Wiz Khalifa Doesn’t “Feel Any Pressure” To Top Previous Releases

by

Wiz Khalifa recently confessed that he doesn’t “feel any pressure” to outperform or best his previous releases. Moreover, he made such statements candidly on his Twitter page in a series of small but poignant reflections. Of course, Wiz is one of those dominant early 2010s artists that continues to put out relevant material today. What’s more is that his status and star power remain as established as ever, so maybe his words seem a tad unnecessary. Still, it’s clear that with all that growth and experience, it becomes harder to stay satisfied with anything other than what you truly want to pursue.

“I don’t feel any pressure to top what I’ve done,” the Pittsburgh icon explained in a tweet. “Only keep adding on and staying authentic to where I’m at in my life. In a world full of formula driven records im making what feels good and what i feel people would enjoy. I wish this much peace and happiness on every artist cause it’s not easy navigating through a long term career. I’m showin all my Taylors what it looks like when done right,” he concluded in another tweet.

Some Great Artists Don’t “Feel Any Pressure”

After these remarks, fans expressed a lot of support for Wiz and showed him plenty of love in the replies. Also, they showed a lot of excitement and hype for his upcoming tour with the one and only Snoop Dogg. The two collaborators and kindred artistic spirits will go on the High School Reunion tour with Too $hort, Warren G, Berner, and DJ Drama. When they previously teased the tour, fans initially believed that they were working on a sequel film or album. Still, it’s not entirely out of the question.

Meanwhile, Wiz actually has plenty of live performances to look forward to. Furthermore, he’ll hit seven Midwestern cities on The Good Trip tour with Joey Bada$$, Smoke DZA, Berner, and Chevy Woods the week of April 15th to the 22nd. Maybe Wiz doesn’t need that extra pressure when he’s already doing so well for himself. Regardless, peep his other tweets below and check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates from Wiz Khalifa.

by

Lil Dicky recently expressed that he feels “misrepresented” by his old music and wants to come back to hip-hop. Of course, he’s been incredibly busy with his hit FX TV show, Dave. Moreover, he preceded small-screen ambitions with a cheeky and playful music career, one that he plans to revitalize. In a recent interview with Consequence, the multi-medium artist spoke about his thought process.

“I do feel bad for my music fans — I would be so annoyed at me,” he began. “But it’s not because of laziness. I don’t think I could work any harder than I work. As soon as I finish working on the show, and it’s the off-season, I’m in the studio every single day trying to get this thing done … There probably is a belief that ‘he’s never gonna put out an album. He’s just an actor.’ But it’s just not true. I don’t care when or how long it takes. I am going to put that second album out.”

Moreover, Lil Dicky’s humorous career has drawn comparisons to everyone from Eminem to Kanye West, as odd as those may sound. After first breaking out with viral tracks and his Professional Rapper album, he’s looking for a change of pace. Also, he shared how his previous work didn’t showcase his true talent, and how he evolved since then.

“I feel totally misrepresented by my music online because it’s all so old, and I’m just so much better than that as an artist,” he said. “When I first started out, I was making my songs in my San Francisco apartment for like two years before I even showed anybody anything because I just wanted to build the right body of work. And I think I’m just trying to build the right body and roll it out the right way, and I just get better and better … I’ve advanced as an artist. I just need the time.”
