Two buzzed-about rap albums released within three days of each other, Pink Tape by Lil Uzi Vert and Ganger by Veeze are a study in contrasts. One is a major release by an A-list rapper off the success of his biggest hit yet, and the other is a head’s dream release, thought never to be released by a man who’s made his living off IG snippets. So it makes sense as to why the reactions on socials were so dissimilar. Yet, I’m unsure how that’s fair to both Uzi and Veeze, placing one under fire and the other blissfully out of harm’s way.
no hate, but i’m gonna call this a miss. i can’t say pink tape is my favorite album but it’s a mix of classic uzi and experimental shit. to say that it’s a terrible album is kind of bad taste, it’s quickly growing on me and to compare it to veeze and just marking it as bad is a dumb opinion tbh. great article though 👌
