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. He still might be searching for his magnum opus album but if he keeps putting out projects like this, and growing along the way, Uzi will find his classic sooner rather than later.

The Philadelphia native was always known for his catchy hooks, but on this record he pushes his sound to more mainstream levels.
77
Uzi’s latest project comes very close to delivering on the chaotic, sublime promise of “XO Tour Llif3.” It’s the Philly rapper’s most musically developed work to date.
75
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.
74
The album finds him almost completely ignoring traditional lyricism in favor of warbling emotion, with the result being a sometimes-messy affair that nevertheless maintains a colorful vibe.

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.

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.

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.

Lil Uzi Vert's debut studio album is the musical equivalent to binge eating Sour Patch Kids.
Sometimes, we don’t need trap albums to be longer then 45 minutes.
Lil Uzi Vert is basically a household name at this point. He has countless hits under his belt, and he’s been famous for quite some time. This album is very successful, with a song on this being insanely successful.
In terms of quality, I think this album would be better than a 7/10 if we cut a few tracks from it. It has a lot of bangers, and even more great deep cuts, but some songs are quite forgettable.

Intolerable pop trap. More ad-libs than bars, generic beats, and literally nothing that makes this album stand out, yet again I am dumbfounded by the fact that Lil Uzi Vert is possibly the most popular rapper in the mainstream. He cannot rap and has the emptiest lyrics possible. Sure, he is listened to "for the vibes" but I am yet to find something that is unique or interesting in Uzi's music.
To this day is still Uzi's best album
It will be hard to top this and I think Pink tape would be good I don't think its would be better than this since the highs like Two and Pretty Mami will be hard to beat. A trap classic
Best Tracks: Two, Sauce it Up, No Sleep Leak, The Day Life Goes, UnFazed, Pretty Mami, Dark Queen, XO Tour Life
