Uzis song selection will forever be his biggest issue. Even though EA2 was a throwaway album to get out his shitty record deal, dropping 2 bad albums back to back is not a good look for him. Uzi still makes great music (leaks prove that) but his song selection is absolutely dogshit. The only positive coming from EA2 is that he’s finally independent.
Uzi is real-life a phenomenal talent and pioneer, I was just listening to leaks and scrapped tracks alongside official cuts n I was just like bruh 🤦.... He has the tools and the songs, it's just the SONG SELECTION DAWG 😩
thats why him and keef are lowkey my fav rappers i always wanna put yb number 2 and kodak at 3 but damn uzi might have to be 3 hes like keef with all the unreleases and instead dropping the tapes with worse songs
i get that its a throwaway album to get out his deal or whatever, but i wish he had called it something else besides EA2. im not even the biggest uzi fan, but i understand how important that project is to uzi fans and to his lore as an artist. he shouldve saved EA2 as a concept for when he was actually independent and could make art that he could be completely invested in. calling it EA2 makes it look less strategic and more "im out of ideas so heres a sequel to what you already love"
My optimistic theory on it is that his label or management interfered with a lot of his work after EA. Uzi has had so much experimental work that never released (Paramore cover, Blink-182 feature, screamo style song (leak), etc) and maybe his label just didn't believe that he could get away with it? It's like they made him fill Pink Tape up with less risky music that he wouldn't have put on there. Perhaps this is why Uzi lately has seemed like he doesn't even care about what he released, as it wasn't what he wanted to release in the first place.
I don’t believe the theory that he dropped this to get out of his contract, he’ll probably use it as an excuse now but Uzi had too much on the line to be dropping music this bad & for him to call it EA2 just tells me that he thought that this was going to be something special. People are hitting the copium harder than Uzi did with the Galaxy Gas
@@bloodomen2794 ever since 2018, after LUV is rag 2 success he just lost it, moved to lame producers, doing full stupid demonic and fruity stunts . Carti a crash out too but he at least care about his craft
I’m a die hard Uzi fan, but I feel like he’s been making music for a whole different fan base now that shit is not it. But apparently he did it to get out of a shitty deal so hopefully he’ll be back dropping heat again 🤷🏾♂️
Went to the Pink tape tour in NC and he mostly played classic uzi bangers now that I’m thinking about it. He did play a few track from pink tape but mostly old stuff
For fact purposes, I went to the Uzi pink tape tour show at the Barclay Center in NY, and the streets were flooded and it was packed out. That place is Madison Square Garden Big. Also, I think his song selection is ass. He previewed a song this year at his concert (Richard Mille) at summerfest that is better than anything on this album
@@jermainestuckey-vf3xk thats dope as hell, you lucky you up north. I had to settle for Birmingham, and even though the venue was sketchy as hell, I'm more than glad I went. Shit was electric.
Yes I agree. It’s super rare to have a solid run though and he should welcome failure too. Even Beyoncé has had a not so well received album, it happens. He can use it as motivation or let it continue to shadow how next projects. Also I don’t think ppl expected Tyler to have such a massive turnout for his project, and when he dropped, since the date was already set. I think maybe he just said “oh well”. I mean what can you do?
Don't care i liked EA2,by uzi standards it's weak bcz uzi has one of the best discogs i've ever heard,but if someone like Lil Durk put this album out it would be above average for them,or average.
Tyler the creator is really expanding his sound and going beyond genres his direction music wise is genius I don't like Uzi music like I used too it's no urgency to make good music he just puts music out oh well I don't care I'm getting paid that's his mindset
EA 2 was definitely a throwaway album, not making excuses because i personally still enjoyed it. But you can tell how his rollout was with these last 2 albums, just a surprise " hey EA 2 is otw" never teased a pt 2 to that album it was just straight LIR3 and B16 after pink tape.
I also think his label picks the songs for him to drop because it’s more pop uzi and marketable uzi and not the songs Uzi actually wants the drop it’s like they just want him to make a just wanna rock again or something 😊
What I feel happened with this album was that Uzi just wanted to drop it and be done with his label, he didn’t even specify what eternal atake he was dropping on that street interview, when he started promotions he didn’t even drop singles or anything like Tyler did, he didn’t do shit to promote or talk about it, he just announced it and dropped it a week later
Didnt his complex interview explain this album? He said putting out immediately impactful music is too easy he wants his fans to defend it so maybe thats whats going on here
Not really gonna put a gauge on this album. He clearly didn’t care. And the funny part is if he chose a slower week it would’ve did 100k just off curiosity. He sacrificed his motion to get out of a bad deal. He just gotta go crazy the next album. If he doesn’t. It’s over.
