if you have a fanbase that is primarily women then you got it in the bag. We are probably not within the demographic of people that would be aware of his music, I didnt even know this song was out
Cmon, Drake, Megan and about every popular artist right now has a bigger female following and we hear all their stuff all the time. Infact it's artists with majority male fanbase who rarely get radio play, see Em. Jack Harlow will be because the industry decided he will be lol

Having a young white female demographic for your fanbase is the best thing that can happen to your career. Not only the bar doesn't have to be high for the quality of music, they'll stream the crap out of the song and they'll include it in Instagram Reels and TikTok videos. They also don't mind the prices for concerts and will pay it.
It'll explain why Jackman went under the radar - it was more of a project for his older diehard fans whereas the current demo is primarily females. It could also make sense because of his song with Jung Kook, probably garnering a lot of KPop fans to his music
@ETERALMP3 no white suburban girls thats why hes exclusively touring in kentucky and midwestern states rn. They also tend to be more silent streamers so his numbers make sense. I think he knows the true hard core hiphop heads dont respect him so hes gonna stick with the" girls"
As a Kentucky native, I can assure y’all white girls love this dude & I can see them being his main crowd. I don’t really hear any old heads acknowledge him as a “Rapper” at all. But more power to the guy putting on for the city of Louisville much like Tiller did many years ago.
@@dontaviushaul442 Old heads know more than you think bro. I don’t necessarily agree with them on that, but I do see where they’re coming from. Jacks not a MC, like Cole & Kendrick. But he is more like Drake, which I think is a fair comparison.

idk why ppl wanna hate and come to this narrative that it's fake "ohh I haven't heard it outside" This is a song that has blown up on the internet just like all the other #1 this year and the year before. The label pushed it like crazy so obviously doing numbers.
“The label pushed like crazy so it’s doing numbers” you just explained how he’s an industry plant 😂 and TikTok has a thing called heating, that’s why he’s doing well on there, clearly his number are being artificially pushed

It's as real as any other number 1. I didn't even know what it was. I'm only just now realizing that I've heard this song every day for the past couple of weeks because of IG, yt shorts, tiktok or it being on in a store. That's the sign of a real hit. When you hear a song so much it just becomes background noise and you don't even fully process how much it's playing around you.
Nle Choppa somewhere on TH-cam said his dream was to have a radio song and he thought you just needed a hot song to be on the radio and he had shotta flow a hot song that wasnt in the radio. And nle said when you get in the industry you see how it works so basically nle Choppa said the industry is rigged
I think being featured on Jung Kook’s global hit “3D” helped Jack a lot more than anything. He inherited a ton of K-Pop fans in the last months since it dropped
Sampling and Tik Tok is the main reason this song and songs similar to it have been blowing up. Whenever an artists samples an old song it brings out the old heads that hear something familiar and teaching the younger generation older music. So you have two or more completely different generations using the song all across tik tok.
Prediction: Jack Harlow will most likely be recording till we’ll after Christmas, he will drop a single in February or March that will do atleast top 20 numbers and then drop announce and album in April or May. He will probably drop a single the day of the album or in the 2 weeks before.

I was playing that song across my house on like 8 Alexa’s damn near daily… a video like this comes from a place of “it’s only my reality, others don’t exist”… I feel the same way with Taylor Swift bc I never hear her songs but I am aware enough to know that other people are listening in masse and that’s okay. Also the points about “posting” on it also demonstrates a lack of self-awareness online. There’s other feeds, conversations, narratives, etc that are nothing like yours. In conclusion: my streams alone took Jack Harlow to #1 on Billboard
Right, I've Bern playing this song on repeat for weeks. Yeah, I dont even listen to Taylor. Dont understand how she has so many #1 hits when her songs sounr so basic😅
He learned from Drake. To have a room in your mansion, full of tablets , and phones, just playing his music on different platforms all ok repeat on low volume. Lol 😅😂
I heard this song on the radio a couple of times, but I think the bigger problem is why don't people tap into rap albums that aren't so pop centered, the same thing happened when Doja went from Planet Her to Scarlet, her numbers dropped like crazy.
