īy the age of 15 he was regularly recording his music in a studio called I.D. Khalifa stated to that the name also came from being called "young Wiz 'cause I was good at everything I did, and my granddad is Muslim, so he gave me that name he felt like that's what I was doing with my music." He got a tattoo of his stage name on his 17th birthday. His stage name is derived from Khalifa, an Arabic word meaning "successor", and wisdom, which was shortened to Wiz when Khalifa was a young boy. Soon after moving to Pittsburgh, Khalifa began to write and perform his own lyrics before he was a teenager. Khalifa lived in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan before settling in Pittsburgh with his mother in around 1996 where he attended Taylor Allderdice High School.

"When I'm Gone" found Khalifa trying to sing, and songs like "On My Level" sounded cumbersome, with Khalifa straining to sound like a club rapper over the track's gritty, instrumental, ("Gin got my drunk as f*ck stumbling out the bar/Plus I'm struggling tryna find the keys to my car/ 'Cause I be going hard.") Khalifa was suddenly an aspiring mainstream act, a potential pop-rap sell-out and the effort was panned by his loyal fans and even the emcee himself at one point.Cameron Jibril Thomaz (born September 8, 1987), better known by his stage name Wiz Khalifa, is an American rapper. The emcee's hotly-anticipated debut album Rolling Papers was rigid, uneven, and curated for frat parties more than wake and bake's. Where his mixtapes thrived in their cruise-control chilled-out vibes, Wiz Khalifa's albums have always suffered from a strange stiffness he's never been able to escape. His bars were never steeped in metaphor or even necessarily clever, ("Groupies wanna leave the club wit' me/Ain't nothin' to a G'/Let your hair blow in the breeze/ Roll some bomb-a** weed,") but gliding instrumentals and a splash of melody made his discography the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon smoke sesh in the 2010s. On his earlier efforts, the Pittsburgh emcee's breezy attitude and malleable delivery made him a perfect poster child for weed rap. Wiz Khalifa's albums have never been as good as his mixtapes.
