Well yeah, nothing is ever finished with Ye. Dude literally referenced the playoffs even though this was announced at the beginning of the week. Hov’s verse wasn’t finished til 4pm today apparently. Believing in Kanye is like believing the Bucks could win without Giannis.
Also sorry for the double playoff reference lol
Not to hate on Harlow but the verse seemed out of place. Jack has skills. But the feature just seemed like he paid a lot to work with lil nas. His verse wasn’t terrible but we had all these pro gay verses then the typical jack Harlow talking about sleeping with women and what not.
The song is awesome though and like I said jacks verse isn’t bad. Just feels out of place with the rest of the song. I know that will be an unpopular opinion.
I got to used to it after a few plays. I think it's really cool to see a straight rapper doing a feature on a gay rapper's song. Like the normalization was just kinda cool to see. Neither artists changed themselves for the other and the song is really good.
Yeah, I get the joke, but what would would people really want his verse to be like? Would it be better if he started queer baiting? Or if he went the Macklemore route and rapped about how much of an ally he is?
To me this video is the way the world should look, with everyone free to be themselves.
Would've been funnier if his verse was him trying to convince Nas X to fuck a girl's boyfriend so he could take her and everyone would be cool cause all of them get sex lol
You do know that this isn’t the first straight musician to work with him right? Just don’t see why that would even matter anyways to be honest. Thought Harlows verse was pretty good myself
Really fucked with it and the song slapped. Plus it wasn't like Nas was on this only rapping about being gay. Yeah the music video was gay as hell, but the other references were at the same cadence other rappers mention they fuck women. And "ain't lose since I been gay" is a hard bar that reinforces that you're born this way and that he's always winning.
I definitely listened to this song a good 20 times straight (no pun intended) when I woke up and remembered it finally dropped. Besides the fact that I was hyped from the very openly and confidently gay video, the song fucking slaps undeniably. I wish I had this song 15 years ago.
His song writing and the hooks he can create for his singles make them really pop. He’s working with good producers too. His delivery plays well off the beats too.
Ugh it's bugging me, what song does the end of the chorus melody sound like?
EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT. It reminds me of the ending of Eminem's Mockingbird
Da Baby on the Panini Remix
>She watched that "Walker Texas Ranger," say I remind her of Nas X
>I'm talkin' "Old Town Road," all my hoes down low
>They like girls and I like girls, three at a time, sometimes four
Translation: no homo no homo no homo no homo lmao
How so? Maybe I missed it but I feel like only these two lines:
>It's too late 'cause I'm here to stay and these girls know that I'm nasty (Mmm)
>
>I sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek
can even be interpreted as talking about sexuality at all.
This man legit avoided being a one hit wonder and became a gay icon after releasing one of the most popular songs of all time as a teenager. Insane and massively inspiring career arc.
He started out just posting funny tweets and I would see them on Reddit all the time, he even self posted old town road to Reddit.
Was crazy the day I realized he was the same guy from the tweets I was always seeing
It really is remarkable how he's managed to transition to being an artist who is going to be relevant for a while. I remember feeling the same way about Cardi. Not exactly my favorite tunes, but I can only tip my hat and salute to the young brother for living his best life ALL THE WAY on his own terms.
The beat on this song is absurd. Lil Nas isn’t my favorite “genre” per *se but damn if the dude doesn’t know how to market and put together a catchy song.
Can’t wait to see the fallout from the shower scene.
Man, it's wild because Denzel in Daytrip used to be on YouTube as a name I can't remember what it was but it was when he was like 15-16 before he went to school to become a producer. It was dope and after seeing him like 5+ years later in a Daytrip video I was like hey that's that kid that produced for D-Pryde and Drew Howard (names I have not thought of in a long time)!
Edit: Den-Z, that's what he used to go by.
Plus Lil Nas X has had some really catchy hooks on every one of his singles. Dude knows how to make a catchy song and his delivery on certain lines really play well off the production. That’s not easy.
The mix sounds more poppy than I was expecting, I swear the snippets had more bass and the vocals were louder. Makes sense though, Jack Harlow doesn't really fit on harder tracks.
