When I first heard "Black and Yellow" by Wiz Khalifa, I really liked the beat and I have to admit, the song is catchy. I just can't get into the whole repetitive thing about it. It doesn't do it for me.
Crooked I, member of the super-group Slaughterhouse that also consists of Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Royce 5'9, has the solution.
In this edition from last week of a short series of freestyles of his called 'Hip Hop Weekly Reloaded,' Crooked I flows over the "Black and Yellow" beat, representing his home of Long Beach, California in place of Khalifa's Pittsburgh:
"This is how we do it in the LBC: packing metal, packing metal, packing metal, acting ghetto."
His lines are also much more personal and possess a greater storytelling quality than the original.
Check it out.
