I've noticed that some of you are getting (understandably) frustrated that some of the lower-profile or more underground albums aren't winning in the polls, despite getting a lot of upvotes.

I'm thinking of having one poll a month that just focuses on lyrical/underground projects. This way the likes of SABA, MF Doom, Earl and others have a chance, where they don't have to battle mainstream artists 

Lemme know what you think below!

Yes yes yes

Ollie

Care for me cannot be missed out because young thug stans are desperate to convert everyone 😂

Faceless P

That would be cool - not sure how to introduce more artists for you to listen to though? Like Mick Jenkins, Smino, Action Bronson

Luke

This would be great, there's some really great albums that have come out in the past couple of months that slipped by like Griselda's releases.

Sam Jarman

Monthly underground reactions would be super cool!

Tom Marchant

Still patiently waiting for that Trench reaction, JD 😉 I know you’re busy and there’s no demand really atm so I can wait a little longer 🙌

Henry Leutner

great idea Jon. Can't wait for that saba - care for me reaction. Love the channel mate.

John

Sounds good

Rushik Patel

That's awesome John thanks for always looking out for the people. Saba Care For Me is so special you'll love it

Anthony Reyes

read my mind john imma need saint jhn & saba done plzz

BigScoobJ

Hope you are reacting to pray for paris

Jordan White

It might also be useful to put any indie artist in this category (lyrical or not). For example, Jai Paul has been mentioned a few times, but it’s unlikely that he ever win the mainstream poll

Nathan

That’s a good idea, lots of great stuff being overlooked and this should solve it hopefully.

Moziah Thompson

Love this! The world needs a Control System reaction.

E.J. Rodriguez

I love this JD. Now maybe one day you will finally react to RATKING!!

Pootie Tang

yes! need a freddie gibbs reaction

Anthony Cutillo

Yes please, make sure you remember Flatbush Zombies - BetterOffDead I’m there at some point

JordN

Great idea. Skinnyman - Council Estate of Mind (uk classic album)

Parker Layman

You GOTTA listen to Baby Keem Jon. Im telling you he’ll be gigantic in 6 months

Seth Landis

I think you’re just dealing with slightly different genres, fan bases, and eras of music. To me, someone like OutKast is far above Young Thug but because their music is 20 years old it’s hard to find new fans of them. I think you could split your reviews into categories. Maybe something like: hip hop classics(atliens,blueprint, slim shady lp)/albums from this decade(thug,Saba,etc)/alternative(Joji, frank ocean, Fiona Apple, etc). These categories aren’t perfect but it would be great if you diversified your content to satisfy a few more people. But we do realize you have a life too so do what you can, Jon. We’re here to support you

It seems kinda weird to me to separate the underground albums & hold a poll for them only once a month instead of once a week. I like the idea of a format that guarantees that they’ll get done, but I honestly think if they stayed in the weekly polls more of them would get done (obviously not certain of that though). For the people who ONLY want your underground album reactions they’d have to wait a guaranteed 3/4 weeks at a time instead of knowing they just need to get lucky 1 week. Maybe you could hold simultaneous polls for mainstream & underground to cover 2 weeks worth of content? I really don’t know for this one

Jon Denton

All the other polls will be open to everything- underground or mainstream or whatever. Just once a month, the underdogs get a guaranteed w

Teddy Andrew

Ohhh I misinterpreted that. That’s a great idea then lol I have no critiques. Trial & error

Nate Rohaly

Please do, that’s a great idea Jon

Colton Hart

Yes John it’s the way to go!

Charlie Hill

you’re the best for this bro, Care For Me needs to be heard

Jason Armstrong

That’s a great idea. It wouldn’t be bad like say 3-4 vids a month, you do one for that came in 10s,00s, 90s maybe 80s or just a “underground” one at that point

Jason Armstrong

Some non rap reviews would be awesome. Not trying to put too much on your plate just a little diversity

Chris P

I agree with this, this happens all the time with DEHH classic album review polls. Kanye West will always beat out Del the Funky Homosapien or Souls of Mischief ect.

James Widmer

Great idea as long as you have time for it. I guess these days time may be in abundance for most people though haha

Eric Basta

This is a great Idea!

Anthony

Yes please that would be amazing I’ve been requesting Saba since rock reacts. And his albums are 2 of my favorite albums I’ve heard in the last 6 years

Gavin Danaher

That's a great idea. I was perplexed seeing Drake and Young Thug mediocre albums (they have some good ones but those werent that great) beat out actual classics 😂 . But i get it, its a democracy and they are simply more popular.

Eric Weber

STOP STARING AT THE SHADOWS -$UICIDEBOY$. I know you’ll enjoy it

Steven Lastra

I know I'm kinda late, but this sounds great!! Maybe even possibly broken up into sections? Focusing on new releases, throwbacks and underrated artists? Even if it meant being more patient 🤷‍♂️ the content would be worth it. Keep it up Jon 💪🏽

Kaleb

Slime season 2 pleaseeeee

Matt 04

Yeah man tbh I'm so sick of Drake and Future. We need some diversity.

Clarence Bateman

I know I might be alone but I want to see you react to sada baby. He is blowing up out of Detroit.

Marquis

Yes please
