Rolling Papers (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Wiz Khalifa - in the US for quite some time a weft forming superstar now almost 5,000,000 fans on Facebook in Germany but only connoisseurs a term. The rapper from Pittsburgh, in 2005 began his career at the age of 17 years, actually has already numerous publications under his belt, is yet called, curiously enough, both here as a newcomer. In fact, "Rolling Papers" is only his third studio album, but between the albums published Wiz Khalifa always free mixtapes, which quickly gained cult status with the fans. So if you have not heard of Wiz Khalifa, you can download about his last two mixtapes "Cabin Fever" (2011) and "Kush & Orange Juice" (2010) for free to completely legally.
His sound has always been versatile - rough, hard numbers have always mingled with entspanteren titles, and to make it equal to say on "Rolling Papers" awaits us his softer side. That this fact alone the camp of Wiz Khalifa fans should split something, is not an issue. My feeling but is "Rolling Papers" a great album became, where many are likely pleased! The tracklist in detail:

1.) When I'm Gone

The album opens with a soulful piano intro, which then picks up momentum and sweeps properly. The content is a matter of not too much to cling to his riches and possessions that you anyway can not take for life. For me, definitely one of the best songs of the album.

2.) On My Level (feat. Too $ hort)

"On My Level" is a very crunk-heavy number that significantly gloomier comes as the introduction to the album. In this regard, the song a bit from the rest of the style of the plate falls. Although is not one of my favorites, but you can listen to time.

3.) Black and Yellow

The flagship track on par "Rolling Papers". This track (an ode to his hometown, whose colors are black and yellow) stormed Wiz Khalifa end of 2010. No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the US and ended up abroad great success. Also in German clubs could be heard this song! A real classic!

4) Roll Up

It continues with another single release. "Roll Up" is a mix of thoughtful and cheerful, which I like very much! The chorus is great and a praise to a good friendship. Wiz has incidentally shot a music video with R & B singer Cassie purpose.

5.) Hopes and Dreams

After two brisk songs Wiz sprinkled with this song again a calmer number. For my taste, but a little monotonous and not as interesting as the other songs.

6) Wake Up

A great anthem, in the Wiz explains that he, no longer want to wake up from his career, which is like a dream. He brings a wealth of vocal and done so again a peaceful atmosphere. The beat comes incidentally from the same producers as "Black and Yellow" - Stargate

7.) The Race

I immediately fell in love with this track at the first hearing. "The Race" is an ideal track for summer evenings, whether at the BBQ or in a relaxing evening finale. The flow is great! Unconditional out tip.

8.) Star of the Show (feat. Chevy Woods)

The second of three features. Chevy Woods is actually a label-mate from the Rostrum Records - family. For me the song is not a highlight, but I hear it I still like to.

9) No Sleep

Next, a very jazzy number, but a lot of fun. The chorus catchy character hangs long and overall is "No Sleep" simply a very entertaining number!

10.) Get Your Shit

That's right, this song starts with an acoustic guitar! The chorus in the background even come to Streicher. Nevertheless (or perhaps because of?) Is "Get Your Shit" in my eyes one of the strongest songs on the album! Wiz processed here a separation, because that is lyrically seen. The musical atmosphere that is created here is great.

11.) Top Floor

For me personally, this song does not say so on. Stylistically, it is similar to "Hopes and Dreams" and perhaps he therefore does not hit my taste very. One of the most peaceful songs.

12) Fly Solo

Grandiose! Perhaps the poppigste song "Rolling Papers", but also at the same time one of the highlights! The kick-off is somewhat reminiscent BoB which you do not expect. But as I said, this Wiz Khalifa-meets-BoB song is a real feel-good treat!

13) Rooftops (feat. Currency)

Now on the unusual but highly successful pop liner follows with "Rooftops" back a song in the typical style of Wiz Khalifa. No nonsense, raplastiger, ominous. Like it a lot. With currency - one of the best friends of Wiz - The third and final feature is now represented.

14) Cameras

A wonderful, slightly pensive finale. The chorus is, as so often again a single catchy and has high recognition value. Is simply fun!

Conclusion:
I had while listening to Wiz Khalifa's new album "Rolling Papers" a lot of fun and keep much of the plate. It shows how versatile the rapper from Pittsburgh may be, and that he must be able to pinpoint not only on his hardcore hip hop and his Crunk numbers. "Rolling Papers" is sure to attract a wide audience, since many different influences are recognizable. And maybe he creates yes then this country a breakthrough. Overall, a varied, entertaining CD that I just can recommend highly.
