“Culture 3” sold 130K first week.

This album was needed for his discography. Jack opened up his fan base

Album might not be for the masses but this album actually showed rap fans that Jack is really talented lyricwise... and can actually tell a story...

Jack went back to the basics and it served him well

The production on this album is straight fire. 8/10. Great album

This album felt like him actually rapping, and not a drake 2.0 album. it sounds like HIM, his pain, and his passion. You could tell by just listening to the last album its only purpose was generating hits/streams, but this sounds like theres love for the music again

The Kids Missed You was the commerical album and Jackman was him superserving his core base

The music industry now days seems to value image and brand more than the actual music itself. If it’s catchy enough people will latch on to it because of an artists look or social media presence. Jack was able to capture fans both musically and personality wise. He delivered on this album for sure.

Album definitely was a big jump from the last, kept it simple good beats and raps

I like that he basically went back home to get more grounded and build that hunger on his last album it was emotionless it’s like that hunger died I’m glad he did that. Most artists will complain on twitter in their LA mansion. He’s hungry again

This new album from Jack was absolutely fantastic. He put honesty, passion, soul, and experience into this tape that personally helped me with my own feelings in life and showed me a new side to him. This album is definitely going to be a pivotal moment for him to show his true skill to the world

This album was not for the masses but rather him expressing his rapping talent and rhyming and writing. Hes so big that he can do that. He will make some more albums thats for the masses.

I think people listen to the album once, and automatically say it’s bad. When I first listened to it, I didn’t think it was amazing. But the more I listened, the more I enjoyed it. I love that album and his new one.

If you listened to jack before he blew up you know he just going back to his roots 💯

The album flowed together extremely well and he proved his artistry. This is who he was before. Have to give him props to him and his team for being that conscious of his fans. A lot of artists don’t go back

Jack didn’t make a tik tok album and people were tight 😭 good for him though I feel like that just means those 50k sales were a solid core fanbase

In the 90s you HAD to be the best. Nas, Biggie, Hov, Busta & DMX kept coming out tryna take the throne, not just for NY but for hip-hop. That's why their music has aged so well, it was the land of the giants.

The internet just sucks, everyone hates everything and no one can agree. If I was Jack I wouldn't give a rats ass what anyone say bc they ain't making the music 😂

I knew this album was going to be fire when I heard his verse on mockingbird valley

All the context you mentioned here is very important.. Jack really has Gohan level potential, let’s see what he does though, only time will tell.

His last album was heavily label influenced, you could tell they were going for a stream / radio friendly project. This new album is just Jack being Jack and rapping his ass off.

I love how people nowadays so quickly change there opinions. Remember Ice Spice was getting a lot of hate last yr "Omg she is trash, she can only shake her ass" now she is everyone's favourite" omg she is so sweet, she is so adorable, she is so down to 🌎"!

Jackman might not be the most exciting album, but I am a lyrical guy so I'm cool with it. He is a good live performer I went to his concert last September.

He went pop rap the last couple albums but went back to his bread and butter this album which is what the fans wanted.

He really surprised and amazed me with this album

Ya'll call everything "Mid" nowadays, don't even matter what y'all think at the end the the day, he still got his fans

Never been a Jack Harlow fan, but this new project I really enjoyed quite a bit.

Come Home the Kids Miss You is zero skips for me. I freaking love it. This new album is also great.

I feel the whole album collectively is a vibe. Been a while since I've felt that way about an album. It's got a Kanye West-ish C.D.O. vibe with a Drake-ish and a few other sneaky influences mixed all together with his flavor mashing it into, like I said before, just a good vibe album. I like the fact that it's only 10 songs. It's not messy, and one track flows into the next very nicely. So I agree, he killed it as far as sound, message, and packaging.

This is one of the best projects this year. Anyone saying otherwise is just hatin fr. People wanna pinhole him into the "corny white rapper" thing. They did it with Em, Asher, Mac, G Eazy, Macklemore. Jack is a Mac or an Em he gonna earn his respect by the time its all said and done

The album didn’t do anything but hit expectations, kept it short to leave you wanting more, had every song just as good as the one before making the album stand out rather than just one song and made it so obviously clear how badly, how determined he is to gain what he wants. Sometimes you gotta do what you want to do instead of what people expect because when we all look back on this they’re gonna see his rapping skills, not his sales.

