I don't agree but that's ok. I didn't like the music, it really didn't work for me, that's it. This isn't even about hip hop as I like hip hop. Admittedly not much these days i was more into Jurassic 5 style stuff but still. Anyway I apologise.

"Heh, I bet this thread is gonna get a bunch of 'Who?' posts as a 'subtle' way for people to address that they don't like black music."
*clicks thread*
"...Oh, this is worse."

Wh
GTFOH with that nonse.
Why? Cus he's the only black person you know that's the appropriate age/is famous?

If I say I think the song sucks, but to each their own tastes, will that really bother you?
What's the point of a thread with a music video as the topic?
Yeah, I have instantly thought of him after having seen the PS5 game annoucement trailer, he really look the part.
Kind of. With MK you always get the "Rap doesn't fit with MK" people coming in droves all unable to let go of the movie theme and always try to make some remake of the trailer by slapping the movie theme over the trailer and going "see! this is so much better" ignoring the fact those trailers were literally made to accompany the track by matching the hits in the trailer with the beat of the song. (This happened on Neogaf too when MKX got announced) and also ignoring the fact there is a huge amount of black people who love Mortal Kombat and are part of the dedicated fighting game community (most of the pro players are black)
Here you got the people who just hate rap music, but there is also the subsect of people (like me) who just don't think the song is good. Most of the Jaden songs I've listened to lack energy and I think "on my own" is mostly saved by Kid Cudi in the hook of the song.
This makes me think about how Said n Done from Savage Mode 2 would have been great for this soundtrack.
He's already been cast as Aaron Davis (Miles' uncle AKA The Prowler) in the MCU.No Donald has dibs. (he is getting a bit old for the role).

If anything, they just need to bring back Neo Yokio. I loved that shit.
Neither could Will when he first started The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He learned how to act after the first season finished.
The kid from Stranger T hings
He is 19 now, and would fit the role.

Not a fan of the song. It sounds like something from a generic soundtrack I'd hear in a Victoria's Secret from 2004 while shopping with my girlfriend. Just super average, over a decade old, whatever pop music for mall shoppers to tune out to.
And no he shouldn't play Miles. Did you guys see After Earth? His father might be one of the greatest actors in history but this young man cannot act.

Fact: Jaden wouldn't even be able to play Miles in a school play if it weren't for his dad.
Dude is the poster boy for nepotism lol.
People who drop into threads about creative works and drop snappy takes about how bad the music is, like "never gonna win awards" or "terrible genres dialled up to 11" etc... are just shitting the place up. Coming in and saying something like "I don't like it much Jaden's performance feels a bit lifeless and the production is overdone" is completely different.
Of course the former is going to get responses like the one you quoted, that's by design.
Chill.
He should be nowhere near playing Miles in live action, i'm sure we have far talented younger actors who can play him.
No. Why would it? That's not an application of an opinion as a universal standard.
This should be Miles theme across everything Miles related, forever.
Eh. It sounds like they approached him and said "We can't use 'Way Up' because that was attached to Spider-Verse, but can you throw something together that sounds exactly like that but also not as good?"
Yup, heard this in the reveal trailer and I probably listened to it at least once everyday.
Isn't the (IMO) implied though, in a post where a person doesn't explicitly claim that it's a universally held opinion?
I asking this for my own understanding.
Good point! Acting is a learnable skill, but in general, the more privilege a person has the more emotional barriers they have to overcome to be a good actor, let alone a great one.
