In September, Wiz Khalifa first discussed his Rolling Papers debut album. At the time, Khalifa said he would likely be recording songs with Devin the Dude, 8Ball & MJG, Cam'ron, and Snoop Dogg. It seemed as if Wiz Khalifa still intended to feature these artists on the album.

Last week, Rolling Papers was finally released and it lacked many of these collaborations. The album featured verses from Too $hort, Chevy Woods, and Curren$y. Only three guest appearances made the Rolling Papers list. However, Wiz Khalifa has been working with several artists.

Recently, Wiz Khalifa discussed his album and its lack of guest appearances. The Pittsburgh rapper said he did not feature many of the artists he promised because he wanted the album to be more about him. Usually, when artists are trying to break into the game, they feature several big names in order to boost sales. Wiz Khalifa had already built his image, so he decided he wanted the spotlight for himself.
