I’ve seen a few people saying that Uzi should have dropped the more classic Uzi songs as one side and then the experimental songs as another side. But why do you feel like you get to control their creative direction? That takes out all the excitement and unpredictability of this project, which is one of the main reasons why I enjoyed it so much on the first listen. And second of all, this project is literally called Pink Tape, which implies that the album is more of a compilation of songs rather than a focused idea or a particular message. And regardless, who really cares? Just take the songs you like and move on, I don’t get why you’re expecting a trap artist to be so intricate and detailed with their track listing lol
@@LegendaryMamba24Because of the hype surrounding Uzi. If he's going to be experimental go all out with it like Yachty or Carti did.

Nakamura probably my favorite song on this shit. That anime vibe hit different for me. If the track list was trimmed down the album as a whole coulda been way better
As a retired emo kid, I will fill you in on BMTH…they were originally a deathcore band from the UK, and they’ve been around since MySpace. Their first ep was probably the most hardcore project they put out, suicide season was a more refined version of their first ep, their second album was poorly received, felt like it was the transition album to their 3rd, and by far, best album, sempiternal. That’s where all their tiktok songs came from. Now I ain’t heard them in 10 years, and the fact Uzi knows about them really shows how popular they’ve become. I mean, maybe Uzi knew about them since back then, cause he’s closer to my age, but they were no where near as popular as they are now, and after hearing their newest music, it’s no where near their first works, BUT, this song, “werewolf” was a great song as an introduction for new listeners that have never heard of them. I’m happy to see these new artists like Uzi or Lone show the younger generation another amazing genre, rock n roll baby.
I mean, for me anyway, being black and around Uzi's age, I knew about Bring Me The Horizon since about Suicide Season so it's possible he knew prior to their swell in popularity
I feel like in music atm, a lot of artists are in this grey area of genre crossing. No one seems to be able to do it perfectly* or at least enjoyable for a full length EP... Think they are afraid to alienate their fan base by going too far off the deep end, so their presence seems stagnate over some of the more forward in-to-the genre production that a lot of these albums are going for. I look at it as a learning curve for artists in the entirety... and the reason the albums be so long is they dont know whats gonna work... Yachty has the best effort so far and i truly think its because of his personality and just being able to let go.. figure if this Rock infatuation keeps going maybe in a few years someone will have had the time to craft a really rock/rap infusion.
no bruh, yall are just fickle. the average consumer’s attention span is horrible cus most of yall are literal teenagers. these rappers do not wanna conform to what yall like EVERYTIME cus yall never really know what yall want nor do yall know what yall be talking about
What a reasonable take to such an ass album but jokes aside I definitely agree. I think that rodeo was the best fusion of rap and rock to date but I think in order to really craft that fusion a different mindset to albums have to be made. Cutting songs and fusing songs together is probably a good way foward
Fuckin fax i been getting into more and more r&b personally. Brent faiyaz is carrying. If i wanna hear this halfassed metal shit I'll go listen to an actual band...
Shawn has just been speaking fax this entire video my exact thoughts. These boring 4 minute tracks that don’t change will sound great live and would even be good if way shorter but they just too long.
Hella happy w the type of songs that Uzi decided to put on here cuz somebody is gonna get inspired and make some gold from it. Songs like Nakamura and CS tap into a sampling bag thats hella under appreciated but he doesn’t get the full potential out these samples. His actual execution is same as always, when he’s hot it’s great and when he’s not it’s just filler or worse. 6/10…how you have a Chop Suey cover and don’t even do the best part of the song?
“trying new things” Dude literally has a cover song on this album… I totally get what you mean, that was just the first thing that popped into my head when I read that sentence
I feel like these are the kind of people that listen to a song and say that it’s the best thing ever. Then they play it until they are tired of hearing it. It’s not good music, but they hype it up like it is
uzi stans in general are trying so hard to convince themselves its a misunderstood masterpiece. they want it to be wlr 2.0 so bad. but what they dont realize is that 80% of pink tape is basic leftovers from the Eternal Atake era
Oddly enough, I can tell this album is heavily intended to be performed live at concerts. We'll see what the REAL value of Pink Tape is once he starts the tour in October and videos from the concerts start coming out
I mostly agree with you. The album was too long and experimental for how little Uzi really brings. He needs to do more and higher quality on his part to make an album like this shine. I really want uzi to do well, but I haven't seen his writing or performance shine in 3 years. I like 3 of the tracks a lot, but the rest feel incomplete imho. (Intro, patience and Zoom)

