Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
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.
-
DJ Booth
I think Love Is Rage 2 has potential to be the blueprint that all the new rockstar rappers follow.
-
Consequence of Sound
Philly rapper offers a thicket of chart-climbing Auto-Tunes on his full-length debut
-
Hot New Hip Hop
All Lil Uzi Vert wanted was to get over his ex-girlfriend, and along the way he made a definitive piece for his fellow generation to relate to.
-
Highs Nobiety
the album sets out to solidify Uzi’s place as a rockstar in public consciousness.
-
Beat Media
I think that even though a lot of people like his songs because they can just have a good time and vibe out to it, it would have been nice to see more growth in him as an artist because after a few songs they all started to sound the same.
-
The Hoya
From start to finish, the album is full of hit songs, from more slow-paced, ruminative tracks to dance-floor bangers. Lil Uzi Vert brilliantly delves into his emotional state with thoughtful lyrics and passion.
-
The Ratings Game
Maybe the production on the album failed to do him justice, or maybe the sounds will get better with time – I don’t quite know, but what I do know is that I wasn’t impressed with this album at all.
-
The Young Folks
There are definitely some aspects here where we see that fiery energy from Uzi, but this is sadly, rarely on display.
-
Amino Apps
Lots of songs are stretched out and lots of things repeated over and over but when the song was good it was insanely good such as XO tour life and unfazed.
-
All Music
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.
-
RMIT Catalyst
with Luv is Rage 2 he blesses us with a proper sequel, a cultivation of his rockstar aesthetic into an introspective grappling with where he was, where he is now, and where he’ll go from here—to the stars, it seems.
-
The DM Online
“Luv Is Rage 2” is no lyrical masterpiece. Rather, it is a canvas coated in colorful splashes. Lil Uzi’s musical direction is vivid yet without form as he attempts to channel his inner rocker.
-
Immortal Reviews
Lil Uzi Vert keeps things fresh on Luv Is Rage 2 and keeps rolling throughout the entire album with fresh and even fun songs.
-
Sputnik Music
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.

-
Hip Hop-n-More
Luv Is Rage 2 is a decent project from an artist that plans on making his name known everywhere before the end of his music career.
-
Raven Report
this album felt like one of the most complete projects that Uzi has released to date, and even if you are not a hip hop fan, it is worth your time to give it a listen, even if only to see what all the hype is about.
-
The Musical Hype
Lil Uzi Vert showcases his idiosyncrasies and potential on his proper debut album, ‘Luv is Rage 2.’ Unfortunately, the LP falls short of the glory.
-
Amino Apps
Wow this was a shit album.
-
Cotma Sounds
As a whole, Luv is Rage 2 is a more than adequate sequel to the original project.
-
Diamond in the Groove
Ultimately, it would seem that, whilst many MCs strive to make a definitive, striking statement with their debut records, Lil Uzi Vert has put little to no effort into advancing his artistry in any significant way on Luv Is Rage 2.
-
CL Tampa
While not a rap album, Luv is Rage 2 is one of the better surprises of 2017.
-
True Too
The production is almost always bland and predictable, the subject matter is repetitive and tiresome, and his tedious voice and nasally flow doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest
-
The Rotunda Online
this album was okay; it definitely bumps in the whip, so if you enjoy heavy bass, you'd enjoy this album.
-
Focus Hip Hop
So I guess if you’re a fan, you’ll eat this shit up. I personally hope I never hear anything like this ever again tho. It’s really fucking bad.
-
Elevator Magazine
Though it could use some slight trimming, Luv Is Rage 2 is a worthy successor of Luv is Rage. It encapsulates what fans have grown to love about Uzi and also introduces new aspects of his character to further his own growth.
-
Revolt
Luv Is Rage 2 successfully reveals Uzi's unmatched eclectic persona and musical style, so while Uzi may have been in the category of "Soundcloud Rappers," this LP proves he is living in the future of rap.
-
Vidette Online
Now at the height of his stardom, “Luv is Rage 2” showcases the best production and lyrical relatability fans have heard from Uzi so far.
-
WZND
Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of Lil Uzi Vert, but Luv Is Rage 2 goes pretty hard. If you haven’t yet, listen to his album. It’s pretty worthwhile.
-
963 The Block
So...I know I said this next artist was wack, but his latest album is not as bad as I thought.
-
Travis Rebel News
This was an amazing album and would recommend it to anyone.
-
The Needle Drop
Lil Uzi Vert's debut studio album is the musical equivalent to binge eating Sour Patch Kids.
-
The Music Ninja
Overall this album was good but it’s not Uzi’s best work.
-
Top 5 Rap Website
Luv Is Rage 2 successfully solidifies Lil Uzi Vert as a capable rapper and songwriter.

