I feel that Jack is trying to play too safe with his music, which is why it’s bland and boring

But what is that really saying when this one was pretty bad?

this a whole hit piece im cackling

Is that even saying much

I wouldn't even play it as background music tbh. He really got f***ed on the production end of things on this album.

His flow is super laid back and lazy so he needs the most interesting beats possible to elevate his songs. That's what Lil Nas X did with his album and I love that record. I still play it almost every day. The beats carry the load on that album and you'd think Jack would see that and do something similar but he just... doesn't.

Fortunately for him most of Jack’s fanbase (college aged white female NPCs) don’t even know what Pitchfork is. Jack will continue to get bigger and the industry will continue to force him down our throats.

thats what it boils down to but dawg could’ve avoided this he set himself up

It's sad that I have to agree with you but you're not wrong at all. His debut album is definitely better.

Ok pack it up

Im surprised this aint that one dude

Is he wrong?

Strauss does more writing than Jenkins for rap these days.

The first one wasn't great but I think it was good enough to build up anticipation for this one. I enjoyed it.

I defend that nigga's verse on that album and still... yes

Yeah. It makes you wonder who these dudes have around them telling them the mid they're making is fire. I don't know, man. This album could have been Jack's crowning moment. The moment he showed why he was worthy of all the hype and all the bruhaha around his name and he seriously dropped the ball.

Forget not ducking the sophomore slump curse, I'll be surprised if he ever gets this kind of chance to prove himself again.

Nas X had some good catchy melodys too

LMFAO damn

Jackadelic dropping next

y'all gotta chill his Take Care coming soon

Yeah, that's true. Reviewers don't set their own scores. That's why you can read a Pitchfork album review that's mostly positive and then see that it gets a 5 or a 6.

He's never going to be a super technical rapper but he did use to have more heart and energy in his older work. This song is a good example. He needs to recapture some of this for his future work.

The sad thing is that I don't think it'll matter how good his next album is. This was a career-defining moment.

Even if i'm not a huge fan of Thank Me Later, that album is a masterpiece compared to this.

they just called him stupid

Nah im talking bout that other dude

Brodie who be hating on everything
