    Despite the long-winded nature of the album, Uzi definitely got it right with Luv Is Rage 2. The songs are catchy, the beats are hot and Uzi gives a vocal performance that redefines the term rap rock star.

    Whether he’s full of joy or howling into the void, he pushes his songs to their edge, which helps to deliver on the promise shown in his earlier work.

    Nearly every song on Luv Is Rage 2 comes with a distinct enough hook to break up the limited set of things it does and subjects it ponders.

    Luv Is Rage 2 is proof that Lil Uzi Vert is simply an artist who succeeds in makes music he loves, for people that hold tightly to his carpe-diem attitude.

    Although Uzi's post-breakup pain rears its head throughout the entirety of the album, many of the tracks are too fun to get too bogged down in emotions.

    The breadth of sounds covered will scan as inconsistency to all but the most pious Uzi devotees, but it’s hard to imagine anything else serving as a more comprehensive document of rap in 2017.

    As for today's singing rappers, Vert fits in comfortably next to the likes of Fetty Wap and French Montana, and I have little qualms with calling him a better writer than the latter. The production is a little bit more of a mixed bag.

    A lot of tracks start off OK, but his flow and style are so unfocused and muddled the songs become a chore to sit through.

It's far from bad but it has to grow on you because it's not like LUV is Rage at all really. He has strong and weak moments as all artists do but his strongest moments are mostly when he sings/raps about real life and goes toward the outer edge of hip hop. Is it his best project? Not really but I can't say yes or no because it really depends on the type of mood you're in when you listen to Uzi as I feel all 3 of his projects are different parts in his story. The intro sucks and Early 20 Rager is questionable (but undeniably hype) but overall, there aren't songs here that I would really consider complete garbage. Neon Guts, The Way Life Goes, XO Tour Lif3 (obviously), Dark Queen, and Sauce it Up are highlights here. Feelings Mutual and For Real are honorable mentions. Bottom line, it may not be your cup of tea but it's almost impossible to not have a song that you keep on repeat. Congrats, Uzi.… Full Review »
