Jack Harlow - Come Home The Kids Miss You ALBUM REVIEW
He made a reference to Mavi and his album Let The Sun Talk on this. That’s just badass.
Is it too much to call Jack Harlow a star at this point? Even if he isn’t my cup of tea, I can totally understand why he’s popular. He’s got the charisma that some rappers don’t have. For lack of a better term, he’s Drake at home. I don’t think Harlow’s proven that he’s a hit-making machine, but his feature on Lil Nas X’s “INDUSTRY BABY” really impressed me. Unfortunately, his last album, That’s What They All Say, ended up coming and going in a flash to me. I’m hoping that with this new album, Come Home The Kids Miss You, he tries a little more to set himself apart. The declaration he’s made about only having legends as features rang true, with Drake, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, and Justin Timberlake being legends in their own right. It seems like Harlow is using this project to prove he can hold his own. Does he do this? Let’s get into it.
It’s weird that I can think of two routes a white rapper can go down in this era. You can either be a Mac Miller or a G-Eazy. You can start out making harmless pop rap and eventually become something more than that, what that is is up to the artist. On the flip side, you’ll always be trying to chase for a hit, doing anything you can do so. I don’t know what point Harlow’s gonna be at by the end of his career, but it seems like he’s going the G-Eazy route. I don’t know, man. I just didn’t feel anything listening to this. Harlow wasn’t bad on this, but he wasn’t outstanding in any way. Even the features just seem like they’re just… there. Even Drake, outside of some odd Pusha T disses, actually had a pretty good feature. Surprisingly, the production on here is pretty good too, especially since I assume this had a big production budget. Either way, Come Home The Kids Miss You is an album that exists. Jack Harlow’s just a goofy little man who can rap.
