I prefer the alternative version without the Jack Harlow verse. I don't dislike it, I just love hearing more of JK's voice. This song is a banger either way. Love it!
I am you! My very reaction...loved the whole song until Jacks part. I actually expected not to like it and that it would make me raise my eyebrows because I have very low expectations from western rap. I’ve never been a fan of rap ...only appreciated it with BTS...but I do hear snippets of it here and there and it’s just not my thing. So I wasn’t sure if it’s actually good for the genre. When I got to Twitter and saw the controversy I listened to it again to understand what he was actually saying after I made a bit of research about some terms he used. My conclusion is it’s not misogynistic and it actually is about his own transformation from being a whoring type of guy and now quite into a girl he has long distance relationship with. He wants to see her in person and what I like about it is he will respect her decision on where the relationship goes. So in the end I kinda like it now. I did watch quite a bit of reactions to this to see what people who know him or into the genre thinks...I’ve seen some fans of Jack really love it some feel it was rather weak and some who truly just found his flow and rhymes a bit lame. So your reaction is truly quite typical of what’s our there....that’s fine! What I find sad is the people who are hating on Jk or Jack or those people who are hating on others who didn’t like it or those that loved it. My thoughts on this is, first, Army is not the target market for this...JK is on a mission to get more exposure and acceptance in Western market where this feature will be most appreciated. I think it’s a brilliant strategy. Second...as you pointed out he is not an innocent teen anymore. He has been showing this more rebel style since he started getting his tattoo...he made a whoLe sleeve to show the world his authentic self for years now. Finally...this is so JK...sexy, edgy but still showing respect and emphasizing consent in his lyrics. I still like Seven more and lattos verses...but this is a great follow up. So excited for his album!
Idk about others, but after seven, I don’t see JK as a K-pop artist. He’s just an artist. And I’m 100% ok with explicit lyrics and features. I’m sick of the squeaky clean good boy image K-pop has. JK being a freak and not being shy about is great.
Yes, teens, his delusional young fans making him a cutie babying is ridiculous joke. If you see the fan base pages, immature teens writing Ff's about him, objectifying him cringe, forgetting he's a 26 year old man. He as an artist needs to come out of this bubble, diversify.
I personally feel that K-pop is now a bad label for his growth… He is a global artist.. not a niche. I need people to see him just the way people see Drake and Justin Bieber, not a guy from a “category”. Seriously Bad Bunny sings in language a lot of people don’t understand but still mainstream WHY NOT JK? The xenophobia needs to end!
I agree with you, please do not hesitate be honest. Another UTuber also said the same thing. I especially did not like “your pl**ing with yourself.” I love JK’s part, just JH does not fit in. Men don’t usually refer to themselves as whoring, that is a reference to Women. I guess we are shocked or perplexed because we Don’t hear lyrics like this from BTS, which honestly why I like them so much. Yes there are a few f words, past and present, but I would rather hear them than JH lines. I fully support JK and will continue to support him and the other Members of BTS. I never could understand why ARMY l wants BTS to have collars, I prefer BTS. 💜🫶
We do need honest reaction for sure, especially, if you are a fan. I think one should be able to voice his/her opinions whenever needed. And I don't think you are alone to feel that way toward some of the 'lyrics'. And here is my take on it. If this was written by JK, then, my reaction would be different. But as we all know, this was written and produced by the same US producers who worked on Seven, and Jack H. I guess they thought this direction would make one stand out. But as you mentioned in your video, it is in a way, western, especially US, music industry's reality. You said it yourself- daily basis, you hear so much raunchier/explicit lyrics here. So, if one needs to break into this industry with a trendy song, it kind of comes it, I guess. Why can he just sing a 'regular' song, some might ask. Well, they have been, but it didn't give them the level of recognition they deserved and rather constantly being used for other things and got disrespect in return in many occasions, as we all know. So, here