That\u2019s 97 weeks and 3 days. 16,368 hours. 982,080 minutes. 58,924,800 seconds, all without a new body of work from the Philadelphia rapper. For well-adjusted people, or those who remember music releases pre-streaming, less than two years between projects seems standard. For less rational Lil Uzi Vert fans, the wait for <em>Eternal Atake<\/em> seems, well, eternal. The incessant leaks are exacerbating the anticipation, and the outrage every time the project is pushed back is getting palpable. I, however, have a question: Even if his next album lives up to fan expectations, could it deliver more than the pure Lil Uzi content we\u2019ve been gifted with over the past few months?<\/p>\n<p>There is an Uzi for every season. Sports Uzi delivers steals and layups on New York City basketball courts, or nonchalantly says \u201cYou know, just casually playing baseball\u201d in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LUVTheAlbumOG\/status\/1144040647176990722\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">batting cages<\/a>. Acrobatic Uzi practices ninjutsu, breakdances in the streets, and allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/columns\/hip-hop\/8459077\/lil-uzi-vert-rich-the-kid-fight-video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">runs up on Rich The Kid<\/a>. Even the most mundane Lil Uzi activities \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yhcunrzmyRE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">entering a store<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DimON5yYDT8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">leaving a store<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzJTIsDpbU6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">standing for a photograph<\/a> \u2014 drip with an endearing charm before getting launched into the meme cycle. I would wager that watching Uzi videos on a loop has delivered more joy into the universe than the last three songs he\u2019s officially released (and that\u2019s not a knock on the songs as much as an endorsement of Lil Uzi Vert memes).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.2631578947368\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">Lil Uzi Vert out on the streets <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LCwSCqvOtN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/LCwSCqvOtN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 LIL UZI VERT FANPAGE (@LUVTheAlbumOG) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LUVTheAlbumOG\/status\/1144663149985107968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">June 28, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For a certain subset of the internet, Lil Uzi Vert is bigger than the album cycle.
