More on Slow Burn: He pops up occasionally during the movie to give commentary. That’s the same way they started Schindler’s List, too, in case you were wondering. The very first thing said in the movie is, “Man, this girl’s trying to fuck up my dick.” It’s delivered by a CGI joint (FOR REAL) named Slow Burn, voiced by Mystikal (FOR REAL). But let’s run through a few gems from it anyway. Fundamentally, it’s no different than, say, Kid ‘n Play’s 1992 movie Class Act (smart kid has to team up with bad kid so the bad kid can learn to be smart and the smart kid can learn to be bad and they both learn life lessons along the way).
As mentioned, it stars Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg. And I rented it and watched it because it’s part of my job because I am not very good at being alive. It’s one of those straight-to-DVD/VOD affairs. It’s called Mac & Devin Go to High School. Regardless of how much weed, high school and braggadocio talk are on the record, the duo are able to stay artistic and produce a worthwhile soundtrack that gives the listener an authentic sonic embodiment of their upcoming movie.Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg made a movie. As well, the production and hooks propel the quality of these tunes as the lyrics could have been sharper at times. Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa sound like two homies who are genuinely having a good time and are not overcomplicating things or sounding contrived on the mic. The best element of “Mac & Devin Go to High School” is that for the most part the 12 song soundtrack flows well. “6:30” is also a disappointment as it features a lackluster hook and guitar-laden beat that seems out of place on the record, while Snoop and Wiz continue flossing in their raps. This song makes the listener think the ganja talk has gone too far in some cases. “French Inhale” featuring Mike Posner contains an exasperating chorus and concept as the two emcees speak about inhaling weed through their noses. Though the majority of the record is well thought out, a couple tracks do fall short. The slow groove and 8-bit synths of “World Class” along with reflective lyrics from Snoop provide a nice departure from the rest of the soundtrack while Wiz adds extra flavor with a radio-friendly hook. The execution of this track is perfect with its outstanding production and solid lyrics by both artists, while also taking advantage of Wiz Khalifa’s knack for providing melodic hooks and bridges. Now when we shop we don’t care what the cost is” Now I with the Boss Dogg, all the bad hoes want himĪnd my pockets on swole, I’m talking Rick Ross big When he ain’t have nothing they used to stall ’em You calling her babe, she calling me instead Wiz Khalifa: “Sun roof open, smoking while I’m rollingīottle of Perignon, we can go kick it by the ocean I’m passing all my classes with flying colors High school nigga what the fuck you think Hit the switch, quickest way to get a bitch Smoking sticky green, having sweet dreamsĪnd pull the top back and let the ass drag Snoop Dogg: “Snoop and Wiz, the new Cheech & Chong Snoop and Wiz sound especially smooth on this tune while flossing about the good life: The standout track from “Mac & Devin Go to High School” is the late-night groove “That Good,” which contains high-pitched spacey synths and a thumping bassline. It represents the soundtrack’s emphasis on setting mood above all else with easygoing lyrics mentioning weed, girls and high school. The lead single “Young, Wild & Free” featuring Bruno Mars is another solid tune that contains a simple piano loop with bottom-heavy drums. Though he won’t ever be known as a top lyricist, Wiz sounds more engaged on the mic with Snoop than he has shown to be in the past. A good example of this is the funky, atmospheric “You Can Put it in a Zag, I’mma Put it in a Blunt,” where both emcees cleverly trade joint-influenced rhymes every four bars. From the start of the record, the chemistry between the rappers is apparent as they both give off a fresh energy that differs from their solo albums. Fittingly, the D-oh-double-G has decided to follow in the footsteps of Method Man and Redman’s “How High” and share a blunt with another weed connoisseur, Wiz Khalifa, as they both star in the upcoming film “Mac & Devin Go to High School.” Released in December 2011, Snoop and Wiz are featured on every track of this record as they attempt to combine their creativity on the mic and produce a quality soundtrack for their film.Īs a duo, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa sound like they have been rhyming together for years.
He’s also made an equal amount of headlines for his status as hip-hop’s marijuana ambassador, either through his songs or many brushes with the law. From rap music, to appearing in Chrysler ads, “The Price is Right” and “Starsky & Hutch,” Snoop Dogg is the quintessential hip-hop icon and mogul.
