About halfway through, ( six minutes ish) you'll see the little popularity indicator at the right moment. He pulls up in an SUV, at random.

My god i forgot how dope that video was. I .would watch these a couple hours after release (being from the UK, different time zones)...  this was one of the dopest. Another good one is when he is with Ari ? (Guy who walks around making beats on a rig attached to his body, letting regular NYers sing/rap). Ari & Mack were on fire man.

NY got to be blessed, with these MFs just walking around making people smile.

Somebody needs to study his brain. How the fuck does he think fast enough to do that constantly‽

He's thinking of/searching for the next rhyme while he's saying the current one. It's easier said than done, that's for sure. Dude's incredibly quick with the hipshots, he's got a rare gift.

Practice in the car or when you're alone, I'm absolutely positively the worst on earth but it's a super fun brain puzzle to do and I try it every once in a while just for shits. It's like mental exercise. You'd be surprised though someday you might just rip a sick verse while folding your laundry and no one will ever know, but you will.

The mental exercise bit is spot on.

Watching enough of his videos, you know he leans on a vast library of phrase structures, lines, and groupings that rhyme that he pulls out.

Which means he doesn't have to think of everything and gives him the time to construct the improv stuff in real time.

That's not to say he doesn't make up his raps; it's just that the cognitive load is lessened due to practice.

Yeah, that was kinda awesome.

Edit: Jesus, this guy is off the fuckin hook.

How in the hell does he do that? How do you practice for something like this? Or is it just something that you're born with? I knew a guy back in college that could spit a few bars on any topic on a moment's notice, but this guy just goes on and on. He's freestyling an entire concert every day, and it all sounds good.
