LIL UZI VERT Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World SEALED 180 Gram LP Neon Green Vinyl VMP

Description: LIL UZI VERT Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World hails from 2022 and is a SEALED exclusive 180 Gram LP issued on Neon Green Vinyl from VMP. Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World is the third mixtape by the digital-age rap trailblazer. The most striking thing about Lil Uzi vs. The World, his breakthrough mixtape, is how thoroughly 21st Century it sounds. In contrast to the scourge of Conscious rap regurgitating the 90’s, Uzi might be the first rapper whose influences are exclusively post Y2K; Trap music is the obvious bed rock of the mixtape, but its chilly autotuned crooning recalls 808s and Heartbreak and its darkly polished vibe brings to mind the hormonal rush of 2000’s angst rock. A cursory listen reveals that Uzi is not a particularly innovative artist, as he mostly works within the conventions established by Future and Young Thug, but he is a refinement of the new school sound. He cuts out the more annoying aspects of his contemporaries (Futures penchant for sludgy monotony, Thugs sometimes annoying vocal tics) and adds a real ear for forceful hooks, as well as a colorful selection of beats that charge at punk speed.Songs like “Canadian Goose” and hit single “Money Longer” showcase Uzi at his best; catchy and ridiculous, buoyed by beats that sound straight out of a Square game, were the only thing that matters is the joy of hearing the human voice contorted in fascinating ways. The other songs find different variations of this formula, as songs like ‘Team Rocket” are compact and concise, with a limitless smorgasbord of sugary melodies. The only true clunker is closer “Scott and Ramona” a pillow-ey cloud rap ballad that aims for a kind of emotional depth that Uzi is unsuited for. Its placement at the end of the set prevents it from slowing the careening momentum, and the short, focused track-list keeps Uzis (sometimes limited) tendencies from becoming boring.“Real hip-hop” fans won’t find much to like about Lil Uzi vs. The World, his wordplay as an MC is substandard and its themes are the definition of juvenile. But those calling it a “disgrace to hip-hop” are missing the point since this ain’t hip-hop, it’s the next evolution of Vocal Music. Lil Uzi, Lil Yachty and everyone else on the 2016 Freshman list aren’t trying to make the next Illmatic, they live in a “Post-autotune” reality where the human voice is simply another beat to be edited in a digital symphony of internet age instrumental music.
