“Roll Up” (Wiz Khalifa Cover) [Ep 6, Fall 2011]

By Pat Noonan:

Acoustic version of the hip hop song “Roll Up” by Wiz Khalifa, experimented with the picture in picture style that seems to be the trend of the century haha.

[Editor’s Note: As we’ve done in the past, we’re bending the rules for this Pat Noonan performance.  While it doesn’t strictly adhere to the live performance standard set and followed by the hundreds of acoustic cover song music videos on this site, this arrangement of Wiz Khalifa’s “Roll Up” is unique and even startling for its qualities as an interpretation.  And that has always been at the heart of the Laptop Sessions: featuring a performer’s ability to take a song that may be over-produced or lost in layers and break it down to its most basic core.]

The Guest Sessions: Fall 2011 Season kicks off

Fall 2011 Season:  Every other Friday

Run Dates:  September 9th – December 30th

Coming Attractions:

This season includes nine episodes and a wide range of talent — by far, the best series of Guest Sessions ever released heretofore on the Laptop Sessions blog.  Performers range from individuals in their bedrooms to full bands performing.  The artists being covered run the gamut as well: from Elvis Costello to Wiz Khalifa, and Sam Cooke to Phish.  For the first time ever in Laptop Sessions history, we will feature an acoustic cover song music video performed in a different language.

PLUS:  We were still waiting for the perfect video for our December 30th season finale when this was written.

All this and more came every other Friday for the rest of that year:

You won’t want to miss even one episode of the Fall 2011 season of the Guest Sessions cover song music video series!
