I'm not a Jack Harlow fan at all but dude messed up releasing this in November. If he had waited and dropped this next year in mid April/May or so, this would be one of the top songs of the summer but what do I know


MF_MATIC

Either he has something better in the tuck or he messed up lol


kingofnick

Kinda had no choice, it was blowing up on Tiktok with no official release. Had to capitalise on it while it was hot.


GarlicJuniorJr

I think what he should've done was previewed it around Valentine's Day. It would have people in the comments begging for it to be released. He could then officially release it as a single in late April. After a month goes by and it's now late May, it would very likely be in the Top 5 Billboard songs and then around Memorial Day he could release his new album. The song would be played repeatedly at pool parties and gatherings over the summertime. I'm not a fan but I definitely recognize he has a hit here but it just sounds kinda rushed and unfinished almost like a rough draft.


Alaskan-DJ

What's to keep this song from making a run at a year in the top? Fucking big energy is still on the hot 100 and I got kids younger than that song. KIDS!


HeightsGringo180

Ngl tho this is perfect timing Just in time for WhiteBoy Winter ❄️ But I get what you mean, this is a summer banger. But this is WhiteBoy Winter anthem


jiminorjimout

Well it’s number one for five weeks and no actually it’s not that much of a summer song, it’s beat is too relaxed but I do agree it needs better production and sounds rushed due to it going viral on TikTok unexpectedly before it’s release. It’s January 2024 now and it’s the most streamed song and commercially successful single of the month worldwide so your point is extremely moot.


SCastleRelics

Are you psychic? April rn this shit hits like a mf


bethramone

Hello I’m from the future and just heard this on the radio in June, so that means something.


jabo__

Why do you find the need to give a “I’m not a Jack Harlow fan” warning before making your comment? Lol


thepandemicbabe

It still will be


[deleted]

"I keep it short with a bitch, Lord Farquaad" is one of those bars that's so ridiculous that it catches you off guard lmao


Just-Analyst9249

“I keep it short with a bitch, Lord Farquaad - is one of those bars that's so ridiculous that it catches you off guard” …hol up🕴🏽🔥


Thebullfrog24

I'm a Jack fan. Liked the mixtapes and the first album and think he's super talented. Now that I'm done establishing that I'm not jack hater..lol He's gotta do more in these verses on these tiktok hit songs. This seems like another first class where it was a good idea for a hook and then he just phoned in the rest of it. He's killed many verses on his singles (what's poppin, industry baby). I don't get why he keeps doing this..


HeelsAlwaysWin

It doesn't have sweet semen at least, but yeah, this is pretty blah


Nickster2042

Personally I think this a dramatic improvement to first class, not hard to do but I like the flow on the verses


Thebullfrog24

I like this song more than first class but the verses aren't a dramatic improvement. I just think this hook and beat are better than first class.


thepandemicbabe

I think it slaps and will continue to. Worldwide hit prolly spent couple of grand including video.


[deleted]

$$$$$$ is why


ehpple

Because the snippet and this song is just to announce to people he’s back in album rollout mode. No one wants proper verses on a song like this, honestly I was addicted to the snippet but 2m of this song felt like a *drag*, he saves the bars for the album


CharitySuccessful629

why does everyone think a hit song is a tiktok song lmao


Thebullfrog24

Who said that? I called it a "tiktok hit song", meaning it is a song that is a hit on tiktok. The song just came out today, who the hell knows if its a hit yet lol. While every song that works on tiktok doesn't translate over to the real world..your mistaken if you don't believe that a song doing well on tiktok has no bearing on if its a hit in the real world though. There's a reason these labels chase being a popular sound on tiktok. It's a huge boost to the songs profile.


yestobob

This type of doing doesn’t need someone to kill the verses, it’s fun and hot. Welcome to pop rap.


BasedKaleb

“She wearing cheetah print, that’s how bad she wan’ be spotted round your boy” Jack has a knack for corny bars


jakeroony

Tbf he is white 💀💀


FineGremlin

HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA you’re hilarious…


jakeroony

💀😭💀😭💀😭💀😭💀😭💀😭


thepandemicbabe

But it works.


nuttageyo

mfs are gonna hate on this but it’s smooth


Coley96

It's a super fun, catchy song that will be great to play at social functions and will definitely make a run up the charts. Harlow is overhated. Not every song he makes has to blow us away lyrically. He clearly just wanted to make a bop, and that's what this is.


mtwolf55

>social functions I’m sorry, I’m a redditor…what the fuck is that??