@@abdul8973 I'm an equal fan of both of them, looked forward to both of them because of the Travis features, i played through trippie's album once since it came out, I've already played Uzi's like three times today and I'm not hating on trippie, fuck love is one of my favorite songs of all time by him
Convinced that a lot of y’all in the comments are bots. Just repeating the same shit that you think it’s an 8/10 lord have mercy y’all will defend anything
Yeah you'd be amazed at how unbelievably anal metalheads can be over bands like Bring Me The Horizon and BABYMETAL. But over time I think that they've warmed up to them to where now they're pretty much one of the flagship bands for metal. However, I do not think Uzi is a talented enough artist to where he can flesh out those ideas, to the point where it just feels like that whole "rocker" aesthetic that Uzi sports was never meant to be anything more than just that. And that's not to say that he can't express his love for rock in his own unique way, but I just don't think he did enough. The metal cuts feel like he just got official songs from both bands and put them on his album without much contribution. That and that Chop Suey! cover was absolute doo doo water. This album felt like a bunch of pretty cool ideas that Uzi didn't flesh out.
Bring me the horizon isnt metal most of the time, you literally look it up and it says rock band on google. Saying “one of the flagship bands for metal”, is just wrongand ignorant. People who really like metal will probably not like this very much, not that some will, but most wont.
I just wanted to say that in the track “Fire Alarm” Uzi is sampling “Stress” by Justice, is not about the classic creepy violin they use in scary movies
its gonna grow on him promise. Ngl there has not been a single album except for maybe wlr and some of uzis old albums where i can see i liked first listen. I liked every single song on this album first listen and the rock shit didn't catch me off guard cuz its uzi. Also, because i was into rock and metal for a good moment of my life so i didn't have to adjust to it. From the chop suey cover and bring me horizon feature as well as the babymetal feat i loved it all.
Issue is im not going to give an extremely bloated album that I found annoying another listen. I mean its 26 tracks for gods sake its just far far too long
@@Calebe428 nah fax I don’t like long ass albums but I gave it a chance and it worked out for me so moving forward if it’s an artist that I fw I’ll give it a chance.
I kind of liked it.. then again - I’m not too hardcore an Uzi fan and wasn’t expecting an album that was gonna change the course of music.. so I enjoyed it