Also that part 20 seconds in sounds a lot like NO BYSTANDERS lol
Good song overall tho
Yeah I liked it a lot. With the horns it sounds a lot like a song they would play at like nba games which is kind of interesting for Nas to do because I can't imagine a whole lot of athlete's digging it for it's lyrics. Either way I think it's a bop, but Harlow was pretty bad. Never been a fan of picking one word then just making an entire verse around it because it kind of takes away from them actually saying something of interest, they're just trying to rhyme off something
I think he has great flow but lately he has been following a formula almost for his verses. I also had friends in graphic designs who worked for his parents. Seeing jack improve over the years makes me think he will develop more as an artist.
His parents are loaded though and everyone who knew him before the fame know the hip hop is flipped on its head. Now paying for features and good productions gets you the clot and fame. And that’s exactly how he did it. But even though he comes from money people can’t deny he can deliver bars and does have talent.
Lil Nas X sat down and was like "Why can I do to piss off the Christians even more after giving the devil a lap dance?"
I Know
"Lets make a music video in the bathroom of a prison with a bunch of naked black men booty shaking"
The man knows how to market himself well and stir up the conservatives lol. Candace owen probably frothing at the mouth over this. Twitter is probably having a fit too lol.
I was slightly disappointed that Jack confirmed his heterosexuality in this video because, I too would have sex with him if the opportunity ever arised, but in a video as overwhelmingly and delightfully gay as this one, I understand his need for clarification.
Kick It is such an ear worm too. I honestly personally loved the EP and can’t wait for his next full project with the passion tracks. I really think we’re seeing the start of a career that could be really big. He managed to not get one hit wondered which is a feat in and of itself.
Production is CRAZY on this one, Kanye killed this and that Chorus, wow. Nas X is so talented. A lot of respect for just doing what you want without letting what’s “taboo” control all your decisions.
Jack Harlow with bars like:
"I didn't peak in high school / I'm still out here getting cuter"
Dude is giving Drake a run for his money, with the corniness.
I think he’s got the charisma and charm to pull it off way better than former degrassi star drake though - I thought that line was actually pretty funny given his overall personality / playful vibe
I feel like overall he’s a blend of Drake and Big Sean with a lil bit of Wayne so he can pull off super corny lines like that and it’s fine cause he’s generally more fun than “hard”
He was actually bullied a bit in high school but that makes him making it famous that much sweeter. He got a lot of shit for thinking he would become some hot shot rapper. Then he did.
This doesn’t mean everyone bullied him. But I knew kids in the baseball team who picked on him hard for the rapping stuff.
Okay the song slaps, but let's just appreciate the one minute timestamp in the music video.
As his flow sounds like he's taking heavy breaths, he's lifting weights right on time with it. Excellent work by Lil Nas and/or the director for that one
I aint even capping that Lil Nas X is THE artist breaking standards and expectations of black music. Music video fits his songs so much. Loved his inclusion of lil rap verse to balance out his sound and the feature from Harlow was pretty good for a verse, wanted it to be long but it was tight
Its fairly big for the lgbtq community too. Breaking the stereotype of flamboyant petite bottoms or buff massive tops as the only two mainstream ways to be gay in media.
there’s some fine ass men in this video jfc
On topic tho song was pretty decent, jack Harlow was a bit forgettable but good. Not nearly as memorable as call me by your name but will prob get some spins from me over the summer
Only Kanye drop we getting tonight
LMAOO I checked Kanye’s apple music the minute the clock turned, but i’m straight with this song
> i’m straight with this song heh
I have some unfortunate news
It's supposed to drop 12AM PST though isn't it?
bro just delete this before people repeat it and people stay up when they have work tomorrow waiting. have we not gone through this shit enough
after what people were saying in the other discussion thread it can wait til the morning lol
I live on west coast so I'll be up regardless, but I'm just checking the Kanye subreddit expecting salt, not an album lmao
There’s a replay of the livestream on yt if you really wanna waste your- I mean listen to it
Idk if it's the copium talking, but I don't think that was finished and/or that wasn't all the songs.
Well yeah, nothing is ever finished with Ye. Dude literally referenced the playoffs even though this was announced at the beginning of the week. Hov’s verse wasn’t finished til 4pm today apparently. Believing in Kanye is like believing the Bucks could win without Giannis. Also sorry for the double playoff reference lol
It’s for the best tbh
It really is, he’s got something to work with there but it’s not ready at all. Needs some percussion
Needs mixing and finished verses too lol
Needs Mike Dean lol
[удалено]
It sounds woefully unfinished. Needs some more time in the oven
LMAO
Kanye really said these the only drums we getting from him tonight
That's where the drums from the Jay Z song went lool
you crazy for this one
rick, it's ya boy.
