His first attempt at committing lyrics to paper was around age nine, and at 12 he was already recording and producing his own records in his father's Oklahoma studio. After his parents divorced when he was three, he lived in various places and military bases around the world. His charm, persona, and weedy wit were in peak form from the time of his major-label debut, 2011's Rolling Papers on through 2020's slick The Saga of Wiz Khalifa.Ī military brat, Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, was born in 1987 in Minot, North Dakota.

With a series of hits built around slick rhymes and slicker production, Khalifa moved from mixtapes to stadium sports anthems and even major motion-picture soundtrack collaborations with pop star Charlie Puth. Not to say that this is at all what Wiz Khalifa was striving for, and that is totally acceptable.A perfect balance of pop hooks, effortless charm, and stoner rap swagger, Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa was one of the highest-rising stars of a certain sect of mainstream hip-hop in the 2010s. Just for anyone who first put on Section 80 and thought, damn this is a new stage in rap music don't expect the same thoughts to wash over you when you listen to Taylor Allderdice. Again, that's fine and all, and Taylor is not an unimpressive record by any means. Taylor Allderdice may be a return to his mixtape days, before âBlack N Yellow,â before he became pop-rap, and as this was obviously Wiz's aspiration, he has indeed triumphed. Rapping about weed is great and all, and fans will definitely cherish and promote this tape, but being a musician in the public eye also merits growth and innovation. Having said that, in a contemporary hip hop scene that includes trailblazers like Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky, Taylor more or less keeps in stride with what we've come to expect. Yes, it is neither a fully enjoyable listen, nor is it a âbadâ album songs like âNamelessâ and âBlindfoldsâ likely to be heard blasted via Cadillac speakers this summer. As such, when it comes down to it, Taylor Allderdice is just another rap album to get stoned to. Despite the beats, the lyrical content is also going to be analyzed. But like any musician whose found success and fame, the stakes are higher now, the criticisms harsher, and the expectations greater. The beat selection here is diverse and it sounds tight there's a Deadmau5 sample on âO.N.I.F.C.,â A$AP affiliate Spaceghostpurrp furnishes customary cloud rap with âT.A.P.,â Lex Luger rolls in with another tear-shit-down anthem.

Alongside Wiz's financial success, he's also able to afford rappers outside Chevy Woods and Smoke DZA: Juicy J (who has literally been everywhere recently, from producing for Hodgy beats to appearing on a track with A-Trak and Danny Brown) appears thrice, and so does Rick Ross.

Wiz hasn't changed much since before his fame now he just mentions his model wife-to-be Amber Rose (who sings the chorus on âNever Been Pt IIâ), and the fact that now he just happens to be filthy fucking rich. Did we mention that all ready? Mind you, this isn't necessarily a problem, as much as it is redundant and excessive. The content on Taylor Allderdice is far from surprising â which in some critics opinions may be the album's biggest woe â having to do with weed, smoking weed, rolling weed, and smoking weed. Obviously, he's not trying to be subtle here this is a return to his roots.

Now, a full year after his debut, not to mention a collaborative LP with fellow pot enthusiast Snoop Dogg, Wiz is back with what he's claimed is a return to the underground, an endowment to those who felt betrayed by him, with a free mixtape named after his high school, Taylor Allderdice. Though the album provided some of his most accessible records (âThe Race,â âStar Of The Showâ), it ultimately lead fans and critics alike to deem it âpop-rap.â It seemed that the weed-obsessed rapper had sold out. There's a certain dilemma rappers face when they finally break out of the underground, releasing mixtape after mixtape (which provides them with no financial compensation): how do you expand your newfound fanbase without neglecting the loyal supporters who were there with you from the beginning? Such was the problem that graced Pittsburgh stoner Wiz Khalifa, whose 2010 mixtape Kush N Orange Juice brought him to a whole new level in hip hop â the mainstream â and that was before he even released the Billboard topping âBlack N Yellow.âĪs a result of his newly acquired mainstream status, Wiz fans felt deceived by the new direction he was heading in with his studio debut for Atlantic, Rolling Papers. Wiz Khalifa treads familiar ground with “Taylor Allderdice”.
