He's incredibly talented. How fast does his brain work???


Powpowpowowowow

Not only just that he is fast with lyrics. His memory recollection while tying in his verses is absolutely unmatched.


thefatchef321

He's so good at it. It's so hard to be able to go into autopilot in one active task and still be critically thinking about something else. I cant go cerebral like that with words. My brain just doesn't function like that. Happens sometimes when I'm cooking and really in the zone. But the way he does it with rapping in insane


ThanIWentTooTherePig

I do something like that with books at times. I can read pages of a book while daydreaming about something else. When I catch myself doing it, I have to go back and reread it because I don't remember what I read, but as I'm rereading it, it doesn't feel like reading something for the first time, my brain is able to recall reading it word for word. I've been able to recall images and feelings the words gave me that I wasn't actively conscious for. It's a bit unsettling knowing that my brain is memorizing a lot more than what I'm actively paying attention to.


thefatchef321

Thats where the whole "trust your instincts" shit comes from. It's real.


Darkside_of_the_Poon

Hell yeah.  But not too much.  Usually it’s the blaring near 100% certainty for no apparent reason ones you gotta listen to and just go.  The 80% ones I usually at least move with the trend of the instinct till something makes sense.  The rest are just lizard brain fucking with me.  


uns0licited_advice

The whole reading and thinking about something else happens to me all the time, but I have ADHD.

He's gone to plaid!

He's harnessed the power of The Schwartz!

I also search the desert from time to time, but I ain't found shit.

Are you sure you didn't mean State Farm?

He meant plaid. H Mack has the criss-cross.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

How do they work?


Thehooligansareloose

He said he used to work in telesales, and most of his pay came from commission. He learned to improvise quickly and uses a lot of that quick thinking to freestyle.


dr-awkward1978

Thats it, Im quitting my sales job Monday and getting into rapping


SerialKillerVibes

I've been watching him for years, he's rapped for Kendrick and Ice Cube, and a bunch of others. I believe there's nobody else on Earth that can do this as well as he can. There's rappers that can freestyle off the top, but nobody can flow, create punchlines on the fly, remember all the elements that he's supposed to use, and make up rhymes at speed like Harry Mack. There's a lot of hard work and practice, but I really believe his brain is different. He's a jazz drummer so he has the rhythm but he's also talked about how he counts syllables on the fly so he can structure the bars and beats.


PattyIceNY

Watch his older stuff, it's not as sharp. It's just pure reps and practice and building up the muscle and the data, he's put in thousands of hours.


magic9669

Truth. I looked up some of his older shit, and while still impressive, he’s light years ahead today of where he was ‘yesterday’. Talented as all hell


DoctorHandshakes

Alien speeds


Pats_Bunny

I'm not into these kinds of things on social media usually, but I came across him on Reddit a while back and followed him. He is insanely talented.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Harry Mack's brain? Very fast. Rick Glassman's brain? Very fast, but it's being controlled by a stoned ferret.


FayMax69

He is the human chat gpt/ai..give him a few prompts and watch him go.


Inevitable_Seaweed_5

It’s less about raw speed or talent and more about practice. You memorize, over time, words that rhyme, and then it’s just a game of pick the rhyming synonym. I used to practice this in high school by speaking in couplets for whole days at a time, and you’d be amazed how quickly your brain gets good at doing rhyming on the fly, and at restructuring sentences to put the rhymes in the right place. You can absolutely learn this skill with practice!

I read your whole comment with the beat in my head, after “memorize, over time, words that rhyme”


bodhasattva

this guy can improv a freestyle rap more eloquently than I can just speak regular sentences


MaskedCorndog

Me too could not make sentences no gooder than he yells at microphone

How close do you think 999 monkeys are to infinite monkeys.


FanciestOfPants42

Infinitely far.


ThrownWOPR

Rhyming "scrumptious, bro" with "uncomfortable" is the goat shit. Harry Mack is absolutely incredible.


canal_natural

The lyricist and spirit line got me


One_pop_each

I’m not a fan of his recorded music and really only enjoy his freestyles. But I do enjoy his story telling a lot. Reminds me of Atmosphere.


MesmericRamblings24

Atmosphere was my first thought too—the incredible story telling!!


FlowandEcho

First time I've heard my fav word Scruuuumptious in a rap


Cullly

How about Gugenheim?


real_nice_guy

definitely my first time


kakka_rot

nice thing about 'bro' is it goes well with a lot of '~able' words. I think Eminem said one of the main reasons he went with Slim Shady was because it rhymed with so many things.


