I’ve been an Uzi fan since 2016.. and man this video proves the real reason why I fw him so much. The way he is different than everybody else and stays true to himself is amazing.
uzii is one of the last icons from a time in music that changed the culture forever. 2016 was the iconic year if u were tapped in you know. the first listen to 7am was a different type of vibe. On his own shit. in my opinion hes the hendrix of the new rap generation.
This. 2016 was a historical moment in music history. 3 Uzi tapes, Birds in the trap sing mcknight, 4 your eyez only, blank face, views, sremmlife 2, purple reign. I remember that summer every week it seemed like a new one would drop and each were so quality and original and transformative in their own way. Will always be a special year.
ye agree uzi like this eras future with his grasp on the trap scene and pure hitmaking ability. Carti is like this eras thug with how tapped in he is to the music scene, his experimentation, and sheer influence. Whats crazy to think tho it that uzi is working on a project sounding like thug and cartis new voice from what we heard seems like hes taking from future for his next project. super hype
Hendrix comparison is crazy 😂😂 Hendrix was a vocalist and played 9+ instruments. I love uzi I think he makes very fun music I’ve heard all his shit but the fact he’s very replaceable most these “icons” are.
Uzi is literally a living legend, genuinely cool dude whos not afraid to be himself. Ak do more of these vlogs we see a side out of everyone we dont normally see, its very casual.
Legend? Yall need to stop throwing that word around so carelessly bro.. 😂😂😂 he far from it. He needs to work his way up there and am sure if you ask Uzi himself if he's a legend he will surely deny that at the moment..
@@StomerMadGermzOfficialLegends don’t have to be from the 90s bro. Uzi’s influence on this generation is legendary. THIS NIGGA HAD MILLIONS OF GROWN MEN SHAKING THEIR HIPS!
they’ve both made it so far and it’s been really inspiring to see uzi as a 21 year old just gaining fame, buying bustdowns n rocking out shows during soundcloud era to a 28 year old who has learned from his experiences and continues to use them to make timeless music 😢
uzi always seemed like a geniune and chill dude to me man. idc what no one says about pink tape whether you like it or not, i will always appreciate and respect an artist who constantly tries to evolve and try new sounds (expirmenting with different sounds). PT for me i rly liked the album, ik others might not think its his best album thats cool but me personally, i rly enjoyed it. and i also enjoyed this video real raw and honest shout out uzi and ak. cant wait for barter 16.
You can tell like he said he use to be a asshole (probably cause he was so lit at the time), but you can see the growth and the humbleness that’s happened in his life 💯
We gotta appreciate that uzi is still here making music and being himself . Shit really made me think if we lost him we probably wouldn’t think the way we are thinking rn. Him and Carti really carrying the game for the younger generation. He will be talked about for years to come as one of the most influential artist of our time and we are alive at the same time to witness it and watch him grow
@@JorgeRamirez-md3qgyou listen to Uzi and can’t agree that Carti is influential? Uzi was literally hopping on beats inspired by Carti on pink tape. There wouldn’t be like half of pink tape without wlr
it sucks that we can’t have this type of content for x and juice anymore, imagine them sitting down w ak reflecting on their 5-6 year careers and what they’ve learned so far
shit is haunting. i love uzi but those 2 were the most polarizing & dominant artists since the drake, kendrick, cole entry era. uzi up there w them tho like if they were still alive i’d say the 10 main ones of this generation would be x juice pop uzi trav carti yachty yak 21 & trippie
It’s crazy how all these rappers actually watch ak consistently even if they don’t acknowledge it. Kudos to uzi for giving ak his flowers and creating a way for new media
I appreciate how Uzi always trying new shit and doing what he gotta do. No Uzi album sound the same, he always evolving and experimenting. That’s why I FW Uzi, cus he doesn’t get stale or stuck in 1 lane.
Uzi Is a Big Inspiration to me when it’s comes to being yourself, He’s isn’t in the media unless it’s for music or catching stray bullets in unnecessary social media beefs
