![]() Also, if you're from Pittsburgh you can easily tell he's from the same area just based on his accent. ![]() Nothing too spectacular, but thankfully he has a very good flow and his voice is very listenable and almost calm, but not in a lazy sense. He keeps rapping about his favorite topics which are first and foremost, smoking weed, as well as Taylor Gang, money and girls. Lyrically Wiz has never been very impressive and this won't change anyone's mind about that. All of the production is so smooth and listener friendly it'll make you wanna listen to this mixtape over and over again. The whole album is full of so-called "club bangers," such as GangBang and Taylor Gang among others, as well as some slower and more mellow songs like Phone Numbers and the title track. The beats, provided by Lex Luger, are by far the most important aspect to this mixtape. This album embraces plenty of the hardcore rap sounds that Wiz first started out with as well as some of what we've gotten from him over the past year. The first thing that makes this mixtape a lot better than Rolling Papers is the fact that it's not overly mainstream sounding. It had a few standout tracks such as On My Level, Get Your ***, and the biggest hits Black and Yellow and Roll Up, but other than that it was pretty much just plenty of filler. His major label debut, Rolling Papers was underwhelming to say the least. Nowadays, Wiz has fully embraced the mainstream and all of the things I mentioned, and he's not looking back. During his first few years in the game Wiz Khalifa had a much more underground and way less "poppy" sound, with songs such as Pittsburgh Sound which featured no auto-tune or sung choruses or anything like that. Being from Pittsburgh myself, I've heard plenty about this guy even before he made it as big as he has these days. Over the past 3 or so years, Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa has risen to the top of the current mainstream hip-hop scene. Review Summary: Forget all about Rolling Papers, this is Cabin Fever.
