Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
2018 - a bloated and expensive version of the rap he’s always made but without that signature effortlessness
-
Hot New Hip Hop
2018 - ample music for die hard Wiz fans to absorb
-
The 405
2018 - Khalifa himself peppers in some of the best songs he’s ever put on wax.
-
Hip Hop DX
2018 - the upside to his ridiculously long recent effort is it’s stacked with a host of stellar tracks for virtually every leisure activity underneath a stoner’s sun
-
UPROXX
2018 - A collection of good to great songs which mostly stick to Wiz’s winning formula
-
XXL Magazine
2018 - an admirable effort that shows growth in a creative evolution that gives hope that his best could still be ahead of him
-
Glide Magazine
2018 - It’s probably Khalifa’s best album since his prequel Rolling Papers which was released back in 2011.
-
The Musical Hype
2018 - a pleasant surprise – a much better album than anticipated. There are plenty of songs worth revisiting.
-
Arena
2018 - there’s not nearly enough bops or enough insight to justify its feature-film-length runtime
-
Immortal Reviews
2018 - Wiz Khalifa continues to show his lack of sense in Rolling Papers 2 as he relies on the wrong people and subjects to make a splash.
-
All Music
feels like an awkward mixtape (or two) without much to say and too stoned to realize it's been rambling
-
Culture Kings
2018 - The album is a simple one that doesn't attempt to be anything more than what it is, which is refreshing in this day and age of rap music. Wiz Khalifa has proven once again that he can make a good album, enough said.
-
Ratings Game Music
2018 - You get passion from him, you get some of his best bars and some pretty explosive records. I think the album is good enough to be considered one of his best
-
The Fresh Committee
2018 - Albums such as Rolling Papers 2 are utterly superfluous. Who wants to hear Wiz rap the exact same way about the exact same topics for an hour and a half?
-
Thirst Key
2018 - it’s kind of a chore to get through with only a handful of truly entertaining moments
-
Ben's Beat
2018 - it’s quite the chore to get through at times despite the moments where he does what he does best and gives us these endearingly goofy and fun rap tracks, but Khalifa’s adherence to trends that don’t fit him here bring the project way down
-
Hot Pop Today
2018 - the album is not good or bad and can pass as mediocre. We know Wiz can do better.
-
Lowkey
2018 - this is a very Wiz Khalifa album, and we love it
-
No Gossip LA
There is a clear distinction between “old” Wiz and new Wiz Khakifa, and on Rolling Papers 2 Wiz was able to cater to both.
-
Surviving The Golden Age
2018 - So, this album had to have something to it to make him worth the time. But it doesn’t. There’s nothing unique here.
-
Medium
2018 - what Khalifa brings is arguably his best studio album since Deal or No Deal almost a decade ago, and his first real opportunity to put the nagging cliche in the ashtray
-
Stereo Board
2018 - it all feels unconvincing and fails to establish a new direction for an artist who now appears to be talented but lacking in creative ambition
