"When I'm Gone" found Khalifa trying to sing, and songs like "On My Level" sounded cumbersome, with Khalifa straining to sound like a club rapper over the track's gritty, instrumental, ("Gin got my drunk as f*ck stumbling out the bar/Plus I'm struggling tryna find the keys to my car/ 'Cause I be going hard.") Khalifa was suddenly an aspiring mainstream act, a potential pop-rap sell-out and the effort was panned by his loyal fans and even the emcee himself at one point. Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers 2012 - Wiz Khalifa - O.N.I.F.C. The emcee's hotly-anticipated debut album Rolling Papers was rigid, uneven, and curated for frat parties more than wake and bake's. Wiz Khalifa Discography 320 Studio 2006 - Wiz Khalifa - Show and Prove. Where his mixtapes thrived in their cruise-control chilled-out vibes, Wiz Khalifa's albums have always suffered from a strange stiffness he's never been able to escape. His bars were never steeped in metaphor or even necessarily clever, ("Groupies wanna leave the club wit' me/Ain't nothin' to a G'/Let your hair blow in the breeze/ Roll some bomb-a** weed,") but gliding instrumentals and a splash of melody made his discography the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon smoke sesh in the 2010s. On his earlier efforts, the Pittsburgh emcee's breezy attitude and malleable delivery made him a perfect poster child for weed rap. wiz is killin it.Wiz Khalifa's albums have never been as good as his mixtapes. lyrics make me, a white kid, want to get in rap game just because of what he says and how he says it. Will give a fair rating after a few more listens (aka listen to it high) but I'm surprisedĪt how much I like this, thought he eternally fell off. Surprising moments (think a more fast-paced Devin the Dude), more like his Kush & OJ days.
Final Verdict: Again, only the first 7 tracks are good. In the first half he reignites that old Wiz feeling but the 2nd half of the album is so scattershot that its hard to give him a pass for it. In signature fashion, Wiz blows his smoke (T.A.P.) and gloats about fame (Blindfold) throughout the 18 tracks. Taylor Allderdice seems like Wizs attempt to return to a project like Kush & OJ but is hoping to acquire mainstream success. Dubbed after his place of higher learning, Cameron turned his tenth mixtape, Taylor Allderdice in and walked away with an A+.
Stepped his game up a ton since Rolling Papers and has a really likable charisma and When it comes free music on the Internet, Wiz Khalifa sure knows how to package it. Omg omg omg), some amazing hooks, good features from the likes of Juicy J, Smoke DZA, etc.,Īnd Wiz's rapping - while not super technical or "lyrical" - has a great flow and he has Peeps who gave it a 1 before it was even released can eat a dick.
Plus having Juicy J throughout your album can never be bad thing. The difference between this and Rolling Paper, lyrical content-wise is isn't that different, but the production and the atmosphere is more like what his fans wanted all along. Wiz always tries something different with each release, and this is probably some of his strongest work to date. This is not a 4rrmnrrrrmnmnrrr+#rrrporrp33orrīetter than Kush & OJ in my opinion. I liked it the first time i listened to it then i realized he's saying the exact same thing over and over and over. The chrono trigger on never been pt2 kills.
Just listen to it, oh and Juicy J where the fuck have you been damnit!? II are very good songs with good hooks and decent beats.rBut don't except anything particularly new it's all the same talk about weed, money, girls, cars oh and did I say weed?
It was about time he dropped something good.rCalifornia, Mar圓x, Never Been Pt.