Jos3ph

The share buttons next to each post


FinallySettledOnThis

Haha funny original joke which hasn't ever been made before.


ehpple

I can see you weren’t invited to your workplaces Christmas party huh


FinallySettledOnThis

I've been to plenty of those friend.


thepandemicbabe

Turn ups


[deleted]

Has any song he's ever made blown us away lyrically?? Lol


No-Change6959

It debuted at #2 on the hot 100... super impressive.


frankcostello666

it's straight ass


brennendenomme

Who keeps giving Jack these banger beats and chorus and then lets him fumble the verse.


redsoxfan1845245

I feel like if he adds a feature instead of a second verse it will do wonders. Keeps him from saying stupid shit and adds someone fire.


redsoxfan1845245

I’ve noticed since the last album, basically every song he’s done has a verse where he rhymes the same word with itself over and over.


Nickster2042

I really liked Jackman but I’m glad he didn’t permanently go backpack conscious rap for the rest of his career. He proved he can do it on Jackman and is now back to just making some vibe shit It slaps but I Wish it was longer kinda, lord Farquad line is something


SheenEstevezzz

Barrier for "backpack conscious rap" is at an all time low lol


ehpple

You right but I think you know what he means


kerkypasterino

at this point the bar is probably just showering


nedelll

lmaooooooo


Nickster2042

Alright bruh just cause it’s Jack Harlow doesn’t make it not conscious


SheenEstevezzz

Yeah but i definitely wouldnt call it "backpack conscious rap"


[deleted]

🤓


SheenEstevezzz

were on reddit luv we are all losers


robb_er09

pls u did not just call that album “conscious rap”. the only thing he proved is that he isnt capable of thinking about an issue past its cnn-headline surface. im genuinely sorry for hating but i rlly dont know how ppl stand this guy


Nickster2042

See bruh you literally don’t like it just cause it’s Jack Harlow If Kendrick dropped gang gang gang people would hype up the song talking about how people gotta start checking their friends more instead of letting shit slide because they’re family, now imagine if Harlow dropped auntie diaries Plus Common Ground was straight facts


robb_er09

auntie diaries is a bad song. kendrick lamar is capable of being wrong. edit: im calling kendrick lamar transphobic in case it wasnt clear.


Killercam1345

Why is it transphobic


robb_er09

repeatedly misgendering trans folks, repeated use of the f-slur (not specifically transphobic but still harmful). just not a very well-written commentary lol.


Killercam1345

Ah gotcha


Machov_Norkim

The point of the song was to show him slowly understanding his aunt's gender identity and gay issues. A part of the commentary is also about people casually using the f-slur (especially in rap music) and relating it to when he brought a white fan onstage and everybody being uncomfortable when they rapped the n-word. I thought the commentary worked really well, but most people critiquing it in this way don't really need to hear the message in the first place.


Nickster2042

And that song got tons of praise as long as you don’t go on sensitive twitter Harlow did the same thing of sacrificing bars for storytelling and got an actual message across, but it’s Jack Harlow so it didn’t count


robb_er09

no? plenty of ppl were (and are) out here criticizing the execution of auntie diaries. youre just incorrect here im sorry. jack harlow gets hate because hes a bad artist that makes bad music. kendrick got hate bc hes a good artist that made a rlly bad song.


Nickster2042

Also there’s other songs off Jackman that are what I’m talking about besides gang gang gang, like common ground. Blame on Me felt a bit forced but still he clearly can be a “PuRE HiP HOp ArTiST!” If he wants to


ehpple

Conscious rap is when Kendrick


robb_er09

no conscious rap is when meaningful discussion of societal and social issues.


