@@detail1090 i was going off of Distrokid upload. Anytime I've uploaded a beat tape I've did under 30 minutes they would place it under EP. I once did one over 30 minutes and it was labeled an Album. Maybe different distro companies do it slightly different.

[@billystewart10]

It’s a fire album, Jack done his thing 🔥

[@jaebarnes]

Harlow album is dope. Not sure why people are so critical and want to dislike artists these days. We got good introspective raps over soul samples .not sure what else he can do to please people.

[@AudioTheory]

he did a good job but I think the main issue is that the album in a lot of cases felt like he was seeking approval from hip-hop purists so much that it overshadowed him just making great songs that could speak for themselves, so it felt very safe and bland at times. I think he has potential to grow though and hopefully he can just get back to having fun since his older music had that aura and appeal

[@jaebarnes]

@@AudioTheory I didn't get safe or bland from this album at all. And people need to revisit his back catalog as well he has quality albums. "Gazebo" being my favorite by him, and I discovered the album years after it had been out because I simply wanted to hear his story and more about him. I think older "hip hop purists" trying to gatekeep the genre is pointless especially when we have someone like Jack who can REALLY RAP. as much trash that pollutes the airwaves now it's no way I'm going to be over critical of a white rapper who actually can rap and isn't trying to be someone he is not. "Jackman" is refreshing to me because we got enough opp, NY drill trash, junkie trap rap from our so called black artists. I can appreciate what Jack has to offer without trying to dissect everything about it. 💯

[@AudioTheory]

@@jaebarnes true, and yeah i love all his old work especially Confetti and Gazebo. But now that he's a heartthrob superstar it seems like the pressure is weighing on him to not be perceived as a tiktok rapper for teenage girls and I don't want him to make music to desperately *prove* he can rap because such and such said he has no substance, I just want him to continue "doing him" without worrying about the hip-hop purists is all. "Wasted Youth" and "Heavy Hitter" have a mainstream sound but he executes them so flawlessly and authentically that I think he can satisfy both sides of the spectrum by doing a blend of it all in his next album

[@jaebarnes]

@@AudioTheory agreed. I just want every artist to make the music they want to make. And in Jack's case he has a ton of music that I personally feel is great at just doing that. I'm sure the major label wants another smash record but it will happen on its own. I really don't understand the opinions most the times when I watch a JBP clip. It sounds like people who go into every project trying to be negative. Like if I don't like an artist I don't even check they album out, it seems at times they don't like certain artists for reasons unknown then can't wait to pod about how they don't like the album. I doubt anyone other than Parks actually listened to it. Lol

[@AudioTheory]

@@jaebarnes lmao yeah doesnt sound like they listened to very much which is super unfair. At least they didnt go too hard on him like they could have

[@henryhudson4965]

I'm Old School I need three verses and two choruses in a song.

[@TheOuttaPocketVarietyShow]

I think our people gotta just start coming out and admitting they just don't wanna hear white rappers because it's quite clear this is all based on personal dislike. Which is fine, you don't have to like someone. But when he makes commercial, uptempo records he was a culture vulture (which is interesting to me because I HIGHLY doubt anyone would tell DJ Drama that he brought a culture vulture onto his label) And now Jack makes more soulful, storytelling records on this album and it's "I played 3 records then turned it off" Like I said, our people got the right to say whatever when it comes to hip hop but it's disingenuous to sit here and act like Jack isn't talented, especially for being 23-24 during this generation. The dislike/disinterest is because he's white.