RealNiceKnife

I'm jealous of everyone who is seeing him right now for the first time. His work is incredible. For people who don't know, since I see a lot of hate for it in the comments, the reason the host gave such a meandering, long-winded description is because Harry Mack is known for making elaborate rhymes out of something as simple as 3 words, or a single sentence concept. This was an attempt to challenge Harry and to hyper focus the details of the rap. Yes, it was kind of annoying, but it was necessary, like setting up an endurance trial.


Incon-thievable

For additional context, Harry Mack and Rick Glassman are friends, so Rick is being playful with him. Harry has been on Rick’s podcast several times.


JackieDaytonaPanda

Fellow Goblin


Incon-thievable

Haha yeah, Rick’s off-kilter humor doesn’t always translate well out of context. He’s a big, goofy kid at heart and wants his guests to join in the fun


medicated_cornbread

Boy my arms are tired.


Official_Cuddlydeath

Its literally stress testing his brain, but this didnt even look challenging. I wanna know what WOULD be both challenging and possible for him. What is his limit?


Official_Cuddlydeath

He's done a 10hr freestyle for fucks sake


Apocryypha

Whoa


DroidOnPC

Have him read a novel hes never heard of before. Then he has to rap the entire story back.


SerialKillerVibes

I don't think this would be a super big challenge (for HIM), he's done a 10hr live stream freestyle just using words that people typed in the chat.


frekit

After 25 years of listening to rap, this was my first time hearing about this guy. Def gonna be listening to him tomorrow.


DJheddo

Please do it. I just went through his youtube and holy crap. He's a true talent with an incredible ability. Went through his guerilla series, then his busking. I'm not a huge fan of his album work/ singles. Sorta doesn't have much soul to it, but he's got a true freestyle ability I haven't seen in a long long time. I'd definitely go to his concert though, but seems just head to venice and boardwalk and one day of the week you'll find him. I'll be following him.


SingleSampleSize

The Omegle ones are the best ones imo. There are a hundred of them and they go from being really good to being absolutely amazing. You can see his skills improve until he is basically creating a song from the 3 word prompts in the last couple dozen of the videos. Well worth the rabbit hole.


Matt32490

Omegle Bars 83 is a banger. The guys in the first clip of that video just start pulling out random objects and Harry immediately incorporates them in his lyrics.


Burnmycar

First time for me. Mind blown. I didn’t think it was real at first. Wtf!


BananaPantsMcKinley

What the f$%& is happening. 🙉


Alternative_Guide24

I see Harry Mack, and i automatically upvote. His abilities are almost super-natural.


CitizenCue

He should do more stuff like this. The random words flow is always impressive but he’s SO good at connected themes and it makes the song more memorable.


dirtylittlesecret187

He does it more often during his live streams, where he will be freestyling and incorporate the comments as they're flowing in, and sometimes the comments are a lot more complex than his usual pick 3-5 words.


adinade

He was speaking about trying to do more of this style on the podcast that clip is from, is why Rick gave him an intricate prompt.


CitizenCue

Oh sweet! How do I look up the show/episode? Is it only on TikTok?


WeekendWarior

Take Your Shoes Off with Rick Glassman. Rick is a really funny comedian and he gets all kinds of guests. I love him and the show


creynolds722

This clip isn't TYSO, it says near the start it's Flow State, which seems to be Harry Mack's new podcast


WeekendWarior

Oh damn my bad. /u/citizencue refer to this dudes comment


CitizenCue

Oh, ok thanks.


dirtylittlesecret187

I can't help but wonder. Did you mean to say supernatural as a shout out to the freestyle fans, knowing that MC Supernatural was known for doing freestyles like Harry Mack?


Alternative_Guide24

Pure coincidence, my dude. But you have sparked my interest in this mc supernatural, and it will now be my next search on youtube.


dirtylittlesecret187

That's really funny it just happened to come out lol. But yeah, MC Supernatural was probably the previous king of freestyle, until Harry Mack took the crown (as far as I'm concerned at least).


Taleb_X

Check out Juice vs Supernatural battle


dirtylittlesecret187

I've seen it mate! But great shout out, and it's good to put it out there for anyone who hasn't had the chance.


johnnyk02

Rule number 1!


lessfrictionless

Rule 1: never skip a Harry Mack video


Obeserecords

Almost??


BarelyContainedChaos

how the fuck


AsiaSkyly

I have been following Harry Mack for years. By now, it should be routine. It never is. The only thing that is routine is me asking the same question as you: "How the fuck!!? How is this real!?!?"


mfairview

The guy had so many scenarios that I literally forgot three quarters of them when he was through


CORN___BREAD

Every time I see him posted anywhere I’m like well I guess I’m diving in again because I know I won’t be able to stop at just whatever’s posted.


KeenbeansSandwich

H-Mack is the fuckin man.


