On The Come Up: Lil Uzi Vert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Lil Uzi Vert found some overnight success with his mixtape-turned-album (now available on iTunes thanks to a deal with Atlantic) Luv Is Rage. He hasn't stopped there, building on his momentum with leaks including the energetic "Did It," collaborations with Young Thug, Post Malone, Playboi Carti and more. Most recently, he delivered a new single "Money Longer."
A few weeks back he was in NYC for one of his first New York shows, and we had him stop by the office for On The Come Up. With blue dreads in tow, Lil Uzi ran down his native Philly roots, the origins of his rap moniker, and his wide range of influences. Among his influences, Uzi cites Mike Jones, ASAP Rocky, Kanye West and a few rap outsiders: Marilyn Manson and GG Allin.
He goes on to speak about connecting with Don Cannon and ASAP Yams (RIP), as well as his passion for anime and how that started.

I still love this interview to this day, I miss this Uzi
Back when he was just normal and always had music to release a month
@@wolfgang6442 He still makes bangers but just doesn't release them. I've been waiting for some of these snippets for a straight year
Imagine being that one guy who listened to uzi when he has a few hundred plays.
Coming here after eternal atake, this man has progressively and reached the top LEGEND!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
He's a lot different than I thought. A lot more soft spoken.
Yes... it is I. The comment from 2021 you was waiting for.
I love this guy style I feel like he's the rapper for the geeked up weirdos like his style is odd and new 🔥💯🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🔥💯💯💯💯
So true bro
+Lil Pope swear
The good old days 2015-2016
Valid statement
Watching this again in 2020 and seeing how much he has changed and grown to become the biggest artist of this generation is crazy🤯. Long live Uzi🐐🐐🐐
thought it was coolhow Lil uzi knows the type of music he makes. Based of a feeling rather than lyrics i respect his acknowledgement
people like to mock these young artists for not being lyrical but hearing their stories, i feel it gives hope to those little soundcloud artists. when uzi was talking bout how he started with 20 plays then it got a couple thousand, that gives soundcloud artists like myself something to look for. good looks uzi
Been trying to tell ppl til this day he made the SoundCloud era popular
Most Normal and chill looking trap artist
3:06 Sounds like 7am lol.
I was thinking the same
RMFRMLDN "I really think this shit gon work" 😂
Lmao wtf
A year, numerous hits and quality projects later Uzi is getting the recognition he deserves. He has grown as an artist, and we're still waiting for Luv Is Rage 2
Lil Uzi Vert Is The Future

Man, my impression of Lil Uzi changed so much from this short video.
Still my favorite artist in 2024
I come back to this video every time I get unmotivated 🤟🏽🦇I know to keep going because it’s always possible.
his eyes are pretty big. looks like hes straight out of an anime haha
off like no ridein this nigga is a major i mean major influence ive been listening to him since i was in middle school when he had a fade and he not done yet an he is on top in my eyes he is a living legend...fanboy rocky
Him being short makes his character better
He’s so himself it’s inspiring
From the future, he dropped 2 back to back albums both in the Top Charts, a 2016 Freshmen, Fashion Icon and many more things def he my fav rapper
Bro lil Uzi’s smile is everything🔥💕
Can't wait for #LuvIsRage2 !

+xXIFearz26 Straight up.
Uzi is legit bigger than I expected him to be last year damn he snapped
Wow look at uzi now one of the biggest artists
Guy forgot the name of his own mixtape for a second wtf....
4years later & he’s signet to Jay Z with the biggest rap album of the year
He still signed to Don Cannon and Dj Drama record label. He signed a management deal with Jay Z
if he ever stop rapping i would still listen to his music
He ain’t ever gon stop
he acts a little femine but his music is beast

I love Uzi so much, such an inspiration

Lil Uzi Vert shows me nothing but inspiration, small town kid like me punctuation
lmao @ 3:40: 'the 150 felt lit asf atm...'

Still missing the 2017 lil uzi
How can you hate on him? He's just vibing
He’s come a long way
I found Uzi through Money Longer and I fw his music and just him and his vibe and general man he's a dope ass guy

The Real Uzi put me on to him. Tropics i really fucked with heavy but now he making hella bangers
👌🏻
I fxck with him cause he is himself what rapper you know that'll openly talk about anime lol he authentic as a person and an artist
I hope uzi keeps up the good work because he is gonna be 2016.
He looks more comfortable when he's by himself speaking, everytime he's in a interview he looks like he's scared to talk.