we go, fight the fire with fire then! Showing them it's done and will be done by JK, aggressively. By doing that, he's trying to change the perception, prejudice, and get back at all other non senses he's and his bros have been getting...and all this in ENGLISH! God, how gutsy and sexy that is!! And only 'excellence' can achieve that! Not everyone can do it even if they wanted to. See what I am getting at? At first, of course, I was put off by the lyrics and all but right away I realized what the strategy could be behind all this. Can you kind of get it now? Hope so. It is all strategically done. The fans should know better. This is not the matter of 'oh, JK has changed or is trying to be westernized ...- NO. He's still JK we all know. Watch his latest interview. So lovable. His eyes and mannerisms are still the same~~ He doesn't pretend. The true fans really need to 'focus' on his artistry, how he's been working really hard mentally and physically, - dancing his sweat away to perfect rigorous new dance moves while singing in perfect pitch, acting, looking so stylish...not to mention mastering his English pronunciation - so right on !(Check out his performance video). Again, when you really think about it, JK is doing this for Army and his BTS bros and further more, any future Korean singers who want to make it globally, especially in the US music industry. Still against all odds like way little exposure of radio air play (compared to other singers), antis attacks with their sharp paws on whenever they can and prejudice, racism, you name it. He was brave enough to do it fully and committed to do so. He accepted the challenge. They need more than existing fans or newer female fans - they are also targeting to gain male fans and other public listeners, I think. For one thing, I see 'a lot' more 'male' and new reactors on youtube on JK songs lately for sure. It's working. One day (hope sooner), JK and BTS don't have to do all that but just sing whatever they want to do (sexy or wholesome) and still gain all the recognition they deserve and still tops the charts and just showcase all of their artistry as much as they want. Just 'Pure Win, Respect and Recognition' from other music industry and many many people in the world. Period. Because they deserve and they've been working hard at it and they also have been through so much unnecessarily left and right over the years. Because it will be a shame if this whole world didn't get to know them in a true sense, as we know them! Besides, given JK's personality, I think he's really enjoying this challenge and whole process of it. I mean Korean stage became too small for him long time ago. He was getting really bored before...making ramyeon noodles and all. This is it! He is flowing with the wave as his life opportunity was offered. And not many individual can live up to that. JK should've been up here long time ago. What I do wish though is....he really needs a real great song whether it is ballad or what not for the next. I think these two songs are to grab people's attention, and he did. The final move should be 'grand' which can really 'maximize' all that he has as an artist. I really hope so. I don't care if it takes to change the producers...I mean, why not. (I am sure these two songs made them millions already.) So, I want to leave with these words to some of the fans and army (don't care about Anties). I want to believe Bang PD knows what he's doing (so does JK). I know Bang PD is a very very smart person. As BTS has showed us and proved us with so many things over the years (10 year and going), they have track records, substance. Get out of your 'entitlement' mentality and see it from the above, see the big picture. And support him JK madly! It's a real shame that he needs to go to military soon. I gather he and the rest of mangnae line will join the military soon by the end of year, which only explains 2025 BTS timeline. He has to go to military at 26? What a huge waste? THAT I am so frustrated about, it is his prime age for god's sake. I'm just going to pray for him that he and his other bros can return without any accident or issues from the military. Love always, JK!
It was cute how you were so careful in saying how you felt about Jack’s rap. I actually listen to this version more than the alternative one, which is without him, because I like Jack’s voice and flow. The choice of words could have been better but I took his first verse to be him outing himself as a once man-wh0re who behaved questionably with girls in the past. Second verse was him asking the girl he’s having a long distance thing with to meet him in person and give him a chance, with no obligations.
