"Another one that used Hip-Hop and has commenced his exit strategy"— Fans react as Jack Harlow singing an Elvis classic sparks debate

Jack Harlow teamed up with the Louisville Orchestra to perform at The Kentucky Center’s Whitney Hall on November 28 and 29. Multiple clips of the rapper showing off his vocal ability appeared online, with netizens expressing shock at an Elvis Presley rendition. Many are now debating whether the musician is going to transition into another music genre.

To fans’ surprise, Jack Harlow crooned the late singer’s Can’t Help Falling In Love song. The 26-year-old appeared to maintain the pace and feel of Presley’s original song that was recorded to be the soundtrack for his 1961 movie, Blue Hawaii.

Jack Harlow donned a black suit and tie for the performance as he was surrounded by an orchestra. The show marked his fourth No Place Like Home Tour series.

Netizens have since flooded social media with reactions to the same. Many have opined that the First Class singer seems to be taking a stab at other genres to eventually make a transition from rap. One netizen stated:

Several others expressed similar opinions and commented that Harlow may change genres in the future.

“Countdown to the “I’m not just a rapper I, I’m an artist” interview,” an X user said.

“He was never a rapper anyway so he can leap to another genre where we don’t have to see him np,” another platform user said.

“He seen Drake getting smoked all year and said maybe hip hop ain’t for me lmao,” a netizen commented.

Several netizens brought up Post Malone’s career trajectory and his supposedly leaving the hip-hop community.

“This n***a gonna be another post Malone.. Use rap to get in then transition to sum other s**t,” an X user said.

“Typical white rapper route. That’s why Eminem is the goat of yts,” another X user commented.

Some were however pleased to see Harlow explore a different genre.

"Og fans know he can sing," an X user said.

“Better than I expected," another platform user said.

“This is the type of music I picture him dabbling in. Good job," a netizen commented.

Harlow released Hello Miss Johnson, where the singer speaks to the mother of a love interest, last month. He rapped:

“Hello, Miss Johnson, you know why I’m callin’ / You know I’ve been fallin’, fallin’ for your daughter / I think about her often, correct mе if I’m wrong, but / Was it you that gave the eyеs to her I be lost in? Thought so.”

The music video was presented entirely through the perspective of security footage (CCTV), taking viewers to a suburban neighborhood. It also showed grand romantic gestures as chaos erupts in the background.
