The song itself does not mention Pittsburgh or sports, although the song's music video made the connection to Pittsburgh explicit, showing various iconic locations in the city, as well as apparel associated with the football team the Pittsburgh Steelers, the hockey team the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the baseball team the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has stated that he got the car in those colors as a tribute to his hometown of Pittsburgh, whose official colors are black and gold, and its professional sports teams, most of whose colors are black and some variation of gold or yellow. The song is about growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and also Khalifa's car, a yellow Dodge Challenger Hemi with black stripes. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Wiz Khalifa's first number-one single in the US. It was released as a CD single in honor of Record Store Day. The song was written by Khalifa, along with Stargate, who produced it. It was released on September 14, 2010, as the lead single from the album.
*Ether Report Card Rating: 7/10." Black and Yellow" is a song by American rapper Wiz Khalifa from his third studio album, Rolling Papers. It’s not overbearing and doesn’t require much thought. You can play this in multiple scenarios and it will suit the setting. Replay Value: If this song is anything it’s a banger. Travis’ darkside preference of production is a new look for Wiz who is usually on a lighter style of production. Thus, while the collaboration was unexpected it makes a lot of sense. Originality: While much of Wiz’s catalog has to do with marijuana, what’s original is the music sonically. If there is substance here, it’s a controlled substance. Travis and Wiz are simply talking their shit over a dope beat. Lyrics/Substance: Let’s be honest, there is not much being discussed here. The additional production handled by Crazy Mike, Lex Luger, TM88, and Juicy J adds an extra feeling to this song that makes sense for Travis Scott to be featured on it. The drums pop like they’re supposed to and the synth has this suspenseful feeling to it.
Production: The beat, originally produced by DJ Spinz and used for G-Eazy’s “ Order More,” is a surefire banger. Wiz Khalifa and Travi$ Scottcome together on the unexpected banger “Bake Sale.” Previously previewed by Travi$ Scott and TM88, the highly anticipated cut is set to be on Wiz Khalifa’s upcoming album Khalifa.
