Wiz Khalifa and 50 Cent found themselves caught out there when they showed up to shoot the video for Chief Keef’s video for “Hate Being Sober” and the young rapper was nowhere to be found. But that didn’t deter them from making business plans on their own.
During an interview with Hard Knock TV, the Taylor Gang leader said that he and Fif discussed working on a movie together like he did with Snoop Dogg for Mac & Devin Go to High School. He said that there are no concrete plans to begin production but that he’s taking it seriously as a priority this year.
“We had talked when we shot the Chief Keef video. I just respect 50 from a business standpoint as well as music,” he said. “That’s what we were just talking about, is how to expand and build on what we both have going on and how we can do it together. We made a song together and I was like, ‘You know, let’s do a movie!’ That’s basically how me and Snoop did our situation, it was like we chilled and was like, let’s do a movie. … Through time, we’ll put it together and make it work, but it something I’m definitely taking serious as a project for this year.”
He also addressed the growing influence of Molly, otherwise known as MDMA, and its rising prominence in the Hip Hop community. The Rostrum Records signee, who recently recorded an ode to the drug with Tyga called “Molly,” said that he saw its prominence in Rap music and would be “crazy” not to take advantage of it.
“You know what? I think it’s passed the people who are actually using it. It’s just money now. I would be crazy not to tap into that. I want some of that money, too. It’s kids. They’re partying and having fun. I would never tell you what not to do. I never been that dude. When I seen that it was growing and becoming more and more popular, at first I was one of the peoeple like, you need to chill with the Molly. I said that. But the more popular it grew and got bigger to me and my influence, so it’s like you could get with it or get lost, and I do not want to get lost. So I brought the Mary aspect to it. I never talked about poppin’ Molly, but I’ll say some slang that people who do Molly, they fuck with it.”
Khalifa most recently released his sophomore album O.N.I.F.C., which bowed at No. 2 with 141,000 copies sold. He is also prepping his collaborative project with Curren$y titled Live in Concert, which is currently without a release date.

Who cares what this cornball, Wiz Latifah, has to say?
At least 100,000 people and you since you read the article
Wiz about to get to the money with Fitty, I ain’t mad at him…y’all should check out http://www.thegrandreport.com too, they usually have some good stuff on there as well
In other words..
It’s trendy and the kids nowadays like it so i gotta milk it for all it’s worth so i can make all my money, but i would never let my own children listen to a song called “Molly” and at the end of the day i’m a good man, a religous man with alot of integritiy..after you pay me.
Lol.
^^THIS! Wiz Khalifa’s stance on this “Molly” subject is one of the endless reasons as to why hip hop today is turning for the worse. It’s all about the money and much less about artistic values, morals and rectitude.
Dudes that stand for nothing will fall for anything. Henceforth this mideless “molly” trend.
I love how laid back this dude is reminds me of myself.
What a joke. Wiz has 0 lyrical ability and he just admitted to talking about Molly solely because it’s popular with the kids and he can make a buck off it.
No credibility. No respect for the music. A couple years ago when everyone was screaming “Taylor Gang or Die” I chose to not listen to Wiz’s awful music and I’m still alive. I would also like to point out how Wiz’s new album is a terrible in every regard and hasn’t been met with nearly the same reception or success as his previous work.
“A couple years ago when everyone was screaming “Taylor Gang or Die” I chose to not listen to Wiz’s awful music and I’m still alive”
props for this, my dude. i like this quote
^^ haha yea, what a profounding and thought provoking quote. As if, Wiz and his “Taylor Gang” was going to go around and kill everyone who didn’t listen to his music?? Haha what the hell??
What’s even funnier is: Molly today is hardly ever MDMA. That was the old days. 2010 and on, Molly has been TFMPP, Methylone or MPDV….so basically most of these rappers are swallowing Bath Salts. Why do you think the sudden rise in Molly popularity? The cheapness and availability of these bath salt drugs that somewhat mimic MDMA, kids these days don’t know the difference—how would they?
…and the MDMA DEA report (no mention of Molly anymore–notice the date is 2011, the most recent report):

…and just to back up my statements: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drugs_concern/tfmpp.pdf
…sorry Wiz Khalifa generation, you’re taking bath salts not MDMA.
Dude is corny as hell. But it seems thats what these kids wanna hear. The cornier you are, the more you’lll sell. Look at Lil Wayne and Drake. Two more cornballs and they’re selling millions.

You are absolutely right, something a lot of these younger cats don’t know. It’s a shame because pure Molly is completely safe, and has many therapeutic qualities,, but that m1 shit is deadly
wiz did a better job than waynes $75000 verse
we used to do molly way back in the days in Sydney, but we called it “caps”.
Niggas in the street need to start checking mother fuckers that don’t sell good product. You can’t get away with it in the main stream so why should you be able to get away with it in the underworld. Fuck gangsters. Man up niggas. Wiz Khalifa is a switched on nigga.
F##k wiz khalifa…
Did anyone know that the german soldiers where given mdma, during ww2?
what a douche bag
Is this dumb fuck really trying to take credit for Molly? I was using Molly at fucking Bonnaroo long before this fool was even populary, fucking amazing the things people say.
clearly did not watch the video
Endorse drug use because its popular and makes you money even though you don’t use it… wow.. I have no respect for these kind of people (even if he did use it I still wouldn’t). Also who listens to this guy he’s got a horrible flow, really basic lyrics that a lot of times don’t even rhyme, an annoying voice, and really repetitive subject matter.
And please don’t come back to me talking about balance, as that is no reason to listen to someone who is a total NO TALENT. If I want to listen to someone do with kind of rap I listen to A$AP Rocky (I know he’s no super talent himself but far better then Wiz).
Couldnt have said it better. I used to fuck with Wiz all the way up to Kush and Orange Juice and even liked his first album but now the guy all he says is “I GOT SOOOO MUCH MONEY, IM A BALLER, HEY GUYS IM RICH, DID I FORGET TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY BANK ACCOUNT?” Good for you Wiz but Who gives a fuck from a fans perspective?
Ahh Wiz Khalif, the machine behind the man. Duke fifteen minutes up already. NEXT
that molly shit is going to have niggaz lookin like crack heads in 5 years ….just watch. Nobody knows the long term affects of this shit…if it makes you feel as good as i heard it does…people are going to get addicted. Fuck niggaz like wiz…stand for something…i cant stand these anything goes ass niggaz.
you talk like people have gotten addicted to mdma till now…. lol its been around for a while
dunno why u american niggas call it molly, in uk its called mandy
maybe cause they’re american and uk sucks
Molly’s lol smh…ppl are so fucking stupid…smoke a blunt or a joint if you trying to get a buzz ppl..I’m about to roll mine up now.
Wiz u a cool dude I m starting to listen to ur music liiiiitle by little but I can’t agree with what you just said. Isn’t about the money on that one that shit is dangerous Idc how much MORE money it’d bring me I wouldn’t stand for that whatsoever u have to be a man first at the end of the day and stand for what u believe in. Your comments on the subject are contradictory. If I wasn’t promoting that shit I wouldn’t switch my stance on the subject just to get a few xtra dollars,that’s like selling and compromising ur soul almost can’t so that. -If you can’t stand for nothing ill fall for anything – one of the lest sayings out there.
