For example: on When U Find, “I need you like a weed stick/Life without you is like Kelly no Regis,” and on Great To Be Here, “I am always spaced out like Elroy/And my bill faces big like Hellboy” but more often than not he falls face first in the dirt lyrically. But he ends so badly it will make you swear aloud sometimes. Throughout the entire mixtape, you feel as if a good punchline is coming up. Wiz Khalifa apparently has a love of being a trap door rapper. Nowadays, diversity in albums is widely demanded by fans of all musical genres, but indiscernible diversity is not. He even, on occasion, talks about love and life. He gets his gangsta on in some tracks, but then turns around and talks about the high quality of his life and money. He autotunes on If I Were a Lame, but then disses T-Pain on Say U Will he disses mainstream rappers, but then samples Best I Ever Had by Drake on Ode To Naked Pop Stars. He contradicts himself and confuses listeners. He’s uncategorized, just floating adrift waiting for some subgenre of rap to claim him. Wiz Khalifa is not mainstream, but he’s not alternative either…or gangsta for that matter. I’d download single tracks off of this mixtape, but not the whole mixtape. Then I have to wade through another two bad songs to get to a good song, When U Find. For example: The first good song is Take Yo Bitch, but then I have to wade through six decent to bad ones to get to the next good song, Young Khalifa. It’s just a bunch of songs that are bad because (at least) one aspect of the song strung along with the occasional good song few and far between. Wiz Khalifa has a good flow, with the occasional bump in the road he has a good voice unless he autotunes or sings which occurs once or twice his lyrics are bland more often than not, but have their ups and downs on the meter and the beats are usually above average with the occasional misfire and the occasional masterpiece. This is just like a typical, everyday, fully-funded rap album you’d see on iTunes. B.A.R was highly anticipated and garnered 15,000+ listens and 1,000+ downloads almost a full 24 hours after it was released. In his attempt to garner his highest fan following yet, Wiz Khalifa presents Burn After Rolling. This is his last official mixtape, before the supposed 2009 release of Deal or No Deal. Lots of people have proclaimed him to have potential, but one official album and seven official mixtapes into his career (Since 2005) he’s never really arrived as a rapper. In 2008, he gained urban radio play with his hit single Say Yeah. Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa has been on the scene for awhile, releasing his debut album Show and Prove in 2006. More often than not, Wiz Khalifa trips over the idea of having good beats to accompany his nice voice and good flow and falls flat on his face lyrically. Review Summary: B.A.R was a highly anticipated mixtape put out by Wiz Khalifa.
