Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa featuring Juicy J “Smokin’ On”
The latest leak to emerge from the soundtrack to Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa‘s “Cheech & Chong gone hip hop” flick Mac & Devin Go To High School, “Smokin’ Out” is like all the other material we’ve heard from this project so far: it doesn’t set out to re-write rules or blow minds as much as it wants to be comfort food for the more general fans of the two emcees behind it.
So we get the blunt brothers doing their usual, hyping their next level weed supply (“Smokin’ on some shit called ‘I Don’t Know’”) and better-than-you pimp status (“My ballin’ is actually”), this time with a Southern twist: Producer Drumma Boy brings the larger-than-life drama with a trunk-rattling bump and nod-worthy horn fanfare on the chorus, while Juicy J further strengthens the track’s Memphis flavor with a final verse that features him boasting of being so damn high “Niggas think I’m Chinese cause my eyes straight”.
A decent enough cut, but nowhere near an essential part of any of the artists involved respective catalogues.
The Mac & Devin Go To High School Soundtrack drops December 13th.
