Almost sounds like it could’ve fit on Syd’s solo album. “ I treat my dark-skin like my redbone.” Shout out Black women always and forever. Syd)”Ī Lil Uzi Vert and Syd track is something I never knew I needed. “ Hickory dickory dock / VVS all in my clock.” He went there!! I like this song. “ Gotta model / with vitalogi / she got a condo / out in Cabo” hahahahaha wow. More choirs but with booming drums behind them. What do these aliens want with Uzi? Incorporating skits into the ends of songs instead of tracks in their own right is a smart move. Uzi singing about $300K Benz with choirs cooing in the background is sending me. Uzi has a thing for choirs on this album. “ 300 for a two-door Benz.” Uzi is burning through money. I’m back on the sugar high of the album’s first quarter. Uzi has described all of them in the first 40 seconds. The songs move at a steady clip but I’m less impressed with the beat. It’s amazing how ubiquitous Virgil Abloh and Off-White have become in rap. Millennial love is special, huh? “ I had a glock with a dick, gotta pause that.” Say that shit with pride, fuck that “pause” shit. Uzi talking about how he used to text girls while in the same room. We’re already 10 songs in? Say what you will about long tracklists, but this album is moving fast. “Bigger Than Life” is the first time I’m off-balance in a bad way. Uzi is rapping over a choir and handclaps.

“I ran out of space, put diamonds on my toes.” At least he’s getting creative. “ My diamonds dance like Chris Brown.” That man has a strange legacy. Uzi could do nothing but talk about money and I’d never get tired of it. He’s really trying to escape from aliens. Can’t wait to see how it translates live. This is an album for the ragers, for sure. Others are gonna be ready to throw heads through the wall. Loving the energy but it’s not grabbing me like the others. This is the one moment where I’ve come back to Earth and I’m waiting for my tractor beam back up. A Birdman bar because of course there is.

“ Anthony Davis, don’t deal with a penalty.” The beat reminds me of a slowed-down version of DaBaby’s “Suge.” Uzi had bars to get off on Eternal Atake. Right into the bounce with no moment to breathe. “You Better Move” is gonna be a mosh pit starter, just watch. “ Versace drawers, you Fruit on the Loom.” Uzi rich talk is always exciting. “You Better Move” is made for shifting gears in an invisible car. I love this ray gun sample against these drums. The production so far is more cohesive than on Luv Is Rage 2. Scratch that this is Cocaine (the energy drink) music. Is he BREATHING RIGHT NOW? He went nuclear. “ BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI / BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI.” Someone send a doctor into the booth, holy shit. He’s hitting Lil Wayne levels of breathless rapping here. He makes “ MULTI MULTI MULTI” sound like scripture. He’s truly been waiting to be let off the leash. It’s great hearing Uzi with so much energy. Uzi is hopscotching across constellations. “Silly Watch” is interstellar milly-rock music. “ Hugh Hefner died so I can’t get bunny top,” shut uuuuup lol. Did he just reference baccarat? Is Uzi James Bond? Must investigate further.

I can imagine him throwing bands out of a spaceship. Uzi sounds like a person who knows they have too much money. Uzi’s flow here reminds me of a slower version of “Free Uzi.” The Fetty Wap bar was nice. Harsh piano keys over some pounding drums. I am mad at these Asian-sounding synths closing out the song. The “ Up, up, uppity” had NAV energy but I’m not mad. “ King of my city like Leon, man.” Uzi is switching flows and melodies so fast. Oh, the rest of the beat crashed through the wall. “ I made a million off a mixtape.” This is an intro. There go the drums! “ These boys ain’t believe me, a real rock star.” Uzi sounds fired up like he’s been waiting for this moment. “ Whip out the four-door, ready for war.” This sounds like a chandelier covered in baguettes gleaming from the inside of a UFO. “ Welcome to Eternal Atake.” Thank you, it’s been a long road.

Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish. In usual 1-Listen fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping.
