A clip of the streamer reviewing the Atlanta rapper&#8217;s latest release on Kick circulated social media, showing him quickly skimming through the tracklist with displeasing remarks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">In the 29-second clip, xQc could be seen laughing at JID while comparing him to a video game character,  briefly listening to tracks and commenting &#8220;Not a fan of that,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m good on that,&#8221; and &#8220;I&#8217;m good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Although he didn&#8217;t enjoy the album, xQc did not deter others from enjoying the music as he wished them well with the experience. &#8220;I really hope you enjoy it I&#8217;m gonna say it,&#8221; he said to his viewers. &#8220;I hope it goes very hard for you, and you have that on your iPod then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">God Does Like Ugly is JID&#8217;s fourth album.

Reviewers highlighted its dynamic mix of gospel flourishes, soul influences, and razor-sharp lyricism, cementing JID\u2019s reputation as one of hip-hop\u2019s most technically gifted voices. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Media publications would share mixed reviews. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slantmagazine.com\/music\/jid-god-does-like-ugly-album-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Slant Magazine<\/a> criticized the record as an \u201costentatious audition reel.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pastemagazine.com\/music\/jid\/jids-moments-of-brilliance-fail-to-gel-on-god-does-like-ugly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Paste<\/a> deemed it brilliant yet fragmented compared to earlier work. <\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2025\/08\/jid-god-does-like-ugly-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Consequence<\/a> praised its scope and emotional weight, hailing JID as an artist bridging Atlanta\u2019s past, present, and future in a project both ambitious and deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>xQc On JID\u2019s God Does Like Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">The streamer\u2019s take on JID\u2019s new album sparked a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/fantanoforever\/comments\/1mm30xm\/how_do_we_feel_about_xqcs_take_on_jids_god_does\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Reddit discussion<\/a> about the review.
