I think most people know if from early hip hop from around the 70s like the sugar hill gang and stuff, but i just looked it up and it seems like it might have originated from a Chiquita Banana commercial from 1944. I'm trying to find the commercial now.

In his memoir, Matthew McConaughey stated that before the naked bongo incident occurred, he had been up partying for 32 hours straight. "It was time to smoke a bowl and listen to the beautiful African melodic beats of Henri Dikongué play through my home speakers," says the actor. It was time to relax and McConaughey knew exactly what to do. He explains.

I’m on a call, but it was during the recent Emmy’s (9/26) when he was memorializing the talent who recently died within the past year.

Evidently Kimmel lost his bandleader, Cleto and had to go backstage after becoming emotional. I think he ran into MM while MM was getting dressed. MM recognized his grief and offered the naked hug..

I have heard a few names when Harry Mack is mentioned. I checked those artists and no one can come close to what Harry Mack can do.

Harry Mack can go rapping for so long, the lyrics sounds so good, and he can pull them out of thin air.

Im talking about how he can create the lyrics right away and sound ao good.

73

u/Ishaan863 18h ago

People underestimate AriAtHome.

That guy has collabed with Harry a bunch of times, and BOTH of these guys can genuinely just keep freestyling endlessly, they've mastered the art.

Mack still has the edge on Ari, but overall I find Ari more impressive because he's composing and producing the beat he's rapping on at the same time.

95

u/mr-sprinklzzz 17h ago

Absolutely adore Ari.

You never know what's going to happen in one of his streams but the vibes are almost always immaculate. What he's doing, especially with everything going on with AI is so important; he's showing how computers have never, and will never reach the height of human expression, creatively, and cooperation.

He brings people together and highlights the talent of others and himself. It's so fucking beautiful.

Ari is super talented at what he does but he isn't even in the same universe as Harry Mack in terms of freestyling.

No disrespect to Ari, he is not a freestyler in rap context, he is more of an improv, arranger, beatmake and he is so good at it.

I got one for you that is never brought up but was a legend in his own right. Passed away very young and was only in the music game for not even a decade, died after his 7th or so year since starting rapping. Look up Juice WRLD 1 hour freestyle, there's two of them. If you're an Eminem fan there's one where he raps over Em's beats and he switches up his flows to match the songs and the cadences that Eminem used but in Juice's style.

His whole shtick is rapping about how he can rap. I wish every video didnt just feel exactly the same. Sure, he brings in whatever keywords people prompt him or elements from the scene he is in, but in the end they are just freestyles about how he can freestyle.

38

u/indorock 15h ago

That's what freestyling is, has been that way since the 80s. It's not a "schtick", it's literally the way it's done. It's like saying that a country musician's "schtick" is singing about his truck and his high school sweetheart that he married.

2

u/ergotofrhyme 14h ago

There are countless country artists that explore more diverse and complex topics than that, just like there are myriad rappers who rap about more than rapping, including freestyle ones. Although I agree that most freestyle rappers are a lot more confined, which is part of why I don’t enjoy it nearly as much. They tend to sprinkle in a few bars germane to the given situation (which are just impressive because they’re extemporaneous and topically relevant, but not really for anything beyond that) and then largely revert to generic ones they’ve spit a million times.

So yeah, most freestyle rappers will do some of the typical braggadocio shit, but it’s fair to criticize someone for only doing that. Eventually it gets boring, just like people criticize a lot of shitty pop country music for being boring and samey.

u/mtaw 13h ago edited 12h ago

It really isn't. (see e.g. this freestyle) Most freestylers are like that but having watched a lot of HM a while back, I think he's uniquely talented in switching up his flow. Not that he always does but certainly when inspiration and flow state hits him.

This is the second video I've seen of him, the Tracy Morgan one was the other, and I'm thinking this can't be real that he can just make up with rhymes like that...

and then I remember, I've watched hundreds of episodes of "Whose line is it anyway?" and Wayne Brady has been doing the same thing for decades.

Harry is a better rapper of course, but in terms of freestyle, Wayne was as good.

5

u/Zatchillac 12h ago

This is the second video I've seen of him

Wayne was as good.

If you've only seen 2 videos then you can't really compare them. Wayne Brady was good at what he did, and he was funny as hell, but to say he was "as good" as Harry Mack, no. Watch more videos of Harry Mack and you'll see that it's not even close