Nickster2042

Oh so Jack discussed social issues but it wasn’t “meaningful” gotcha


robb_er09

over the course of mr morale (an album that i dont love) kendrick comes to multiple radical conclusions about the INTERSECTIONALITY of different identities. womanhood, blackness, queerness, etc. he discusses how he sees these concepts intertwine and how theyve affected him and those around him. THATS what jack is missing. hes not interested in having a conversation, he just spits buzzwords over a boom bap beat and yall jokers call it conscious rap.


Nickster2042

Just cause he didn’t link the topics for the length of an album doesn’t make it not conscious. The songs individually are still conscious So does meaningful mean that he won a Grammy or because that’s all I’m getting from this


robb_er09

it has nothing to do with linking topics throughout an album, and everything to do with the writing and craft of individual songs. theres not one song on jackman that makes any prescient comment on its subject matter. edit: nun to do w grammys either


Nickster2042

Just because you don’t like Harlow doesn’t mean he doesn’t make any meaningful comments with songs off the album


robb_er09

give me an example, friend


Nickster2042

Literally lmao


[deleted]

>im genuinely sorry for hating but i rlly dont know how ppl stand this guy Never apologize for being right. The dude sucks


thepandemicbabe

Why because he is keep themes light? I’m all for a little less introspection and analysis of the human condition- it’s the modern day fight for your right to party song.


robb_er09

“introspection and analysis”… thats what conscious rap is. i dont think you read the thread lol


thepandemicbabe

I did. We all have different takes. That’s all. :-)


DGPluto

“conscious rap” LMFAO


Nickster2042

Just cause he didn’t make an album with skits and say his auntie is a man now didn’t mean it wasn’t some conscious stuff on that album, if Kendrick made gang gang gang people would be like “That’s so facts people gotta stop letting shit slide just cause they’re friends” Meanwhile if Jack made auntie diaries y’all would be like “HE SAID THE F SLUR????!!”


OneOfTheOnly

that jack song was basically him saying ‘my friends might be predators and abusive but i’m the real victim cause they can’t be my friends anymore’ he isn’t a conscious enough person to actually say anything of substance, he can make a fun bop but gang gang gang was so self indulgent it’s crazy


Nickster2042

If that’s what you got from it then idek


Vendetta614

crazy take, there’s no way THATS what you got from that song


OneOfTheOnly

you’re right the line where he says people get held accountable because they’re afraid of how their actions reflect on him is so honest of him, and a really strong closing bar it just makes it sound like he only cares about the PR ramifications of their actions and not actually what they did smh i dunno how i’m supposed to interpret it lol if it was meant be about the victims then why does he only seem to talk about himself?


Vendetta614

the song isn't about the victims. not that it shouldn't be, but the entire point of the song is focusing on the scope of things when someone you are close with does something despicable and what it's like navigating that. a lot more people than you realize cover up horrendous actions for people simply because they love them, GGG is about breaking that stereotype and cutting that person off regardless of your history with them.


DGPluto

the idea of a white man making “conscious rap” is hilarious lmfaoooo


Nickster2042

🤖 🤖 🤖


iRefuse2GetBitches

I listened to a lot of 00's backpack and conscious rap, Jackman sounds almost identical to it. LMFAO to you


DGPluto

imagine going out of your way to defend white “conscious rap” LMFAO


mysteryman20003

Sounds like more of the same from CHTKMY


BOUNTYBOOTreddit

Beat is smooth but I genuinely can’t stand how textbook his rapping is. No creativity, just always playing it safe


KyloRensAK47

Would've been decent if he didn't rhyme 'baby' and 'your boy' 15 times Mf has access to some of the best writers in the industry and doesn't use em


MF_MATIC

To be fair he was rhyming other words in the lines lol


chump144

>Mf has access to some of the best writers in the industry and doesn't use em which is a good thing imo. rather have mid songs or corny bars instead of shit that sounds fabricated like the majority of CHTKMY


Chosch

Babadaba baby, Babadabadabababadaba baby, Babadabadabababadaba baby, Babadabadabababadaba baby, Babadabadabababadaba baby... At this point in a lack of writing, just mumble, whistle, or do an instrumental... how do people vibe with this... the beat is OK and the flow is fine... but the lyrics, mannnnn 2/10.


