Hey, everyone, welcome to my show where I share my thoughts and break down the latest music and pop culture. So let's get into it today. I want to talk about the unwavering obsession with Jack Carlo. If you've been on social media or just a fan of music in general, then you'll have felt his presence one way or another to give a bit of context. The American rapper roasted prominence following his 2020 single What's Pop in, which wasted no time and going viral tiktok. This, coupled with a remix featuring versus From the Baby Lanes, pushed the song to place Number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 essentially projected tax career. Now, two years later, Jack has become somewhat of an icon for this generation, and I use that term loosely. His charm, charisma and relax demeanor has somehow put the Internet into a choke hold. A compilation of him flirting with fans have gone viral, their accounts dedicated to documenting his manicures. Commentary on why women, particularly black women are so infatuated with him, has taken over Twitter and rappers like Kanye hailing him as the top five out right now and yeah, off the back of his latest viral hit, First Class, which samples for the classic single Glamorous Jack released his second album, Come Home, The Kids Miss You, which so far has received incredibly mixed reviews. I mean, Pitchfork gave the album of 2.9. Personally, I don't get the hype, but this inescapable feel is giving very much Drake in terms of Jack's ubiquitous presence. Yes, it might not reach the same capacity as Drake, but I don't think the Jack Hollow effect is going anywhere anytime soon.
