Nothing is official yet from Wiz Khalifa's third LP "Blacc Hollywood," except the title. The rapper told Fuse during an interview that he's got a boatload of celebrity appearances, but none of them have been formally cleared for the final track list...yet. He listed at least two guest spots, one of which we predict will make the cut for popularity's sake, and one that will make the cut for both popularity's sake and awesomeness's sake: Miley Cyrus and Adele, respectively.
With no offense to Cyrus, booking Adele for his new album was a huge score for Khalifa. Hip-hop has been all over her for some time, with rappers such as Big Sean, Big K.R.I.T., Tyga and Trae the Truth all sampling her during previous recordings and mixtapes. Khalifa is the first to book her for an original song, and he can expect that single to go big if he chooses to release it as such. Some have suggested that hip-hop is looking to fill the hole left by Amy Winehouse with Adele, another soulful Brit.
Cyrus is always good for a hit (a hit song guys, grow up), so expect any track starring the "We Can't Stop" star to make the final cut as well. Khalifa and Cyrus already appeared together in a music video, Mike WiLL MAde It's "23." Khalifa, like everyone who's been interviewed in the last week and a half, was asked about his reaction to Cyrus's provocative twerking during the MTV Video Music Awards last weekend.
"Young, wild and free," he said to New York radio station Hot 97. "You've gotta let people do what they want to do...That's my homegirl."
If he has his way, Adele and Cyrus won't be the last pop stars on "Blacc Hollywood."
"I want to do something with Lady Gaga really bad," he says. "Lady Gaga, Wiz Khalifa need to make it happen."