Why is everyone acting like rap rock has never been done? Thought this album was terrible and I'm not gonna give him credit for "trying new things" that aren't even new. Bloated and messy album IMO but hey if people like it then fair enough
this is so crazy, this album and wlr have the same effect. you love it so much or you only like a few songs or hate it. no in between. this shit a 9/10 for me that might sound crazy but i fuck with it heavy
Felt the EXACT same way. An insane amount of bloat I remember looking down on “spin again” and thinking holy hell how am I barely halfway through. On top of this a lot of samples and sounds are all just curated terribly on more experimental tracks with uzi notably lacking in contribution.
The strategy is to put out a variety as some people will like other songs that other people don't like. It's like a shotgun approach. I only found like 2 songs I liked. But other liked more
I dont even know what i would want uzi to make at this point but when they go in so many different directions and it doesn’t feel like they have nailed what they want to go for, it’s hard to come back to it really
That's how it sounds the first few listens but after a while u get how it flows. It starts out with hype rager songs then goes to singing emotional songs then metal then classic uzi. The album does have a flow
I always wondered what a trash album would be..i always felt like i like some maybe 1 or 2 songs of evry album i think is bad..BUT THIS IS TRULY A TRASH ALBUM
The 4 track run of 4+ minute tracks was wild. Absolutely did not need that much Uzi in 4 tracks I’m ngl. But like you said, some really good spots within those tracks, just needed to be condensed.
It’s crazy cause all the snippets and build up towards this album was advertising a completely different vibe. Remember demon high and the psycho leak like what happened to all that??
He didn’t say Travis had a good verse he said it was at least better than Uzi’s and even then he said that was an extremely low bar to pass. Listen next time
I was introduced to some of the tracks a couple of days ago, because I saw Uzi live at the Splash festival. It was such a wild experience listening to the new album at the same day it dropped, but now after I listened to it in the comfort of my home, it realy aint it. I totaly get your point Shawn
@@michaelmaguire4374I think he means in the long term. It has no replay value. Even his meat riders such as yourself will barely listen to this again. It's sad how many yes men there are supporting these artists. That's why they never evolve or do better
I am mixed about it. Because pretty much all of these songs are really good to work out to or listen to live and the sampling and beats is insane on this album. But uzi doesn’t have no variety on the album. It doesn’t sound like a rock album to me it sounds like a hard modern rap album. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But I’m only going to be listening to this while I’m hooping or working out 5/10 for me EDIT: Werewolf is fire
13:48 I actually personally feel like this is Uzi’s ‘essential’ album. Definitely not inauthentic, he’s just older person who still love younger ideals (Loud music, scripted wrestling, Dance Dance Revolution, Punk Rock, ambiguous feelings towards the world etc). Nakamura is dope to have as a performance record. I’m surprise the WWE or Nakamura cleared it 😂.
For me this shit is so all over the place that I don't even think I can enjoy it from start to finish. I'll just nitpick a few songs (maybe) and run those on a shuffled playlist.
Or maybe the game is changing. Trap ain’t all that anymore and ppl aren’t realizing it, rappers and trap fans themselves. Ppl like trap less than they think they do rn. The game’s gonna change a lot in like 3 years.
@@liltupac1536 maybe not around you, but my area still got this going hard, and it’s not forgotten, people just listening to utopia, and then people have both in rotation
Everything Shawn said on this review was true. This album someone with Uzis caliber & the resources he has/could get is very generic to me. Album feels like he made this in a week. Alot of the songs play out far too long making them boring. Beats are generic with a few exceptions. On the werewolf & the end track (my favourites btw) feels like uzi should've been the feature. And lets not talk about the CS (Chop Suey) cover.. why does that even exist I get hes tryna be experimental & shit but its on the final cut of the album?? really?
I personally fw most of the album, but I understand all of your criticism for it 😂 shit sounds like a rough draft of something that could’ve been great, but it’s just kinda all over the place. I like weird ass music, so this was decent to me lol Also that Chop Suey cover was straight Dookie butter. Uzi should be ashamed of himself😢
Shawn is actually one of the biggest haters like every album has to be near perfect for him to say it’s good. He ain’t even a rap fan tbh he always is complaining that it’s so bad.
They always say that shit tho. You ever been in the comment section of an NBA YB album after it drops? 3 albums could come out in the same year and somehow they’ll all be AOTY. It’s a meaningless phrase now
@@loganleatherman7647ever think its just their opinions? Lol same as you come on here spewing your own i seen you on like 20+ comments so far… chill out logan we get it you dont like the album. If someone else thinks its their AOTY who’re you to tell them otherwise? Btw youngboy is ass (opinion)
For everyone saying it’s going to grow on people like WLR, you’re just wrong. If you like it of course you are perfectly justified but I’ve heard this about every Uzi project since LUV is Rage 2. Let’s be real Uzi bit Carti for most of the first half of the album with nothing unique outside of a few adlibs. The reason why WLR wasn’t praised until later is the same reason as Yeezus MOTM 808’s and so many more albums weren’t because they were experimental mainstream albums that are completely unconventional that it took a while for people to get behind. WLR introduced a type of trap punk that hadn’t been promoted before on a mainstream scale and look at the influence it’s had already. This album won’t have any influence and there’s nothing innovative about what Uzis doing at all other than the track “Just wanna rock” which was unique beat and performance wise and this was something I was hoping to hear more of here but there wasn’t anything. Y’all said the same shit with Eternal Attake and people don’t seem to be listening to that now or have changed their opinions on it. If you like it fair enough but the “you don’t understand it” “everyone’s going to change their mind” comments are so annoying.
I completely agree. The “experimental” aspects of the album were literally just covers of songs that were already made. With uzi adlibs. Not creative at all or experimental.
Uzi has literally always talked about being a rockstar so I was not shocked by the rager vibes and rock tracks.
The point was hip hop artists being a new concept of rockstar, not make shitty rock tracks

u tryna sound like shawn here but it's cool
Hella happy w the type of songs that Uzi decided to put on here cuz somebody is gonna get inspired and make some gold from it. Songs like Nakamura and CS tap into a sampling bag thats hella under appreciated but he doesn’t get the full potential out these samples. His actual execution is same as always, when he’s hot it’s great and when he’s not it’s just filler or worse.
6/10…how you have a Chop Suey cover and don’t even do the best part of the song?

You can't cover a song as legendary as Chop Suey. I cringed as soon as I heard Uzi's vocals and I was hyped for this album.
What I’m saying I was waiting for UZI to scream the father part and the beat just played and I was so upset💀
Album is actually refreshing tbh..
Uzi has never disappointed me, they are really good what they do.

