Fans of Wiz's earlier mixtapes like Taylor Allderdice and Cabin Fever 2 will find this one similar in rhyme patterns and subject matter but reaching further from a production standpoint. After listening to 28 Gramsthe term "quality over quantity" automatically comes to mind. In doing so, the Pittsburgh native embraces a production style that is very in-the-moment, but it is also something we've seen him dabble with in his Cabin Fever series.
The mixtape is lengthy, but Wiz did a good job of keeping the tracks concise, with none coming in over four minutes. Mellow tracks are often followed by bass-heavy bangers and vice versa, with no real segue to sonically bridge the gap. The mixtape aptly titled 28 Grams dropped the same day May 25 that Wiz was arrested at a Texas airport for marijuana possession.
This is not to say that the mixtape doesn't have its bright spots. ReviewsWiz khalifa. Published May 27, Of weed, preferably," says Wiz unapologetically, at the end of "Aw Shit" or his first "gram," letting people know early on what the overarching theme of this project will be.

Last week, when Wiz Khalifa announced he would be releasing a mixtape during his performance at the Hangout Festival, he said it would be dropping fast.
While 28 Grams shows flashes of versatility, it lacks any kind of consistency. On top of that, too much of Wiz can be tiresome.
Wiz also could have done without so much Auto-Tune, which is featured on roughly half of the 28 songs in mostly the same way that has been inundating hip hop airwaves for the past two years.

There are moments on the tape where Wiz sounds as if he's been rapping on trap beats forever, the infectious jam "James Bong," being one of the best examples of this. Written by Jake Rohn. With Wiz Khalifa's much publicized recent arrest, and subsequent jail selfie in Texas this past month for marijuana possession, one can argue there wasn't a more opportune time for him to drop his latest project, entitled 28 Grams.
If his rhymes are any indication of how he lives, Wiz still loves to have a good time. It is extremely unrealistic to expect a project at this length from any artist to be filled with quality songs from top to bottom.

As a result of the trap-centric nature of the project, and the somewhat lack of variety as it pertains miixtape subject matter on Wiz Khalifa's account, what began as novelty at the beginning of the tape, may turn into a bit of a nuisance towards the end of the khalifq for the listener. There will inevitably be some "throwaway songs" in the mix. The issue that arises as one plays track after track on the nearly hour and a half mixtape, is that, after a while, each song begins to lose its distinctness, leading to a bit of listener fatigue.

It is had to resist the thought that if only the song count were trimmed down a bit, to create a much more tight, concise, and focused project, maybe then the Taylor Gang leader could've delivered a couple dimes of that "loud," as opposed to some less potent hitters.
On "Pure," the rapper even gets his Snoop Lion on, grzms and singing with an island dialect.
