Uzi has literally always talked about being a rockstar so I was not shocked by the rager vibes and rock tracks.

I feel like if carti never made wlr pink tape wouldn't even sound like that.

A huge issue with this album is that it’s terribly listed

Uzi stans after the first minute Pink Tape is out: Drop the Deluxe!!!!!!😫😫😫

The album would be 100% better if it was 12 tracks, with an actual theme and continuity, the right vibes (Zoom, Spin Again...) and then make a deluxe called Dark Tape or some shit with all the experimental stuff and features

0:38 - Flooded the Face 1:15 - Suicide Doors 2:36 - Aye (Feat. Travis Scott) 4:23 - Crush Em 5:45 - Amped 6:58 - x2 8:10 - Died and Came Back 8:49 - Spin Again 9:06 - That Fiya 9:48 - I Gotta 10:52 - Endless Fashion (Feat. Nicki Minaj) 12:38 - Mama, I’m Sorry 13:10 - All Alone 13:48 - Nakamura (Skipped) - Just Wanna Rock 15:52 - Fire Alarm 16:22 - CS 17:35 - Werewolf (Feat. Bring Me The Horizon) 19:11 - Pluto to Mars 20:01 - Patience (Feat. Don Toliver) 20:22 - Days Come and Go 21:23 - Rehab 23:35 - The End (Feat. BABYMETAL) 24:45 - Zoom (Bonus Track) 25:20 - Of Course (Bonus Track

Nakamura probably my favorite song on this shit. That anime vibe hit different for me. If the track list was trimmed down the album as a whole coulda been way better

This album is fun af I can’t believe people are hating on the metal features 😂

You know what, I realized after all these years, I'm just not into the new gen rap, and that's aight. I'll explore other genres man

"The perfect timing doesn't exi-" The perfect timing: 2:47

As a retired emo kid, I will fill you in on BMTH…they were originally a deathcore band from the UK, and they’ve been around since MySpace. Their first ep was probably the most hardcore project they put out, suicide season was a more refined version of their first ep, their second album was poorly received, felt like it was the transition album to their 3rd, and by far, best album, sempiternal. That’s where all their tiktok songs came from. Now I ain’t heard them in 10 years, and the fact Uzi knows about them really shows how popular they’ve become. I mean, maybe Uzi knew about them since back then, cause he’s closer to my age, but they were no where near as popular as they are now, and after hearing their newest music, it’s no where near their first works, BUT, this song, “werewolf” was a great song as an introduction for new listeners that have never heard of them. I’m happy to see these new artists like Uzi or Lone show the younger generation another amazing genre, rock n roll baby.

The beat on Fire Alarm is so nasty 🔥

HE DIDNT HATE ON TRAVIS FOR ONCE

I feel like in music atm, a lot of artists are in this grey area of genre crossing. No one seems to be able to do it perfectly* or at least enjoyable for a full length EP... Think they are afraid to alienate their fan base by going too far off the deep end, so their presence seems stagnate over some of the more forward in-to-the genre production that a lot of these albums are going for. I look at it as a learning curve for artists in the entirety... and the reason the albums be so long is they dont know whats gonna work... Yachty has the best effort so far and i truly think its because of his personality and just being able to let go.. figure if this Rock infatuation keeps going maybe in a few years someone will have had the time to craft a really rock/rap infusion.

The album is like a stagnant rollercoaster with a few exciting turns, not loops, just turns.

So upsetting to hear that crazy first track and think this whole album finna go crazy and just be let down

I feel like these are the kind of people that listen to a song and say that it’s the best thing ever. Then they play it until they are tired of hearing it. It’s not good music, but they hype it up like it is

Shawn has just been speaking fax this entire video my exact thoughts. These boring 4 minute tracks that don’t change will sound great live and would even be good if way shorter but they just too long.

Type beat. Type album...

Album is actually refreshing tbh.. Uzi has never disappointed me, they are really good what they do.

Oddly enough, I can tell this album is heavily intended to be performed live at concerts. We'll see what the REAL value of Pink Tape is once he starts the tour in October and videos from the concerts start coming out

I don’t always agree with Shawn but he felt the way I felt about this album. Ehhhhh

26 track is crazy… tough act to follow too!

This album making me listen to past albums to remind myself who he is and what he can do.

