It certainly has more to offer than that, though itвЂ™s not as ambitious as Eternal Atake.

The World 2? You could say that best thing about it is that it doesnвЂ™t fall under theВ вЂњvictory lapвЂќ orВ вЂњfun but didnвЂ™t really need to existвЂќ category. AndВ вЂњP2вЂі is a worthy successor to вЂњXO TOUR Llif3вЂі replicating the flow of the song and even sampling it, Uzi waxes about his substance abuse issues and issues with his ex, a rare moment of clarity at the end of a somewhat exhausting record.ДЄs for Lil Uzi Vert vs. (вЂњIвЂ™m an iPod, man, you more like a Zune.вЂќ)В вЂњThat WayвЂќ, the other bonus track, interpolates one of the Backstreet BoysвЂ™ biggest hits. HeвЂ™s infectious onВ вЂњSilly WatchвЂќ:В вЂњGot a Richard Mille, this is not a silly watch / All this money make me wanвЂ™ hit my Diddy Bop.вЂќВ вЂњYou Better MoveвЂќ is certainly a highlight, centering around a sample of Space Cadet Pinball, Uzi hurling insults based off technology few remember. ItвЂ™s clear that Uzi, if anything, has a great memory, and a limitless supply of images from which to pull, so itвЂ™s no surprise his wordplay is most effective when he takes from the obscurities of his childhood or YouTube wormholes, and his life experiences. ItвЂ™s moments like these, whether nonsensical, misinformed, or cliche, that you wished he had used a page as an intermediary. (It also ignorantly follows the only feature on the album, the brilliant Syd-assisted pop ofВ вЂњUrgencyвЂќ, from a gay woman.) OnВ вЂњFutsal Shuffle 2020вЂі, a bonus track, he raps,В вЂњI had a cougar with me, so I call that girl Coretta,вЂќ either incorrectly thinking that Coretta Scott King was a black panther or being #sorandom. It reeks of Tyler, the CreatorвЂ™s early shock jock personality that heвЂ™s now all-but abandoned. But claiming he can turn a gay girl straight onВ вЂњVenetiaвЂќ is another. Immaturely lamenting girls for only liking him for his fame onВ вЂњBust MeвЂќ is forgivable, and so is bragging about watches, bags, money, and guns theyвЂ™ve been done before. Uzi inhabits the uglier sides of Pluto, previewing the third character, named simply Uzi, who isnвЂ™t so different from Pluto. Unfortunately, this section is also where the momentum generally stalls. What stands out here, for the most part, is the production: the gentle guitar noodling and gospel vocal samples onВ вЂњBigger Than LifeвЂќ and the soulful R&B-meets-drill of Chief KeefвЂ™sВ вЂњChrome Heart TagsвЂќ are the two best-sounding tracks on the record. OnВ вЂњIвЂ™m SorryвЂќ, he apologizes to an ex for his behavior, cooing with auto-tune over a playful arpeggio beat. Uzi occasionally shines on the Renji section of Eternal Atake, a character supposed to represent his sweeter side. And onВ вЂњHomecomingвЂќ, he goes so hard trying to outdo Bugz RoninвЂ™s interweaving bass beats that heвЂ™s hoarse by the end, a visceral display of dominance.

OnВ вЂњLo MeinвЂќ, heвЂ™s more melodic among washes of spacey production.В вЂњPOPвЂќ is perhaps most impressive, with Uzi rapping off-beat and adlibbing, at one point repeatingВ вЂњBalenciвЂќ more times than Jeff Tweedy screamsВ вЂњNothingвЂќ at the end ofВ вЂњMisunderstoodвЂќ, evoking the mania required to shop for loads of expensive shit more than if he were to narrate his binge.

On openerВ вЂњBaby PlutoвЂќ (the introduction to the first third of Eternal Atake, where Uzi inhabits his superego alter ego Baby Pluto), he fills the space between cascading chimes with his forceful, driving bars. Indeed, UziвЂ™s production style-adaptive rapping is far better than his lyricism. Where Uzi excels unlike any other rapper is in his head, a tornado of emotion and cultural milieu, and how heвЂ™s able to skip the page and put it out in the open at the drop of a pin. Sure, Kendrick Lamar covered the personified braggadocio in a more interesting and complex way inВ вЂњBackseat FreestyleвЂќ than Uzi has in his entire catalog, but LamarвЂ™s an unfair comparison. But at least the first comes close, and on both, the highs have never been higher. The same goes for the long-awaited Luv Is Rage 2 follow-up Eternal Atake, and especially its bonus album Lil Uzi Vert vs. While tracks likeВ вЂњXO TOUR Llif3вЂі, the Pharrell-assistedВ вЂњNeon GutsвЂќ, and last yearвЂ™sВ вЂњFree UziвЂќ show him at the top of his powers, heвЂ™s never been able to sustain the momentum across an entire record. Lil Uzi Vert has always been a singles rapper. Lil Uzi Vert Album Review: Eternal Atake/LUV vs.