Even if you don’t necessarily like the album you have to appreciate Uzi for trying new things and not just doing the same style over and over

Yeah you'd be amazed at how unbelievably anal metalheads can be over bands like Bring Me The Horizon and BABYMETAL. But over time I think that they've warmed up to them to where now they're pretty much one of the flagship bands for metal.
However, I do not think Uzi is a talented enough artist to where he can flesh out those ideas, to the point where it just feels like that whole "rocker" aesthetic that Uzi sports was never meant to be anything more than just that. And that's not to say that he can't express his love for rock in his own unique way, but I just don't think he did enough. The metal cuts feel like he just got official songs from both bands and put them on his album without much contribution. That and that Chop Suey! cover was absolute doo doo water.
This album felt like a bunch of pretty cool ideas that Uzi didn't flesh out.
Bring me the horizon isnt metal most of the time, you literally look it up and it says rock band on google. Saying “one of the flagship bands for metal”, is just wrongand ignorant. People who really like metal will probably not like this very much, not that some will, but most wont.
Bring Me The Horizon is the 6ix9ine of metal

@@someguy4046 I definitely agree I’m just saying, like I only saved 6 songs
its gonna grow on him promise. Ngl there has not been a single album except for maybe wlr and some of uzis old albums where i can see i liked first listen. I liked every single song on this album first listen and the rock shit didn't catch me off guard cuz its uzi. Also, because i was into rock and metal for a good moment of my life so i didn't have to adjust to it. From the chop suey cover and bring me horizon feature as well as the babymetal feat i loved it all.
Issue is im not going to give an extremely bloated album that I found annoying another listen. I mean its 26 tracks for gods sake its just far far too long
The Chop Suey cover is cringe. That song is legendary as the original. And I like Uzi

We need to get back to the point of albums not being over 16 songs long…all this just to get more streams
Too late, this is the new world order of things
that’s not even the reason
Plenty of rap albums are this long track wise. Unless it’s like Chris brown level idk if it’s for the streams per se
@kefkapalazzo1
And virtually all those albums are bloated and needed to be trimmed before release to make a solid album w/o the filler
The strategy is to put out a variety as some people will like other songs that other people don't like. It's like a shotgun approach. I only found like 2 songs I liked. But other liked more
I dont even know what i would want uzi to make at this point but when they go in so many different directions and it doesn’t feel like they have nailed what they want to go for, it’s hard to come back to it really
I feel like the track list could have been listed way better as well. It kinda sounds all over the place from genre to genre.
Should’ve made it a double album and had the first side as his typical hip hop stuff and had the second side as the rock stuff
That's how it sounds the first few listens but after a while u get how it flows. It starts out with hype rager songs then goes to singing emotional songs then metal then classic uzi.
The album does have a flow
I always wondered what a trash album would be..i always felt like i like some maybe 1 or 2 songs of evry album i think is bad..BUT THIS IS TRULY A TRASH ALBUM
Fr
The 4 track run of 4+ minute tracks was wild. Absolutely did not need that much Uzi in 4 tracks I’m ngl. But like you said, some really good spots within those tracks, just needed to be condensed.
best take on youtube of this album 💯
It’s crazy cause all the snippets and build up towards this album was advertising a completely different vibe. Remember demon high and the psycho leak like what happened to all that??
Whoever told uzi that the pink tape was gonna be his best project was capping out their ass

I stopped watching once you said Travis had a good verse. Dude said “Hit her make her do the griddy.” Travis features are on an incredibly bad run
He didn’t say Travis had a good verse he said it was at least better than Uzi’s and even then he said that was an extremely low bar to pass. Listen next time
pussy and millions, trance, open arms, ring ring, embarrassed are all great idk what you going on about 😭
Uzi did not say shit on that songs at all. I really feel like this album is meant for a stage presence
That’s a bar wym
I was introduced to some of the tracks a couple of days ago, because I saw Uzi live at the Splash festival. It was such a wild experience listening to the new album at the same day it dropped, but now after I listened to it in the comfort of my home, it realy aint it. I totaly get your point Shawn

@@michaelmaguire4374I think he means in the long term. It has no replay value. Even his meat riders such as yourself will barely listen to this again. It's sad how many yes men there are supporting these artists. That's why they never evolve or do better