yeah i think he definitely has an identity crisis bro which definitely means he can’t be confident in one domain, but he should’ve released barter 16 bro that would’ve been really good for him
Everybody mad because they think every album he put is gotta be better then EA1 if you a real fan you going fukk with EA2 I fuck with the album personally I love uzi, people forget that he didn’t drop for a year or two before dropping the first EA smfh
man the truth with pink tape is that he let a fckin fanpage dictate the direction of basically the whole album, uzi had that fanpage pick the cover art and everything🤦🏿♂️ he just needs to do him and stop using the label as a excuse. it’s 2019 all over again
I don’t see how you guys expect weirdos that that does all types of drugs to act normal or do things that are normal. They are drugged out. Not a Dis I love Uzi, but the fact of the matter is that he’s a weird guy.
@@arseeoliveira6934 I’d 100% take the opportunity to be signed by Uzi as long as it’s not some goofy slave deal . It shouldn’t matter if he’s hot or not atm. The resources from having him back you should do _something_ right?
you said everything, he move too fast cause he's insecure about the result. He need a whole new team, even his beats are lame since 2018. He said many times since 2015 that he only do music for the money and don't really care about it and we don't even see him move outside of music that he barely drop
Tell me if I’m wrong but I really think generation now was picking those songs. That’s the whole symbolism behind chill bae. He’s free now so let’s look forward and let’s cheer on uzi. The label and leaks stopped the original ea, the same producers that were working with that label did that too. You think uzi didn’t wanna drop barter, og EA, 1629?????????
It wouldn't benefit him to just drop an album just to leave his label. Y'all forget that artists can run out of gas. We saw it with Tyson the other night, maybe he just don't got it no more. 🤷🏿♂️
Uzi doesn’t need to drop “amazing” music anymore EA2 was 100000% an experimental tape and he doesn’t give a flying fuck what anyone says. Idk about his label or deals but himself definitely could retire now and say “I done well”
Honestly uzi has a amazing leaked catalogue, dude should just release them i mean go/ Sanguine paradise 2, groupchat and catfish all songs i reaaally enjoy and all leaks, dudes song selection is terrible thats his problem
Idc what ppl say, EA2 was a mostly bad album but the songs that hit are different from his usual and I respect that and I enjoy them. All personal but EA2 isn’t the worst album in existence like ppl making it out to be. Js not up to Uzi standards. Pink tape tho was obv experimental and it does not deserve the hate it got.
I've been watching a for years now i think, but what is the origin of your name. You have had the same username in the entire time that I have been watching your content, but did your username used to be "pay" and you changed it for some reason?
He needs someone to help him organize his next project because I listen to uzi everyday and not released stuff either so ik he got heat.. P.S I’m one of those people who actually buy’s physical media so don’t hate on me for bumping leaks kuz I would buy the album still even if i knew every song
EA2 sounded like his other albums it’s just generic music from a generic artists no growth no development just recycled music for a quick check, I’m glad Uzi has money now but I wish he was actually creative
Chill Bae was the only song on EA2 that even warranted the EA namesake. Cannot believe how absolute trash it was. Pink Tape I actually really liked. But EA2 is complete hot garbage
This is his 2nd flop - who is helping him pick songs - he has way better songs like super sayian 2 they he should be dropping not this shit. And where is DJ drama to help him anr this shit
U sounding like a bandwagoner literally the same stuff Al said.. if u really rock w Uzi keep listening the album get better each time u listen to it.. yall always saying Uzi need to go back to his old style bruh literally been the same person since 2016 have yall not been listening to the leaks! Bruh said he has a new team around him so pink tape nd luv is rage 2 was done different he prolly made them songs quick asf so they wouldn’t leak even red and white ep he was tryna give us songs tht wasn’t leaked… ppl be saying every time carti come out of hiding w a new voice Uzi pops out of hiding a whole album of the style Carti made (at meh, backrooms etc.)… the project is not bad by a long run but him and Carti have tht effect yall never like it in the beginning but the project becomes bigger then what we all thought.. I suggest listening to the album front to back w some beats on the album is a experience theirs literally a story he’s telling within the album and nobody had caught on yet
Uzi was never a musical genius let’s be honest he got a few bangers but he’s not far off from a lil pump as opposed to Gunna who can produce bangers forever. People finally waking up but I’m not sure they know what it is exactly
nah people aren’t pickier g, he himself just stands out from the rest of music so much less than he used to… with his quality and feeling it’s gotten stale and almost expected I think.

