During a Ustream, Wiz told fans that the album title is not only inspired by his affinity for smoking weed, but that "it's deeper than that too... it's not just about the weed thing. It's bigger than that," he said. "My career really took off when I started smoking papers."

 

Wiz also explained that the album's title refers to him being able to get off his contract with Warner Bros. ("I sort of got my 'rolling papers'... and I was able to leave and I was able to do my thing likens to "saying goodbye to the paper."

 

Rick Ross, Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Curren$y are said to make appearances on the album. A tracklist and album cover are scheduled to be revealed in coming weeks.
