Look at MTV's hottest MCs list, Wiz was not even mentioned. Wiz released his album this year and only sold 50,000 copies first week. There's no reason Wiz should be doing less than 100 thousand, especially when he had that see you again single.

Its a big difference between hot & established

Wiz is still a way bigger artist than him & made like 17 mil this yr maybe more or lil less but still he's a check writer

Uzi probably barely getting up front money

The point I was trying to make is that if Uzi were not already signed to Wiz what would be the point of UZi signing to him now? It'd be like 21 savage signing to Rick Ross. Last year, when Uzi wasn't really known, yes of course he should sign to Wiz (which is apparently what happened)

He was signed the whole time. His buzz was created with and with out wiz help so why y'all care where he signed. I'm sure off experience and pass bizness he wanted to be down lol. He made money off 2 wiz tours. Free Kevin gates. He was on tour with dude courtesy of Atlantic and was caking

Lol @ uzi writing for wiz like wiz got some super dope lyrics. I think some of yall need to stay off the internet & go outside.

quote me next time bytch:pacspit:

Yall really watched Drake get flows handed to him and getting amnesia about it. Act like ghostwriting doesn't happen when you just saw it happen:mjlol:

There's even a vid of Thug showing one of the migos how to flow on a song.

Fact is, Uzi is a young creative, new to the game. Wiz is washed and it's totally not out of the question for him to take some notes (or more) from Uzi. Use your head, breh. Why wouldn't Wiz want to take a piece of the wave?

I just knew drake would somehow get included :mjlol: yea wiz is using uzi as a ghostwriter. Have you heard lil uzi music? Who the fukk would want him to write for them? :mjlol: and my comment wasn't directed towards anyone , i was speaking in general but if the shoe fits...

Bad move. Hopefully this doesn't stifle him creatively or basically give Wiz a free new ghostwriter, because everyone else on TG besides Juicy isn't even worth talking about and gets near 0 buzz (besides Ty Dolla $ign who's just boring and had his own platform prior to signing anyway).

TG revitalized Juicy.... and this is better than signing to certain OWL emblem label:mjpls:

You mean he was already signed to Taylor gang.


Another plant another exposal,......

I wouldn't say plant, he was already on a major label Atlantic records through Drama and Cannon for the past years.
This is just a strategic marketing move since Taylor Gang is on Atlantic.

I did wonder how he had wiz on Queso when he was a nobody.....that was on that first project luv is rage
He wasn't a nobody, he was already working with Drama and Cannon. He started buzzing off his first project, The Real Uzi, because of the Drama and Cannon co-sign

Edit: I'm pretty sure WDYW was already out before Luv is Rage too, and that song put him on another level