Even if you don’t necessarily like the album you have to appreciate Uzi for trying new things and not just doing the same style over and over

Everybody loves this shit until Trippie does it, then it’s a problem

Yeah you'd be amazed at how unbelievably anal metalheads can be over bands like Bring Me The Horizon and BABYMETAL. But over time I think that they've warmed up to them to where now they're pretty much one of the flagship bands for metal. However, I do not think Uzi is a talented enough artist to where he can flesh out those ideas, to the point where it just feels like that whole "rocker" aesthetic that Uzi sports was never meant to be anything more than just that. And that's not to say that he can't express his love for rock in his own unique way, but I just don't think he did enough. The metal cuts feel like he just got official songs from both bands and put them on his album without much contribution. That and that Chop Suey! cover was absolute doo doo water. This album felt like a bunch of pretty cool ideas that Uzi didn't flesh out.

Hella happy w the type of songs that Uzi decided to put on here cuz somebody is gonna get inspired and make some gold from it. Songs like Nakamura and CS tap into a sampling bag thats hella under appreciated but he doesn’t get the full potential out these samples. His actual execution is same as always, when he’s hot it’s great and when he’s not it’s just filler or worse. 6/10…how you have a Chop Suey cover and don’t even do the best part of the song?

I dont even know what i would want uzi to make at this point but when they go in so many different directions and it doesn’t feel like they have nailed what they want to go for, it’s hard to come back to it really

This album reminds me of the saying "Just because someone has tried something new doesn't mean that you have to appreciate them for it"

Not liking All Alone has to be a crime to humanity

Convinced that a lot of y’all in the comments are bots. Just repeating the same shit that you think it’s an 8/10 lord have mercy y’all will defend anything

Nah the “my neck” part synced with Shawn 🔥🔥🔥🤣

2:49 might be the craziest moment in a shawn cee video yet

I think a lot of the tracks would be good to mix in and out of for a DJ because most of them really do only have like 1 or 2 good minutes in them

21:50 this part killed me “you look up and you see ‘oh shit we got ANOTHER minute of nothing’” was the best description.

The 4 track run of 4+ minute tracks was wild. Absolutely did not need that much Uzi in 4 tracks I’m ngl. But like you said, some really good spots within those tracks, just needed to be condensed.

I mostly agree with you. The album was too long and experimental for how little Uzi really brings. He needs to do more and higher quality on his part to make an album like this shine. I really want uzi to do well, but I haven't seen his writing or performance shine in 3 years. I like 3 of the tracks a lot, but the rest feel incomplete imho. (Intro, patience and Zoom)

Definitely meant to listen in concert, would be heat if it was live

He’s so right about just making inspired music just for the fuck of it like i just wanna rock lmao

At first i was just okay on this album, but i kept coming back and it just kept getting better tbh

its gonna grow on him promise. Ngl there has not been a single album except for maybe wlr and some of uzis old albums where i can see i liked first listen. I liked every single song on this album first listen and the rock shit didn't catch me off guard cuz its uzi. Also, because i was into rock and metal for a good moment of my life so i didn't have to adjust to it. From the chop suey cover and bring me horizon feature as well as the babymetal feat i loved it all.

I’m not gonna front, this the most shawn made me laugh within a video LMAOO 😭

I was introduced to some of the tracks a couple of days ago, because I saw Uzi live at the Splash festival. It was such a wild experience listening to the new album at the same day it dropped, but now after I listened to it in the comfort of my home, it realy aint it. I totaly get your point Shawn

I just wanted to say that in the track “Fire Alarm” Uzi is sampling “Stress” by Justice, is not about the classic creepy violin they use in scary movies

I'm definitely getting old then, no idea how anyone past 17 can enjoy this music tbh

insane production throughout the album, so glad he took a step into rock. definitely a album that grows on people. 8/10

I enjoyed about 14/26 songs and will probably return to about 7 over time. It’s possible to just take the good music & dip honestly

Felt the EXACT same way. An insane amount of bloat I remember looking down on “spin again” and thinking holy hell how am I barely halfway through. On top of this a lot of samples and sounds are all just curated terribly on more experimental tracks with uzi notably lacking in contribution.

being a wwe and hiphop fan. the wwe shinsuke nakamura sample is insane and i love it

It's been a minute since Shawn had this much fun from an album! I feel it though. Crazy

I feel like I’m the last year there’s been like 10 songs sampling “I’m blue” and they’re all bad I don’t understand why it keeps happening

Glad somebody keeping it a stack and being honest bout this project cuz ive seen dudes go crazy bout songs before they even start so it aint genuine. But fr thank you for being truthful cuz after listening to it myself AND wit my bm cuz shes been a uzi fan since super saiyan but she didnt even wanna finish it and after me listening to it by myself i literally had to go back to luv is rage 2 to be like "peak"

It’s crazy cause all the snippets and build up towards this album was advertising a completely different vibe. Remember demon high and the psycho leak like what happened to all that??

