Jack Harlow’s promo tour in support of his Come Home The Kids Miss You album continued on Tuesday (May 17) with his third official visit to his friends over at the L.A. Leakers show. The Louisville native freestyled over what he dubbed to be the “best rap beat of all-time” in Snoop Dogg and Pharrell’s 2004 classic “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
Being the calculated superstar he is, Missionary Jack sped through his rhymes in about a minute to make sure the clip could fit on social media platforms with ease. He touched on topics such as acceptance in rap, putting his friends on, women and more.
“I keep on showing up and y’all boys are just absent again/Dropped a new joint, she got a new set of captions/Y’all don’t got passion, you just be wearing the fashion that’s in/I used to beg for acceptance, don’t plan on asking again,” he raps.
Based on the YouTube comment section, most fans weren’t feeling Jack’s latest slew of bars on the show.
“As a fan, definitely his weakest free style but at least we got a free style unlike others lmao,” one person wrote while another added, “Huge jack fan but this was MID. you can feel the lack of hunger from all the success.”

With more love, comes the hate as well. Harlow’s sophomore album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 113,000 total album-equivalent units sold in the first week, marking his highest-charting project to date.
BASURA JUST CAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR.
Raps a lot better than a lot of current african american artists
Im a culture vulture
Why do black people play football then?
Good sh!t! Beat was ass though
Here’s the thing about Jack Harlow…There is nothing intriguing about his back story. Or him in general. There was no hard knock life. And he’s not clever enough to weave strong narratives, tell creative stories or just generally come across as super vulnerable. Therefore all your left with is someone who knows how to “really rap” But what is that? Really? In an interview he stated “people know me by now as the white boy that can really rap.” Bruh, lots of people can “really rap.” Lots of ‘white boys’ who don’t have record deals can “really rap” and are capable of putting together far more introspective and or clever full length albums. Lots of black dudes who don’t have record deals can “really rap” and are capable of putting together far more introspective and or clever full length albums. Lots of Hispanic dudes…ok you get my point. Being able to “really rap” and the ability to craft timeless classics are two completely different things.
About 14 years ago we were basically sold the same package in a different form by the same man: DJ Drama. Yeah, remember Asher Roth? Remember why his career never really took off? Because all he could do was “really rap.” Jack Harlow better figure out that nobody really cares to hear him rap about his “newfound popstar life” or which r&b chick he wants to poke if he wants to have a long and successful career.
Call me a hater…but I’m right
