i would have to say that this is jack carlo's coming of age project a lot of people are going to listen to this project and not only are they going to respect him as a rapper but they're also going to respect that he went in a certain direction that a lot of creators stray away from and for obvious reasons because there's a lot of great area when you get into these situations and even saying that is problematic for some. And basically the reason I say that because Jack's track in the midst of his album titled Gang Gang Gang

Started off on what I thought would be a track just highlighting and glorifying the people that been down since day one But in fact, it was the opposite. It was kind of shaming them because of certain actions that they did that was

to put it in the PG term way out of line. So now, he's put it in a song. I don't know if these are the real names of his friends or whatever. Obviously, he didn't say the last name, but, you know, from the first name,

that could be enough if people from his hometown knows who he's talking about. And there's a lot of very, very sensitive subjects that he's touching on in this track. Makes me wonder if these are real situations. A track like this, and the way that drag is rapping,

it would have to be, right? Because he ends it with almost like you never would hear. Basically, coming to the conclusion that one of your day ones did something so egregious and just plain, this, I don't even know, it would this be disgusting behavior to the point where you have to act like they would never hear.

And for them to be your day one, it seems like that's the message he's trying to get across in this track. It's very interesting to see him go about the thought process of just hearing the news, coming to the realization that it's probably true. and having to distance yourself forever from somebody that he called gang gang. So the lyrical content of Jack Mann from Jack Harlow, I think it's going to be a coming of age storyline simply for the fact that a lot of people counting him out

when he put out one of the worst albums of last year titled Come Home, the Kids Miss You. Because I feel like he was literally trying to be, Drake and rapping in a way that Drake usually wraps on every track. I mean, even the bangers, even the club anthems, quote unquote, even to the point where I had to call out one of his tracks on Come Home to Kids Miss You because it literally was a sample of, was it nice for what? Yeah, it was literally just like it was the same exact formula of Nice for What. If you listen to first class

it's the same exact formula that Drake used on Nice for What Take a very popularized sample that everybody knows and loves And just have that plan Throughout your whole entire track

And then that's the song And then you're just basically rapping And doing the chorus a little bit But the sample Is what's carrying the entire track Listen to Jack Harlow's first class listen to drake's nice for what and you will probably get a sense of what i'm saying that

pattern of using a sample to carry your entire track for a hit has been proven time and time again to be effective but it's still in my eyes a very lazy route to take as an artist but on other hand you can't really fault these artists because even niki niki minage received her most successful solo track ever with a heavy sampled song titled red ruby the sleeve if you if you haven't heard red ruby the sleeves is using a sample that you probably already know in love and is playing throughout the entire song and guess what is her most successful track of all time as a solo artists. So, I mean, what they say, don't hate the player hit the game. So anyways, the rest of that album, though, from Jack Hollow was pretty atrocious. And I'm not going to say it was bad. It was just very mediocre. And from Jack Hollow, the way that he's rapping on Jackman is how we thought he was going to be

rapping on the other album, even the, even the album title, like, bro, that's way too long. So, so yeah, Jackman was definitely, it sounds like it's a redemption project. And this track, may be may go down in history is is one of his best tracks of all time so click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about jack harlowe in general touching these type of sensitive subjects and a track and do you think artists like a jack harlowe and kendrick should approach these type of subjects and put them on a track to be promoted on dsps