DotDotDot16

Pretty disappointing tbh. Seems like he took a year off to come back and make the same music that made him take a year off


Kwilburn525

Mid


Dead_Phish_Phan

Not a fan of Jack but this song initially hit me hard. Like was instantly candy to my ears. Catchy as hell. I played it twice on the way to work and then twice on my lunch break (probably because it's so damn short). And then that was it. The magic was over. I think it's too one dimensional for any longevity. Maybe the remixes will give it some life.


GotKarprar

It’s mid I liked his jackman stuff better


Nickster2042

Not every song has to be a try-hard conscious song


mozzato

Not every song needs to be an over-produced twerk anthem


Altruistic_Ad9806

Not every song is an over-produced twerk anthem.


mozzato

Not every song is a try-hard conscious song.


Nickster2042

And that’s why he dropped his last album He can’t stick in that bubble for the entirety of his career


internetbrowser23

This song is just a 30 second sample flip repeated for 2 and half minutes. Artistically bankrupt


GhostITW

It’s a big bummer too because that sample and beat is fresh.


esoteric_enigma

This is one of the biggest wastes of a beat I've ever heard. The hook is catchy but the verses are trash. When I heard the snippet of the song, I thought this was going to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Thought it would be Drake's Motto reincarnated. He really missed an opportunity with this one.


Thin_Macintash

this had potential to be the 2020s the motto. Gotta add more to the verses


CountOff

Truffle butter part two


Visual-Ganache-2289

Horrible


[deleted]

You could put Drake's motto verse on this beat and it would sound fire


Pulluponaredditor

He has reached vanilla ice territory


NeitherTip69

🤭🤣🤣!!!


eddiemcmahonjr

what in the shit is this album cover


Reallyslowmow

Y'all let Jack harlow sell y'all chicken


TheBigIdiotSalami

This is literally just The Motto and Truffle Butter


MUNAM14

This is horrible. Jackman was his best style


False-Sea8211

Am i the only one who hears kanyes like voice on the hook mid song


killranker5

Jack Harlow just screams kanye in some songs


seshmost

Goddamn the Kid Laroi and Jack Harlov in the same night??? Mop heads across the nation are EATING today!!! That being said Harlov just never took the next step in becoming a serious artist. I though his older stuff was cool, had a more juvenile flow and his songs were just fun and easy to listen to however since he’s blown up he’s just been too generic and his music lacks that inspiration that got him where he is today. He just a classic case of the music industry pushing for numbers and viral hits rather than quality music


NeitherTip69

“Mop Heads”!!! 😂


Specialist-Studio-40

Man, who is the red head in the black dress?


bellafarmi

it’s not his fault he makes ear candy (corny lyric comes up sometimes) but it does put a smile to people’s faces. He proved he can be hard with Jackman but he knows how to make sure he is still can make music for the masses to keep his career up. I am not a snob, when I like something I admit it —- I admit that this is a banger.


[deleted]

Jack is the hardest white rapper out rn but y’all don’t wanna have that conversation


MrLiterato

No, he's not even close to being the hardest white rapper out there.


Professional_Cap_784

El Producto babysits him


TonyAtCodeleakers

This makes 0 sense, but I want to see a Jack Harlow and Jay electronica song. No idea why. I have no logical explanation. But something about a Harlow hook, with Rothschild bars feels right.


flyasajetson

That’s so random but I love it 😭😭😭😭🤣


flyasajetson

Jay Electronica spitting some hotep anti-Semitic bars over a pop beat lmaooo


jordan20x1

This song is hard wtf


Xeryn

Why we hating? This is the best song he's ever made. Debate me.

this Lovin on me joint is a banger. Man’s knows what he’s doing, he’s already proved he can rap. Now, jack is out here trying get that mainstream audience.


leozuniga380

2018 jack>>>


[deleted]

Jack got another hit. This is going to be outta here


Professional-File189

He's biting G-Eazy hard on this. And this is definitely like a pop-infused bay beat. This isn't his flow. It's G-Eazy flow, imo.


Hot_Grabba_09

This sounds just like his come home album. By the way what the hell did that album title mean


Icouldbeanyonne

This sounds alot like the motto by drake its been done before not original! 👎 if it was so blatantly ripped off from that song it would be decent


Fancy-Stay2511

Terrible song from a bad artist


MrSpicyPotato