I really do like watching your reaction and I do respect your opinion and I have watched a couple of your BTS mv reaction. Please don’t take it so seriously and just enjoy it. Thanks and take care sweetheart ❤ Btw you are so beautiful in and out😊
Yeah this is a pretty normal verse from Jack. He's known to be a very big flirt with men and women. I feel like he handled the verse pretty well and wasn't disrespectful. Like him saying "Okay now you're whoring" referring to himself being a whore not the girl. Jack's a pretty sweet guy in real life and I can understand why you feel that way if you don't really listen to Hip-Hop :)
yeah i feel like a looot of people misunderstood jack's verse completely and blew it out of proportion and it created a very nasty buzz which is honestly sad because he seemed so excited about this collab, he was dming army all day yesterday and being super nice and hyping jungkook and the fandom up :// personally i dont mind it and i feel it fits with the song (honestly after ive listened to 3d a couple of times i started seriously vibing to it, i know it by memory by now haha) but let me explain why i think its rlly not that bad considering hes an american rapper who raps mostly about sexual stuff: in my opinion hes sort of bashing his own past self. he starts with "i'm on my jungkook" basically implying that jungkook can get any girl he wants and make them fall for him until he's the last guy they'll have and with those first lines jack says that he's now the same. the dead body line threw me off a bit on the first listen but tbh its just a "shocking" kinda morbid way of saying that his girl is so beautiful that his friends would drop everything to see her when he shows her off. and i think people were mostly upset by the "counting girls" part but jack is rapping all those lines in past tense, it literally starts with "used to". and he makes fun of himself for having multiple partners, he calls himself horny and a whore. it's all super corny, cheeky and very on brand for him so idk, i get why people could be shocked/uncomfortable or something but i really do think the outrage i saw online was mostly because people didnt expect any of that on a jungkook song even after seven
Described it perfectly, thank you. I hate people calling Jack Harlow's verse 'misogynistic" when it is very much not. Consent is also metioned throughout the song multiple times for ex: "So if you're ready, and if you'll let me" and "You don't gotta guarantee me nothing".
The problem is armys over analyzing the lyrics just enjoy Jungkooks vocals, adlibs, choreo, visuals and the music video. JH smoothness of flowing the rap into Jk tone compliment their voice.. Just trust Jungkook and support him
I feel the same way as you do on this, I like the song but I wasn't expecting the rap to be like that. I know if JK likes it then that's good but I personally feel like the rap wasn't a right fit idk. What I wish we could get is rapper JK back lol, I love when he raps, I always think back to his version of Ddaeng from their festa. Overall its a good song but I didn't like the Jack Harlow parts, sorry for anyone who feels differently on that but its just my opinion. And just a little note, I hope you're getting some rest and are doing well through all the stress of school and work :)
Tbh the only thing I major side eyed at was the d*ad body thing. I understand the context but it was just soo… unnecessary 😂 his whole rap was poorly executed. But besides that the song is a bop and jungkook sounds amazing. I do wonder why they felt the feature was necessary because hearing the alternative version, I think it’s way better.
Honestly the process was probably like always for collabs: JK having a collab and sending him the part of the song that would be his feature, and Jack writing his own lyrics into it. JK would need to accept it either way if he likes it a lot or a little yk
I'm not a prude and I don't care who or how many people someone is sleeping with, but I don't particularly want to hear about it. To me, it's less about what he's doing and more about the way Jack Harlow is talking about it. It comes across like he's bragging about all of the women that he's been with and that's a little offensive to me. I like the way his verse flows, but I really don't like the subject matter or the way he's talking about it. Because of that, I prefer the alternate version that doesn't have Jack Harlow in it at all. Lyrics are really important to me and if this wasn't a JK song, I wouldn't listen to it more than once. I'm not the kind of person to enjoy rapping along with a verse like that and that takes a LOT of the enjoyment out of the song for me. I love singing along with JK, though. It's just Harlow's verse that I don't like.
I am so with you on everything you said. I am also tired of people like myself, who didn't like the Jack Harlow parts, being accused of unable to see JK as a grown , sexual being. Absolutely not the case here. I am loving this version of the guys in chapter two...I actually found the version of them as young innocents a little weird..they are grown men as you said. What I disliked is the creepiness of JH's parts. They were both talking about the same things, but JK's lyrics were "if you're ready, and if you'll let me"...totally consensual between 2 adults...perfect. JH's lyrics almost made me feel like he was sharing nudes of some unconscious woman with his buddies. Maybe just my interpretation, but it felt creepy. I get that these are JKs choices and I will support him and stream the heck out of the song. Sonically, I absolutely love it. Thanks for reacting.
