Jackman. and why it's not all that-

An album review of Jack Harlow's newest album, Jackman. (2023)

Jackman. (2023) is the newest album from Kentucky rapper Jack Harlow, who gained international fame with his pop rap song, WHAT’S POPPIN (2020). However, he breaks from this style in Jackman., exploring the genres of conscious rap and storytelling in rap, over the short span of 24 minutes divided into 10 songs.

This album follows last year's release, Come Home The Kids Miss You (2022), which disappointed many critices and fans alike. In contrast, Jackman. has received a lot of praise, with people reacting positively to his change in genre and citing his lyricism as having greatly improved He shows clear inspiration from artists such as Drake, with songs like Is that Ight? and It Can’t Be which is reminiscent of a J. Cole track.

The album kicks off with Common Grounds, a song where Harlow critiques American white suburban kids who appropriate Black American culture. In doing so, he seemingly acknowledges his own part in rap culture. However, this is later downplayed by It Can’t Be, where Harlow sarcastically states that his success is solely due to his hard work and not his skin color, neglecting to acknowledge the privilege he has.

Throughout the album, the instrumentals are stripped down to give space for the lyricism, but this does not always work in Harlow's favor. His flow is very uniform throughout, and he neglects to take full advantage of the auditory storytelling elements. However, They Don’t Love It is an example of one of his stronger songs on the album.

On his lyrically absolute strongest song, Gang Gang Gang, Harlow sets the tone with its eerie-sounding hook:

Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs

This is heard between verses of storytelling where Harlow experiences the disgust and horror of finding out two childhood friends, one of whom grew up to be a serial rapist and the other a pedophile. The storytelling is one of the strongest elements on the album, but it is still somewhat lackluster and flat, undercut by the fairy tale ending of the song.

Overall, the album is a great improvement on his previous work and shows that we can expect more from Harlow than just clever lines and fun songs. However, the album seems half-finished and lacks depth despite its focus on conscious rap. While it may not be part of my rotation, I will be listening out for what Harlow has in store for us in the future.

fascinated by people claiming that deadpool is straight meanwhile here's how they marketed Deadpool 3:

meow meow

you can get a print here

[mischievous-thunder]

What was considered peak masculinity back in the 2000s is now considered as little meow meow energy in 2024

This clearly shows how far we've progressed and become even more improved versions of ourselves.

As for this godly man, he's still as fiery and yet so sweet even two decades later, if not more, as he was all those years ago.