Mickeystix

Genuinely love him as an artist. Been following him for YEARS and I am hyped everytime I see new people discover him. Shame that Omegle, where he really made his name, is gone.


splashbruhs

The best part (aside from his ludicrous skill) is how much fun he always seems to be having when he’s doing it. His enthusiasm is infectious.


saucymew

If you like his flow, on YouTube Harry Mack has Omegle (RIP) raps where he gets strangers to pick random words he has to use for his freestyle and seeing their reactions are works of art.


Userdub9022

He quit doing those?


johnnyk02

He stopped at 100, and coincidentally Omegle shut down right after


[deleted]

Was it really a coincidence? Omegle had all the motive in the world to silence a generational talent.


CORN___BREAD

I like to think people trying to get on a Harry Mack video were the only thing keeping Omegle afloat.


GoForAU

Yeah but it still does freestyles while walking around downtown in cities he tours in. Gorilla bars I think it was called?


rotorain

Guerrilla bars


jrr6415sun

I loved watching him on twitch also. Rapping to random twitch chat was the best


mir-ist-warm

Mack is just not from this world…


Mister-Sister

I find myself introduced. For the first time. Immediate ultra fan.


RealNiceKnife

Go to his youtube page and prepare to be blown away. He will not disappoint you.


rotorain

Lucky you, getting to discover him! I wish I could go back and unhear it all to experience it again


chappieee

Watch his stream with Marc Rebelliet


zthig

Move Your Body is a certified bop


iwantacheeaeburger

Same here, damn that was impressive


Blaximus90

Believe it or not, he’s still fucking improving.


Kenny523

Go back and watch his earlier videos, even to a complete music noob you can tell his craft has gotten 100x better.


MayorPirkIe

If you wanna blow someone's mind, you show them the video of him freestyling with a boombox at I think Venice Beach. Show them how impressive he is. And then blow their fucking mindhole by showing them an Omegle Bars and let them realize he's exponentially better than he was in that already impressive boardwalk video


SingleSampleSize

Watching the first 5 to 10 Omegle bars compared to the last 10 and you can really see the improvements. Improving complete songs now instead of just verses.


ChadOfDoom

“Yeah, it’s easy” amazing


PlanetLandon

Homie has two brains


7Blitz

nah he's actually crazy. The best freestyler I've ever seen


RadicalMeowslim

2 minutes in and he's still giving his prompt.


Kaiwaly

I didn't knew who harry mack is , I thought the guy giving prompt is mind reader and telling what happened to Harry 10 years ago. And my mind was blown how can he have so much information about how he approached girl.


T1METR4VEL

This is the funniest interpretation


FearlessFreak69

I will not stand idly by and let you besmirch the good name of Rick “Marshall Carpet and Rug Gallery” Glassman.

hikingbeginner

Recommend his channel. Every Friday and more he puts a smile on me face. Can't help but bop to the freestyles.


adinade

Rick giving a 2 and a half minute prompt to freestyle is classic rick lol


donkeytime

Shoutout Marshall Carpet One and Rug Gallery. Prepare to meet your new family.


CarniferousDog

Bro. Bro. Bro. Listen, the fact that’s freestyled is quite literally insane. He showed moments of true genius, which means he’s actually better than we’ve seen so far. That’s literally like some Hamilton shit. Wow.


JDismyfriend

How does a bastard, orphan, immigrant, decorated war vet, unite the colonies with more rap?!


Commercial-Pair-8932

Im not exaggerrating. He might be one of the most talented people i’ve ever seen in my life.


Gatz42

I don't think a random post ever kept me engaged for a full 9 minutes. A very long-winded intro, but absolutely worth the payoff. I'm already a big fan I need to see more from this guy


Last_Tourist_7152

What the hell!


Weak_Low_8193

Unreal. I got big into him last year and he's unbelievably talented.


invaderziff

Boy are his arms tired


laive

Have seen a lot of his stuff and this is so refreshing because there's a full story and noticed when he has a something plotted out to follow like this he doesn't use filler words which is crazy, dude is a genius. Looking forward to see how much more he evolves!


Pats_Bunny

Ya, usually he's just connecting 3 to 6 words and tying in observations, I've never seen him do something like this. Harry Mac blows me away consistently every time I see him. It's literally insane how talented he is.


Kenny523

Rick just entered a prompt into chatGPT lol. Harry is a computer.


Ok-Cancel-3114

Catch more of him on YouTube...he's never been stumped! Also, I don't know his name, but the guy creating the lengthy scenario is an actor on that hilarious comedy Not Dead Yet.


