    Although many people would say the album is more of a poppy type of album it still doesn't take away from the greatness of it. Believe me people I love the hardest gangsta suff out there and Wiz can top the best of the them just look at on my level feat too short so Wiz can make a whole album hardcore and he has before so all the haters just looking at that get the heck out of here andAlthough many people would say the album is more of a poppy type of album it still doesn't take away from the greatness of it.

    in my opinion, this was one of the best rap albums of 2011. every song on this CD is good or really good. Wiz Khalifa has a bright future and i hope he keeps doing what he's doing

    Not as good as his mixtapes Kush & OJ, Taylor Allerdice, or Prince of the City. Catchy hooks and bubblegum beats on club bangers like Black and Yellow, On My Level, and No Sleep. Cameras is a solid, sentimental hip hop ballad with a smooth, atmospheric instrumental. Roll Up is a memorable hip hop ballad, with romantic lyrics and a sugary, snappy instrumental.

Roll Up is a memorable hip hop ballad, with romantic lyrics and a sugary, snappy instrumental. Wiz's voice is rich on the hooks, his wordplay can be clever, and his delivery/flow is relaxed for the most part. Producers like Jim Jonsin and Stargate deliver the highpoints of production on the album. Wiz’s best album to date.… Expand

    This album is alright. I was expecting Wiz to do better, but there are a few good songs on here. I wouldn't buy the album though. I feel like Wiz is more of a mix tape artist though, he should stick to those.

    After Rolling Papers Wiz' fan base should expand significantly, as should the number of rap purists angry about his lack of rhyme skills, but complaining about his "rap" skills completely misses the point.

    If this is what we get - because this is what enough of us apparently want - the end of the music business cannot come soon enough.

    Rolling Papers may be Wiz Khalifa's studio debut and his breakthrough record, but as far as mainstream rap goes, it's far from it.
