    RIP_Actavis

    He has absolutely boxed himself into a corner

    You can even detect the insecurity in the way he carries himself these days, it’s like deep-down he knows

    He was on top of the world post-LIR2, and you saw the reflected in his behaviour and outwardness

    Everything just feels so directionless currently

    I'm praying for a return, but things are looking a little grim. Like you said he's boxed in, and outside of making something extremely different from anything hes made thus far, I just dont see how new and old fans alike can celebrate it. The Carti and Uzi trajectories have just been complete opposites and we see where playing it safe ends you up comparing to pushing things forward.

  • It physically hurts to see uzi fall off like this I thought when luv is rage 2 dropped it was eh and we’d keep getting better and now I’m wondering if we’ll get anything close to that quality

    Brother this is a whole mess, if this s*** really does flop even harder (looking bad rn) we might have a whole delay and restart

    Could play this off as a random single and just move beyond it but it seemed like the lead single unfortunately.

    I just think there is almost no winning at this point really. Go back to old style, new fans get turned off, long time fans who want progress are out, old fans love it and immediately forget about it and it tanks after. Mostly rapping didn't work with half of EA and Fewtch collab, Fewtch collab specifically did poorly. Now we seem to be on the hard melodic and its just what every other rapper has been doing since he helped inspire it years ago so its a resounding thud when he makes a step he should have taken years ago before others ran with it and ran it into the ground.

    And the detractors are just getting louder, the lead single is just a slap in the face to everyone besides the most casual fans and actual children. No appeal to the fans that want the rap, no appeal to the OGs who want songs that rival his older music, even the casuals seem to be ignoring it so its looking VERY bad.

    Video and song aren't even meme worthy so theres no chance for it to blow in an unintended way. I just dont see a way that theres a redemption and reinvigoration in the near future without a surprise drop and the quality of the tracks are just great all around. I think if any of it can be seen as mid (or even bad), people are gonna s*** on it and give up. EA is absolutely the hard turning point where the hate became apparent but if this s*** doesn't prove the haters wrong, we are on the hard spiral downwards.

    I just don't see any progress and clearly the people in his circle arn't challenging him anymore. Its just so bizarre with Uzi taking the fan criticism to heart, how he can be coming like this. Worst part is so many good songs have been previewed and we just never seem to get the majority of them. Outside LUVTW2, snippets are basically a death sentence for any of these songs releasing nowadays.

    Will you f***ing calm down, Jesus Christ, it's music.

    It's not the end of the world.
    Some people just trash, it is what it is.
    Just listen to someone else if you've lost hope

    ‘Don’t talk about music on a music forum!’

    Stop being so apathetic, while we understand it is just music and life goes on, it’s upsetting to see an artist you once cherished because of the quality of music begin to lose sight of what made them great

  • Nov 2, 2021

    calm down y’all, 1 mid single isn’t a big deal. Uzi hasn’t dropped a bad project yet and I’m confident that’ll continue

    Aye man I really don’t feel any type of way but a little disappointment in reality. Anything could happen, I was just laying out the situation as is currently. It is just music, and at the end of the day that’s all that actually matters, but if the music ain’t good than things are in a rough state. It’s just one song tho, full release could be great and I anticipate it still, just don’t see a easy path for Uzi to repair his standing with the listeners old and new really

    See ion get this tho. I’m still a massive fan and want to see him reach his greatest heights again in the eyes of the listeners AND for the music to be great too. I think the music can be there, I just don’t see how people return to loving him again easily who are on the hate train currently. As long as the music is good I’ll keep peeping and while we’ve definitely had some dud songs, I don’t think he’s released an all around bad project yet so until that day comes where we are getting much more bad then good, I’m here for the ride. That’s just not the reality for most tho, fans are fickle and do what’s trendy and while I may stick it out through this, lots of people are tuning out (and the numbers for the single show). I think looking at what’s happening in reality and praying on a downfall are completely separate and there’s definitely people who want him to fall off but I’m quite the opposite and many of the people itt are too. Most of us here just want great music and to be able to enjoy it and discuss it together, that’s what this is all about.

    This fake song made from an IG snippet posted on a fake Uzi youtube page (also deleted once and now reuploaded) had almost 3 mil views the first week it dropped and Uzi's promoted official lead single hasn't even broke 2 mil in half a week, this s*** is actually embarrassing man.

    i think this is more a thing of promo + yt algorithm luck. If he wanted the most successful post-EA single, pluto to mars would have probably been the best move lol

    You are right, to be fair.
    I just want people to wait for the tape before throwing "fell off" everywhere

    Aight off the negative wave now, just listened to one of the most underrated Uzi leaks from the last few years. The flows and switches are so nice, it’s simple but great at the same time

  • Nov 2, 2021

    Can't Feel My Body, Space Cadet, Final Fantasy, Denim Tears and It's A 40 gonna be replayed 24/7 when this s*** drop

  • Nov 2, 2021

    its crazy how uninterested i am in uzi nowadays. Main thing i think is that his voice, lyrics, melodys, and flows have declined. His voice is just more nasally or some nowadays idk. His lyrics also arent as fun as they used to be. Melodies arent as infectious

    I mean it exists for one specific reason, so many people just wanted another XO, it isn’t a good reason or a fulfilling one but at the most base level I get it.