@@Nicole-wb1gq You could be 100% right about that. What was that line about? (I considered that it may refer to someone who is less than energetic in bed)...lol....just seemed sus when it was followed immediately with telling his boys to "come look". I still stand by the fact that JKs sexual escapades seemed consensual, whereas JHs didn't to me.
@@TaylorCanada8 His choice of words are a little weird but he’s comparing the way people gawk over a d*ad body. The shock. Like “hey come look at this” kinda like a car crash situation… he’s basically bragging about the girl’s body. Like her body is so hot, he’s saying “come look at this hot girl”. His rap was poorly executed but it definitely wasn’t about unconscious girls lol. Also it’s a reference to the stand by me movie.
I feel like the rapping part didn't go with the song, I still enjoyed the song but that part just threw me off. Even the ending sucked but jungkook killed it
Now that I've had time to listen more I kind of take what I said back. Jacks rap part has been stuck in my head for a few days 😂 I do prefer the alternate version though. I think my first few listens I was thrown off as I've never heard any or jacks songs but now it ain't too bad I can get past the feelings I originally felt
If JK rapped it would have been better. Harlow had a great flow but his lyrical aspect…… yeah nah. I also didn’t like it ending with Harlow. The song is a BANGER either way though, I’ve began looking past the rap thing and just vibing with the beats and JKs parts lol (although if it was a stronger rap it would have made the song great)
I’m 60 yr old Asian living in US. I don’t understand some of the Jack’s lines. I do know it’s not clean. His lines r censored in S Korea streaming service n probably radio, too. I do love anything Bts sing esp JK. Jk did most of his promo in US n UK n not much in S Korea bec of the explicit part of Seven. Watch the Dance Performance Video n esp Dance Practice Video. S Korea like many Asian countries r conservatives. In fact, tattoo is taboo. And of course, Jk have 2 lip piercing, multiple earrings n brow piercing. He is rebellious n a non conformist.
I love the song. Jk vocals are perfect and i honestly i really like Jack rapp. It is sad that he is getting so much hate for it. I think it’s not fair to him
Honestly I'm not very fond of this "rap" part😅 I like seeing Jk enjoying this new chapter. I like this song and rithym but honestly the rap doesn't fit right for me. Thank you for always being honest
Is JK talking about 🥇🚿? Harlow's rap isn't salacious if u carefully listen to what he's saying.. but I found it lacking in skill & cohesion, like a grade school rap.
No ur nice but others hate a lot on Jack and even on Jk that is sad all they doing is producing fan song for fans so let’s not spread negativity and appreciate them
Hate to say this but Lotto's verse was just as "awful" or "mature" as JH if not more but I don't hear any complains and discomforts b/c she's a woman??
The difference for me and I can only speak for myself is that a specific line from JH triggered me and only I know why that is, so I didn't care for it. If you're talking about me specifically expressing "complaints and discomforts" towards her I believe in my reaction for Seven I didn't even comment on Latto's verse at all. I didn't praise it or say that I didn't like it. It has nothing to do with her being a woman and that's honestly unfair to assume that. If you're speaking generally about people not complaining about her verse or if it's because she's a woman, I can't speak for others, and I won't assume that of others. Opinions are subjective and if someone doesn't like it that's fine, and if they do like it that's fine too. Which is also what I said in this reaction. This was all my personal opinion and if someone has a differing opinion there is nothing wrong with that :)
you mentioned that you been listening to western artists songs with profanity lyrics on daily basis and when it comes to a grown Eastern artist it's not okay. Isn't this low-key stereotype and racist towards Asian men? I really liked your previous reactions and I'm sorry if my comment sounds offensive but this one comment you made really don't sit well with me...
I didn't do a good job wording that sentence for sure. I meant that I hear those types of songs daily being on the radio, and at work. I don't actively seek out that sort of music. But there is no way of you knowing that because I didn't explain that, so I apologize for that misunderstanding. I did however state plenty of times that JK is a 26-year-old grown man and if he wants to make music like this, he has every right to and that at the end of the day it's just a song and it's not that serious. None of my "critiquing" was even about JK to begin with. The only things I didn't necessarily like were JH lines, and even then, I went on to say it's very possible I'm misunderstanding what he is saying. However, the line "I've got you playing with yourself on camera" is a line that I don't like, and that's fine if people do like it! I could be interpreting it differently than others and that's alright, I just didn't care for it personally. But the beauty of it is that there are so many different versions that everyone can enjoy this song in a way that they see fit :)
I prefer the alternative version without the Jack Harlow verse.
