Super Bowl Sunday: Lil Wayne Vs. Wiz Khalifa

It may be the Pittsburgh Steelers Vs. the Green Bay Packers come SuperBowl XLV in Dallas on Sunday, but the real battle is between Wiz Khalifa and Lil Wayne.
Wiz gained widespread airplay for repping his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA with his chart topping song "Black and Yellow." Although the song doesn't specifically mention the Steelers, it has definitely become their theme song to pump up fans. Just before kickoff in the Steelers’ win over the New York Jets that sent them to the Super Bowl, Wiz Khalifa performed "Black and Yellow" behind the Steelers’ end zone in Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field. Steelers fans went wild, waved towels and sang along fervently.
“I definitely wrote it with Pittsburgh pride in general. In everything I do I want to represent my city,” Wiz told the Wall Street Journal, “It just surprises me that people are even that interested in it.”
But the last few days, Lil Wayne, who hails from New Orleans, didn't want the Packers to be left out. Wayne counts himself as a Green Bay fan and created his own freestyle, "Green and Yellow."
That’s cool, just the fact that people want to grab onto it and represent it,” Wiz said. “But as far as ‘Black and Yellow’ goes, there’s only one, and everyone knows what I’m talking about.”
For his part, Wayne stands by his Cheese heads, "I've been a Brett Favre fan since like 1995. I love the Green Back Packers. It's crazy bein' a Packers fan and a Red Sox fan and your two favorite players get traded. It's rough, like, now I'm a Red Sox and Dodger fan. What? Now I'm a Packers and Jets fan."
Who do you think wins this battle, Wiz or Weezy? Who is going to take the trophy come Sunday, Steelers or Packers? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
