Not quite a one-hit wonder yet…

Jer Fairall: As a 21st century “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” this is actually kinda cute, keeping in mind that “cute” is the faintest praise possible that can be heaped on anything that isn’t a puppy.

Chuck Eddy: Uh oh…After the ebullience of “Black And Yellow,” which I loved even more once I got how it was about Pittsburgh, this sounds like as rote a radio r&b move as what the New Boyz and Nicki Minaj started putting on singles around the time of their breakthrough albums. I’m rooting for this kid, think he has real potential. But this does not bode well for Rolling Papers at all.

Anthony Easton: Sweeter and more earnest than most of this genre, and he seems genuinely interested in being this woman’s friend, though the whole narrative of trading her like a possession as part of an aspirational arsenal continues to be problematic

Josh Langhoff: It’s got those “True Colors” chords, so it’d be a [9] if he didn’t fall into the love-rap trap of leaving a bunch of nothing lines hanging out to dry. Rhythmic interest is confined to that syncopated “you ain’t entertained” sequence that ends Verse 1. Lyrical interest is confined to the trickle-down bling hogwash “If I ball then we all gon’ stunt”, which Mitt Romney should adopt as a campaign slogan.

Alfred Soto: I was prepared to inflate the grade based on the novelty of an up and comer pledging his troth with Bieber-esque ardor, but I couldn’t get past Wiz’s voice failing to generate much tension between it and the woodblock percussion.

Martin Skidmore: It’s sort of pleasant, but I don’t think so much of his performance, when singing or rapping, and the music is kind of dull.

Zach Lyon: So mysterious! Does Wiz like to poke out the little shapes, even though they never really sever correctly and they just end up stretching and then they cover your fingers in sticky dye? Did he just unwrap them and roll them back up and eat it like beef jerky? Decadent, I know, but I did the same thing with Fruit by the Foot, and that’s infinitely more disgusting. Does Wiz, too, question the usage of “fruit” in the name of products that feature absolutely no fruit or even fruit flavoring? Does Wiz also blame his weight on this corporate deception? Munchies songs are so complex!