I am mixed about it. Because pretty much all of these songs are really good to work out to or listen to live and the sampling and beats is insane on this album. But uzi doesn’t have no variety on the album. It doesn’t sound like a rock album to me it sounds like a hard modern rap album. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But I’m only going to be listening to this while I’m hooping or working out 5/10 for me EDIT: Werewolf is fire
werewolf is fire but not bc uzi
Bruh, what? No variety? He's switching his flow up every other track. That's one of it's biggest positives.
Played this album in the gym and it definitely hit better than it did in the car.
Yeah why this album isn’t bad to me. Listening to it in the gym gives you that, “I’m bout to murder this workout vibes.”
miss when Shawn used to list his fave songs below
13:48 I actually personally feel like this is Uzi’s ‘essential’ album. Definitely not inauthentic, he’s just older person who still love younger ideals (Loud music, scripted wrestling, Dance Dance Revolution, Punk Rock, ambiguous feelings towards the world etc).
Nakamura is dope to have as a performance record. I’m surprise the WWE or Nakamura cleared it 😂.
6/26 is wild u hating n ur music taste buns
For me this shit is so all over the place that I don't even think I can enjoy it from start to finish. I'll just nitpick a few songs (maybe) and run those on a shuffled playlist.
Werewolf is the only good song on this album and it sounds like it’s part of another album .
I think we got in over our heads with rappers from the SoundCloud era. Some did grow but most of them can't hold it down for a full length project
IMO, the wave of having 20+ tracks projects instead of solid 12-15 track projects needs to stop. To me it's what's ruining them as assists
Hopefully Utopia will save us from this dry ass year for rap music🙏
Or maybe the game is changing. Trap ain’t all that anymore and ppl aren’t realizing it, rappers and trap fans themselves. Ppl like trap less than they think they do rn. The game’s gonna change a lot in like 3 years.

Everything Shawn said on this review was true. This album someone with Uzis caliber & the resources he has/could get is very generic to me. Album feels like he made this in a week. Alot of the songs play out far too long making them boring. Beats are generic with a few exceptions. On the werewolf & the end track (my favourites btw) feels like uzi should've been the feature. And lets not talk about the CS (Chop Suey) cover.. why does that even exist I get hes tryna be experimental & shit but its on the final cut of the album?? really?
I personally fw most of the album, but I understand all of your criticism for it 😂 shit sounds like a rough draft of something that could’ve been great, but it’s just kinda all over the place. I like weird ass music, so this was decent to me lol
Also that Chop Suey cover was straight Dookie butter. Uzi should be ashamed of himself😢
Bro said 😶😶😶
Real ones remember the fire alarm sample from the 2K13 soundtrack 🔥
I knew that song just from being into edm back in the early 2010s but either way made the song sooo much harder knowing the song
Uzi is likely experimenting with sounds and genres for his own enjoyment. Nothing serious, just the vibe i received after listening.
Shawn is actually one of the biggest haters like every album has to be near perfect for him to say it’s good. He ain’t even a rap fan tbh he always is complaining that it’s so bad.
It’s an ALBUM!!!!! Not an ep, mixtape or just some throwaways imagine if you had to pay for this shit

Exactly 😭😂 just biting carti 💀
It’s so sad to see Uzi, a pioneer in alternative rap, be reduced to biting his contemporaries😕
That apartment to mansion analogy from Shawn was super interesting. Very cool way of looking at the record
I love that I can't tell when you're about to compliment a song or shit on it🤣
fw this album a lot, don't really see where the WLR are coming from but this definitely a more fun first listen to me if i had to pick
For everyone saying it’s going to grow on people like WLR, you’re just wrong. If you like it of course you are perfectly justified but I’ve heard this about every Uzi project since LUV is Rage 2. Let’s be real Uzi bit Carti for most of the first half of the album with nothing unique outside of a few adlibs. The reason why WLR wasn’t praised until later is the same reason as Yeezus MOTM 808’s and so many more albums weren’t because they were experimental mainstream albums that are completely unconventional that it took a while for people to get behind. WLR introduced a type of trap punk that hadn’t been promoted before on a mainstream scale and look at the influence it’s had already. This album won’t have any influence and there’s nothing innovative about what Uzis doing at all other than the track “Just wanna rock” which was unique beat and performance wise and this was something I was hoping to hear more of here but there wasn’t anything. Y’all said the same shit with Eternal Attake and people don’t seem to be listening to that now or have changed their opinions on it. If you like it fair enough but the “you don’t understand it” “everyone’s going to change their mind” comments are so annoying.
“Just Wanna Rock” was a single…? It’s barely an interlude
I feel you
I completely agree. The “experimental” aspects of the album were literally just covers of songs that were already made. With uzi adlibs. Not creative at all or experimental.
EA went hard, fuck the narrative that it didn’t
Be quiet it’ll grow on people later
Nakamura and the BabyMetal tracks were my favorite parts of the record, so crazy, so out’ve left field
