The ever so eccentric rapper, Wiz Khalifa has released his fifth solo album titled “Blacc Hollywood”.

This past spring, one of rap’s top M.C.s scored a club banging hit with “We Dem Boyz,” a street anthem unlike anything he’s ever done before. It was a pleasant change-up in style. But the rest of Khalifa’s fifth solo album sticks closely to his usual style: supremely chill head bobbing flows about how much Wiz loves to get high.

Now 26 years old, Khalifa has reached an interesting stage in his career. It’s his fifth solo studio album, and while he is most known for his third album Rolling Papers and its hit song “Black And Yellow,” Khalifa is still very much a contender in the music world . The rapper has now evolved into a 21st century Snoop Dogg and a well-established figure in Hip- Hop. Khalifa is married with a child, yet he still has to keep producing these tired, corny, weed themed anthems he is known for. I cannot help but think it is forced at times. The content of the songs lack the passion and lyrical content that he once gave us.

M.T. Richards of Vibe magazine said “Khalifa’s ‘Blacc Hollywood’ album does the bare minimum.”

The album has received several bad reviews. Fans are crying out this is not the Khalifa that brought us classic albums like “Rolling Papers” and “Cabin Fever”. He is missing his old flow and needs to revisit his 2006 true “Pittsburgh Sound.” Khalifa was a whole other kid at that time. His loose-fitting black tees were, by today’s standards, baggy, and he had yet to adopt skateboarding as a new hobby. On “Pittsburgh Sound,” you can even hear traces of Juelz Santana and an underground sound in his flow.

“Blacc Hollywood” has 15 tracks headlined by “We Dem Boyz” and “KK” which features another one of the games top rapper in Juicy J.

This is not a album I would recommend people to go crazy over and buy off iTunes. It only has a few songs worth listening to. Khalifa is not the same anymore, he is lost in a world where all his music content sounds the same.

So in all, “Blacc Hollywood” was a disappointment. It seriously lacked lyrical content and has far too many songs that are poor versions of wannabe party anthems. As a Khalifa supporter, please get back to the classic you brought us when you first hit the scene. We miss that Pittsburgh sound.

Album Grade: B-