I don't dislike it, I just love hearing more of JK's voice. This song is a banger either way. Love it!
I am you! My very reaction...loved the whole song until Jacks part. I actually expected not to like it and that it would make me raise my eyebrows because I have very low expectations from western rap.

So your reaction is truly quite typical of what’s our there....that’s fine!
What I find sad is the people who are hating on Jk or Jack or those people who are hating on others who didn’t like it or those that loved it. My thoughts on this is, first, Army is not the target market for this...JK is on a mission to get more exposure and acceptance in Western market where this feature will be most appreciated. I think it’s a brilliant strategy. Second...as you pointed out he is not an innocent teen anymore. He has been showing this more rebel style since he started getting his tattoo...he made a whoLe sleeve to show the world his authentic self for years now.

I still like Seven more and lattos verses...but this is a great follow up. So excited for his album!
I Looved very Much 3d song i will not listening to an alternative versión Of The Song Im Very Proud Of jk AND Im Very Proud Of Be An Army
I like your honest reaction! as always
4:11 😂 ur dog at the back

I need people to see him just the way people see Drake and Justin Bieber, not a guy from a “category”. Seriously Bad Bunny sings in language a lot of people don’t understand but still mainstream WHY NOT JK? The xenophobia needs to end!
During the choreo,when he was singing at 3:52, the hands reminded me of Hobi in cns lol. 😊
As an Japanese woman who had lived in England for 10 years, I just found Jack Harlow lyric 'Ewwww!'. I just prefer the alternative version..
I agree with you, please do not hesitate be honest. Another UTuber also said the same thing. I especially did not like “your pl**ing with yourself.” I love JK’s part, just JH does not fit in.

There's an alternative version that doesn't have Jack Harlow's part and more of JK's vocals.
The live version is fantastic all dance please watch

Btw you are so beautiful in and out😊
Your face when he sang champagne confetti! SAME SAME SAME 🤣
Same here .. had similar reaction as you on my first couple of listens. JK’s part is bop love it 💜 but didn’t take to Jack’s part much.
lmFao at your fave during Jack's part 😂💜 it's OK the song is still good we'll just gloss over his parts 😂
"Iiiiiiii- I-okay... I fe- idknooow- hmmmm.... 🤔😂...🤔 I'm conflicted on wha-i-OKAY.... I didn't *love* that..." lmao ifly 💜
It's not what he said being "obsene" bad- it's what he said being lame bad lmao
Yeah this is a pretty normal verse from Jack. He's known to be a very big flirt with men and women. I feel like he handled the verse pretty well and wasn't disrespectful.

in my opinion hes sort of bashing his own past self. he starts with "i'm on my jungkook" basically implying that jungkook can get any girl he wants and make them fall for him until he's the last guy they'll have and with those first lines jack says that he's now the same. the dead body line threw me off a bit on the first listen but tbh its just a "shocking" kinda morbid way of saying that his girl is so beautiful that his friends would drop everything to see her when he shows her off. and i think people were mostly upset by the "counting girls" part but jack is rapping all those lines in past tense, it literally starts with "used to". and he makes fun of himself for having multiple partners, he calls himself horny and a whore. it's all super corny, cheeky and very on brand for him so idk, i get why people could be shocked/uncomfortable or something but i really do think the outrage i saw online was mostly because people didnt expect any of that on a jungkook song even after seven
Described it perfectly, thank you. I hate people calling Jack Harlow's verse 'misogynistic" when it is very much not. Consent is also metioned throughout the song multiple times for ex: "So if you're ready, and if you'll let me" and "You don't gotta guarantee me nothing".
