tell me about it 😳

Man said 100 gecs

what’s wrong with being iconic as a rap artist? this post + the title of this thread makes it seem like you don’t think it’s iconic to be an iconic rapper.

you acknowledge he’s an icon as a rap artist but say he’s not an icon. how does that make sense unless you don’t respect rap as an art form?

nah you're twisting it lol
he's already respected obviously
I'm saying it seems like he wants to be even bigger as an artist and he definitely could be, but he should branch out musically to get there
I named 2 artists who happened to be white but only bc Grimes already teased collabing w Uzi and 100 gecs have a remix of shoota, and they all have overlapping fanbases

Wasn't even gonna mention Marilyn Manson

Stop pushing these white artists

agreed

Thread wants Uzi to shut up and rap and at the same time call OP racist for wanting Uzi to branch out

not today M2

you're making a strawman argument lol I literally only listened to Big Pun Dipset Jay Nas 50 Wayne Ye etc until I was like 12

You can be an icon in whatever genre and I would agree that he is in rap but that doesn't necessarily mean you're recognized as an icon across genres or are a household name (thinking about Wayne here)
Plenty of rappers have done it and it doesn't have to mean sacrificing their core audience, what made them popular in the first place, or their integrity

Eternal Atake but with a Modus Vivendi extremity would be fire

he rly said this unironically

Should collaborate with ybn nahmir lol

Uzi need to evolve

This thread is racist

but how does that equate to icon status though?? you say that like this is obviously every artist’s goal, to move away from rap and make music that suburban soccer moms listen to.

you’re completely forgetting that when Wayne picked up a guitar, he got s*** on from rap fans AND from rock fans alike for it. he didn’t reach icon status by branching out to other genres, he was unanimously clowned for it. he reached icon status by making rap that was so good he became the standard for pop. Lollipop was not a pop song, it was a rap song that shifted the definition of what pop sounds like. Wayne made How To Love later on, but it didn’t make him an icon because he was already a cemented legend long before that.

I get why people are hating on the idea of him needing to work with cacs but I actually do think 100 gecs would be a great match.

A lot of rappers have this problem though today, their aesthetic implies some artsy s*** but their music doesn’t correlate with it

The reality is this is what happens when you’re surface level and pseudo. There’s nothing that can really be done to fix the fact that the “artist” ain’t into the art like that and is likely as substanceless inside as their music is

crine why does this being in the exact same cadence as ‘not today Satan’ make sense

that would be sick no jk

😭

This,

His sound is played out asf.

I need him to make a full tape with metro

Idk I think just rapping is his strong suit.

My point is Uzi doesn't even have songs like Lollipop, How to Love etc
He came up in a time of SoundCloud artists where production carried everything so it's easy for him to stick to one format

You're the one assuming he has to assimilate to whiteness to become a bigger artist but even Wayne branched out to collab with non rap artists like Wyclef, Akon, Usher, Bobby Valentino, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Kelly Rowland, Romeo Santos