Juice wrld and xxxtentacion were definitely big stars within the last 10 yrs hy trippin

Y’all can disagree with me if u want but I believe that if juice wrld was still alive, he would’ve been that superstar that this generation needs

Question Yassine, do you have a team rn or are you all alone putting all this content out?! I’ve been a subscriber for years 🤍 I really love the direction you’ve gone too. But dang if your doing all of this so constantly, done so amazingly informative & entertaining Wow it’s been amazing! Props either way! I’m proud to see how far you’ve come! Wishing you the best always! 🤍

Damn 'Blame on me ' had me emotional i relate so much with that song

Can we stop praising artists for doing the bare minimum. I and a lot of my friends are in the underground and would die to be in any of these lazy rappers spots, with the passion and talent to boot.

A few of his songs just don’t have replayable value. It’s like a book, you ain’t gotta read it twice to enjoy it.

aside from his controversy, Travis Scott is clearly the biggest star in rap, like are we going to forget all his commercial deals normally reserved for pop stars, I rarely even see celebs who have eras as iconic as Astroworld

Well said! Always good to see people explaining his current placement in music, and how this album came back to his roots instead of the other approach he had last time!!

He did what Roddy Rich should’ve done !!!!

"Come home the kids miss" you wasn't bad till I listened to "that's what they all say" I know I'm late but even Jackman doesn't come close .. I love this project ❤🔥

Peep, Uzi, Carti, Juice, Durk, YB, X, Polo G, and even Lil Nas X are stars that emerged in the last 10 years

He’s talking about destroy lonely when he says 26 song album🤣 He could also be talking about summrs when he says rappers that go online to argue with fans😭

Yeah yeah yeah, I can't focus after you said "social media *doesn't* work if you provide the context and nuance..." That is crazy insightful dude. Wow. Understand the issues with social media broadly speaking, but that is a distilled succinct way to share how why social media is what it is and why it HAS to be that way for it to 'work' . Wow. Interesting! Shows your expertise in assessing digital comms & trends, etc especially in music. Nice work

MGK IS the Superstar of Rap. He just is. He did Amazing at Punk Rock and Now he’s rapping again, he’s one of the best artists that have ever existed. And that’s only because he’s beginning.

I’m not a huge fan of rap and started to enjoy Jack due to his more pop-like song but I love the new album so much more.

Album wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t “crazy” good idk. When I was in HS Wayne, Cole, Kendrick, Drake, Kanye, Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, and even Mac Miller we’re all dropping mixtapes and albums in their prime years. I feel like they set the bar so high on projects during that era, it’s hard to fully be impressed by a lot of “newer” rappers who are in that lyrical/ hit making hybrid category . Like I said not a bad album by any means, but at the same time it doesn’t give me that feeling where you get the “chills” and knowing there’s a lot of songs with with shelf life that will bring reminiscence. A lot of lyrical verses/lines for sure but it just seems like something is missing. Not sure exactly what it is. Maybe I’m just becoming an old head, but even old heads during my hs years knew rappers like j.cole, Drake, Kendrick, Wayne etc were something special. However I think it is pretty clear that Jack Harlow is here to stay and have an actual run in the game when you compare him to a lot mumble rappers who fizzled out in the 2015-2020 era as well as some of these current day drill rappers who only talk about smoking on opps.

The question now is will people really return to being a Jack fan. Tbh I don’t think he needed the whole album I would’ve dropped a 2 pack with excellent rapping using a ghostwriter if I needed to but make one of the songs a hit. Then rolled out into the jackman album

Juice was definitely a superstar lol

keep up the fantastic videos l love your content

Yah this reminded me of gazebo and I loved it he really went back to his roots and showed who he was and where he started this all from

You definitely gotta make a video bc I think there have been a handful of superstars the last 10 years

I give Jack his props for giving his a real rap album. And not trying to do bubblegum pop. And I say Doja Cat is a superstar.