Exactly
The problem is armys over analyzing the lyrics just enjoy Jungkooks vocals, adlibs, choreo, visuals and the music video. JH smoothness of flowing the rap into Jk tone compliment their voice.. Just trust Jungkook and support him
@@anne.joys09 yes some army's are over analyzing just take it to the surface and enjoy it listen to it
I thought of Not Today😁
I feel the same way as you do on this, I like the song but I wasn't expecting the rap to be like that. I know if JK likes it then that's good but I personally feel like the rap wasn't a right fit idk. What I wish we could get is rapper JK back lol, I love when he raps, I always think back to his version of Ddaeng from their festa. Overall its a good song but I didn't like the Jack Harlow parts, sorry for anyone who feels differently on that but its just my opinion.
And just a little note, I hope you're getting some rest and are doing well through all the stress of school and work :)
Tbh the only thing I major side eyed at was the d*ad body thing. I understand the context but it was just soo… unnecessary 😂 his whole rap was poorly executed.
But besides that the song is a bop and jungkook sounds amazing. I do wonder why they felt the feature was necessary because hearing the alternative version, I think it’s way better.
Wow I'm so happy for reaction ❤
Totally agree with you!
The rap lyrics is too much, for me it's offensive......
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Honestly the process was probably like always for collabs: JK having a collab and sending him the part of the song that would be his feature, and Jack writing his own lyrics into it. JK would need to accept it either way if he likes it a lot or a little yk
Champagne confetti is exactly what we think it is 😂💦
I'm not a prude and I don't care who or how many people someone is sleeping with, but I don't particularly want to hear about it. To me, it's less about what he's doing and more about the way Jack Harlow is talking about it. It comes across like he's bragging about all of the women that he's been with and that's a little offensive to me. I like the way his verse flows, but I really don't like the subject matter or the way he's talking about it. Because of that, I prefer the alternate version that doesn't have Jack Harlow in it at all. Lyrics are really important to me and if this wasn't a JK song, I wouldn't listen to it more than once. I'm not the kind of person to enjoy rapping along with a verse like that and that takes a LOT of the enjoyment out of the song for me. I love singing along with JK, though. It's just Harlow's verse that I don't like.
I am so with you on everything you said. I am also tired of people like myself, who didn't like the Jack Harlow parts, being accused of unable to see JK as a grown , sexual being. Absolutely not the case here. I am loving this version of the guys in chapter two...I actually found the version of them as young innocents a little weird..they are grown men as you said. What I disliked is the creepiness of JH's parts. They were both talking about the same things, but JK's lyrics were "if you're ready, and if you'll let me"...totally consensual between 2 adults...perfect. JH's lyrics almost made me feel like he was sharing nudes of some unconscious woman with his buddies. Maybe just my interpretation, but it felt creepy. I get that these are JKs choices and I will support him and stream the heck out of the song. Sonically, I absolutely love it. Thanks for reacting.
I agree but you definitely interpreted the d*ad body lyric wrong lol. It wasn’t about unconscious girls.
@@Nicole-wb1gq You could be 100% right about that. What was that line about? (I considered that it may refer to someone who is less than energetic in bed)...lol....just seemed sus when it was followed immediately with telling his boys to "come look". I still stand by the fact that JKs sexual escapades seemed consensual, whereas JHs didn't to me.
@@TaylorCanada8 His choice of words are a little weird but he’s comparing the way people gawk over a d*ad body. The shock. Like “hey come look at this” kinda like a car crash situation… he’s basically bragging about the girl’s body. Like her body is so hot, he’s saying “come look at this hot girl”. His rap was poorly executed but it definitely wasn’t about unconscious girls lol. Also it’s a reference to the stand by me movie.
Thanks for the explanation. Totally plausible.
