The instrumental samples “I’m Blue” by Eiffel 65. Minaj then attempted to one-up that line throughout the rest of the song and Uzi did not exactly get the song back on track.

Nicki Minaj deadass says ‘I got a Republican doctor, made my ass great again MAGA’. The bridge is just Uzi doing “I Hate Being Sober”, the song interpolates Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”, the early parts of the song sound a lot like Kid Cudi, there’s just too much going on, and for no reward. There’s potential here, but the bulk in attempts aren’t going to get it done.Īs you might expect, there are some real lowlights. “Nakamura” samples one of Uzi’s favorite WWE wrestler’s theme songs and the track is one of the best instances of Uzi dabbling in more of a rock sound. It’s not good, I know this, but Pink Tape is almost 30 songs long, and the track is so deep into the muck that you start looking for anything that breaks up the monotony and it certainly does that. There’s a cover of System of a Down‘s “Chop Suey!” on here. I’m going deeper underground, can’t face it’ Your world will soon go down but underground There’s just something about Uzi yelling adlibs in the background of a BABYMETAL song that just feels right to me and they’re on the track more than enough to keep the song feeling like an Uzi track, so the song ends up being very enjoyable.

Uzi has a small feature on a track with the band that came out in June, and their presence is more noticeable on the feature than on Pink Tape. This happens again on “The End” but nowhere near as stark. “Werewolf” is a really good Bring Me The Horizon song, but it’s more Uzi taking a breather while the band takes over for a few minutes than a true collaboration. Starting their career at the same time as other artists like Lil Peep, XXXTentacion, and many more, Uzi has long been leading the emo-rap subgenre and the work that Eternal Atake began in working in some new influences is continued on Pink Tape, but the end results are a bit rough around the edges. Uzi has always been comfortable incorporating their emo/pop punk influences. This is the last time I will bring these tracks up because I cannot remember most of them. About seven or eight of the songs on Pink Tape are pretty much filler (why the fuck you’d want filler to get the album to 26 tracks is beyond me) that could have been on any Uzi project after The Perfect LUV Tape. Let’s get my biggest complaint out of the way – this thing is nearly 30 fucking tracks. Pink Tape is the Philly rapper’s third album since 2017 and it’s an extremely interesting, albeit very scatterbrained look into its creator’s music taste and how they channel it. Uzi’s smash hit mixtape LUV Is Rage released almost ten years ago (we are all old) and many other rappers from their era have already long faded away, but Uzi’s genre-bending style has stayed fresh. Unlike some of their contemporaries that have run out of ways to make new versions of the same track, Lil Uzi Vert seems to have too many ideas.
