00:00Hey, it's Lil Uzi Vert, I'm here with GQ,
00:03and this is my style journey.
00:15How did you get your first pair of skinny jeans?
00:17My first pair of skinnies was my mom's jeans.
00:19Oh, word.
00:20So like, I wear like a longer, like not super oversized,
00:23but the sleeves would be cut short, like just a tee.
00:26But since I was small, if you wear a grown man's small,
00:29it's kind of on.
00:30So I would like have my pants pulled all the way up
00:32so you can't see that it was kind of big,
00:33and I had it on.
00:34That was cool, but like, my dad ain't rock with that.
00:36No, he wasn't on like us getting tattoos.
00:39He ain't let me get piercings.
00:41But my dad, my man, it ain't like, it was a problem.
00:43It became normal after a while.
00:45Like no matter what, no matter what I wear,
00:47no matter like what I say, or how I look,
00:49or how I dance, or what people think about me,
00:51I just think about my family.
00:52My family love everything I do.
00:59I just wanted face tats because I wanted face tats.
01:01I hate when people say, I got a face tats
01:03because I told myself I wasn't going to work a job.
01:06So, but just don't work a job.
01:08Like I just got them because I wanted them.
01:09Like I wanted them.
01:10Like I told you, I look up the Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne.
01:13Why wouldn't I want to look like this?
01:14Like, Wiz Khalifa really was my favorite rapper.
01:16Like everybody know, like Lil Wayne, of course,
01:19but that don't count.
01:20That's like stock.
01:21Like, you know Lil Wayne is that guy.
01:23Like, you know that.
01:24Back then, I was picking like the new guy,
01:27and it was Wiz Khalifa, so that became my favorite rapper.
01:29You know, that was Khali, like they was doing that in Khali.
01:31Like, like the Rejects and Young Sam, Cold Flames.
01:36Like that's who really started the patch.
01:37And they started the piercings.
01:39They started what?
01:40They started the septums, the patch.
01:42They started all that.
01:43They was like the rough gothics of that scene.
01:46My whole body was already bombed.
01:47So I had heard about Gringa because I had saw like,
01:50you know, celebrities going at gym.
01:52So I'm like, oh, I bet.
01:53Then I'm peeping the process of like,
01:55because they, bruh, they would put you to sleep.
01:56Put me to sleep.
01:58I woke up.
01:59My crazy, I went the next day and got the back done.
02:01Got out the way.
02:02I wasn't even supposed to do that.
02:04Bro, I was seeing all types of stuff.
02:06I noticed you hurt.
02:07It's hurt.
02:08I couldn't feel nothing.
02:09I just told you I was seeing all types of stuff.
02:11Hurt.
02:12No, no hurt.
02:13I didn't even, I couldn't even, I didn't even,
02:15I didn't feel like I was on earth.
02:16Y'all probably be like,
02:21Uzi wearing some crazy shit today or something,
02:23but I'm thinking about something totally different.
02:25Like I treat every day like a series, you know?
02:27And sometimes I continue a series that I already started.
02:30And sometimes, you know, I start up a new series,
02:33depending on how I feel.
02:34Head named Barry, I ain't gonna lie,
02:36he definitely showed me a lot of stuff.
02:38Cause I don't be with nobody.
02:39You know, like a lot of people be hating on me.
02:41With fashion, I look at my build and my stature and stuff.
02:44And this is things that I think about on my own.
02:46Like, of course, like the Japanese culture
02:49and just the whole Asian culture in general,
02:51definitely inspires all of my work from music,
02:54from the artistry, from the clothes.
02:56When I dropped last year, I wanted to try something.
02:58Like I went to Japan and really shot that.
03:00That wasn't like CG.
03:01I was in Japan.
03:02Y'all love the color scheme.
03:04I loved the time I took out to like
03:05shoot the little things that I did.
03:07What made you start making everything like a series?
03:09When I started getting money
03:10and I was able to do anything I want.
03:12And I always could do anything I want,
03:13but since y'all watching,
03:15I'm gonna give y'all a show.
03:16Why would y'all want to see me wear the same thing every day?
03:18Or why would y'all want to see me
03:19push the same narrative every day?
03:21That's why y'all got all these other rappers.
03:242016, so y'all was poppin' for real,
03:26but I feel like you took it
03:28and I don't think you peaked it.
