Wiz Khalifa - Roll Up
Producer: Stargate
Album: Rolling Papers
Label: Rostrum/Atlantic/RRP
Sure a rapper has a loyal fanbase, but can they reach people across the musical spectrum? It’s called crossover appeal, and after Black & Yellow pretty much set the world on fire, Wiz Khalifa didn’t necessarily need to reach extra hard for radio attention. Yet, the second single, Roll Up, from his major label debut album, is about as big of a reach for the mainstream as you’ll hear. While Stargate’s production runs on the standard airy pop mechanics, Wiz essentially dances around the beat, sounding at times more like a generic pop singer than a man who flipped a banger of a beat into one of the top five songs in the country. Indeed, the track’s subject matter is for the ladies (and shockingly not really about weed) but none of Wiz’s sweet talk runs as smoothly as his previous odes to the fairer sex have. While it may be too sugary sweet for most of the male Taylor Gang members, expect the females to eat this up from the DJBooth Freestyle alum. Khalifa’s Atlantic Records debut Rolling Papers hits stores on March 29. Only time will tell how far Wiz can reach.

I can REALLY see this blasting the radio well. Easy Top 40 smash. Might do even better if B&Y hits number-one. Stargate is Wiz's new best friend.

"Roll Up" is a song that you tell all your friends you absolutely, positively cannot stand, but that you find yourself humming later in the day. I would be shocked if this record didn't make just as large an impact on the charts (hell, it was made just for the radio) as "Black and Yellow" and in half the time, too.

Black & Yellow might have been the lauching point in Wiz's career, flying to "hit planet", and leaving, his days of flying under the radar behind. If he keeps putting out quality, catchy, radio-friendly songs like this good things are in store for Wiz.

The hook goes beyond catchy and borders straight up cheesy. That been said, this has solid radio appeal and should climb the charts with ease

I like this song for the simple fact that I have been waiting for Wiz to blow up. I listened to Wiz on Tracks like 'Lifted' and 'Poppin Rubberbands' and 'Be Easy'. Then I heard his sound change on 'This Plane' and 'The Thrill'. Now, I'm hearing the 'Radio' Wiz, and its nice to see the nation feel his appeal. 412, I hope this blows up, but I hope the album isn't so radio-oriented

This track is pretty cool. I think the production is nice and smooth. Wiz was decent on here lyrically. Still hope the album has a few more Bangers, but this can go into rotation easy. I'm feelin it.

Let's get right to the point.: This will be a huge hit for Wiz. And for the record, I'm in full support. An absolute PERFECT sound for his second single, from the amazing Stargate production to the chill flow Wiz takes on here. This will hit the charts immediately, and once the warm weather comes around this will be playing everywhere, from the car with the windows down to your local house party.

As I've written elsewhere, I think this is a smart move for Wiz - radio will eat this up, and getting the ladies on board is crucial if you want a smash album.
With that said, on a personal level there's a reason I don't listen to the radio, and I don't be listening to this again. It's really just a shade off the formulaic pop we hear everywhere - this could have come from almost anyone.

I like it more with each listen. Nothing groundbreaking, but im guessing that wasnt what Wiz wanted. He just wants a hit, & i guess he will get just that.

Cant hate the man for hustling out them raido tunes. He needs to get paid and keep the label happy. He dont wanna to be one of them broke rappers saying he kept it real.
That aside, its just an ok tune. |

I agree, smart move to give the people what they want. A follow up pop record to smash the radio and charts. In other news, I personally enjoyed this song.

Not what you would usually expect by WIZ but by no means disappointing. He's playing his cards well.

Stargate's bass drums are excellent but I wonder how many top 10 hits they can have with the same sounds.
Wiz does a great job just doing his thing. This should hit - a inevitable successor to Nelly's "Just a Dream" on the charts. |

Decent. Wiz certainly has better stuff out there. An obvious radio track, but I doubt it will have the success of Black & Yellow.
