Jack Harlow - Come Home The Kids Miss You ALBUM REVIEW

Harlow is speedrunning killing his career with this one.

I love how Dua Lipa "approved" that song and she said "it's okay, I guess." pretty much sums up the whole album

Harlow maxed his charisma and had no xp left for inspiration

If "airport rap" is a thing then this album is the literal definition of that

That was actually the highlight of the album

I want him to increase his tempo and energy to make more songs like what’s poppin and ghost especially. That’s when I feel like he’s at his best and I really hope he does well because we can’t have shit in Kentucky

Man this review was brutal. usually fantano has no problem ripping into artists but this had " I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." energy, like a sad parent. Damn...

Hey now Anthony. You had me up until you shat on “Eat so much shrimp I got iodine poisoning.” That is a legendary line. First used by Pimp C on Sippin on Syrup and even reused by your fav Danny Brown on Belly of the Beast and IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY you actually applauded his usage of the same bar on that track for its absurdity.

To think this album got the same score as Swimming is a slap in the face to Mac Miller’s spirit

For me, this album is straight out of Drake's handbook. Safe, few radio friendly joints, and a host of artists and producers phoning it in. I hate that I have to say this cause I like the guy. He was an everyday kid who just kept rapping and eventually found the right sound which made him stand out amongst his immediate peers. Loose, Confetti, Sweet Action, and even That's What They All Say are great for me. Come Home The Kids Miss You is what happens when artists and labels decide to be safe cause that will always get the job done, but it also comes at the cost of the quality.

This is one of your best reviews ever Anthony! Very thorough, with relevant background info. And written very well, you never bashed Harlow like so many others are doing. Fair criticisms and entertaining. Good job dude.

I think Jack could learn a thing or two from Lil nas x, although they have completely different backgrounds and topics to talk about, I think they operate in the same realm of pop rap and had a similar meteoric rise to fame, yet lil nas has been able to make catchier songs with more memorable statements and implement cool features

Anthony must really like Dua Lipa

It’s unfortunate bc I’ve been a huge fan of his but I completely agree, this album fell flat as hell. He wayyyy overhyped this as a charcuterie board when all it was was a 24 pack of Kraft Singles. Inoffensive, has its moments when it can hit the spot, but ultimately not the top cheese you’d hope to find.

Jack Harlow is like Olive Garden. That one time you ate there when you were 12, you loved it. Now it's only good when you have a coupon, and all other restaurants are closed, and you happen to have a crush on the server.

It has become clear to me that Jack Harlow is incredibly talented and confident, but he has run out of things to say or talk about. I have high hopes still about what he can write in the future but I was concerned in the past that his best work was only in features or singles, as many were of Lil Nas X. Nas X proved us wrong with Montero, but Jack needs to dig deeper to find subject matter worth talking about outside the normal swagger topics. I like in some verses prior he explored his distain for internet hype culture, but I don't know if there is enough to talk about to make an album out of. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Given how quickly he blew up, I actually think this will be good for him. I didn't know an album at this level of the music industry could feel 'lazy' despite all the money and risk involved, but here we are.

The title of the album is so 10/10 and the album cover is somewhat intriguing that it makes you expect waaaaaaaay more that what you encounter. I expected songs like State Fair flooding the album... not what I actually found. And even some musical bases are not that bad, but the lyrics... THE LYRICS... some are trashy af

I hate to say it, but this album was genuinely hard for me to listen through. Can’t help but feel his personality carries him in terms of why people rate him.

I mean I get people think Harlow has zero talent, but this release is so baffling. By whatever sacrifice he made to the devil, Harlow has landed a golden career. So many people love him (even if you don't), and he's hitting success after success. So with everything going his way, even from a purely selfish/marketing perspective, you would have thought they would have put more effort into this album.
