Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Speaking of disappointed albums...

Wiz Khalifa, WTF were you thinking when you were making Rolling Papers?

I mean I know he's not the greatest rapper alive and I'm not expecting that when I listen to any of his tracks but the fact that he doesn't have any production from crew is mind boggling...

Where is Cardo and Slegdren? Johnny Juliano x Wiz = magic whenever they work together...Heck you can even add Ryan Tedder (Pittsburgh native who worked with Wiz before) on the album with so R&B type tracks!

I mean it's cool to have the hot right now producers on ya tape but I feel like a good 70% of his tracks should of been in house...I mean I like the guy because of the sound he brung which was lost with Rolling Papers...

I will listen to Deal or No Deal before I ever give that album another spin lol

Prolly sold well tho...

Me and my friend made a bet on which would sell more in the 1st week between Lasers(my bet) and Rolling Papers. I won.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

The only Wiz Khalifa song I actually liked was the first one I heard:

Haven't heard anything else I liked really though, and it seems like he just gets weaker and weaker with each song. Plus, if I hear anyone else say Taylor Gang or _________ when I'm walking across campus, Ima have to beat somebody down.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Eh, I got nothing against Khalifa. I can't take a whole album but he's had some stuff I was diggin. I was really feeling On My Level but admittedly it was mostly the beat.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I thought Black & Yellow was nice. Sure it got overkilled with remixes and sports teams using it, but it was still pretty good IMO.

I didn't mind the Flight School mixtape either, but I had a hard time trying to listen to all of Kush & OJ.

Oh I agree..just seems like this thread is more devoted to big budget cats.

Just like a lot of people in the game today...

Wiz's Mixtapes > Wiz's album

That's why I'm disappointed.

He left Warner because he wanted to do what he wanted to do, past on Drake's tour last year to do what he wanted to do and turned down Rick Ross deal to MMG to do his own thing but yet his album sound like nothing like Wiz Khalifa.

It's like the songs for his album got put thru a filter and we ended up with Rolling Paper Lol

I like Black and Yellow, Roll up is a ok single and a couple other songs could stay but the rest is meh..

Him singing in every track is overkill, it's like the suits were like "Yea Wiz make sure you do that singing thing, chick dig it"

I think the album was put out too fast anyways, it's like 3 months after he got signed he dropped an album..

It was probably because Black & Yellow exploded. I think the album was originally supposed to come out later, but once B&Y did big things, they pushed it up.