Albany Student press
Many will say “Luv is Rage 2” is not Uzi’s best project but it is a great album nonetheless
-
The Fresh Committee
All in all, Luv is Rage 2 is more of the same from Uzi. Which, I believe, is exactly what needed to be present on his debut studio album.
-
the Anikatsuki
Luv Is Rage 2 is a fine album that sets itself apart from the original by having a different vibe.
-
Hyperallergic
Yelping, crooning, adjusting the glitter in his voice to the glitter of the beat, he’s the rare artist whose creative urge is to revel in beauty.
-
The Collegian
It was a solid project with great vocals and beats, with the major flaws being inconsistent themes and lackluster lyrics.
-
Medium
Luv Is Rage 2 is a fair album that does very little to move the needle forward.
-
Beat
By the time the moody mega-hit XO TOUR LIF3 closes the album, it’s plainly obvious that Lil Uzi Vert is no gimmick – in fact, he may very well be the future.
-
Popped Cherry
All in all, it was a nice introduction of Uzi for people who may have never really listened to his music, but it’s all really surface level material.
-
Ruff Draft
Overall, “Luv is Rage 2” is the best album Lil Uzi Vert has ever released to the world and I am very excited to see what he plans to do to follow up on it.
-
Miccheque
So unfortunately, the high expectations were not met for the long-awaited Luv Is Rage 2. It heavily lacks the imagination and charisma that made Lil Uzi Vert so likeable.
-
Gig Soup Music
‘Luv Is Rage 2’ is the musical culmination of a lifestyle and character that’s uniquely Lil Uzi Vert, and no one else.
-
Culture
Luv Is Rage 2 has Uzi continuing on his path to show a level of uniqueness that nobody in the hip-hop game has right now.
-
Crimson Crier News
Once the announcement was made, every Lil Uzi fan started the countdown until midnight. Sadly, many, including me, thought it was a letdown and one of Uzi’s worst tapes so far.
-
Range View Raiders
Luv is Rage 2 is professionally and creatively produced, usually accompanied by darker undertones than what would otherwise appear to be a catchy, fun album.
-
Drill King
The project is just great and I’m still replaying it like if it just came out.

LUV Is Rage 2 Is The Album That Solidifies Lil Uzi as Hip-Hop’s True Rockstar
-
Metal Life Style
The production is amazing, Uzi’s personality is on full display, and despite a lackluster Pharrell feature, it’s an artistic accomplishment to judge other trap-rap by. I’m excited to see where Lil Uzi Vert can go from here.
-
Knightly News
The most striking aspect of this album is its incredible versatility. Uzi shows his adept skill as a mainstream rapper and his ability to intertwine his influences into his music.
-
Bens Beat
Uzi is a very strange artist. Sometimes the exact thing that makes one track so great crashes and burns in another. Ever so often he strikes absolute gold, but he has a lot of work to do on the consistency front.
-
Obey the Subliminal Word
LUV is Rage 2 is dark, real, revealing and relatable.In a world, filled with hatred, racism and violence, LUV is Rage 2 is an hour long escape from the world around you as well as a journey inside the mind of a 22nd century rockstar from “The Lost Part of Earth”