We need to get back to the point of albums not being over 16 songs long…all this just to get more streams

Anyone who think this more than like a 6/10 at best is smokin rock.

Just happy we got some of the old leaks to drop finally, they sound great!

Put Uzi back on rage beats get him off rock and metal 😭🙏

uzi music always grows on me gotta give it time

Whoever told uzi that the pink tape was gonna be his best project was capping out their ass

I personally love the album. A solid 8/10 and will definitely be in the rotation.

best take on youtube of this album 💯

I stopped watching once you said Travis had a good verse. Dude said “Hit her make her do the griddy.” Travis features are on an incredibly bad run

Nah no way you said Travis did better than Uzi on Aye 🤣🤣🤣 WTF

Man the first 3 tracks had me feeling like this would be my favorite uzi project…

Im convinced this album shouldve been called for d riders only. Cause no one else gon be bumping this

miss when Shawn used to list his fave songs below

That apartment to mansion analogy from Shawn was super interesting. Very cool way of looking at the record

Finally, someone genuine. I felt the same about this album bro, kinda disappointing.

fw this album a lot, don't really see where the WLR are coming from but this definitely a more fun first listen to me if i had to pick

I think we got in over our heads with rappers from the SoundCloud era. Some did grow but most of them can't hold it down for a full length project

I feel like the track list could have been listed way better as well. It kinda sounds all over the place from genre to genre.

Real ones remember the fire alarm sample from the 2K13 soundtrack 🔥

6/26 is wild u hating n ur music taste buns

this is so crazy, this album and wlr have the same effect. you love it so much or you only like a few songs or hate it. no in between. this shit a 9/10 for me that might sound crazy but i fuck with it heavy

I am mixed about it. Because pretty much all of these songs are really good to work out to or listen to live and the sampling and beats is insane on this album. But uzi doesn’t have no variety on the album. It doesn’t sound like a rock album to me it sounds like a hard modern rap album. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But I’m only going to be listening to this while I’m hooping or working out 5/10 for me EDIT: Werewolf is fire

13:48 I actually personally feel like this is Uzi’s ‘essential’ album. Definitely not inauthentic, he’s just older person who still love younger ideals (Loud music, scripted wrestling, Dance Dance Revolution, Punk Rock, ambiguous feelings towards the world etc). Nakamura is dope to have as a performance record. I’m surprise the WWE or Nakamura cleared it 😂.

I’m glad Shawn at least likes Werewolf and gives a little props to Metal/Rock

Nakamura and the BabyMetal tracks were my favorite parts of the record, so crazy, so out’ve left field

This ain’t ain’t for me dawg. At age 26, I think I’ve just outgrown Uzi music🤷🏾‍♂️ I guess this is his version of Lil Wayne’s Rebirth…🗑️🗑️🗑️

Never heard an Uzi song in my life listened to 4 songs off luv is rage right before it dropped. Really liked this album tbh

Yall dont get nakamura. The beat is inspired by the fighter from wwe and his walkout song, when i got it at first i was so hyped

People gonna come back to this album and treat it just like they did wlr

I always wondered what a trash album would be..i always felt like i like some maybe 1 or 2 songs of evry album i think is bad..BUT THIS IS TRULY A TRASH ALBUM

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥gonna back and listen to claim classic

Uzi is likely experimenting with sounds and genres for his own enjoyment. Nothing serious, just the vibe i received after listening.

I love that I can't tell when you're about to compliment a song or shit on it🤣

this is an unbelievable album

i agree w the review but this is definitely the peak of uzis potential. we’re at the bottom of his “unreleased” vault bc there’s nothing left. i saw the cracks in eternal atake. only difference was that there were a handful of gems on there. he just doesn’t have anymore substance to give

Im an huge Uzi fan and tbh i enjoyed the album but i feel like Roc Nation may have had a hand in this albums tracklist. Uzi said there's another album on the way soon (Forever Young) probably.

Lowkey you said everything I said in my reaction, mine just ain't out yet💀

Werewolf is my fav in the album

The main issue is that it feels less like an album and more like a playlist. If there were 12 songs it would be a much more consistent and enjoyable album.

shoutout to Uzi for making the OG Chop Suey sound 10000000x better than it ever has before to me

I love these reactions 😂😂

when im in a shit take competition and my opponent is shawn cee

For me this shit is so all over the place that I don't even think I can enjoy it from start to finish. I'll just nitpick a few songs (maybe) and run those on a shuffled playlist.

Bro funny as hell, same thoughts on the album tho.. and ima fan of Uzi
