Burn After Rolling - Wiz Khalifa


Of the rappers I really got to know throughout this summer (Curren$y, The Kid Daytona & Wiz Khalifa) it took me the longest to like Wiz. He was hailing from Pittsburgh and I wasn't really sure what all the hype was about at the time. I'm pretty upset that I didn't get down with the Taylor Gang earlier, because I'm a fan now. Khalifa takes a while to grow on a person that isn't used to his stee-lo. However, once one gets past not knowing who he is, the man makes for one of the more enjoyable listening experiences on wax. Wiz has a nice flow and combines that with witty punchlines and funny observations (most likely derived from 'divine' places). He also has a solid team behind him. One thing I wish is that like his stoner brother, Curren$y, Wiz shores up his content and his lyrics. At times the tape felt repetitive (understandable, considering the tape was 20 tracks). Other than that, Wiz just solidified himself as a major up-and-comer. Taylor Gang or DIE, bitches...
