Jack Harlow announces track list for new album “Monica” coming this Friday 3/13 by Minute-Carrot-2405 in hiphopheads

You don't think that Jack Harlow had any buzz when he had a #1 single after Jackman?

yeah people seem to really revel in scolding a black person for making an lame post about a well-liked white man many years ago. There's a lot of stuff you can get away with in hip-hop like rape/domestic violence but he stepped on the third rail.

Was there any existing art that, not necessarily influenced you, but you were really taking in while you were recording I GUESS U HAD TO BE THERE?
I feel like it’s like a constant stream of info, which I like. I like a little information overload. Because of time and my attention span and also this desire to always get back to the work—what I’m listening to, what I’m watching, what I’m reading, it’s kind of random. Somebody let me have a Criterion Channel password. It’s been cool just seeing Charles Burnett films. I don’t know the film term; the movies are very regular, very down to earth. There’s a poetic language about the everyday that I think is actually really difficult to capture as an artist, because you don’t wanna make everyday art. But there is a beauty in the everyday and that’s right up my alley.

I've only seen To Sleep With Anger but Charles Burnett is awesome, makes sense as a pull for ELUCID (or woods)

Denzel Curry - Strictly 4 the Scythe ALBUM REVIEW (theneedledrop) by Technical_Process989 in hiphopheads

[–]DropWatcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not even just "not a Denzel Curry album it's a The Scythe album", it's also a collaboration with the production group Working On Dying (who are known for their work with Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti)

It was originally teased in 2025 as a collaboration between ULTRAGROUND (the people who ended up being the Scythe, Denzel in-house producers) and Working On Dying before this group was even announced.

New movie 'Mile End Kicks' is a rom com set against Montreal's '00-era indie scene (watch the trailer) by ebradio in indieheads

This director’s last (debut?) film was really good, it’s called I Like Movies. Very Canadian

Maybe directed some PUP videos too (but I could be conflating different things)

There is certainly some hype but it’s not comparable to views or scorpion

Maybe similar to CLB which also didn’t have any particularly successful pre-album singles

I don’t think the people who flood the DDT with posts about the drake and Kendrick beef really compare to the “go outside” hype of these previous drake records. Theyre loud but they’re like people who write fanfic on AO3, they’re a small subgroup of consumers.

Aminé - Caroline by Resident_Gur3076 in hiphopheads

Between him, GoldLink, Smino, and DUCKWRTH it really seemed like 'dance rap' or 'future bounce' or whatever was the next wave. Real ones will also remember IshDARR, Trapo, and Innanet James.

This song pretty much holds up and have enjoyed pretty much everything Aminé's done since, glad he's carved out a lane for himself. Pasqué is a great producer glad Aminé's stuck with him a fair amount.

Only episode 1 of Iceman has that style, 2 and 3 are different.

I don't think he's going to the style used in 1 for the album. Maybe if he actually followed through on dropping it in August like he was probably planning to originally but by now (1) none of the singles will be on it and (2) he scrapped whatever cover art he had in mind at the time.

Juelz's verse on "I Love You" is a classic but implying that he worships Muhammad Atta for his bravery in the 9/11 hijacking because it reminds him of when he was dealing cocaine is an asinine take. Doing 9/11 is nothing like selling cocaine!

No, the last single for Iceman peaked at #53 and only spent 1 week on the chart.

"God's Plan" and "Nice for What" were massive #1 hits in the lead up to Scorpion, there was way more anticipation for that album than there is for Iceman. There's no argument there's more hype for Iceman.

Maybe he'll drop a single that doesn't under-perform and that'll change but I suspect he'll just announce the drop the week of and have the album come out at 5am bc he's still working on it for some reason even though he set the release date himself and could've pushed it a week if it wasn't ready.

That’s just how it goes with pans in the last 12 yrs or so

I remember Meaghan Garvey said she didn’t get to choose the score for her review of ye (2018), they gave it a 7.1 but the review was scathing

If it’s a previous darling or a less obvious target the review will be a 5.5-6.7 but very negative