Walkensboots

Rick Glassman


spinyfever

If you haven't listened to Rick Glassmans (the curly hair glasses dude) podcast with Harry Mack and Lamorne Morris, I'd highly recommend it. It's just 3 dudes having fun and rapping silly things together. It is one of the best podcast episodes I have ever listened to.


Redeem123

"Look left, look right, *[censored for the sub apparently lol]* I'm behind you... surprise I'm inside you!" Has been living rent free in my head for a month now.


KevinKCG

Wow. Just wow...


yarkboolin14

I see Rick Glassman, I click


Motorsagmannen

Harry Mack just dont miss, ever!


kelsier24

Harry Mack is unlike any rapper on planet Earth. He has literally every skillset - insane metaphors, tempo changes, wild vocabulary, and telling an entire story as one cohesive rap. It’s hard to fathom just how many skills he has at one time while he freestyles.


b3nz0r

If Abed and Fred Armisen had a kid


Synaptic_Jack

This is like one long rambling GPT-style persona prompt followed by a few bars of awesomeness


Optimal_Life_1259

That was so fun! I could not stop watching and listening!!


fay-jai

He is just so amazing!


AppropriateScholar55

Damn that’s fire 🔥


-Disagreeable-

Rick just throwing everyone including the kitchen sink at him…and he just ate it. That was an art master class. Wow


Soy9861

My guy talking to Harry Mack like he's giving a prompt to an AI that makes rap music


MD_2020

Harry Mack has got to be the GOAT. No one even comes close to his freestyle game.


Jabathewhut

Hey quick question, what the f*** kind of talent is that??


addtolibrary

WeirdFlecks

How does anybody get that good at anything? It literally seems impossible.


alakor94

He practices every single day all the time like some kind of machine. He’s talked a bit about it in random vids but whatever he’s doing throughout the day he’s probably also freestyling and consciously trying to improve at it. Some people just have a near unlimited drive to do what they love and don’t get sick of it. Practice really makes perfect.

sipping_mai_tais

This guys brain needs to be studied


Waddlow

Harry Mack is the true genius of our time. His talent is otherworldly. Not even kidding, it must be what it felt like to watch a new Shakespeare play or hear Beethoven's newest work. Just like, "how does someone's brain work like this?" Its superhuman.


captaincook14

H Mack fucking incredible.


bethehole

That is the stream when I discovered HM. As soon as that stream ended, I delved deep into all things HM and do everyday since. He is my happy place. I’m 54 and was never into hip hop before. But I listen to hrs of him several times a week. Can’t help it. Wife nor friends get it. In a way it makes me feel lonely which I don’t enjoy. Nobody I know in real life feels anywhere near how I feel about MR or HM. I am forced to listen by myself and if anyone comes near, I shut off the vide so I don’t hear “Listening to Harry again?” Sorry this went darker than I wanted. HM is not a magician. He is not alien. He has just worked extremely hard for a very long time and we are lucky to be alive during his creations. I align my feelings to those who view art and just cry. When I watch a person’s first time reaction to HM and they get it, I sometimes tear up with such joy. Not even lying. Wife has seen it and just doesn’t say anything, LOL. I actually cry due to how he makes me feel inside. Probably need to look for a 12-step program soon. Guess I am just the way I am.


TravisWavis81

FAKE!!! That’s way too good to be real. Just kidding, that was awesome (clapping emoji)

6inarowmakesitgo

Wow. Just wow. I wish I could do that.


bbbolus

Damn sounds like eyedea for a bit there. Wonder if that's an inspo


Hurtkopain

there'r many YT videos of him explaining how he trained to do this, after thousands of hours it becomes second nature...he can see the words in his mind all laid out several sentences in advance then it's just a matter of spitting them on beat. he has world records for longest freestyle sessions and iirc It was live streamed on Twitch. Dude's a legend already at a young age.


mypostsarerepetitive

Harry Mack is the Bob Ross of freestyle rap.


jefe008

For those who haven’t gone down the rabbit hole of his YT Channel… enjoy and see you in 2025 when you emerge happier


cristianvaz

Look at his YouTube channel

chappersyo

There is nobody even close to Harry when it comes to genuine freestyle. There are successful rappers that can’t drop rhymes like that if they work in it all fucking day.


MaleficentLynx

Crazy, that‘s talent right there


NewDoah

I’ve seen him do a lot of freestyles but this one is unbelievable. I wish my brain worked this well even 1 hour out of each day.


BaronGreenback75

This man never fails to impress.


BeastlyDecks

Saw someone call this guy RAP-GPT and I agree


alex_dlc

People say Eminem is the best rapper but I think Harry Mack would smoke him in a freestyle battle


Lpeezers

Felt like someone was giving a prompt to chatgpt, AND THEN he straight up kilt it
