    As pop rap albums go, O.N.I.F.C. is beyond solid, full of immaculate production and airtight if simplistic rhymes about money, girls and weed.

    Wiz's bleary-eyed charisma elevates both radio bait ("Got Everything") and trippy shape-shifters ("No Limit").

    The album slightly suffers from copycat syndrome with "Initiation" being the latest in Hip Hop's long line of Lex Luger replications (guest starring Lola Monroe, Taylor Gang's Nicki Minaj soundalike) and "Remember You" following the trend of working with drug chic singer The Weeknd, but Wiz Khalifa mostly succeeds at occupying his own comfortable lane.

    While O.N.I.F.C. doesn't break new ground musically for Wiz, certainly not lyrically at least, his flight won't be grounded any time soon.

    O.N.I.F.C. isn't a great album, but it isn't lazy either.

ONIFC is a return to form for Wiz Khalifa, it has some songs that pound, some that are more R and B, and then he has his trademark trippy beats and chill lyrics and everyone loves Wiz for. If you don't like this album, then you don't even know what good Wiz is, and shouldn't give him a bad score for nothing.… Full Review »

There was such promise, and I had such hope that he was the one, a phoenix rising from a sea of ashes of mediocre hip hop, though it has become painfully clear that he is nothing but a false prophet, a fraud. I know that Wiz owes me nothing, but I can't help but feel cheated about what could have been. Hope is a dangerous word, but I am afraid that is all I got now.… Full Review »

Not only is his music one dimensional, but it's also not very good. As mentioned in another review I saw, the best verses honestly came from guests, though The Weeknd on "Remember You" and Cam'ron on "The Bluff" stole the show. If you want to check this album out at all, just check out those two songs and move along.… Full Review »
