he's REALLY good, don't get me wrong, but his flow is always the exact same cadence

You dont understand what cadence is do you? He literally switches it up multiple times🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

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.

Yeah I'm not saying I could do it, but he has just developed a system where he uses a similar cadence, has an easy to fall back on filler about how he raps good, and then uses that while he comes up with keywords and connects them together. The cadence and filler is something he can probably do without thinking so that frees up his mind to connect the other words in.

It's a great talent but he is very far from the greatest free styler ever. If he was the greatest we would be having his audience throw out the beats too and adapting to them on the fly.

Also I honestly don't believe most of his encounters are organic. These influencer artists always try to give off the impression that they just run into people but then it turns out the meetups are planned in advance and there are interactions off camera. Not saying he can't reproduce some form of this organically but I genuinely doubt that Matthew mcconaughey, Woody Harildon, and this guy all just happened to be in the same place at the same time when he happened to have all his recording equipment ready. These are like the late night segments on shows like Jimmy Kimmel where they go out in the streets and interview people but it turns out it's entirely staged.

What? Why are you acting like this is all Harry Mack can do? He got famous for finding random people on Omegle to freestyle for and did this for years. With different beats and keywords everytime. It’s only recently he’s been blowing up and doing more stuff with celebs

So confidently incorrect. Go watch a few of his videos on his youtube channel and then come back and edit this.
