    Again, he has made another record that will stay close to the hearts of a generation of rap fans. He is surely our generation’s Lil Wayne.

    Lil Uzi Vert made an event album, where the main attraction is flex raps and production that builds on its roots. Not even two years (an eternity in rap) was able to hold back Eternal Atake, an album that will be chased for years to come.

    Eternal Atake has moments of heartfelt candor, including “Chrome Heart Tags” and “Spread the Bag”. LUV Vs. the World 2 doesn’t really. There’s no equivalent to the “Never Bend” remix from 2018, which hinted at a world of hurt behind the “project walls.”

    Lee’s sound design—the rush of Uzi getting sucked into a portal, the hum of the spaceship engine, the unsettling, pulsating rumble coming from the great beyond—co-exists seamlessly with the album’s production. It creates narrative tension and helps create a broader cosmic context for his sex marathons and shopping sprees, for the great eccentric force with which he raps and sings.

    It is part old-fashioned bluster, part flamboyant style exercise, all rowdy thrill.

    Even though it's a lengthy journey and some of the songs start to feel similar, nothing here is filler.

    If you absolutely can not stand rappers who should be called singers then you need to take a hard pass on Vert, but if you occasionally (or more often than that) enjoy the crooning, Vert is at least someone who can put it together in a way that is surprisingly decent and occasionally quite good.

    Glad that it didn’t flop, it went above and beyond the already high Expectations I had.

    The best part about Eternal Atake is that you discover a new sound with every listen.

    So, let me take a guess. Embarrassed that they dismissed/ignored Rodeo, have decided to throw their weight behind every overhyped trap albumSo, let me take a guess. Embarrassed that they dismissed/ignored Rodeo, have decided to throw their weight behind every overhyped trap album on the off-chance that they get embarrassed once again.

    Anyways, this album isn't terrible, but it's nothing to write home about. Just a fairly mediocre listener. A handful of decent tracks, nothing much else to say.    … Expand
