Here he attempts to go back to his roots and create something with cooler-side appeal. Taylor Allderdice is Khalifa’s apology to the disappointed, the haters of Rolling Papers. Rolling Papers was a pop-rap album and with its success nearly all of Khalifa’s underground credibility garnered from Kush & Orange Juice had disappeared. While the album was a commercial success with hits like “Black & Yellow” and “On My Level” many fans hated how mainstream it was. After he signed to Atlantic and released his first official LP Rolling Papers many fans were divided. Khalifa gained recognition for his flow and delivery on his early mixtapes, specifically Kush & Orange Juice. This is what Snoop has been doing his whole career and what Wiz is hoping his career will look like. The entire soundtrack/film is about smoking weed, yet Snoop and Wiz don’t get stale they continually find ways to keep marijuana fresh. The two are actually friends in real life, recently collaborating on the soundtrack for the film Mac & Devin Go To High School that the duo also stars in. Wiz Khalifa raps about smoking weed so much it is like he is aiming to be the next Snoop Dogg.
