Blacc Hollywood could be worse or lazier or just plain longer, but Wiz is a master of half-assed hedging. Mostly though, this album is too-crisp cloud rap (“Promises,” “House On the Hills”) and diet, caffeine-free trap that gets the signifiers right but has no actual snarl (“We Dem Boyz,” “Kk,” “Raw”). This creed-essentially an empowering “this black male made it out and you can too”-hovers in the background for the rest of the record and steps forward here and there (particularly on “Still Down”), suggesting an undercooked take on Kanye’s knotty personal-is-political-is-personal-again rhetoric. There’s a line about how Wiz has made it to the top and how that matters as an example to others, another about how he’s worked so hard, and this is all buttressed by Blacc Hollywood beginning with some ponderous spoken word, the now de rigueur hip-hop mission statement. The best moments of Blacc Hollywood are the aforementioned cloying club tracks, whereas everything else is lukewarm. He’s almost impressively middle-of-the-road, which is how you’d described the nasally street-nerditry of Too $hort and other regional heroes who are Wiz’s biggest influence, the rappers whose shtick he picked up, smoothed out, and delivered to the white hat-wearers on hip-hop fandom’s periphery. But while he rarely excels, Wiz doesn’t do anything all that poorly, either. ridiculousness of “Staying Out All Night” and Cameo-meets-Gym Class Heroes dork-crooning of “True Colors,” this record kind of goes. His music isn’t challenging, he isn’t all that compelling, and he hasn’t even fully committed himself to being a mainstream party rapper, which he can actually pull off: On the M83-meets-fun. So yeah girl, “Do something,” anything it would seem. No, Wiz is slacking, fumbling the template that should’ve been declared dead when Miley shucked and jived her way into the twerk conversation. “Do something for a nigga.” Something? Something! He can’t even be bothered to be the kind of misogynist aesthete that dominates edgy rap right now, the guy that implores a woman to arch her back like a Picasso or whatever these played out songs think they’re saying. “Do something for a boss,” demands the twerpy stoner star. It’s called “Ass Drop” and it’s a sub-Drake, quasi-Ty$, twerk-pop track that pops up about halfway through the record. Let’s start with the nadir of Wiz Khalifa’s maddeningly “meh” Blacc Hollywood.
