cars on cool roads. He talks about family and how family works together no matter what.  2 chainz is present , but at the same time really isin't. He doesn't make sense. The song itself is a bit corny. You really cant take it seriously. Its a good pump up jam to workout to, but that's pretty much it. I wouldn't recommend playing it in the club or in Da club.

Notable lyrics: " And the same ones that I ride with, be the same ones that I die with"

2. Shell Shocked by Wiz Khalifa , Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign

Shell Shocked is a shocker to say the least (pun was intended). The song was made for the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Like We Own It it references the theme of comradery. The turtles are brothers that fight crime together. The message is pretty clear. Wiz gives a quick verse about the turtles. He talks about how they fight for the people. The Ninja Turtles don't need the glory they just want to protect people. Juicy J and Ty Dolla $ign  are the biggest anomaly on this song. They bring up things like cars, Rolex's and passing off girls. To say that I was confused is an understatement.

Notable lyrics: " You know I got your back, just like a turtle shell". ( This line was said by Juicy J............................................)


Overall both of these songs are decent workout songs or just something to get pumped up with. Neither possess great lyrics. As much as I'm not a fan of Wiz I will admit that he gets the message of the movies right. He clearly has the stand out verses in both songs. Personally I like We Own It the best. Its not as corny as Shell Shocked, but still isin't worthy of my ears.  If your trying to get that last set in and don't know how you're going to do it just play one of these songs. You might laugh ,but hey at least you smiled.





P.S.


Wiz is capable of rapping well ,but he chooses not to.
