Xo tour llif3 lil uzi vert album name11/19/2022 ![]() ![]() I do not think this is an album that I would listen to by myself, I also would not use this album as a go-to when handed the aux in my friend’s RAV 4. Uzi also brilliantly delves into his emotional state with passion. The song highlights Uzi’s glamorous lifestyle with lyrics such as, “Yeah, you never stayed in Kailua/I put Chanel on my shooter/Flooded my chain and it’s Gucci.” In addition, the singing skills and swagger of Williams makes the song catchy and fun to dance to.įrom start to finish, the album is full of songs that would satisfy the average Uzi fan, from more slow-paced, ruminative tracks to dance-floor bangers. While it is not known as the best track on the album, “Neon Guts” featuring Pharrell Williams is by far the cleanest track in terms of production and cohesiveness. The album is essentially a club playlist featuring energetic songs such as “444+222” and “Sauce it up,” In his song “X” Uzi says, “Yeah, my life’s a mess, but I’m also blessed.” Although the album is underscored by his depression and post-breakup abuse of prescription painkillers, Uzi still managed to produce plenty of upbeat trap tracks, reminiscent of the style of Future and similar artists. On “Pretty Mami,” Uzi raps, “Girl you took an L and we can see that/Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, yeah, don’t you see that.” The implication is clear Byrd has made a mistake. ![]() Throughout the album, Uzi presents slightly differing accounts of his feelings for Byrd, revealing the complicated tangle of his emotions. Other songs such as “X” and “Feelings Mutual” feature lines referring to the breakup. The album’s lead single, “XO Tour Llif3,” is, in fact, dedicated to their breakup and Uzi’s complex emotions surrounding it. ![]() In an attempt to mix things up, Uzi also incorporates aspects of rock into his trap style on the track “No Sleep Leak.”Ī consistent theme throughout the album is Uzi’s relationships, specifically his recent breakup with stylist Brittany Byrd. While Uzi remains energetic throughout the album, his lyrics lack depth and his beats seem like recycled versions of one another. Throughout the album Uzi stays true to his trap roots with plenty of hi-hats, synthesizing, and kick drums. On “Dark Queen,” which is written as a tribute to her, Uzi raps, “When I was small, momma made me tall.” Uzi raps about how he strives to provide for his mother in particular. In fact, Uzi has stated in the past to The FADER Magazine that he hates being famous and would not choose a lifestyle of fame if he did not have a family to support. “The famous life, it’ll eat you up alive/It’s a game, and I put my feelings to the side,” he raps. However, Uzi struggles with the fame that he has experienced and its effects on his personal life. The first song of the album is ironically named “Two.” In this song, Uzi raps about how he now “has money and the power” in the music industry. The album is consistent with Uzi’s mixtapes, melodic and autotuned space-like dance music combined with emo druggy lyrics including, “All my friends are dead, push me to the edge,” as Uzi sings in his hit song “XO TOUR Llif3.” As the sequel to his infamous mixtape “Luv Is Rage, ” Uzi provides fans with plenty of “Aye” and “Yeah” ad-libs to make his audience bounce up and down while wondering what exactly Uzi is saying. After riding the wave of his highly successful summer ballad “XO Tour Llif3” Lil Uzi Vert released his debut album “Luv is Rage 2.” The project has 16 songs featuring notable artists such as The Weeknd & Pharrell Williams. ![]()