Cause Pop (Popular Music) is the meca of music nothing out there genre wise is bigger bc it’s harder to create non melodic catchy easy to remember and sing along too music without it being called POP it’s all a business whatever sells most is popular = pop music
@@cartrellbouknight410or maybe rap fans do not support their artists enough, reason why rappers don't pull as much as their pop counterparts. the only rapper able to compete with them is Drake and he sings and raps.
Well with doja you have to take into account she basically said fuck her fans. She lost like a million followers after that. 1 million followers out of 25 might not seem like alot but it’s very possible that million she lost were hardcore supporters who said they’re done with everything she does.
Another thing, rap music is just valued less than other forms of music. The barrier to entry is so low. U could record a rap album with like $2000 or even less. Rap shows are sub par. Folks just don’t value it and everyone is trying to do it. You don’t have to spend years learning to sing or play an instrument, just be good at making words rhyme and he’ll u don’t even have to do that very well.
People do tap in to rap thats not pop but no matter how much you love “real rap” you cant listen to 4 minute songs of just bars over and over again. Its much easier to stream a 2minute “hit song” with a good hook so the streams on the pop songs are going to shoot up higher and make it look more popular. I’v listened to this song probably 20 times coz its easy to listen to multiple times. I dont particularly love it but its easy listening, i understand how its streaming so much because anybody can play it on repeat without being overwhelmed
Nah she started rapping like last year and it worked because she already had a social media presence but Jack has been rapping and performing and putting tapes out since he was 13
It doesnt matter what he does, hes built that core fanbase and as long as he doesnt do dumb shit with his money or commit any major crimes, he'll be eating forever
It’s harder to make it as a white rapper, it’s much more obstacles and bs to overcome to be taken seriously. But if you can make it past those barriers it’s much more beneficial honestly. Post Malone (even tho he not a rapper he often gets credited as one and is closely associated with rap) Eminem, Jack Harlow, G eazy, etc. like Eminem even said, “Let’s do the math if I was black I would’ve sold half”.
Also, checking the date it released. Reaching 100mil before 1 month while Cardi B singles are flopping worse than it, must be a different demographic for sure!
Popular music isn't monocultural anymore. #1's are about which song is most passionately favored among segmented audiences at one given. I barely ever heard Morgan Wallen's 16-week #1 "Last Night" this year or any of his music for that matter and wondered the same thing, but "Lovin on Me" "feels" #1 to me because it's all over every social media algorithm I encounter. You ask a gay man in New York what the biggest song of the year was, it's "Padam Padam", you ask a young Latino family in Texas, it's probably "Ella Baila Sola".
I came to congratulate you as you are the first comment that has brain cells, people need to understand that different people from different places have different demographics listening to them because different demographics come from different places, I live in Louisville and you ask any person around what’s the number 1 song rn and their answer would have been Jack Harlow for the past bit, every area I travel too plays different music 🤷🏾♀️
not everyone is checking for Harlow. People check for who they listen to commonly. A carti fan isn’t gonna go out of their way to check if youngboy dropped.
@embermist3910 if they dont listen to his genre of music. Why tf would they be looking for his music or even heard it. Got to be retarded if you think everyone listens or even knows who he is.
Don’t listen to Jack Harlow but this song didn’t come out of nowhere. Idk if Yassine is not on tik tok but this song hella blew up on Tik tok and I’ve seen it all over tik tok. I think that’s why it’s charting like it is.
Actually I’ve been hearing this song non stop everywhere 😅 I even saw a TikTok where a guy skipped this song and all the comments were clowning him for skipping such a great song
I heard this a few times but really listened to it today.... I love it. It's a catchy tune and the lyrics are simple with just enough word play to hold your attention. I'm so glad, as an old head, to have a current and fun rap song to genuinely enjoy. Especially with that Sexy Redd mess playing.. ****I'll never forgive the internet for making her famous 😭😭😭***
this isn't news to me! ever since 2014-ish, there been a shit load of songs that don't feel like they belonged at the top 40 charts at all; let alone, on the number one spot. and they only get all the way to number one because they got a really big stanbase. doesn't matter if the song is filler, trolling or white noise, the stans will get it to number one no matter what.
