Well that album cover looked like it was made in PAINT for one & your a rapper. You don't even remind me of a rapper with that cover. And that's all....

I mean you gotta realize something about the game. The reason nikkas in the 70's and the 80's got a pass for looking like space aliens was cus they was actually pimpin ho's and doin hi-powered drugs that most squares couldn't even afford.

Far as anybody know this nikka Wiz is fukkin Amber Rose some shyt YOU can't afford. :youngsabo:

As long as you know who YOU are inside you can play the game. :hmm: :shaq:

It's entertainment. The real problem in society is the Homies over Hoes closeted Gangstalicious type nikkas that swear they brolic and secretly hugged up with nikkas spreading that monster to unsuspectful women that don't know they Victoria Secret Pink on the DL.

Wiz lookin pretty SUSS on that cover but in the larger scheme of the music biz he's just being creative. We just lost our appreciation for that side of things when the recession hit and survival mode kicked in. Nobody gave a lazy fukk when 3000 was doin that wild shyt back in the Stankonia era, cause nikkas was :eat:

Think about it.

Don't even try to spin this.


Spin what?

And who the fukk are you supposed to be telling me what I can and cant do?

I cant believe one little album cover offends your sensibilities like that, you lot are very squeamish and shook, some of you need to be punched in the chest.

And the cover is obviously a throwback.

This is actually a good point. Look at end of the day it's music, no matter what album cover he has, if you don't like him you aren't buying his music anyway and if you are a real fan, this shouldn't change things. Look dude went for a different type of look that he was feeling at the moment and it clearly worked you have 4 or 5 threads dedicated to how 'gay' his album cover is.

Wiz ultimately won :yeshrug:

John Hull I feel u, just seems kinda forced/not him

U gotta admit, dude has changed a bit since he got with Amber... not to say dudes shouldn't change when they get with somebody, but it seems like she is trying to mold him in the way Yeezly molded her

As far as all attention being good attention, no

When everyone was saying how terrible Lasers was, I dont think Lupe was happy, that didnt help him

When everybody was looking at 40 Glocc (check him out yall) pretending to be a shrub amongst shrubs, I dont think 40 was happy, that didn't help him

When Ras Kass's response to Game went viral, he wasn't happy, he was the first person I know to successfully remove a video from the internet

So Im not buyin that "Wiz is winning cause yall are talking about him" talk. Id rather be getting money than attention :mjpls:

IDukes have not heard his music and are basically hating on his whole movement based on him dressing crazy for an album cover.
I wonder what cats would say if Kane, ODB and legends like that came in the game today.

i agree.......along with ANDRE 3000

i mean we have to realize at the end of the day DUDE is an ARTIST..

And entertainment is about VISUALS as well as AUDIO

George Clinton, Earth Wind and Fire and Rick James all dressed "wild"....and thier wasn't anything GAY about them

it was about ENTERTAINING PEOPLE

AFRIKA BAMBATTA and COLD CRUSH and FLASH did the same thing

so hip hop shouldn't be any different...

it gets BORING and makes it seem like "anybody can do this" if your 'STAR" looks and dresses like you and your weed connect all the time

Yeah that's what I'm saying, but I can partially understand the criticism.
Cause it doesn't really feel authentic or natural as the ones who came before him, but then again I've not really been paying too much attention to his movement and basically just his music. That's why I can't say anything bad about it.

Yea... theres a big diff between Wiz Khalifa... and EWF :comeon:

Those dudes dressed wild to add to the experience of excellent music + live performances

This dude is dressing wild in the hopes of it being a gimmick that sticks... and covers up his weak disc

His last album.... :dead: This shyt is an attn grab.... "Im different now, this wont be like my last disc I promise"

yeah..it does look "abrupt' and "contrived" on his part...

but growth is growth and i'm all for somebody doing something different...

hell ANDRE 3000 went from rocking jerseys and riding around in Lacs to wearing kilts and wigs......and it was reflected in his music as well...

so maybe it's just a case of Wiz trying to add on to his artistic development

but i think it also reflects the direction of his music...

WIZ music has been sounding very POPish lately.....

so he might can pull this off

and i say why not :smugdraper:

it's not like he's the 'TRAPPER OF THE YEAR"..or "BOSS RAPPER" type of character.......

he ain't trying to be in that lane..i think dude really just wants to give people an entertaining experience....

and you got too many so-called REAL NICCA BLOGGERS and SUPER THUG THREADPOSTERS not WILLING TO ALLOW him or any other ARTIST for that matter to that......

sometimes you gotta say FUKK A STREET CRED and just ENJOY THE MUSIC

Dude. I have some of those albums that you listed on your last post.

I know the difference between what a real talent is and what a gimmick is.

Obviously, you don't, but to each is own.

At the top.
The whole thing with the Wiz cover is that it seemed forced, kinda like the content from his first album. Like some said, he be going from looking like a rapper to some wannabe Rick James shyt. I swear he trolling and doing this for the shock value

Didn't his album get pushed back?:sadcam:

i'd rather WIZ put on some FUNNY CLOTHES and experiement with his sounds then to do something really GIMMICKY such as getting caught with BRICKS on his tour bus or going out of his way to DISS another artist just for publicity..... i'm all for it....cause at the END OF THE DAY...

WIZ AIN'T GONNA HURT NOBODY BUT HIMSELF from a marketing standpoint....and THAT'S THE RISK HE'S WILLING TO TAKE and I RESPECT HIM FOR THAT....

it's a BUSINESS.....and the most important aspect of maintaining a BRAND is to ADAPT or display some GROWTH.....

Plus who knows...this could turn into something promising for him and his career.......only TIME WILL TELL

Is worse than this:

:stopitslime:


lol word...drake does look like a brooding little teenage girl but he's sitting around gold with a golden chalice...but that's the same as wiz khalifa's cruella deville ass coat and thin lizzy pants...okay



It has nothing to do with how lame the cover actually is...it's how transparently forced and fake his new "image" is. And artistic development?....can you show me his music that reflects this new artistic development because i still heare "i flying private sipping champagne smokin zones fukkin yo bytch"
