Luv is Rage 2 displays slight growth despite recycled content. ItвЂ™s likely that he will ride the momentum of this project into his next songs, and next projects. If you want to cut to the chase and listen to the best songs, I recommend the following: вЂњSauce it Up,вЂќ 'XO Tour Life,вЂќ вЂњDark Queen,вЂќ вЂњUnfazed,вЂќ вЂњNeon Guts,вЂќ вЂњNo Sleep Leak,вЂќ and вЂњHow to Talk.вЂќДЄll things considered, Lil Uzi Vert has come a long way. The bar was high for this project and yet the majority of it is underwhelming.

Which makes me wonder: how long can he keep this up? Many of these songs could've easily appeared on his previous projects, and no one would notice the difference. Songs like 'Two' are redundant and provide no depth: 'I ain't gonna lie I got money and the power!' Cool Uzi, but what does that mean to you? The VerdictД«y sticking to his guns so much, he has begun to sound as if heвЂ™s running out of bullets. On 'X,' he states the obvious: 'I don't want my ex/ break up with a text.' '444+222' has a cringe-worthy reference to Jay-Z's most recent album. He even uses these sparingly on this record (because he normally exhausts these words).Д®ven so, much of this project feels like the same microwaved, mindless, melodic trap bangers he always puts out. He has become synonymous with the adlibs 'yea' and 'what' that many rappers are using today. These include charisma, melodic vocal inflections, rapid-fire flows, hypnotizing beats, and the ability to make catchy songs. This isn't to negate the fact that Uzi has his strengths. Uzi is easily one of the most unconventional artists Hip-Hop has seen in years, which makes him exciting at timesвЂ¦ when heвЂ™s not rapping about generic topics that is. If youвЂ™re going to follow this formula, at least make it a little more interesting. I have plenty of haters but itвЂ™s okay because I sleep with their girlfriends. His thought process while songwriting follows this cycle: mention an encounter with a woman-wait, sheвЂ™s a woman I stole from some lame man I have plenty of diamonds, money, and foreign cars. Although he is more polished on this record, there still isn't much substance or food for thought on this-even on some of the more 'deeper' cuts. Yet too often he is reluctant to stray from that winning formula. When he ditches his usual formula for something slightly introspective like, вЂњDark Queen,вЂќ the hype surrounding him seems to makes sense. When he links up with Pharrell and The Weeknd for вЂњNeon GutsвЂќ and вЂњUnFazed,вЂќ the chemistry is undeniable. After all, UziвЂ™s idols like Marilyn Manson were famous for creating waves, not riding them. Yet unfortunately, heвЂ™s just not a full-fledged rockstar yet. When heвЂ™s at his best on this record, Uzi is a rockstar. Will his new release solidify his place in Hip-Hop? AnalysisДЄt times on this project, the answer is yes. Up to this point, his career has taken advantage of, and relied on the momentum generated by his previous efforts. And now that itвЂ™s finally here, itвЂ™s projected to top the Billboard 200 chart. With these accomplishments under his belt, itвЂ™s no wonder why Luv is Rage 2 has been one of the most anticipated projects of the year. After several mixtapes, a feature on вЂњBad and Boujee,вЂќ and the success of вЂњXO Tour Life,вЂќ his career has skyrocketed to new heights.

He has managed to keep polar opposites talking about him-both his haters and his fans. Since bursting onto the scene in 2015 with Luv is Rage, Lil Uzi Vert has been a magnet. Will his new release solidify his place in Hip-Hop? How did we get here?