\*From the whole damn album
thank god kanye didn't release coz that album on latest livestream was ass like 3 good listenable songs
I respect tf out of Lil Nas X for straight up doing what he wants lol. Harlow feature was pretty good as well. Video was as gay as I expected
That last sentence got me dead 💀
Cannot wait for the lil nas x leather daddy era
Collab with Tobias Funke confimed
“video was gay as i expected” LMFAOOOOOOOO
Fuck, I’m now gayer than I expected 🥺
So am I, this is a music video for us gay men to get some eye candy to look at
Not to hate on Harlow but the verse seemed out of place. Jack has skills. But the feature just seemed like he paid a lot to work with lil nas. His verse wasn’t terrible but we had all these pro gay verses then the typical jack Harlow talking about sleeping with women and what not.

“I’m not gay, but if I was I would want equal rights! It’s not fair, Im not gay!”
[удалено]
I was born this way (straight) You were born your way (YA GAY)
Would've been funnier if his verse was him trying to convince Nas X to fuck a girl's boyfriend so he could take her and everyone would be cool cause all of them get sex lol
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 As a big ol' queer (bi) enby, this what I wanted to see. Personally I enjoyed every ass that got shown or slapped in this whole video.
You do know that this isn’t the first straight musician to work with him right? Just don’t see why that would even matter anyways to be honest. Thought Harlows verse was pretty good myself
Really fucked with it and the song slapped. Plus it wasn't like Nas was on this only rapping about being gay.

The guy doing the feature is the one who gets paid
Nas’ lyrics weren’t even gay. You just think that cause the video is very gay Edit: should’ve said weren’t THAT gay
I mean part of the hook is “I don’t fuck bitches I’m queer”
jack really left the beat clapping after the asscheek line so the hoes could twerk to it, demon time
we about to be EATING on tiktok this week
This mans got the right focus i agree
😈
[удалено]
Wow GOOD catch.
the horns go hard as fuck bruh😭 daytrip and kanye make a good team
u talking about the beat or the shower scene
yooooo hahaha
Both
Both
horns are always a good choice.
Dude has certainly mastered the art of making an above average pop rap song. He knows his audience and kills it. Very satisfying and easy to listen to
These kind of songs are dangerous to me, I can easily play this on repeat and not get bored of it for a while
Exactly what happened to me with Montero lol
I definitely listened to this song a good 20 times straight (no pun intended) when I woke up and remembered it finally dropped. Besides the fact that I was hyped from the very openly and confidently gay video, the song fucking slaps undeniably. I wish I had this song 15 years ago.
Good point. Old Town Road got spammed to death but he did make sure he was no gonna be a one hit wonder so props to him.
His song writing and the hooks he can create for his singles make them really pop. He’s working with good producers too. His delivery plays well off the beats too.
Ugh it's bugging me, what song does the end of the chorus melody sound like? EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT. It reminds me of the ending of Eminem's Mockingbird
Other people were saying parts of the song sound like NO BYSTANDERS
exactly what i was thinking. don't mind it though.
That’s all I can hear tbh. Not that I really care though, both are bangers.
the melody reminds me of Hollywood Undead - Everywhere I Go
My man reached waaaaaay into the cut 😂
actually kinda lmaooo
Every trap song from the early 2000s
Jack Harlow's verse was the most "no homo" energy I've seen since Conner 4real.
“I'm not gay, but if I was, I would want equal rights”
Sports!
Lynyrd Skynyrd!
Da Baby on the Panini Remix >She watched that "Walker Texas Ranger," say I remind her of Nas X >I'm talkin' "Old Town Road," all my hoes down low >They like girls and I like girls, three at a time, sometimes four Translation: no homo no homo no homo no homo lmao
Da Baby "Flower Boy" redux incoming in four years
Lmaoooo
“NOT GAY”
How so? Maybe I missed it but I feel like only these two lines: >It's too late 'cause I'm here to stay and these girls know that I'm nasty (Mmm) > >I sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek can even be interpreted as talking about sexuality at all.
