What's up? Stooey is in Philly. What you want to say, Stuie? Oh, bitch, Slay. You know? Oh, man. You got this fake-ass crapper on there, dude. You're crazy.

Ah, come on, Sto. Get out of here, man. That was mean. Let me live. Okay. Let a young girl live. Yeah, man. Let Uzi live, man.

That shit is fucking trash. Don't get the fuck off the airway. Oh, come on. Dang. Rob in Miami, what you want to say? Come on. Yeah, I just wanted to give a little debt props, man. Thank you.

Yeah. Give a Uzi props. Everybody likes love. Yeah, I like their Fendi Fendi Prada song. No, that's not me. Oh, he didn't got the artist wrong. Who would have thunk? Anyways, of course, that was the legend, the infamous clip from John from Tennessee as far as sway.

Now, why am I playing that when it comes to Little Uzi Verge's putting out Eternal a take two? Because don't you know, I have not listened to Tyler the Creator's Chrome a Colomococococel. album in full yet, right? But then Eternal Take came out. Eternal Take 2, mind you, which is a sequel, which makes even more egregious. I listened from Track 1 to Track 16. And something sparked in, basically something happened while I was listening to this album. The ultimate lackadaisical approach to making music has to be called out.

Now, unless your future, freestyling over and over again on a beat for the first 7 to 8 tracks and thinking people are going to call this good, let alone serviceable, it's just something that's a slap in the face to all Uzi fans. This man is out here, freestyling on beats, not making sense majority of the time, and then he wants us to accept this as a sequel to Eternal Attack. Let me tell you out some of the tracks that's on Eternal Attack,

because i think y'all forget what type of album this was like sometimes putting a sequel out is um very pivotal for your career so acting like a turn or take didn't have some of i think it was some of his biggest tracks yeah a few uh futsul futsul futsul shuffle i think the sight said definitely messed that up bushered at all type of words messed up but uh footsu shuffle i think i said that right i don't know Um, that was the biggest song that I think was, um, pivotal for the album. And then you had that way, of course, that blew up. But eternal take two is eternally garbage. Like the amount of garbage is just eternal, right?

Neverlasting or everlasting, um, limitless, infinity garbage. So whenever I look at his Instagram, just trying to see if the Uzi fans was just going to Kate for it because it just came out. But mind you, if you freestyle over beats for the first one to eight track, And I completed the entire album. I can tell you all the tracks. I like Chill Bay because he actually trialled on that track. Conceited is probably my favorite track off of the album.

And that's it. That's like, what, three, well, two. And I also like the perky track just for the simple fact that the overall melodies was on point. But those are the only three tracks that I basically enjoyed throughout the 16 track project, which is 43 minutes, mind you. So after I was listening to him free, style time and time again overbeats and basically not making any sense it struck a accorded me to go to his instagram and see what his fans were saying because maybe i'm tripping right maybe i'm not in

touch with uzi and how he comes up with his classics right so anyways i went to his comment section and guess what's the first thing i see thug out and uzi drop life is great i'm like oh that's so that's so supportive you know i'm so glad that his fan base loves that he dropped and then of course we get to the real comments yo get back in the studio and try again you got this bro oh man somebody else said i wanted to tell you i have never commented on an instagram posted my entire life but your album made me change my mind this was the worst piece of music my ears have ever listened all right now obviously that'll be a little dramatic But this is his comment section. You would think this is your fan base, right?

Now, honestly, as an influencer, I kind of understand how people just comment negative stuff to get under your skin. But my brother, this track, this album, from start to finish, you know, setting aside the three songs that I think is serviceable is just completely trash. Like, it doesn't even have an inclination of effort

that you showcase. You seem like you're freestyle and freestyle into the point where I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out and be like, ah, my bad, I made this album last night. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if he said that. That's the amount of effort that's shown on this project. One of his other fans said, I love Uzi, but this might be his worst album by far. Somebody else said, yeah, this is horrible.

The mixing is horrible and the pitched down voice ain't it. running every song plus these choruses are so dukey you know what somebody describes something as duki you know what some you know what some you know what some you know what some you know what you know anyways um let's get back to a little uzi because honestly i want to give just man some advice so ultimately i think uzi is great at melodies and choruses but freestyleing while he has had freestyles where he completely went off which his most pivotal one I think was the one with let me make sure I think it was a herb oh yeah the who who run it remix so obviously uzi can rap and he can freestyle at a clip that makes it not as um terrible as his album is right so if you want to freestyle for an entire body of work

do not label it a sequel because now people are going to go off the expectations of eternal a take when in totality you are basically putting out a mixtape. So I don't know if his label told him to put out an album and he was like, well, this is what I got because he's under Generation Now slash Atlantic Records, which is basically going under complete reconstruction with Elliot Grange hopping on it as, if you don't know, Elliot Grange is the head of Atlanta Records now. He's the CEO of it. So Lucien Grange is the CEO of Universal Music Group. Now, how in the world did that happen without them as far as the Grange is being called out for a monopoly? The world may never know. And I'm not going to say nothing because I ain't

going to lie to you. Lucian Grange, probably one of the more powerful people in the music industry. So as far as speaking on him in a negative light, you won't catch me doing that too often. I ain't going to lie to you. You know, I got to keep it eight more than 92. because I do enjoy this profession, right? So all I'm going to say is, you know, it's peculiar. People talk about Bronny James, but Brony ain't the franchise player for the Boston Celtics, right? He just sitting on the bench watching his dad play for $8 million. You know, that's respectable.

But as far as Ellie and Grange, that man is over one of the more powerful music labels in the industry, while his dad is over the most powerful music label in the industry. So how that happened is beyond me. a high down today. Oh, because little Uzi is under Atlantic. So I don't know if they forced them to put out an album. I think they're trying to, I heard they're trying to force Cardi B to put out an album. But apparently, every time they try to force her to put out an album, she gets pregnant. Now, I don't have anything to back that up, which is what I've heard, is what I've been told. So I'm like, is there ways to circumvent not putting out an album? I guess that's one of them.

You know, maternity leave is a real thing, even in the music landscape. So, hey, do have that information which you will but um as far as uzi uh this is this is garbage my brother like go back to a drawing board um try to put together good music and then put it out to the masses instead of freestyle and over beats and thinking we're going to uh take it at face value as far as eternal or take two this was eternal garbage this should have been titled eternally garbage like limitless garbage the ultimate ear the what's it called sonically displeased pleasing to the ears eternally displeasing to the ears there you go that's your new album title because this is this is not it and also eternal a take back in 2020 sold 288 000 first week

to to label this eternal a take two i just hope i just hope he can recover from this that's that's all i that's all i'm saying i just hope he can recover from this and and ultimately i wanted to like the album but it's just what they what do you say oh oh no Let a young girl live John in Tennessee Go ahead what you want to say That shit is fucking trash Don't get the fuck off the airway

Oh come on man Rob in Miami what you want to say Come on man But with that being said All my Uzi fans Click my link tree in my bio Let me know one of my social medias What do you think about
