" Black and Yellow" was released as the album's lead single on September 14, 2010. Rolling Papers was released on Maby Atlantic Records and Rostrum Records, making it his first release on a major label. The following year, on February 18, 2011, Khalifa released another mixtape, Cabin Fever, in promotion for the album. On April 14, 2010, Khalifa released his eighth mixtape, Kush & Orange Juice. He also expressed a desire to get "veteran rappers" featured on the album such as 8Ball & MJG, Devin the Dude and Cam'ron, this last one being a personal friend and influence to Wiz, although none of them made an appearance on the album. Upon the album's release, the only guest appearances on the album were from Too $hort, Curren$y and Chevy Woods. Fellow Pittsburgh and Rostrum Records labelmate rapper, Mac Miller, has also confirmed working with Wiz for the album in the studio. He also confirmed via Twitter, that he had been in the studio and finished two tracks with rapper, Game, one of which will appear on Khalifa's album. In 2010, Khalifa had also toured and been in the studio with fellow rapper Yelawolf making their appearance on the album a possibility. Khalifa had confirmed that rappers Curren$y, Rick Ross, Too $hort, and Snoop Dogg would appear on the album in late January 2011. I was real keyed in on this shit when I was working on it and I didn’t use any paper, except for. I paid the most attention to this shit when I did it. I feel like this is my most natural sound. The first thing that came to my head is how I really, really feel. I write notes down, but I don’t write whole verses, so it was like saying goodbye to the paper. I stopped physically writing it down or putting it in my BlackBerry or iPhone. The third reason why I named it Rolling Papers, I quit writing a long time ago. So that’s another pair of papers that I really needed in my life and days. And I was able to walk and I was able to leave and I was able to do my thing and I was able to capitalize off that. The second reason I called it Rolling Papers is when I left Warner Bros., I sort of got my ‘rolling papers.’ I got my contract, fucking rolled up, and smoked. My career really took off when I started smoking papers. I thought of this before I even started recording the album and before it was a full idea. It’s called Rolling Papers, like the papers that you roll, the papers that I roll, the papers that we smoke. According to Wiz, there are three different meanings behind the Rolling Papers title. On January 26, 2011, Wiz announced the album's title and release date via. His first official single, " Black and Yellow", produced by Stargate, became one of the highest selling hip hop singles of 2010, eventually selling over two million digital downloads. After declining both rapper's offers, he announced that he was signing with Atlantic Records live on July 30 on MTV's "RapFix 34 Live," and confirmed that he had begun work on his debut on the label. He also came to the attention of fellow rapper Drake, who offered him the chance to co-headline his album tour. After generating buzz from the mixtape, Khalifa not only won MTV's "Hottest Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist of 2010" award, but he also became the center of a bidding war between various labels, including Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group label. Upon its release, the album received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its hooks, but criticized its subject matter.įollowing the release of his independent second album, Deal Or No Deal, Khalifa released his mixtape Kush & Orange Juice, which immediately became widely praised as one of the best hip hop mixtapes of 2010. The album has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for combined sales and album-equivalent units of two million units. Rolling Papers debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 197,000 copies in the United States. The album has been noted by music writers for having a pop rap style. Rolling Papers was supported by five singles: " Black and Yellow", " Roll Up", " On My Level", " No Sleep" and " The Race". The album features guest appearances from Too $hort, Curren$y and Chevy Woods. It is his first album under a major label after his independent releases, Show and Prove and Deal or No Deal. It was released on March 29, 2011, by Atlantic Records and Rostrum Records. Rolling Papers is the third studio album by American rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Let us find out the F.C of CaF 2 lewis structure.ĬaF 2 lewis structure has an overall Zero formal charge. The formal charge is an indicator of this stability. Lewis structure stability is based on the internal charges of an atom or molecule. The final lewis structure of the CaF 2 molecule is shown in the image below: Lewis structure of the CaF 2 CaF 2 lewis structure formal charge One electron is transferred from the central Ca atom to the two iodine atoms.It displays an incomplete octet since it is surrounded by just 4 bonding electrons.The calcium atom, which is the core atom in the CaF 2 Lewis structure, is joined to the fluorine atoms by two single bonds Ca-F.Determine the stability of octet by valence electron in CaF 2 : As CaF 2 is not a covalent compound, its particular structure can not be drawn. Fluorine on the other hand surrounds the calcium and has a negative charge. The central atom in the CaF 2 lewis structure is Calcium with a 2+ charge. The complete electron pair is determined by dividing the valence electrons on CaF 2 by 2, which is 16 / 2 = 8. By using the periodic table, it will be noted that the total valence electron in CaF 2 is 16. In this step, calculate all the valence electrons present in the CaF 2 molecule. How to draw CaF 2 lewis structure?