celeb news Jack Harlow's album panned by Pitchfork (2.9/10), exposes his chin implant

[GentleDance]

 

Quote

It is among the most insipid, vacuous statements in recent pop history.

 

Quote

Harlow’s ability to rap well somehow acts as a hindrance to his ability to make good songs

 

Quote

With little substance or musical intrigue, “First Class” and “Dua Lipa” are anodyne pieces of content designed to make somebody say, “Did you hear that Jack Harlow song that samples Fergie, or the one called ‘Dua Lipa’?” There’s no better answer than a dead-eyed “Yeah.”

Quote

Harlow’s charisma does not translate onto the record, and, instead, we’re left with a one-trick pony without a discernible trick, a competent rapper who does not flow intricately or write impressively, a pop star who struggles to carry a song on his own.

Quote

These songs have topics, for sure—women, his upbringing, how he drinks pineapple juice to make his semen taste good—but Harlow does not craft vivid scenes, proffer compelling thoughts, or wring out emotion, sounding like someone forced into an introductory therapy session,

 

 

 

Pitchfork also clocked his chin implant

 

Quote

Jack Harlow is a charming, tall, and increasingly chiseled 24-year-old man

People need to stop making meme music

Did a Swiftie wrote this?

 

Spoiler

Album wasn't great but I didn't think it was bad.

 

[Venice B]

If this was the p4k from like 15 years ago this album would've got a 0.9 or something

White people doing horrible rap music. What else is new?

He makes me appreciate Post a lot more

Eminem, Macklemore, and Mac Miller can actually rap.

It’s definitely mid but it’s not 2.9, and the Peppa Pig score was just giving in to a meme.

I haven’t listened to his album yet so I can’t really speak on this, I briefly skimmed every song and nothing stood out to me immediately. First Class is a cute song for the background of a party though. 
 

Laughing at them randomly going so hard on him.

Regardless of whether people view Post as a popstar, rapper, or some hybrid inbetween, Post is good at what he does. He is insanely good at making memorable melodies, like Doja is too.

I love him and he’s the IT boy of the moment but the album is a complete snoozefest. I think he tried to hard to be different and do something outside of what’s popular in trap rap but it just… is incredibly boring and feels like the album isn’t going anywhere.

[Vermillion]

I know they're not really comparable for time of the industry and genre, but I wish this review made as much waves as Jack's is. 

 

I guess she was never remotely as commercially viable so it never would, but still. 

[magazine]

I warned you about him, guys

I'm happy they're actually starting to pan it but it's wild to see actually happen