03:29I brought it to the hood.
03:30That's all I did.
03:31Cause A$AP Rocky and them, they been doing that.
03:33He been had money before me.
03:34I used to look up to him.
03:35In 2012, I was in school.
03:37And not saying used to, I still look up to him.
03:39I look up to everybody that I ever looked up to,
03:41still look up to him, but you're gonna understand.
03:43It's so much stuff that them type people wear,
03:45like that you would never like.
03:47Me, it's details I miss, you know?
03:49Cause they so ahead of time.
03:51I wasn't ahead of time,
03:52but then I pop out instead of putting Gucci on,
03:54I put on Goyard and I had my wallet sticking out my pocket.
03:56So you can see my wallet.
03:57Cause I couldn't really afford the bag at first.
04:00And then I started getting the bags and shit.
04:01Nobody really started nothing, bro.
04:03Like I ain't, I ain't started.
04:05They, nobody started it, bro.
04:07In the hood, they was able to like, you know,
04:09digest it from me.
04:10Then I made a song with Fabulous called Goyard Bag.
04:13Where like, we had the hood lit with that.
04:15And then everybody was like, turn.
04:19What do you carry around in your Goyard bag?
04:21In here?
04:22Nothing.
04:23Loose leaves.
04:26Even though I'm allergic to chocolate,
04:27still got the cookies and cream flavor.
04:29Crazy, man.
04:30Don't think that's real chocolate.
04:31Um, you know this y'all was like $2,000?
04:36Fuck it, bro.
04:39I got it though.
04:40Some original style.
04:41I ain't gonna lie, I got this from, from Barbie too, bro.
04:45I ain't see a nigga in a minute.
04:47Chanel glasses.
04:49I don't know, bro, I got random stuff in here.
04:51Oh yeah.
04:52I always need this.
04:54I wear all white every day.
04:57Because it's like, I'm being reborn.
04:59After I like, get myself prepared or whatever,
05:01wash up and stuff.
05:02I put on these white clothes or whatever.
05:04I put on these white garments or whatever.
05:06I'm at my freshest form.
05:07Like, I'm brand new.
05:08I'm starting over every day.
05:10Once you get a stand on white, it's soil.
05:13If anything's soil, don't ever try to build on like,
05:16a plan that's really like, you know, already compromised.
05:19Sure.
05:20You know what I mean?
05:21My outfits basically are compromised.
05:23And a lot of people wear the shit that I wear.
05:25So that's why I wear all white.
05:27You wear the rock and pull the pins a lot.
05:29Yeah.
05:29I got original ones and I got new ones.
05:32Like this one is a new one.
05:34This is a new one.
05:35I ain't, like, nobody's yarn was like this.
05:37I got it from Juan.
05:38Ooh.
05:39Yeah, you feel me?
05:40My whole life, I wasted my money spending money at jewelers.
05:44There's no way that you can get pave set from a jeweler and everything is GIA certified.
05:48And if you do have that, you that nigga.
05:51But other than that, the jewelers are really a waste of money.
05:55So the type of chain I'll be making might not happen as fast because I'm trying to get
06:00like a big name to make it that I know that if I don't want this chain no more, I get the
06:06same thing.
06:07Everybody know I spend the most on jewelry.
06:10They don't be talking about nothing.
06:12I don't care how hard it's hitting, maybe go like this.
06:15I'll really be around like, you know, billions.
06:18They don't see me wear that shit no more.
06:20You know you do it.
06:21I'll tell you what's even better than that.
06:22Why?
06:23They just gave me an office.
06:24If you could see when I was pulling out the chain, I had like a black string around
06:28my neck.
06:29I keep the key card on my neck.
06:30Yeah.
06:31I keep my key card on my neck.
06:33I had chains my whole life, but I never had an office.
06:36No one never presented me an office.
06:37None of that.
06:38I never thought that I was good enough for an office.
06:40Oh, shout out JT too?
06:41I ain't gonna knock shout out JT.
06:42That's my baby.
06:43Yo, you wanna know something crazy?
06:46Every time I be on the internet and I see somebody say JT, I think my girl did something.
06:51It be Jason Tatum.
06:52Hey, time, bro.
06:56They be like, bro, I swear.
06:58I be like, man, I need to get out of my head.
07:00Cause I be like, bro, there's people in this world that got their own shit.
07:03I be like, what?
