You think you had a good Spring Break? Sure, maybe you lounged on the beach all day playing Angry Birds, but unless you were at Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for MTV's Spring Break 2011, you missed this sick performance of "Black and Yellow," the unofficial Song of the Year by Wiz Khalifa.
Introduced by DJ Pauly D and Deena Nicole from "Jersey Shore" -- is "DJ" now an official title for Pauly akin to Sir Sean Connery? -- the Pittsburgh rapper gave a high-spirited performance of his hit song in front of thousands of poolside fans. With him darting all over the stage, we had flashbacks of a more-clothed but no-less-excited Wiz at this year's mtvU Woodie Awards, where the MC ran around the entire venue during his performance before accepting his Woodie of the Year award later that night.
"Black and Yellow," a tribute to the colors of Pittsburgh's sports teams, has inspired countless parodies, freestyles and variations, including Maino's "Yeah Carmelo" and Lil Wayne's "Green and Yellow." We've been bumping the ubiquitous track since late last year, and watching this performance only gets us more amped for this week's release of Khalifa's third album Rolling Papers.
