:word:
last album cycle it was hella promo and s*** talking prior
idk maybe they wanna let the music speak for itself
im going to say this, you people are the most hater ass people ive ever seen and I was on ktt1 since yeezus dropped and before that I was on odd future talk, so ive seen some hate, but ktt2 takes the cake
heres 2 things and I really don't care if I get flamed at this point I barely post and have a real life
1. All you saying jack harlow is mid or this is his only chance to prove it have shown that you need to touch grass, I go clubbing and to bars and lounges a lot, I meet a lot of people, the only time I saw jack harlow hate was on my phone screen, they were playing dua lipa last week at a club in dallas and people were going bonkers, I have never met someone in person who hates jack harlow its either they love him and dont listen much but like first class, tbh as a huge drake fan I meet more people that hate drake in person than ive ever met for jack harlow and ive been on the harlow wave since 2019
2. If you think mac miller is not artistic or on decline before his death you are literally on crack, I saw him live in 2012 and had been following him since 2010, his s*** circulated like crazy and after good AM which was imo his most mainstream project along with divine feminine, even more people I knew then in 2012/13 knew about it, even the year he died there will still discussions in groups of my peers about how great mac is, then he died which made him take on an even bigger status, if you want to make an arguement make it for like lil peep, I listened since 2016 and tbh his death propelled him to be bigger than i think he ever would have gotten
anyways just my opinion
I respect that you aren’t a hater.
When I said that this is probably his last chance, I meant with a more hardcore hip hop listening audience, like on ktt2 or hhtwt
I believe you 100% that normies are still f***ing with him heavy, and I am honestly happy about that, because Jack’s cool.
Do we really need a new Harlow album this soon?

Real ass post
I think this is gonna be more lyric focused due to the reception of his last album and people are gonna say he improved massively and is on a good arc and hes gonna be in better graces critically

according to tmz that’s accurate

I thought that was there narrative last time after his debut didn't really hit the mark. We ended up with an even worse album. I'd keep my expectations (har)low because it could flop and we'll be saying this for the next one again
This is the make it or break it for Jack imo
This isn't directed at you but they're going to say this every album, white privilege is real. Black artists don't get to flop twice like him and still get another chance. But I will admit the lack of promo shows he lost a lot on the budget for this album. Let's see how it plays out for him

This has got to be the dumbest post ive read, I could name like 5 albums from bigger artists than jack that surprised dropped, did they lose their budget too? Also I think its the opposite, black artists can flop way more than a white artist can, we still listening to kodak flop and nba flop boy, mackelmore, sammy adams, asher roth, all died with their flops

Damn right I don’t like Jack. I don’t like him because he’s an obvious industry plant, a white man occupying space in black music. We can see his team making calculations in real time: the hair cut, the Lil Nas X feature, the social media posts, the association with Druski and Drake, White Man Can’t Jump, and on and on. Why do you think he’s been so quiet? Because the last time he made a lot of noise before a release, it backfired.
It’d be one thing if he took the Kid Laroi approach and just made music, but instead he wants to be respected as a real MC. So I’m scrutinizing him to that degree. He seems like a nice guy, but hip hop is too culturally important for some white kid to waltz in here with nothing to say, claiming to be superior, with a persona shaped by label executives for the sake of just selling records.

I agree with this. Literally every move this dude makes feels calculated and put too much thought in it. He's trying to fill this archetype of the big white rapper instead of just being himself. You watch some of his old rap videos and he seems real af like a kid just having fun. Now he's trying too hard. His old style was better if he wants to be a serious mc he's going to need to do better than his last album


I don’t understand hiphop forums/social media’s obsession with passionately talking about Jack Harlow in such an intense manner. Like there’s not much to either the character he presents in his music or him outside of music besides being a walking collection of mainstream hiphop tropes and being a goofy charismatic ladies man respectively. There’s no depth…so why all the discourse?
Is it as simple as his great potential? or is it also y’all secretly wanna f\*\*\* him so there’s an added - irrational and intangible - halo effect to how frustrated his lack of depth makes you?

It's so easy to be a critic and people don't like challenging things

I think it's the social context he exists in and it definitely has something to do with how he presents himself in his music. He's white coming into a predominantly black genre who wants everything handed to him immediately without putting in any of the work guys at the top like Drake or Kendrick had to do all while phoning in the most generic music that other artists like Post Malone and Lil Baby do much better and yes there's some sexual tension between us

It's not that deep, it's because he's white and is seemingly celebrated for what a good majority of critics perceive as mediocrity.

Take Drake in 09/10 for example. This is a rookie with a high level of intensely passionate discourse where it makes sense cause:
Like that’s A LOT. Any one of those points individually warrants plenty of passionate discourse and debate, so of course if one mf has ALL of em they’ll be passionately and intensely discussed by every type of hiphop fan. But it’s like…Jack has nothing like this so I really don’t get it lmao