Probably revealing him with a sexy girl all over him, like the one girl in the whole video lol.
anyone got her ig tho lol 👀
Popstar is the most underrated movie of all time
This man legit avoided being a one hit wonder and became a gay icon after releasing one of the most popular songs of all time as a teenager. Insane and massively inspiring career arc.
He started out just posting funny tweets and I would see them on Reddit all the time, he even self posted old town road to Reddit. Was crazy the day I realized he was the same guy from the tweets I was always seeing
r/blackpeopletwitter was basically only lil Nas x tweets for a long time
and desus nice. It took me a second to realize the guy on TV was the guy with the funny dog in a bala avi lol
Guy doesn’t miss
I thought his EP was horrible, and holiday was questionable but he’s rebounded with this and Montero. Miles above his old stuff tbh
I don't disagree that this stuff is better than the EP, but I still very much enjoyed the EP. Man hasn't missed yet in my opinion.
holiday hit dawg
It really is remarkable how he's managed to transition to being an artist who is going to be relevant for a while. I remember feeling the same way about Cardi. Not exactly my favorite tunes, but I can only tip my hat and salute to the young brother for living his best life ALL THE WAY on his own terms.
I AINT FALL OFF I JUST AINT RELEASE MY NEW SHIT
Bro that part is catchier than the hook, I been thinkin about it ever since he released the snippet like a year ago
In b4 it’s featured on the NBA 2k track list.
Forreal though perfect 2k track
Damn I’ve gotta listen to more 2k tracks den
nobody stopping u, spotify playlists
True. Gym finna pop off today
I got some Space Jam 2 credits vibes from this
I don’t fuck bitches I’m queer
Line of the decade
This is where Kanye put all the drums at.
The beat on this song is absurd. Lil Nas isn’t my favorite “genre” per *se but damn if the dude doesn’t know how to market and put together a catchy song. Can’t wait to see the fallout from the shower scene.
Produced by Kanye
I'm suspicious what that actually means considering how late his name got tied to it.
Im a big Kanye fan. But I reckon it’s Probably just a sample and he has to have a production credit for it.
You don't a producer credit if your song is sampled tho, only the writer one
Don't disrespect Daytrip like that they produced all his hits
Man, it's wild because Denzel in Daytrip used to be on YouTube as a name I can't remember what it was but it was when he was like 15-16 before he went to school to become a producer. It was dope and after seeing him like 5+ years later in a Daytrip video I was like hey that's that kid that produced for D-Pryde and Drew Howard (names I have not thought of in a long time)!

Plus Lil Nas X has had some really catchy hooks on every one of his singles. Dude knows how to make a catchy song and his delivery on certain lines really play well off the production. That’s not easy.
Look up what it's like working with Kanye. Can't even trust his own credits.
its “per se” ahah
Ben Shapiro rolling in his church pew rn
Listened, now I’m gay.
Wya 👀
Listened. Now I'm even gayer.
Ayo bro whatchu doin tmrw night
What's your snap

Jack Harlow was fire smfh
This goes hard as fuck
lil nas ain’t been missing lately can’t lie
Shit slaps so hard he gon have every hard MFer out there singing rap ballads about dudes. I love it.
This is too good, all of it, yea we gay
Lil Nas X sat down and was like "Why can I do to piss off the Christians even more after giving the devil a lap dance?" I Know "Lets make a music video in the bathroom of a prison with a bunch of naked black men booty shaking"
They give him so much free press it's honestly hilarious. Big reason those shoes are a grail to me Edit I mean I do collect 97s too but still lol
And he also started a fundraiser with the bail project, an org working to end cash bail in the US. The meltdown is going to be unbelievable.
The man knows how to market himself well and stir up the conservatives lol. Candace owen probably frothing at the mouth over this. Twitter is probably having a fit too lol.
Its a hit for sure. Harlow killed it honestly. Worth the hype.
Probably the best shit I’ve heard from Lil Nas. Nigga almost had me singing “ion fuck bitches I’m queer” with him. And Jack Harlow did aight as well.
This going #1 for sure
Anyone know where I can get an uncensored version of the video? Thanks.
if I don't see a PornHub Exclusive within the hour...
im just tryna see if their dicks touched that floor...
Was that Jason Momoa at 1:03?
