Umpire says:
And this basically sums up exactly how little a modern musician’s career has to do with actually making good music. Possibly his worst work ever, but definitely his best promotion.
TreeFingers says:
gold = the new platinum
King says:
Yeah Gold plaque for a fucked up album…..Fuck this nigga
Dreezy says:
Guess weed does sell albums.
Dre says:
How is it his worst? It’s his best album to date… It’s like fans could never compromise with a rapper.look at music from there standpoint and stop critiquing everything…he successful now a real wiz fan would be happy for him instead hitting on him like it’s his worst shit hen really it’s all in your head..sane shit same formula that made you love him in thr first place…fuckboys
M.T says:

Jordan Cohen says:
Um, I don’t see Amber in ANY of those pics. Proud moment, where’s ya boo?
Jordan Cohen says:
I mean, its not like she has a JOB or anything. Where does SHE HAVE to be?
MP says:
Finding rap gems is like finding “a needle in a haystack”. Too much brainwashing bullshit like this sells in abundance! (Except Eminem..lol) Can’t knock the hustle (cuz that’s what these fans are, fiends; buying any garbage that gets em high for a little) though, congrats Wiz.
Marshall says:
Well deserved.
I’m joking, sorry.
@Dre says:
REAL Wiz fans know his best album was Show and Prove, and his best tapes were BAR and KxOJ.
Bandwagoning Amber Roses were the only ones fuckin with Rolling Papers. And I say WERE, cuz nobody’s fuckin with that shit anymore.
CONGRATULATIONS TO WIZ KHALIFA boi…..this was a LONG road…but if someone was gonna put our city Pittsburgh on the map…..it had to be him and he did it. Gold in this climate is next to impossible…..you don’t gotta deck it but you gotta respeck it……

It taught me a lesson? dl first bc these@crackas up top know that shit was WACK but they know who their target consumers are? Look@Lasers? Atlantic is hippop capital and I want be buying any lp with their stamp on it

The album wasn’t a classic by any means, but I liked it. Wiz has worked his ass off to get to where he is, unlike a lot of you, I won’t hate on another man reaching success. Not everyone can go platinum nowadays, so gold is pretty good. He still got a platinum single though, congrats to Wiz
