I'm really sensitive to the sun so I figured I'd write a short review on Wiz Khalifa's highly anticipated rap album titled Rolling Papers, I'm aware that this was leaked and that the general population probably dislikes rap music but whatever.
I'll start off by saying, overall the album is pretty subpar. Any Wiz fans expecting anything remotely close to Kush and OJ will be disappointed. The beats are decent but employ heavy basslines commonly used for radio singles, no "We're Done" or "The Kid Frankie"-esque music is to be found here. His lyrics are still pretty decent throughout but the wordplay and unique sound that he has developed over the years has seemingly vanished as the album seems like a CD full of radio singles instead of a CD of Wiz Khalifa. With that said, I've been a Wiz fan for a while and I'm pretty critical of his recent move towards the mainstream, there is a lot of music to be enjoyed here and I'm sure many people will like it but in my opinion, he's done better. I just hope he bounces back to his old style.
sounds really nice - want to have a real summer here :)
ReplyDeleteI wish summer would reach utah sooner.

ReplyDeleteMan I hate that movie
ReplyDeleteLoved the music though

ReplyDeletei think every music genre has its masterpieces, just which one should be defined as those differs from person to person =)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the video!
ReplyDeleteMm, Leonardo DiCap- oh wait, we're here for the music? That's cool too, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, the music is awesome! Keep me posted like this, because your opinions are perfect! That is, if opinions can be perfect? I'm not sure.
WHY AM I STILL TYPING?!
I am a fan of wiz, but I don't think it was a good move to go more mainstream.
ReplyDeleteHe should have waited a bit but the temptation for much much more money was there. I'll still listen of course.
I'm not familiar with his stuff. I really like it tho.
ReplyDeleteYou know what pisses me off about music like this? There's no lyrical skill. All they do is say what/how things are. There's no deeply motivated literary thoughts, no passionate idioms for the way things should be, just; hurr weed slang, bitches, nigga, nigga bitches.
ReplyDeleteGood to see wiz dropping some new music. Black and yellow is getting OLD
ReplyDeleteMaking money wish i had that opportunistic chance.
ReplyDeleteNone the less, I hope that you're having a good time.
ReplyDeleteuuuh, thats so awesome! thanks for sharing the music :D
ReplyDeletenice music, thanks
ReplyDelete80 degrees? So jelous of your weather.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Wiz. I don't know why but I just can't get into his music. My girlfriend listens to him all the time and I get so annoyed by it. He is a good artist though, just can't stand it for some reason.