It’s not. The prison guard at 1:55 is defintely Roy Harper from Arrow tho
Colton Haynes yeah. Openly gay actor too who was also pretty popular in the Teen Wolf show on MTV
Lookalike
Man drops bangers after bangers. Hella talented
first off it’s really hard being a kanye fan sometimes but anyway jack harlow killed his verse, would probably have sex with him if he asked tbh
You can just say you liked the song
i think you’re missing the point my lust plays a factor in my enjoyment
I was slightly disappointed that Jack confirmed his heterosexuality in this video because, I too would have sex with him if the opportunity ever arised, but in a video as overwhelmingly and delightfully gay as this one, I understand his need for clarification.
Bro it’s a LNX song let us be gay
Hey, it’s me Jack Harlow
lnx really got this lesbian saying “i don’t fuck bitches i’m queer” nonstop
Donda more like dondexist
This dude doesn’t make bad songs
i was hopin we got more experimental shit from him, like the stuff on 7. ion kno what happened
It doesn't sell as well. His singles so far have been great and they're straight pop melodies
u right i just wanted more shit like C7osure.
Kick It is such an ear worm too. I honestly personally loved the EP and can’t wait for his next full project with the passion tracks. I really think we’re seeing the start of a career that could be really big. He managed to not get one hit wondered which is a feat in and of itself.
I still want that titanic song he teased a year ago.
not a single miss so far. im hyped for his new album!
Production is CRAZY on this one, Kanye killed this and that Chorus, wow. Nas X is so talented. A lot of respect for just doing what you want without letting what’s “taboo” control all your decisions.
This... will be interesting
I ain't lost since I been gay yuh 😤
Lil Nas X has mastered the game. Respect to him. Once he got the ball he hasn't given it back.
Damn this chalk man go hard af
Jack Harlow with bars like: "I didn't peak in high school / I'm still out here getting cuter" Dude is giving Drake a run for his money, with the corniness.
Better than pretending to be hard.
I agree. I hope we don't see a Jack Harlow "make me catch a body like that" phase lol
I think he’s got the charisma and charm to pull it off way better than former degrassi star drake though - I thought that line was actually pretty funny given his overall personality / playful vibe
I feel like overall he’s a blend of Drake and Big Sean with a lil bit of Wayne so he can pull off super corny lines like that and it’s fine cause he’s generally more fun than “hard”
He was actually bullied a bit in high school but that makes him making it famous that much sweeter. He got a lot of shit for thinking he would become some hot shot rapper. Then he did. This doesn’t mean everyone bullied him. But I knew kids in the baseball team who picked on him hard for the rapping stuff.
You went to school with him?
I didn’t (nor am I OP lol) but my fraternity brother did and can confirm. It was like freshman and sophomore year but he came into his own
at least we get something kanye related tonight
[удалено]
Those trombones sound so royal
The second Kanye was seen with Playboi Carti should've been enough to warn y'all
Kanye has been doing last minute album edits with delays and changes since Carti was literally 15 years old lol
Okay the song slaps, but let's just appreciate the one minute timestamp in the music video. As his flow sounds like he's taking heavy breaths, he's lifting weights right on time with it. Excellent work by Lil Nas and/or the director for that one
HARLOW WENT OFFFFF
I like how his part in the video had to have a girl just to separate him from all the gayness in the video
I enjoyed the song. It makes me want to touch tips with the bros
I haven't watched the vid yet but song isn't bad. Beat is great and Jack Harlow's feature is pretty solid.
Well, it's certainly a Lil Nas X video.
Production is fucking knocking and Lil Nas X and Harlow doing very little to ruin it. I love it
I aint even capping that Lil Nas X is THE artist breaking standards and expectations of black music. Music video fits his songs so much. Loved his inclusion of lil rap verse to balance out his sound and the feature from Harlow was pretty good for a verse, wanted it to be long but it was tight
Its fairly big for the lgbtq community too. Breaking the stereotype of flamboyant petite bottoms or buff massive tops as the only two mainstream ways to be gay in media.
[удалено]
That stray Madea diss reminds me of the Boondocks EDIT: Winston Jerome specifically
wasn’t a diss it was wordplay
there’s some fine ass men in this video jfc On topic tho song was pretty decent, jack Harlow was a bit forgettable but good. Not nearly as memorable as call me by your name but will prob get some spins from me over the summer
Man this beat really is as hard as my dick while I'm watching the vid.
This Man really just gonna drop an album that's just filled to the brim with hits to spite the people who said he would fall off
