In an interview with MTV's Mixtape Daily, Wiz Khalifa stated that Kush and Orange Juice would be the title for this release, because "it's perfect for wake-and-bake".[4][5]
The mixtape's cover artwork is an homage to David Ruffin's 1980 album Gentleman Ruffin. The subject matter mainly consists of partying, women, sex, and marijuana.[6]
The eighth track, "The Kid Frankie" samples the Loose Ends song "Hangin' on a String".[2] Khalifa has stated that the song was inspired by the character Frankie from the film The Business, who listens to Loose Ends during the movie.[4] The tenth track, "Never Been", samples "Schala's Theme" from the soundtrack to the video game Chrono Trigger, composed by Yasunori Mitsuda.[7] The ninth track, "Up", samples Tevin Campbell's "Could It Be". The eleventh track, "In the Cut" samples Frou Frou's "Let Go", as performed in the end credits of the film Garden State. The third track, "We're Done", samples "Our Time Is Here", a track from the Camp Rock soundtrack performed by Demi Lovato.[8]
Upon its release, the mixtape received critical acclaim, with New York Magazine calling the mixtape "a nice showcase of the youngun's commercial appeal", and that it "makes us think classic G-Funk (specifically, DJ Quik) and a party mindset".[9] Entertainment Weekly stated that the mixtape was "pretty solid", and "difficult to resist".[6] PopMatters called it "a great listen."[10] Pitchfork Media rated the mixtape 7.2 out of 10, stating "for the most part, Kush and Orange Juice is a surprisingly relaxed and easy listen".[8]
