Jack and Jack Embrace The Wildlife With Speed Crazy Hip Hop

Add this to the category of things that I never thought I'd hear in my lifetime. Goes to show you that right when life apparently stops being any of that or so much as one Dorito in the bag of chips someone emerges to deliver a pleasant surprise. Rappers Jack & Jack, even if their careers crashed and burned next week, could exit the music industry happy they could be forever connected with a hip hop snack that somehow, thanks to their sure to be oversaturated in the space it takes to go through the drive through at Taco Bell single "Wild Life", with the help of technical wizardry I'm willing to bet, manages to capture the trumpet sound of an elephant. Please tell me that sort of thing doesn't happen every day for you guys. Took me a few seconds to drink in what I was hearing but yes, that's Dumbo's long lost brother captured in hip hop form. On to the rappers themselves. Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky both fall into the instant social media sensation category. Jack raps as if he's running away from the bank robbery he himself initiated, that is to say lightning fast. About what you ask? That's why I'm here...clarity. As has been historically proven with a number of rap acts past partying until you're docked at Inebriation Station plays a key role. To hear the delivery Jack and Jack need downer pills...stat!! We'll soon see if Cee-Lo Green appreciates his name being inserted into this back to the primeval broth. It's up to you to decide whether "I'm sweating like the Amazon" is TMI or not. The gentlemen would probably benefit from treatment for that or possibly a bit more effective deodorant. Parents across the continent have a chance to smile knowingly at "We got lions, tigers, bears, oh my." The percussion beat threatens to rip itself straight out of the floor. It's making a valiant attempt to keep up with the partners in Jackness. The programmed animal noises actually give us a welcome chance to exhale. It's Jack's party so why do we feel like it's our gland system that's been pushed to its limits? As has been consistent lately, you get that deep toned voice modulation special effect. In my humble opinion many times it's a bit moronic but for "Wild Life" there's it's fun in a campy way. In truth I'd prefer to zoom straight to the elephant and forget about the 2 AM hanky panky. Instance number two of a concept I never figured I'd be around long enough to be present for...the line "Everywhere I turn seeing iced out wrists. She might be German, she might be Swiss, damn and I'm feeling pretty hectic. It's true that Germans and Swiss folk do have pretty paltry amounts of pigment in their skin thus, it comes out looking icy white. I've heard of lyrical science but here we get a full on biology lesson. Not that that's too surprising in this alternate dimension of lions, tigers, bears, and elephants. Do you like a classy novelty song? "Wild Life" has that end of the market dead to rights. Such a lush jungle populated with beat the clock virtuosity. Please don't be distracted by the idea that nothing revolutionary dropped. Going on a jungle safari is about the thrills in this pimped out ride. I do have to take exception to one lyrical strand of seaweed, namely "Lights all around, good thing I'm not epileptic." He's speed rapping. We're past the point of light induced sensory overload. I would not be surprised if his head exploded. Of course that would put a big damper on Jack and Jack future recording prospects. Luckily all the moving parts remain intact. "Wildlife" escorts you into a hip hop jungle that's one captivating zoo to visit. Mild wordplay but wild use of adrenaline and nicely placed snippets from the reigning kings of the animal kingdom. Whether you listen as a distracting side trip or want to take this safari as far as it can go, you'll have enchanting memories as your reward.
