Grade: B-
After his split with Warner Bros., Whiz Khalifa proved to the hip-hop world he was the real deal with his smash hit “Black and Yellow.” With the release of “Rolling Papers,” Khalifa further proves his talent in the hip-hop game. While the album itself isn’t particularly ground breaking, it show’s Khalifa’s musical chops despite being lyrically limited to shiny cars and fast women. Plenty of songs on the album reference marijuana, and the strength of this release solidifies Khalifa’s place among other famous herb loving rappers like Snoop Dogg and Kid Cudi.
