Album Review: Wiz Khalifa - "Rolling Papers"
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Wiz Khalifa released one of the most complete albums of 2011. For the 2010-2011 period, Rolling Papers is definitely a must-have. From the beginning to the end, the album is quite entertaining.
Obviously, Wiz Khalifa is not the best lyricist in the world, but he is good at what he does. Khalifa raps about what he knows and what he likes. Because of this, Rolling Papers is a fitting title.
Despite turning heads for several collaborations and a partnership with Snoop Dogg, Wiz keeps the focus on himself on this album. He said he wanted the fans to get to know him before he had many guest appearances.
However, the appearances from Too $hort, Curren$y, and Chevy Woods of Taylor Gang were fitting and not intrusive to the overall album.
Track listing
1. "When I'm Gone"
2. "On My Level" (featuring Too $hort)
3. "Black and Yellow"
4. "Roll Up"
5. "Hopes & Dreams"
6. "Wake Up"
7. "The Race"
8. "Star of the Show" (featuring Chevy Woods)
9. "No Sleep"
10. "Get Your Shit"
11. "Top Floor"
12. "Fly Solo"
13. "Rooftops" (featuring Curren$y)
14. "Cameras"
After listening to the album, all the way through, it is clear Wiz Khalifa knows how to make hit records. The album is a good listen, especially on long distance trips.
Hip Hop Vibe rating: 6/10 Read more...

Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
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. Read more...
