Lil Uzi Vert is known to be an extremely avid sports fan and name-dropping sports stars all over his album. To climax, Uzi switches flows with ease and finishes off every sentence with high pitch squeals and a staccato-ish consistency which is reminiscent of Future’s adlibs in the 2018 track ‘King’s dead.
The rapper’s rhymes sound effortless and his perfectly timed puns referenced forgotten pop culture references including the Yu-Gi-Oh ‘Blue Eyes White Dragon’ reference and a Microsoft Zune over a unique ‘Working on dying’ beat.

Brandon Finessin who produced the track samples a pitched-up twitching effect found in the memorable Windows 97 and XP game ‘Space Cadet 3D Pinball.’ His lyricism definitely was not ‘Straight Bars’ as he tries to claim at the start of the song.įinding the right iconic sample to create a link to the audience is every producer’s dream. However, despite this being a ‘hard’ song to ‘turn up to’, many of his early Soundcloud characteristics were brought out through the mumble nature of the track and the constant repetition of numerous lines. This was another trap induced track with Playboi Carti-esque adlibs drizzled on top like maple syrup on a stack of pancakes. However, the production on the track does not pop enough to make this track stand out unlike… With lyrics like "She looks good, but she wears FashionNova/ took her shoppin, put her right in some Vetements," Uzi shows us that chivalry isn’t dead.

With lyrics like "Up, Up, Uppity" his rhyme scheme is clearly proven to be a cut above the rest of the Soundcloud rappers. Well, this was Lil Uzi’s way of paying homage to the little things in life which mattered and, in this case, this was his favorite Chinese take out meal.
Many listeners questioned why a popular Chinese food order would double as a song title. As per Uzi, it is dubbed the best track he created under this new persona and is sure to have you playing it on repeat before moving onto the rest of the project.