@@jonnyseablue6911 bro , wtf is wrong with people, i can’t even say that someone is good at the craft that they offer to the world bro , smh . complimenting comments can change the world in a positive manner , instead of beating people down with negativity
🙋🏾♀️ Hi, Ms. Mabel here. Lil Uzi is HIM and has been HIM for a minute now! He is/was ahead of his time so he has time to explore, experiment with different sounds in his creative process. HE is the ONE that has been ushering in the new sound, next wave in Hip Hop. I respect him and his overall artistry because he transcends age, race, gender, socioeconomic landscapes, etc. Uzi is VERY unique and authentic with his artistry.
Lil Uzi Vert is the kind of success story that encourages me as an underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Lil Uzi Vert🔥
I’m down wanna stray u from your dreams but uzi didn’t work to get where he was at. He had MAJOR connects. So don’t try and compare yourself to him, but dream big lil homie
@@HUNGRYFLOWER98but u do gotta understand uzi fought to meet those major connects and sometimes stumble so u can just gotta work and put yourself and have a lil luck and u will be fine
I love how AK never gets in the way of his interviews or talks with artists. They interrupt, he gives them the floor everytime. Something Vlad gotta learn lol
i feel like thats a talent ALOT of interviewers dont have but need.. like Charlemagne is excellent at allowing ppl to talk while giving his opinions or questions when they end.. SayCheese /Shawn also does a great job at that as well
Keep protecting your heart Uzi we love you from across the globe arts here and there. Up and down. As the world changes we do with it. Keep your chin up
This is why I always liked uzi cus he actually seem normal when it’s normal situations. When it’s time for his to be a star he knows how to turn it on but he’s pretty real.
The best blog I watched sooo far this means a lot to me I always had wanted to sit down smoke laugh joke around and have conversations with people but the type of person I am it’s hard to hold one by watching these videos it helps on knowing what to say and etc
You speaking on the greatest hits to never make it out is me literally I got everything I need guidance I needa lock into more just venting tho love y’all all💚
Uzi been killing, and still is killing this shit till this day. Old heads like "Ebro" would never understand, or appreciate what Uzi did. He deserves a Lot of credit especially from the people who bit his style, and ain't even acknowledge him. 👽
Ak!!!! Been following you since the war of chiraq days. Bro watch that weight man. Looking like you putting on more than you taking off. Health is wealth. Stay blessed
We can’t lie about Akademiks not being one of the top interviewers fr. Uzi always knows how to create some fire ass songs though. No doubt that this album will top the charts.Can’t wait for Barter 16🔥🐐💯
He talks to much and interrupt to much. He tryst to get his point across instead of letting the person get theirs across. He seems more like debator then a interviewer
Bro everyone is dropping + uzi having a real real interview + another one in the future + another album What a great throwback this interview has been ... thanks akademiks :)
When he (uzi) said, "When a mfka act like they really don't give af, they do, cuz it's something pressing against their heart that make them protect their energy" 🔥🔥🔥💎💎💎✨️💪🏿💯 #Facts Iont care who you are, if u ain't feel that you're not human 🤷🏿♂️
its just funny to me that they paying hundreds for studio time just to light some candles, bring the chinese buffet to them, pop some bottles, and just talk lol
I’ve been an Uzi fan since 2016.. and man this video proves the real reason why I fw him so much. The way he is different than everybody else and stays true to himself is amazing.
Exactly, he really stayed true to himself
And he takes care of his people
ong been uzi fan since late 2015
been an uzi fan since ‘16 too but i live in a tent now
This right definitely solidifies why he’s an OG in this game now
That liquor was beating them boys lmao but it made the real come out.. this some uncut authentic shit right here. Deeper than a interview or a vlog.
uzi did sound a lil sauced
Shit was spanking them lol
Ak was looking like he was finna tear up at one point 😂😂
You don’t think they knew they was on camera? You don’t think they knew this would be posted? All for the clicks my boy
@@_M3WTW0_ its crazy that i read this right at that point i think😂 19:45?
I just love how uzi proved Ebro wrong 🏆
Ebro says a lot of goofy shit