I heard it on TikTok before the song even dropped. Then it was all over TikTok when it came out. I figured it was going to go number one when a bunch of TikTok’s played the song.
It HAS to be the #1 song on tiktok right now. I counted 25 different tiktoks with this song FROM THE SAME GUY! Hella ppl are using it, over and over, like CRAZY!
I personally think he should try to become his own organic version of '00s Fab (Into You, Trade It All, She got her own) / Bow Wow (Let me Love You, Like You) + Ambition era Wale (Lotus Flower Bomb, That Way, LovehateThing, Sabotage). There's such a void in the music landscape for R&B sensations. And i mean the type that could reimagine what clubs play bc right now the landscape is too polarized, it feels like its either super gangster or super sterile. Building a movement around a sound and era that hes alluded to being inspired by through fashion and songs like Love is Dro, but i think he should lean aaaall the way in. Hes not gonna get that J Cole/Kendrick status which he was trying to do, so he should do what others cant do. His charisma is his superpower in a market of nuance-lacking figures and sounds (in the mainstream, of course there's beautiful stuff going on, but in general, we're in a cultural stand-still) Edit: Also he could even step into the lane of discovering singers and putting them all over his projects. He'll finally get the respect hes been hungry for with this direction, in my opinion. My main point is hes gonna stay plateaued if he keeps competing. Dont compete, go where there is no competition and blow peoples minds with an innovative take on fun, sexy, cook-out music. Shit to skate to. TikTok will love it while maintaining integrity of hiphop culture IF he gets the right producers and does it ORGANICALLY. You cant sanitize this
i’m 100% behind this! some of his best songs are his R&B centered songs. No Enhancers, Luv Is Dro, Like A Blade Of Grass, and Lil Secret. those type of songs are what’s missing nowadays.
"I always believe everything is intentional" has to be one of the dumbest things ive heard in a while lmaaoo, this vid aint even bad but that line took me tf out
Jack Harlow is a guy whose main skill seems to be looking rly good walking thru a function, sacheting from side to side with his arms swinging, and looking into the middle distance while greeting various people in a cool way
Have you seen how crazy her shows are? Yes, people are bumping Doja Cat, and they are doing it a lot 😂 I used to work at a baseball stadium and they would play Doja 3-4 times per game in front of 30,000+ people. I ain’t tryna down talk you bruh, but you gotta learn that the world is a lot bigger than your sphere of influence
Y’all…HE’S A PLANT. He has all these looks from people like Wayne, Drake and Pharrell and appears in a movie and no one is seeing the obvious? He’s charismatic, has a look and is juuuust talented enough to pass the smell test from pop rap fans who only really follow top ten popular charting rap artists. Cmon y’all …we gotta do better. Everything about this guy is manufactured…even his streams. I mean…for a while he was selling KFC meals.
You know he’s been putting out music since he was in middle school right? He has songs on Spotify going back to 2016. What exactly makes him a plant? That he has other high profile artists in the studio with him? Isn’t that what happens when you sign to a label? Is he a plant cuz his streaming numbers are high? Isn’t that what happens when you put hundreds of thousands of dollars into marketing? At what point did he become manufactured? Before or after the middle school music videos? There’s legit Industry Plants floating around the industry but Jack Harlow is not one, he’s been working at this for more than a decade and you sound delusion and corny tbh
Love all your videos man! I think Jack is playing a two prong game, supplying to hiphop and then collecting the hits with the big singles, i dont think hes doing one or the other i think hes doing both and building an extremely powerful audience, jack man is for a certain demographic, and his latest single and the jung kook feature is for another audience and playing this game will pay off big time in the long run, i would also say the reason there is less press on this run is he wants to be positioned more of a rapper in hiphop culture and not a pop star and doing a huge press run for some pop leaning singles would not benefit the brand hes going for
Jack Harlow is fire, song is fire, The Vanilla Tenderoni continues to put us on the dance floor. Much rather that than where “hip hop” is currently taking us. That’s What They All Say is the album, Best Friends the ultimate club banger with Breezy is exactly what I’m talking about.
