"Roll up" is One of the worst attempts at a crossover, poppy, cheesy mainstream song. I mean it's being successful but the agenda behind it is painfully obvious  ::)

Post by: Blood$ on March 21, 2011, 05:23:41 PM
not bad after one listen, maybe 3-4 tracks that were meh but the rest was pretty cool, good shit to play in the ride or if you're just straight chillin'

I have to be honest though, I think Kush & OJ > this

Post by: PLANT on March 21, 2011, 05:31:34 PM
dope, Im listening to this now and feeling the first track for sure....Not sure what to expect with this mainstream album, but Ive been following Wiz for quite awhile now and have got lots of dope material from all the mixtapes hes put out and his album with Currensy.  Its crazy to see how big hes doing it now compared to when I first started listening to him.  I remember watching him on ustream a couple years ago when he was streaming live in his moms basement.

I don't even think its that successful at least compared to Black and Yellow but I get what your saying
Title: Re: Wiz Khalifa- Rollin Papers (Official Discussion Thread)
Post by: PLANT on March 21, 2011, 06:05:31 PM
my fav tracks are

when im gone
wake up
the race
fly solo
rooftops
cameras

the rest is just ok.  The overall sound of the album is pretty consistent, but like Nima said, you can tell they were going for the "commercial" sound to sell this album, bigtime.

Yeah I was hella anticipating the album after "Get On My Level" and "The Race" but naw, I kept fuck with this lol.

Ya definitely not as successful as "Black & Yellow" but that was HUGE. "Roll Up" is still a successful single.

Roll Up reminded of a Nelly joint.  Wasn't feeling it.

wow, really glad i sampled this on youtube before buyin...with the exception of like 4 tracks this shit is pretty gay..not what i was expecting at all...will not support..
Title: Re: Wiz Khalifa- Rollin Papers (Official Discussion Thread)
Post by: Chamillitary Click on March 21, 2011, 07:27:30 PM
Is it just me or does "Wake Up" & "Roll Up" sound the same? lol.
Title: Re: Wiz Khalifa- Rollin Papers (Official Discussion Thread)
Post by: Action! on March 21, 2011, 08:22:19 PM
I hear crazy Kid Cudi & Nelly influences.  Anyone else?

I really like,

When I'm Gone  Dope intro.  Most other cats save this kind of track as the last song.
Hopes and Dreams
Top Floor I like that indian influence.
Rooftop  Curren$y feature = :)

Wiz Khalifa isn't really my style.  He can flow, nice smooth vocals.  Sounds better harmonizing that most other new comers. 


Album has really nice cohesive atmosphere to it, very ambient.  I hope there's an instrumental version released.  It's got me looking forward to more Curen$y's albums.

I know it's easy to blame labels BUT look at atlantics track record now... B.O.B, lupe fiasco- lasers, now this.... I think it's painfully obvious Atlantic is pushing this sound out.
Title: Re: Wiz Khalifa- Rollin Papers (Official Discussion Thread)
Post by: Gamestarr on March 22, 2011, 05:40:25 AM
Album is waaaay to soft and label formed.  :-X

Every other thing Wiz ever put out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

exact same that happened to B.O.B...dudes need to leave the majors alone and start making the music they want to make  :grumpy: :grumpy:
Title: Re: Wiz Khalifa- Rollin Papers (Official Discussion Thread)
Post by: Chamillitary Click on March 22, 2011, 07:05:26 AM
Atlantic has figured out the formula; one or two nice selling singles = sales.

B.o.B. = Airplanes & Nothin' On You
Lupe = The Show Goes On & Words I Never Said
Wiz = Black & Yellow & Roll Up

The rest of the album doesn't matter to them, so they figure let's just make those songs sound like singles and hopefully another one catches for a third single.

Post by: TRG on March 22, 2011, 07:08:41 AM
Album sounds like how i thought it would. Very commercial. So im not too disappointed. I think a lot of the tracks a laid back an cool. Ill bump this.

Post by: MistaNova on March 22, 2011, 07:24:49 AM
Regardless of how Wiz's sound has changed for better or worse I wish him the best. B.o.B.'s album and Lupe's album both made it to no. 1, now it's time for Wiz to take the title.

lol?i mean do you really think Show Goes On & Words I Never Said are the only "Single"-tracks?i mean you can smell Atlantic Records all over the record...do you think Lupe made tracks like Out Of My Head & Break The Chain for fun?  ;D

Too soft and commercial for my liking.  There's a few cool tracks.

I still don't think he's topped Kush and Orange Juice, which I think is his best material.
