Wiz is a pop star, though, whether he likes it or not. вЂњIвЂ™ll pop up and make five million dollarsвЂќ he quips, when asked if heвЂ™s вЂњpop rapвЂќ by his interviewer. He distances himself a little from his extremely wimpy Rolling Papers album, which was successfully aimed at teenage girls and made almost everybody else (including long-time fans) puke into their Rizlas. Taylor Allderdice is such a popular mixtape, in fact, that Dat Piff was momentarily nuked by it upon its release, prompting a thousand suburban Brick Squad devotees to attempt suicide. Of course, Wiz has the advantage of actually being rich вЂ“ his 2010 single вЂBlack and YellowвЂ™ shot him into the musical fuckoffosphere, helping to turn him into a bona fide rap pop star, complete with ridiculous blonde-streaked haircut and celebrity girlfriend (model Amber Rose, who contributes an inane hook or two to this mixtape). WizвЂ™s good mate (and much better lyricist) Curren$y is a man who has 1000 ways to say вЂњIвЂ™m stoned and richвЂќ. Unfortunately he doesnвЂ™t have an interesting way of saying these boring things, either. He shares this in common with approximately 95% of rappers, many of who are equally as infatuated with weed and money. Wiz, in fact, doesnвЂ™t really have anything interesting to say. If anyone was ever unsure of this fact (they werenвЂ™t), then 17 tracks of Wiz endlessly, monotonously going on about smoking weed and making money should put all speculation to rest. Because all Wiz really wants to do, as it turns out, is smoke loads of weed and make loads of money. This lack of ambition (and lack of manners), this fundamental вЂgive a shitвЂ™-ness, is of course what constitutes WizвЂ™s dull-as-chips ice-cool. IвЂ™m bitterly disappointed to report that Wiz at no point shits himself, masturbates or mounts a German Shepard on Taylor Allderdice, but then heвЂ™s not all that ambitious. вЂњTaylor Ideology, homieвЂќ he whispers, and the engineer is almost moved to tears by the Wizdom. Wiz grabs the engineerвЂ™s wrist, and shakes his head, sagely. The engineer turns to him, his eyebrows raised quizzically, his hand reaching for the mouse to cut this piece of flatulence out. You can imagine him listening back to this in the studio. Perhaps Wiz is saying that, in a Godless universe, there is no real reason to restrain your desires and instincts? After all, thereвЂ™s one snippet on Taylor Allderdice where Wiz lets out a big belch in the middle of an answer before carrying on. The вЂTaylor IdeologyвЂ™, as it turns out, basically means вЂdoing what you want to doвЂ™. Khalifa takes a deep breath вЂ“ not largely composed of oxygen, one assumes вЂ“ and explains. In one of the short snippets of interview footage that serve as fluffer material inbetween tracks here, Wiz is asked to explain the вЂTaylor IdeologyвЂ™ (Taylor Gang is his group/clothing line/вЂ™ideologyвЂ™). The funniest thing he says on Taylor Allderdice is entirely unintentionally funny вЂ“ is entirely serious, in fact. Though, as a bona fide stoner bonehead, Pittsburgh native Wiz Khalifa often giggles to himself as if heвЂ™s just watched Harold and Kumar mistaking a dog poo for a Hershey bar, heвЂ™s rarely intentionally funny.