That song is a BANGER, I get it though he's talented but definitely a plant (by no fault of his own lol). I'll probably get tired of it when I get back on social media. I actually got around to listening to that album over the weekend, and I don't listen to mainstream rap but this kid is nice.
Not really its Drake's flow that he copied and that truffle butter sounding beat that made the song, a song like this sounds ways better with real rappers like Wayne or Drake
What is your definition of a plant? He’s been putting out music since he was in middle school, and regular releases every year since then. You can’t claim his career is manufactured just because he’s signed to a label now
After 2 weeks it barely at 10m views on youtube. Vs recently kid laroi put out 'Too Much' which had 20m after 2 weeks on youtube. Now I know other metrics are used like people who bought teh single/other streams. But 'Too Much' debuting/peaking at 44 just seems so wrong based on that metric alone. But even when you consider streams in the week 'too much' dropped, I think it should of been top 10. Seems so rigged in the US but I'm not 100% sure.
If you aren't on TikTok, then this makes sense. But this song is all over TikTok, and spawned a dance trend. If you are judging by the 90s criteria, old school number one "feel", no it doesn't make sense. Cheers from Jack's hometown.
Jack Harlow is so much more commercial than the average rapper, he transcends Hip-Hop when he leans into the Pop/top40 format. The single didn’t just go No.1 in the states, but also in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. He’s an international Pop crossover. Very clever to drop this following his collab with Jungkook from BTS.
As someone who enjoyed Jackman, I'm kinda sad, Jackman was Jack Harlow's way of saying, "Hey, I don't need clout to make good music!" But now hes going back and proving that quality doesnt matter to some, money does
A white fanbase is the most important fanbase you can have. They’ll go to your show, they won’t get bored of a project after a week and buy merch. If Jack is smart he will stay over there and leave this side alone where a popular tweeter can influence people’s opinion on a album
IDK about y'all, but I haven't ever heard this song played in public spaces or even in other people's vehicles while I'm at a stop light
All I saw was it got some ppl using it on social media but that's all it wasn't that popular on there anyways

Jack Harlow is the male equivalent of Ice Spice
kinda true damn
Nah she started rapping like last year and it worked because she already had a social media presence but Jack has been rapping and performing and putting tapes out since he was 13
this take is wild. lol. come home the kids miss you was trash but jack can rap and definitely grinded to get where he at
not even close. ice spice is a true industry plant. jack harlow has been working for this position for over a decade.
Let’s be honest music comes into play but also with jack it’s simple it was his glow up 🤷🏿♂️.
It doesnt matter what he does, hes built that core fanbase and as long as he doesnt do dumb shit with his money or commit any major crimes, he'll be eating forever
It’s harder to make it as a white rapper, it’s much more obstacles and bs to overcome to be taken seriously. But if you can make it past those barriers it’s much more beneficial honestly. Post Malone (even tho he not a rapper he often gets credited as one and is closely associated with rap) Eminem, Jack Harlow, G eazy, etc. like Eminem even said, “Let’s do the math if I was black I would’ve sold half”.
Heard this while shuffling on RapCaviar. Catchy 90s sample and The Motto drums I get it. But it feels so fast af towards #1 imo.
Also, checking the date it released. Reaching 100mil before 1 month while Cardi B singles are flopping worse than it, must be a different demographic for sure!
@@traplover6357carti b is black women not white women😊
I go to bama and yea, hella sorority girls are bumpin that song around here
I didn’t even know he dropped 😂
Popular music isn't monocultural anymore. #1's are about which song is most passionately favored among segmented audiences at one given. I barely ever heard Morgan Wallen's 16-week #1 "Last Night" this year or any of his music for that matter and wondered the same thing, but "Lovin on Me" "feels" #1 to me because it's all over every social media algorithm I encounter. You ask a gay man in New York what the biggest song of the year was, it's "Padam Padam", you ask a young Latino family in Texas, it's probably "Ella Baila Sola".
I came to congratulate you as you are the first comment that has brain cells, people need to understand that different people from different places have different demographics listening to them because different demographics come from different places, I live in Louisville and you ask any person around what’s the number 1 song rn and their answer would have been Jack Harlow for the past bit, every area I travel too plays different music 🤷🏾♀️
This. Everyone is living in their bubbles.
