In this episode of Pitchfork’s Overrated/Underrated, Jack Harlow rates TikTok dances, John Calipari, Nirvana, Eminem, The Irishman, Los Angeles and much more. At one point, when the Eminem question came, here is what he replied:
“These days, Eminem is underrated. He catches lots of slander from the new generation. I think they do not have the context of what it was. He is truly an icon.”
“When I was 9 to 13 years old, that’s really who I wanted to be. I used to watch 8 Mile and I watched the scene of him in the warehouse, those freestyles and lyrics… I love Eminem and I do not like the new slander. I do not like this new wave that slanders him.” said the Shelbyville, Kentucky-born rapper.

On the latest episode of GQ Magazine’s “Actually Me,” Harlow goes undercover on the Internet and responds to real comments from Twitter, Instagram, Quora and Wikipedia. One of the questions was about Eminem.
Question: What’s the story behind Jack Harlow? He Eminem-true to the culture or is he a vulture?
Jack Harlow: Hell of the question. True to the culture. I grew up listening to Eminem. I idolized Eminem, big influence of mine while growing up. I mean he’s so dope. But also obviously… I remember when I was ten or eleven, I would wear like a toboggan, and hoodie and headphones around my neck. Cause I wanted to feel like him.
Jack Harlow: I definitely had an Eminem phase feeling like wow, just that Caucasian connection, you know. It’s strong.
