    As I'm writing this right now, Blacc Hollywood is Wiz's best album. It's very different from his previous albums (Rolling Papers & ONIFC) due to how diverse the tracks are, however lyrically it's almost pretty much the same. I found the album to be "fun" but the downside to the album is it lacked direction but strangely, it was something I also found so good about the album.

    It's a good album, for someone who "just wants to listen to music" and doesn't care about lyrics.
    And even with the lyrics being bad, Cameron still talks about the things he does, cares/cares not about and enjoys and expresses who he is, what he does, why he does it and so-forth, and isn't that what we want our rappers to do? To be who they are?

    Three months after the release of 28 Grams, Wiz Khalifa releases a new album called Blacc Hollywood

    The album opens up with “Hope”, a nice track with Ty Dolla $ign with a very catchy and radio-friendly hook. The second track is the already well-known hit “We Dem Boyz”, in my opinion one of the less inspired tracks on this LP. “Promises” is the first track with pop influences on the    Three months after the release of 28 Grams, Wiz Khalifa releases a new album called Blacc Hollywood

    The album opens up with “Hope”, a nice track with Ty Dolla $ign with a very catchy and radio-friendly hook.
    The second track is the already well-known hit “We Dem Boyz”, in my opinion one of the less inspired tracks on this LP.
    “Promises” is the first track with pop influences on the album and as well one of the best songs.
    “KK” is one of the single released from Blacc Hollywood, a stoner-anthem with Project Pat and Juicy J to support him. On the Curren$y-featured “House in the Hills”, Wiz looks back at his career in one of the most introspective songs on the album.
    “Ass Drop” is a great club banger with a not as good hook that slightly ruins the song. “Raw” is a trap song that bites A$AP Ferg style in a non-original way.
    The last tracks are filler and forgettable. I expected more from the collaboration with Nicki Minaj “True Colors”, which sounds off and boring.
    The DJ Mustard-produced bonus track “You and Your Friends” is way catchier and even if it didn’t peak high on the charts, it’s a nice summer anthem.
    Blacc Hollywood has nice but also boring moments and it’s not very cohesive. It sounds like a compilation of hit songs.
    This album flows better than his last projects, if you like Wiz Khalifa, you’ll undoubtedly like this album.

    Everybody know that Wiz Khalifa is not a lyrical genius, but I'm kinda tired of all the song about weed. Of course the beat is f*cking dope and contain awesome verse. So when you check the good and the bad, you can see that the album is kinda good.

    If you’re in it for the live-it-up-till-morning jams (and they are entertaining), then you’re going to be spinning this record at plenty of house parties. But artistically speaking, the album isn’t a progression of the rapper’s career; it’s content to stay on the same eternally- stoned playing field as 2012’s O.N.I.F.C.

    Melodies coast, but they don’t always stick; everything’s too mannered, too clean, and the album is marred by a clinicality further punctuated by its bonus tracks.

    The lyrics on this album are more of the same.