“The ones that hate me the most look just like me”
I was literally waiting for this video right after you tweeted about it
Honestly I didn't know Jack Harlow was still making music 💀
🤦ok bro, dont lie
@@dontaviushaul442 Last time I heard about mans was when he dropped Jackman
not everyone is checking for Harlow. People check for who they listen to commonly. A carti fan isn’t gonna go out of their way to check if youngboy dropped.
@@dontaviushaul442 no one has to lie abot listening to Jack Harlow. Especially if they dont listen to his genre of music
@embermist3910 if they dont listen to his genre of music. Why tf would they be looking for his music or even heard it. Got to be retarded if you think everyone listens or even knows who he is.
Don’t listen to Jack Harlow but this song didn’t come out of nowhere. Idk if Yassine is not on tik tok but this song hella blew up on Tik tok and I’ve seen it all over tik tok. I think that’s why it’s charting like it is.
I just don’t see how a random Jack Harlow track beat all I want for Christmas. That song is usually glued to number 1
It feels like I see this song everywhere online rn. But I'm surprised that the song went nr1.
Actually I’ve been hearing this song non stop everywhere 😅 I even saw a TikTok where a guy skipped this song and all the comments were clowning him for skipping such a great song
I heard this a few times but really listened to it today.... I love it.
It's a catchy tune and the lyrics are simple with just enough word play to hold your attention.
I'm so glad, as an old head, to have a current and fun rap song to genuinely enjoy. Especially with that Sexy Redd mess playing..
****I'll never forgive the internet for making her famous 😭😭😭***
This man uttered the words "jack harlow is a cool guy" im never watching this channel again XD
ayeee i’m the dude who commented about this on your IG post where you announced the song went #1 last week. glad to see you make a video about this
Thanks for coming
this isn't news to me! ever since 2014-ish, there been a shit load of songs that don't feel like they belonged at the top 40 charts at all; let alone, on the number one spot.
and they only get all the way to number one because they got a really big stanbase. doesn't matter if the song is filler, trolling or white noise, the stans will get it to number one no matter what.
You have to have lived through the 90’s/Y2K to understand a song FEELING #1. That meant EVERYONE loved it. The payola is real
Went to the club for the first time with a friend and Lovin On Me played, a week after it came out so its being played somewhere
I heard it on TikTok before the song even dropped. Then it was all over TikTok when it came out. I figured it was going to go number one when a bunch of TikTok’s played the song.
It HAS to be the #1 song on tiktok right now. I counted 25 different tiktoks with this song FROM THE SAME GUY! Hella ppl are using it, over and over, like CRAZY!
Exactly this
I personally think he should try to become his own organic version of '00s Fab (Into You, Trade It All, She got her own) / Bow Wow (Let me Love You, Like You) + Ambition era Wale (Lotus Flower Bomb, That Way, LovehateThing, Sabotage).
There's such a void in the music landscape for R&B sensations. And i mean the type that could reimagine what clubs play bc right now the landscape is too polarized, it feels like its either super gangster or super sterile. Building a movement around a sound and era that hes alluded to being inspired by through fashion and songs like Love is Dro, but i think he should lean aaaall the way in. Hes not gonna get that J Cole/Kendrick status which he was trying to do, so he should do what others cant do. His charisma is his superpower in a market of nuance-lacking figures and sounds (in the mainstream, of course there's beautiful stuff going on, but in general, we're in a cultural stand-still)
Edit: Also he could even step into the lane of discovering singers and putting them all over his projects. He'll finally get the respect hes been hungry for with this direction, in my opinion. My main point is hes gonna stay plateaued if he keeps competing. Dont compete, go where there is no competition and blow peoples minds with an innovative take on fun, sexy, cook-out music. Shit to skate to. TikTok will love it while maintaining integrity of hiphop culture IF he gets the right producers and does it ORGANICALLY. You cant sanitize this
i’m 100% behind this! some of his best songs are his R&B centered songs. No Enhancers, Luv Is Dro, Like A Blade Of Grass, and Lil Secret. those type of songs are what’s missing nowadays.
