Mac Miller Trends On Twitter After Jack Harlow Makes Eminem Comparison On "Jackman"

"Ya boy’s strivin’ to be the most dominant ever / The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters," the Kentucky native rhymes on his new release's second track.

Of the new albums that have arrived so far this weekend, arguably one of the most talked about so far is Jack Harlow's Jackman. The 10-track, featureless effort chiefly shows off the Kentucky native's pen game after a lukewarm reaction to his sophomore LP, Come Home The Kids Miss You. Of the titles on the tracklist, one that's earned a significant amount of attention so far is the second, "They Don't Love It," on which he cleverly compares himself to Eminem – an artist he's looked up to for most of his life.

"Ya boy’s strivin’ to be the most dominant ever / The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters," Harlow rhymes on his latest release. While his biggest fans would obviously agree with that statement, so many were ready to argue with the "WHAT'S POPPIN" hitmaker that one of his contemporaries' names began trending on Twitter today (April 29). According to many, the late Mac Miller is undeniably the one who deserves that moniker, not him.

Jack Harlow Calls Himself "The Hardest White Boy" Since Eminem

"Until Jack Harlow drop a verse like Paul Wall on 'Sitting Sideways,' or give us albums like Mac Miller he can respectfully shut the f*ck up," one certainly upset user wrote. Another chimed in with, "Mac Miller was better than both of y’all if we being honest," not-so-subtly dissing both Harleezy and Slim Shady. Elsewhere, others markedly begged fans to leave the fallen Circles artist's name out of the conversation. They've previously done this during other online discourse, involving names like Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West.

Thus far, other fan favourites from Jackman appear to be "Gang Gang Gang" and the project's longest effort, "Blame On Me." This is the first full-length work we've heard from the 25-year-old since last year's album. Of course, he did come together with DJ Drama on "Mockingbird Valley" at the very end of March.