Ebro always wrong 😂

If uzi goes #1 with barter 16 mixtape that’ll be fire 2 #1 in the same year. I’m super excited about this mixtape
I appreciate how Uzi always trying new shit and doing what he gotta do. No Uzi album sound the same, he always evolving and experimenting. That’s why I FW Uzi, cus he doesn’t get stale or stuck in 1 lane.
Facts we anit gotta tell him to switch it up
Difference between Uzi and most is he truly cares about this life, and the people he affects
the best uzi interview ive ever seen
I agree, no character/trolling Uzi. Just very natural side of him.
uzi is a real person .he talks what he really feels❤
Like he said “it’s their job”
Uzi Is a Big Inspiration to me when it’s comes to being yourself, He’s isn’t in the media unless it’s for music or catching stray bullets in unnecessary social media beefs
I like how Uzi was giving props and other artists like Yachty, Kodak, playboi carti their flowers 💪🏽. Salute to him 🫡
i appreciate how humble & genuine this conversation is
Great interview, Uzi smart asf, you can tell he's seen a lot the last few years
What do you mean? He seems like the same person to me
@@Steven-sd2zihe probably was talking about how uzis said hes peeped game over the years as he risen to the top
this is basically uzi’s first interview. History. Mark my words, at least a part of this video will be in his documentary inna couple yrs.

How did you build your buzz around your music?
Good luck.
Love when Uzi throws his hands up and says he been trying the whole time, never not been trying. That's real.
you can tell he genuinely meant that too
I love how AK never gets in the way of his interviews or talks with artists. They interrupt, he gives them the floor everytime. Something Vlad gotta learn lol
Ak does interrupt. Just to a lesser extent than Vlad.
He tried to cut uzi off a few times in this but uzi just talked over him 😂
What you watched? He interrupted him every 5 words.
i feel like thats a talent ALOT of interviewers dont have but need.. like Charlemagne is excellent at allowing ppl to talk while giving his opinions or questions when they end.. SayCheese /Shawn also does a great job at that as well
was gonna say he cuts in alot to repeat himself so he does interrupt..
This vlog is definitely a part of rap history💯no cap
Uzi stand up interview better than all his sit down interviews
Cuz he in his own studio chillin
Keep protecting your heart Uzi we love you from across the globe arts here and there. Up and down. As the world changes we do with it. Keep your chin up
This is why I always liked uzi cus he actually seem normal when it’s normal situations. When it’s time for his to be a star he knows how to turn it on but he’s pretty real.
This was sooo epic! We need the whole interview ASAP! Uzi was dropping soo many gems in this!
this was so organic

Nah fact
This be the vibe before hits are made, essential ode
The energy in this video is pure black brothely love. Much Respect.
When Uzi said he is trying, I felt that and that proves be isn’t afraid of being himself fully
It sounds like uzi almost ready to go on his spiritual journey😂💯
He been thru it he already thinkin bout retiring 😂😭
You speaking on the greatest hits to never make it out is me literally I got everything I need guidance I needa lock into more just venting tho love y’all all💚
I love seeing uzi in this light maybe bc I don’t get to see him flow through life like other artist, when he said he trying I felt that
We definitely need a full interview man uzi genuinely smart ash n would surprise a lot of the old heads W Uzi W ak
Love this man. Reason I rap, reason I got into music, reason I’m here n he dnt even know. Mad respect.
Respect to uzi for doing this

11:17 this part of the conversation was so real, Carti did the rockstar shit so tough Uzi can’t even tap into cause he trapped the lane
Uzi booked a smaller venue in Birmingham and I was literally saying he did it to have a more personal show. Thank you uzi!

The love for Yachty was heartwarming and the little shoutout to juice ❤❤
seeing uzi just praise and talk about yachty made me smile fr cause yachty definitely proved to be not just a rapper
I have sooooo many good memories associated with uzi songs over the years.
Bruh I've been waiting for this uzi your fans love you bruh