I perfectly agree. That rnb/rap lane is doesn’t really exist anymore and Jack is the perfect rapper to operate in that lane
Yes! And honestly, he’s kind of already that guy, just gotta translate it into mainstream.
Just because you’re not in the know, doesn’t meant it came outta nowhere lol
The tens of thousands of people who agreed on my tweet are not just "me".
"I always believe everything is intentional" has to be one of the dumbest things ive heard in a while lmaaoo, this vid aint even bad but that line took me tf out
I will probs forget this song in 2 months lol. It's mid but catchy not gonna lie
Legit don’t even know what song this video is about 😂
It has a 90's vibe
I had no clue this song was coming out but we’ve already learned a routine to in my hip hop class. So apparently people are listening. I like the song
it went #1???? when i was driving, it never played on any of the rap, pop or R&B radios i turned on..???
He is going to be the new Kid Rock eventually.
Bro is talking aboutJack Harlow like he’s the next Jay z 😂😂
I haven’t heard it once at all, not even on TikTok LOL
The music video looks uncomfortable
Jack Harlow is a guy whose main skill seems to be looking rly good walking thru a function, sacheting from side to side with his arms swinging, and looking into the middle distance while greeting various people in a cool way
Hahahahahahahahahha
bro i have been waiting for someone to talk about this thank you
Inflated ass numbers , ain’t no way jack Harlow being bumped like that , nor is he in little to any major hip hop conversation
Does the song sound hip hop to you?
It’s so hard having to pretend to my girlfriend tht I like Jack Harlow, idk how much longer i can go along with this joke(nah he’s alright).
😂😂😂😂
Don’t pretend I always tell my girl if I don’t like artist or songs so we don’t play them in the car together lol. No sad SZA for me
@@prestigini3150 nah we listening to Griselda and Danny Brown regardless.
Must be some good good caz he's bad bad
They play that song at the club at least 3 times every time I go
but man gotta respect that man can just put out a hit like thaaat. saying "we need some attention and a hit" and man delivers it.
Lmao the whole industry is fake 😹 yall really think people are bumping doja cat??
I do. Ppl are dumb
Have you seen how crazy her shows are? Yes, people are bumping Doja Cat, and they are doing it a lot 😂 I used to work at a baseball stadium and they would play Doja 3-4 times per game in front of 30,000+ people. I ain’t tryna down talk you bruh, but you gotta learn that the world is a lot bigger than your sphere of influence
Y’all…HE’S A PLANT. He has all these looks from people like Wayne, Drake and Pharrell and appears in a movie and no one is seeing the obvious? He’s charismatic, has a look and is juuuust talented enough to pass the smell test from pop rap fans who only really follow top ten popular charting rap artists. Cmon y’all …we gotta do better. Everything about this guy is manufactured…even his streams. I mean…for a while he was selling KFC meals.
You know he’s been putting out music since he was in middle school right? He has songs on Spotify going back to 2016. What exactly makes him a plant? That he has other high profile artists in the studio with him? Isn’t that what happens when you sign to a label? Is he a plant cuz his streaming numbers are high? Isn’t that what happens when you put hundreds of thousands of dollars into marketing? At what point did he become manufactured? Before or after the middle school music videos? There’s legit Industry Plants floating around the industry but Jack Harlow is not one, he’s been working at this for more than a decade and you sound delusion and corny tbh
Harlow said on Cam and Mase podcast that he hasnt recorded enough for an album yet
I turn on the radio before I plug in the aux and I hear this song on the radio all the time soooo
I've heard it play in a black club where I work at...Its a fire song🤷🏾♂
Yeah black woman played it at my thanksgiving
Yeah.... you're both cappin lol
I have gotten Jackman on repeat more than a couple times tbh, I gotta agree with you yassine
Yassine sounds like THE jack Harlow fan 😂😂
didnt kno this song existed till i saw this video
Love all your videos man! I think Jack is playing a two prong game, supplying to hiphop and then collecting the hits with the big singles, i dont think hes doing one or the other i think hes doing both and building an extremely powerful audience, jack man is for a certain demographic, and his latest single and the jung kook feature is for another audience and playing this game will pay off big time in the long run, i would also say the reason there is less press on this run is he wants to be positioned more of a rapper in hiphop culture and not a pop star and doing a huge press run for some pop leaning singles would not benefit the brand hes going for
Jack Harlow is fire, song is fire, The Vanilla Tenderoni continues to put us on the dance floor. Much rather that than where “hip hop” is currently taking us. That’s What They All Say is the album, Best Friends the ultimate club banger with Breezy is exactly what I’m talking about.
