    But in 2020 it really feels like Uzi is phoning it in and is out of touch. Same producers, same melodies, features he is putting little to no effort into. EA and LUVTW2 were nice but there was a huge wait for those and the Future collabs didn't do anything at all (I liked Patek but Over Your Head is the perfect example of why Uzi is failing in 2020). It's nice he snuck us TDA as another loosie but man I really think he needs to stay out the studio and enjoy life for a while (which it does seem like too he's been riding around Philly a ton).

    Where Thug x Keed succeeded with Proud Of You (taking an old leak from one artist and re-spinning it for the new artist) Uzi and Tecca completely failed with Dolly and I think that has a lot to do with Uzi's mentality about his "old music". We saw what happened with LUVTW2 where he didn't even try to get the songs mixed appropriately or just release them as is like they were in the snippets, or adding pointless s*** (Why did he have to add s*** to Come This Way and remove the original 2nd verse on Myron). Plus he completely reworked Fast As You Can which to me is like this idea that "Oh I can do it better now" but no you can't (Baby Pluto is a very good song but I think Fast As You Can would have been better).

    This Dolly remix though is the most confusing thing man, you have a great leak with a catchy chorus and good verses and you don't keep any of it besides some of the melodies???? And then record a new verse which is worse than Tecca's and all the verses from the OG???

    I pray this is just a phase or that he gets re-inspired cause right now I'm just bored with it and it seems like Uzi is not only falling into mediocrity but also tarnishing the older more enjoyable parts of his career as time goes on.