how many times is he gonna sign a bad deal????? ain’t that what happened with the first EA?????
yo you repeated talking points a couple times in this vid, i thought my shit rewinded
N barely any Uzi info just talking points
Hi my name is Lady Nahualli and I really enjoy your videos, they are helping me improve my perspective on rap music. 💯☺
Went to the Pink tape tour in NC and he mostly played classic uzi bangers now that I’m thinking about it. He did play a few track from pink tape but mostly old stuff
I was there in Raleigh best day of my life
For fact purposes, I went to the Uzi pink tape tour show at the Barclay Center in NY, and the streets were flooded and it was packed out. That place is Madison Square Garden Big. Also, I think his song selection is ass. He previewed a song this year at his concert (Richard Mille) at summerfest that is better than anything on this album
The pink tape tour was my first concert experience, and I have absolutely 0 regrets. I loved the pink tape from first listen tho so...
Same pink tape what was the first concert I ever went to and it was amazing I just think he didn't promote this album too well

Just so you know everyone of his albums have charted at least top 3.. and it’s completely ok for artists to throw out a dud if u bounce back.
The internet has everyone’s ability to find interest in things burning at double time
ea2 was full of heaters tho
Yeah artist today are lacking in the visuals department.
Don't care i liked EA2,by uzi standards it's weak bcz uzi has one of the best discogs i've ever heard,but if someone like Lil Durk put this album out it would be above average for them,or average.

He was definitely shouting out city on his Instagram about his pink tour
You gotta remember how much eaisee it was to get Hella sales back in 2018-2019
Great points and great video. Just some constructive criticism, you are repeating yourself a lot.
Didnt his complex interview explain this album? He said putting out immediately impactful music is too easy he wants his fans to defend it so maybe thats whats going on here
Giving your fans bad product to get out of a deal still isn't right even if that's the case. The people who support you deserve better.
Personally meteor man was one of my favorites and I liked most of the songs he wasted a few good beats but it's a vibe album just like pink tape imo
Bro Uzi was all on instagram wen he dropped Pink Tape and let his fans choose the bonus songs
Not really gonna put a gauge on this album. He clearly didn’t care. And the funny part is if he chose a slower week it would’ve did 100k just off curiosity. He sacrificed his motion to get out of a bad deal. He just gotta go crazy the next album. If he doesn’t. It’s over.
Didn’t Uzi release a luv is rage deluxe the week after EA because of how bad the reception of EA was?
yeah i think he definitely has an identity crisis bro which definitely means he can’t be confident in one domain, but he should’ve released barter 16 bro that would’ve been really good for him
How many more albums does he have to release before he gets out of this labeled deal?
It feels like he boxed himself back in

Man where is BARTER16? 😂
When a mf tell you they worship the devil and you still choose to listen…I’ll pray for you

As someone who loves pink tape, this album did not hit at all. I wish his music kept going in the pink tape direction.