agreed 🙌
FACTS BRO
Hadn't heard of this song until I saw you're tweet
i had no idea that went #1 lol i fw the song tho
If you listen to Jack Harlow you’re a walking L
What about Jackman, that was a beautiful project that blows his other works out of the water
Shut up,why can't people listen to the rappers they enjoy,instead of being bullied by others.It's fucking insane.
His music ain’t that bad. I don’t get the hate. Hell his album everyone hated was decent too
That song is a BANGER, I get it though he's talented but definitely a plant (by no fault of his own lol). I'll probably get tired of it when I get back on social media. I actually got around to listening to that album over the weekend, and I don't listen to mainstream rap but this kid is nice.
Not really its Drake's flow that he copied and that truffle butter sounding beat that made the song, a song like this sounds ways better with real rappers like Wayne or Drake
@@thesquad2253I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of and its literally truffle butter 😂 thank you
What is your definition of a plant? He’s been putting out music since he was in middle school, and regular releases every year since then. You can’t claim his career is manufactured just because he’s signed to a label now
you hit the nail on the head his demo switched he is exactly where g eazy was in terms of demo
When I here this song, is only when a song I’m listening to finishes and I having nothing Queued up next…
Jack haters will empower him even more so please continue being awful, its the only thing that's left for the haters
After 2 weeks it barely at 10m views on youtube. Vs recently kid laroi put out 'Too Much' which had 20m after 2 weeks on youtube. Now I know other metrics are used like people who bought teh single/other streams. But 'Too Much' debuting/peaking at 44 just seems so wrong based on that metric alone. But even when you consider streams in the week 'too much' dropped, I think it should of been top 10. Seems so rigged in the US but I'm not 100% sure.
If you aren't on TikTok, then this makes sense. But this song is all over TikTok, and spawned a dance trend. If you are judging by the 90s criteria, old school number one "feel", no it doesn't make sense. Cheers from Jack's hometown.
Jack Harlow is so much more commercial than the average rapper, he transcends Hip-Hop when he leans into the Pop/top40 format. The single didn’t just go No.1 in the states, but also in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. He’s an international Pop crossover. Very clever to drop this following his collab with Jungkook from BTS.
*Ice Spice*
Jack Harlow understands the streets, the struggle, the mentality it takes to get to the top! No other artist can compare!
He knows nothing about the streets cause he is not from them
Are we really surprised? Atlantic is known for faking streams.
*cough cough* Cardi B 🫢
I mean not on my playlist but seems anytime you turn on the radio when you have to they play it 20x a day
All i heard as a hip-hop HEAD, is that Jack Harlow dropped an album i slept on called Jackman. Bet imma peep that shit.
Let me know what you think
"Claim to be pure Hip-Hop, bih stop, you should be on lip lock. You're more like kidz-bop, no longer hot then you switched pop"
-Chief Christopher KRU
As someone who enjoyed Jackman, I'm kinda sad, Jackman was Jack Harlow's way of saying, "Hey, I don't need clout to make good music!"
But now hes going back and proving that quality doesnt matter to some, money does
I kinda liked Jackman
Look at his hair...tell me he doesn't have family in the industry🤣🤣🤣.
Definitely like Lovin On Me, Nail Tech & Tyler Herro more than First Class
First Class felt like the fake No.1
A white fanbase is the most important fanbase you can have. They’ll go to your show, they won’t get bored of a project after a week and buy merch. If Jack is smart he will stay over there and leave this side alone where a popular tweeter can influence people’s opinion on a album
*I don't listen to him lol*
The music video has some of the most sus energy I've felt in a long time
Watch how this song is all of a sudden played everywhere
Jack has lost all sex appeal he had lol he been eating good he giving Johnny boy vibes and has lost white chocolate vibes lol