I can't but feel that the sudden announcement was just a smart move by his team but at the same time it leaves a bitter taste and comes off as a cheap public opinion manipulation. Look at the thing from this angle: They realized that the last album didn't perform as expected (it was projected to sell 150-160 k first week and sold 106 k (I don't remember the exact numbers)). As a result, everything good around Jack was slowly vanishing away. Had they done the proper roll out, dropped some singles first, announced the date - and it all wouldn't have resonated with the people (especially singles) - it would've been a wrap for his career. Now, whatever the first week sales may be (except the figures being too small which is quite unlikely to happen), this is a win-win situation for Jack: 1. Sales are higher than expected ("Boy I told you he still got it in him") 2. Sales are lower than expected ("He's done this amount and all without a proper promo? It's a W for him")

I know it's probably random but you have a good voice for this. Great take too. Loved this album.

his humiliation ritual is complete he’ll be bigger then ever now watch

It's chill. It's not bad music but it's not spectacular music. It's chill. See you need some mediocre because if you release everything that is just straight fire for a couple years and no misses and then drop chill music then everyone gonna think that you fell off. Besides jack was filming a movie the facts that he dropped rn is crazy I expected him to drop a full album at the peak of summer.

Is Post Malone a super star... No? He has the loooongest torso i have ever seen in My life! This is a prove Myself Album, he genuinely loves hip-hop, the first album was him being caught up in the hype.

I think he was straight up in his comfort zone on the new album, it sounds amazing-- good mellow mix.. he could have kept 'gang gang' though, I'd have took the 9 other joints instead 😂😂

Album was fire bro people are just hating because they can't handle music talking about anything besides partying and sex, maybe the occasional toxic relationship or break up...

Nah Jack just went back to his pre-fame style he never was pop rap till he became famous

The lesson artists should learn from this is to stay yourself regardless of the success. Jack made a Jack album. Not a mainstream “whatever is popular” type album. If anything is a 9.9/10 these days, the court of public opinion will count it as a 0/10.

You’re crazy if you think we haven’t had a big star in 10 years

I love his song cold blooded killa with Eminem!

A better way to gauge sales is that number times 1.5k gives you a more good number, give or take some sales tho bc some will buy albums, this is bc 1 sale - 1.5k streams if u didn't know.

If he can do a combo of hits and lyricism kinda like what J cole does, he’s set! 🔥

Also 50k sale was crazy . Thought if he wasn't attractive he would be a lot less popular .

Jack went back to what made him Jack Harlow and decided to go a more simpler lyrical approach and more for the core fans less commercial

Fasho a straight hip hop album no frills

That is exactly what I said… jack is spitting and it is authentic and his own sound but it just doesn’t catch me ear like gazebo or confetti… but Ive been listening over and its growing on me…

“Disappeared for a year” he had a Super Bowl commercial 😂

I belive lil uzi is a superstar. He always sells well.

saying the 20 teens was filled with artists who werent good is fucking crazy lmao your takes sometimes remind me why Ion watch ya like that

The production went crazy!!

Has there been a rap superstar since travis Scott ? I feel like he’s the latest that’s crazy

Jack and Yachty dropped incredible albums

He might be on Russ's Chomp 2.5 that drops this Friday.

when in doubt, leave the pop-rap shit alone and get back to the basics.

I’ve been listening to jack since before confetti came out and I was like die hard but pretty much after that he hasn’t dropped anything close I knew what’s poppin was gonna blow him up cuz that hit when it dropped but his following albums not good and this new project makes me hopeful that he’s still able to make great music

Helloyassine is actually China Mac 😂😂😂

Culture 3 sold 130k first week

Sometimes keeping it Simple is the best thing to do !

I think Kendrick Lamar is a rapstar in every since of the term I think he is the poster child for “rap star”

Bro said jackharlow the only star that's came out in the last 10 years💀💀

I knew Jack would comeback hard for the follow-up! Just had to let him do it and he did.

The album was good can’t complain

there is no medium for jack harlow people either glaze or tear him apart lmao

I fell in love with Jack (both ways and I'm not even gay), really like to see some of the hate against him drop. Cuz he's mad popular, just not really in the "hardcore" hip hop scene

Dababy was a superstar before the festival stuff

If lil baby isn’t a super star, then I don’t know who is. You don’t get to perform at the World Cup unless you’re a superstar

thhat don toliver diss tho, i personally love love sick

Tashlopin what's popping I taught every rapper

juice wrld 1000000000% was and is a super star

I love he's album Jackman it's very new and nice plus extremely different approach in he's music 🎶🎵

Ppl forget about his old shit he is a RAPPER RAPPER that makes good catchy pop tracks

Im impressed album was great

Nah, he just should give Drake his flow back man

define superstar.......

Uzi a superstar and if you disagree you just hating 😂

I wanna hear the convo on that superstars comment Yassine.