I feel like the rapping part didn't go with the song, I still enjoyed the song but that part just threw me off. Even the ending sucked but jungkook killed it
Now that I've had time to listen more I kind of take what I said back. Jacks rap part has been stuck in my head for a few days 😂 I do prefer the alternate version though. I think my first few listens I was thrown off as I've never heard any or jacks songs but now it ain't too bad I can get past the feelings I originally felt
If JK rapped it would have been better. Harlow had a great flow but his lyrical aspect…… yeah nah. I also didn’t like it ending with Harlow. The song is a BANGER either way though, I’ve began looking past the rap thing and just vibing with the beats and JKs parts lol (although if it was a stronger rap it would have made the song great)
I’m 60 yr old Asian living in US. I don’t understand some of the Jack’s lines. I do know it’s not clean. His lines r censored in S Korea streaming service n probably radio, too. I do love anything Bts sing esp JK. Jk did most of his promo in US n UK n not much in S Korea bec of the explicit part of Seven. Watch the Dance Performance Video n esp Dance Practice Video. S Korea like many Asian countries r conservatives. In fact, tattoo is taboo. And of course, Jk have 2 lip piercing, multiple earrings n brow piercing. He is rebellious n a non conformist.
I love the song. Jk vocals are perfect and i honestly i really like Jack rapp. It is sad that he is getting so much hate for it. I think it’s not fair to him
Honestly I'm not very fond of this "rap" part😅 I like seeing Jk enjoying this new chapter. I like this song and rithym but honestly the rap doesn't fit right for me. Thank you for always being honest
You need to react to Jungkook to much Feat. Kid laroi the collab we never expected
There's 3D alternate Vers....You should react this
Is JK talking about 🥇🚿?
Harlow's rap isn't salacious if u carefully listen to what he's saying..
but I found it lacking in skill & cohesion, like a grade school rap.
Please listen to more Jack Harlow videos.
No ur nice but others hate a lot on Jack and even on Jk that is sad all they doing is producing fan song for fans so let’s not spread negativity and appreciate them
Nah Jack killed it🔥🔥 y’all just not used to Jk being more open about his lyrical aspect in his new song! Same thing happened wit seven still bangers
JK did not write this song.
@@mamabearlovesbts6087 it doesn’t really matter who wrote it he approved it and liked it
@@mamabearlovesbts6087 and just like any other collab Jack sent his verse to Jk and by my guess He also liked it😂😂
I feel like jack harlow had a better verse than jk. As a whole the song wasn’t great tbh
Hate to say this but Lotto's verse was just as "awful" or "mature" as JH if not more but I don't hear any complains and discomforts b/c she's a woman??
The difference for me and I can only speak for myself is that a specific line from JH triggered me and only I know why that is, so I didn't care for it.
If you're talking about me specifically expressing "complaints and discomforts" towards her I believe in my reaction for Seven I didn't even comment on Latto's verse at all. I didn't praise it or say that I didn't like it. It has nothing to do with her being a woman and that's honestly unfair to assume that.
If you're speaking generally about people not complaining about her verse or if it's because she's a woman, I can't speak for others, and I won't assume that of others. Opinions are subjective and if someone doesn't like it that's fine, and if they do like it that's fine too. Which is also what I said in this reaction. This was all my personal opinion and if someone has a differing opinion there is nothing wrong with that :)
you mentioned that you been listening to western artists songs with profanity lyrics on daily basis and when it comes to a grown Eastern artist it's not okay. Isn't this low-key stereotype and racist towards Asian men? I really liked your previous reactions and I'm sorry if my comment sounds offensive but this one comment you made really don't sit well with me...
I didn't do a good job wording that sentence for sure. I meant that I hear those types of songs daily being on the radio, and at work. I don't actively seek out that sort of music. But there is no way of you knowing that because I didn't explain that, so I apologize for that misunderstanding.
I did however state plenty of times that JK is a 26-year-old grown man and if he wants to make music like this, he has every right to and that at the end of the day it's just a song and it's not that serious. None of my "critiquing" was even about JK to begin with. The only things I didn't necessarily like were JH lines, and even then, I went on to say it's very possible I'm misunderstanding what he is saying.
However, the line "I've got you playing with yourself on camera" is a line that I don't like, and that's fine if people do like it! I could be interpreting it differently than others and that's alright, I just didn't care for it personally.
But the beauty of it is that there are so many different versions that everyone can enjoy this song in a way that they see fit :)
