Summary:2 Chainz, Cam'ron, Juicy J, Courtney Noelle, Pharrell, and The Weeknd guest on the second release on Atlantic Records from the Pittsburgh rapper.
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.
The beats, by Pittsburgh homeboys ID Labs and others, whip up aural smoke billows, and Khalifa's are just off-kilter enough to give you a contact high.
Clinging to the guest stars is crucial to getting through this thing--pros like Courtney Noelle provide basic hooks where the headliner's own horrible mantras ("I got so much," "Fall asleep") fail completely.

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.…Expand

The biggest problem is that it lacks enough creative substance to make it stand out from the rest of the pack. Sure, there are some solid selections such as the celebratory banger "Work Hard, Play Hard" and "Remember You", a bittersweet collaboration with the Weeknd, but for the most part, this is a lazy uninspired effort.
Once again, Wiz continues to rap about how much money he makes and all the things he can afford, and especially his fondness of smoking weed. Those are pretty much the two central themes that constantly reappear on this album, and trust me, it gets old really fast, the lyrics are a mess.
Unless you're a die hard fan of Wiz, "O.N.I.F.C." isn't worth your time or money. At the very least, I definitely suggest buying "Work Hard, Play Hard". It's the best song on the album, by far.…Expand
