Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we traveled out to Los Angeles to sit down with Pittsburgh's own Wiz Khalifa in the studio as he records his next album! We discussed the infamous Chief Keef video shoot in the desert with 50 Cent, hitting Curren$y on MySpace and moving to New Orleans to live on Spitta's couch for a month, how Snoop talked Wiz into acting, what it was like to perform for three audience members at a CMJ performance in NYC, his inspiration for the O.N.I.F.C. artwork and the internet's initial reaction, and what he thinks of all the artists who have taken inspiration over the years. We talk growing up in the Steel City, being comfortable wearing Chucks when everyone else was rocking Jordans, spending much of his high school years focusing on recording music and performing at local colleges, and the best thing he got from signing to Warner Bros. Records. All that, plus why he's gotten heavily into kickboxing, his favorite remixes, his most hilarious dated lyric, how fatherhood changed his perspective on life, what happened when Berner asked to borrow Wiz's car, which major records he's broken as a Vegas DJ, his honest reaction to the news that there's a SuperFly remake, and much, much more!

Back on the East Coast after another great trip to Los Angeles for your boys. It's the real. Another one. We went to LA for business, for good food, for good weather. We were like, let's just get out of New York and enjoy ourselves for a week because we don't do any enjoyment here in New York. We went out to Los Angeles and we sat down with our guy, Wiz Khalifa, for a great interview. And at the end of it, he was like, do you want some parting gifts? And we were like, of course. Yeah, it's like a game show. Who does not want to leave with parting gifts? Are we going to get leftovers from some of his burrito? Is he going to give us a Taylor gang chain? whatever it is. Yeah. We're here for it. We are here. That is what we came for. And what did he offer us? He gave us weed. He gave us two pre-rolled joints with Khalifa Kush. Well, he said he had a lot. So he was like, you know, here, just take it. And by the way, in case you're wondering, he did have a lot. There was a box filled with pre-rolled joints.

0:55.5

He was just like, joint for you, joint for you, joint for you. Like, he no longer has one of his friends roll up all of his joints. Now he has this machine that does it. Whiz is forward thinking. Yes. So he has a couple joints for us. We say thank you. We listen to some new music and we leave.

1:11.6

And we put those joints in the car, in the center console, and we go about our business.

And that's fine until you get back to the car and it smells like...

A college dorm room.

1:22.6

It's like a basement.

1:23.6

It smelled like we were on the farm.

1:26.6

It was unbelievable how loud this Khalifa Kush was. And we're going to go back to New York. Obviously, we're not going to take it through TSA, even though... I wanted to pet the TSA dog. We have friends at TSA now. No big deal. Yeah, the TSA dog has a sign around it that says, do not pet.

1:45.4

That was your concern? It looked like a friendly dog. And then it's like, oh, wait, this is very much a not friendly dog. No, that's, no, no, no. It's not that the dog is not friendly and you're not supposed to pet it. It's that the dog is trained to find the weed. Yeah. And you would be carrying the weed. It's not a matter of like, oh, this is a seeing eye dog.

2:02.8

Don't pet it. It'll screw up its head. It's that it has one job. Uh-huh. And that's to find the weed that you have on you. I did not have weed on us. You just care about like petting the dog? I want to pet the dog. Look like a friendly dog. pet the dog and the dog's gonna bite you you are on weed right now

2:19.3

I'm a very zen so he gives us this weed and we're like well what are we gonna do with it
