Yachty is okay, I've heard some features of his that I liked, but overall he's just kind of mediocre.

 

Used to hate yachty but ive given him a fair chance and his new stuff is enjoyable

 

sophos cmon brah

lil boat is amazing

 

please tell me people here like lil uzi

for gods sakes

 

i was searching tidal one day and came across his album lil boat

was pretty impressed with the album

first impression was like chief keef mixed with lil b

which is fucking incredible to me

 

definitely

 

Yachty tape is a lot of fun, get a lot of plays out of it recently. Uzi is better

 

yea its a toss up for me between the two

Ive been bumpin more uzi in the car though

 

uzi is good

 

yachty is just boring and not very talented

 

uzi is amazing

the yacht's cool - I like that Mario 64 track quite a bit, and the mixtape in general

 

Theres a lot of dope melodies on the tape

 

Uzi is fine but to me he's just kinda a keef rehash it's not thrilling or anything

 

I respectfully disagree, he is a lot more melodically inclined and nuanced (at least on vs the world)

 

no and no

 

respectfully of course

 

I mean his whole thing is based on Keef. Keef left that behind - kind of, he still has insane knack for hooks (see: Almighty DP) - but all Uzi is really doing is picking up where he left off a couple years ago and getting more attention and respect than keef did at the time bc he plays the industry game.

 

I agree with both sentiments, but I don't think that's a bad thing - if he knows how to play the game, more pwr to him

 

Yeah I mean I like Uzi. I think he's got a lot of potential. Just right now that's all I've got for him is all.

 

I also love all things Scott Piligrim-worship so there haha

 

I do like how he kind of represents this pop intersection of being hard or w/e and shit like Scott Pilgrim, his jacket in the xxl freestyle was wacky haha

 

this was my first time hearing broccoli and that is a jam. DRAM just makes such great music.

 

Yeah I don't usually like Yachty but Broccoli is so damn good

 

Anyone watch this Awful Records Doc, it's pretty great.

I'm gonna say that starting at 25:00, rapper SlugChrist compares the 90s to the Renaissance and the current wave of new artists to the Impressionists, trying to simplify art. I'd argue that Yachty's music is the perfect example of this kind of seemingly simplistic wave of rap.