Ī Lewis structure is a schematic representation of the valence electrons in a molecule represented by lines and dots. Below is further detail about the CaF 2 lewis structure, hybridization, the octet rule, valence electron, and several other facts. CaF 2 has a density of around 3.1g/cm 3.ĬaF 2 is solid, it is colourless and insoluble. The molar mass of the Lewis structure of CaF 2 is 78.07 g/mol. CaF 2 exists as a single transparent crystal that is white in appearance. Let us take a look at some facts about CaF 2 lewis structure in detail.Ĭalcium fluoride, also known as CaF 2, is an inorganic substance comprised of calcium and fluorine atoms. CaF 2 is a chemical compound with different properties in chemistry. They were always enlightening conversations, but I remember finding myself unsure of how to address the American Spirits’ “organic,” “natural,” and “additive-free” rhetoric with these two particular coworkers. So I would chat up coworkers who were willing to talk about their smoking. By that time I had gotten involved with tobacco control programming through my college’s health center (I’ve previously confessed to being a total nerd!) and had a mentor who reminded me often that the perspective and experience of people who smoke should always be part of tobacco control efforts. So how does this relate to American Spirits cigarettes? I remember conversations with two different coworkers about them. The most recent analysis of tobacco use among working adults shows some progress with a decrease to 25.1%, but food prep and service-related workers continue to have the second highest rate by occupation. At the time, smoking rates among food prep and service-related workers were the second highest of all occupation groups at 30% (compared to 19.6% of all working adults). I was still exposed from coworkers smoking outside at shift changes and breaks. As a result, my exposure to secondhand smoke at work decreased substantially, but not entirely. I was thrilled when the city eventually adopted a clean indoor air ordinance, and a few years later, statewide protections followed. Like most restaurants at the time, we had a smoking section, and I oftentimes was assigned to it. I started as a teen at my family’s restaurants before smoke-free workplace laws swept the nation. Her death is cited as one of the causes of the LA riots in 1992. The song is dedicated to Latasha Harlins, a fifteen-year-old woman shot and killed by a shop owner in LA. I chose Tupac Shakur’s “Keep Ya Head Up” because delivers a positive message to one of the most oppressed groups in the US: poor, black women. Rap music provides many critiques of our world, especially as they relate to race, money, gender, and forms of criminal activity. I was drawn towards choosing a rap song for this week’s ethical analysis. After changing the gender pronouns, the song seems humorous and unrealistic. For example, if we were to take David Guetta’s “Sexy Chick” (at least that’s the name of the edited version). What happens when you switch “he” and “she” pronouns in a song (this is called the Willis test)? Does it still send the same message? Usually it doesn’t due to gender differences that result from sexism and misogyny. Keep your head up, because the redemption of the world is drawing near.One can learn quite a bit about societal perceptions of gender roles through listening to music. Keep claiming your own dignity and worth. Keep striving for justice, for mercy, for righteousness. For neither of them are these words meant to be platitudes, but rather, they speak to a deep truth that even when all hope seems lost, even when you’re fed up, the only real option is to keep your head up. As Jesus looks upon a world that seems hellbent on its own destruction, where power and might are the only things that seem to actually mean anything or hold any value, it seems just as odd that he too might tell the oppressed and the downtrodden to, in the words of Tupac Shakur, “keep ya head up.” Yet, that’s exactly what Jesus does. Having come out of a world that seemed like the future was absolutely hopeless, Tupac Shakur chose to write a song about keeping your head up. Women, especially as featured in this song, were often left to raise children all on their own, either because the father was dead, could’t afford a baby, or had moved on to… less fertile pastures. The men often took to the hustle to make enough money to eat and pay the rent. The deck was still stacked against young African-Americans born into the poverty. Much later in life, and now on the other side of the continent, Tupac wrote “Keep ya head up” in a situation in which not whole lot had changed. Fed up with racial profiling and police violence, the Black Panther Party, of which Tupac’s parents were both active members, was, at times, at war with the powers-that-be. The world of East Harlem in the 1970s, the world in which Tupac was raised, was not that far removed from the vision that Jesus offers for the end times.
