12:00

I treat freestyling like an

12:02

instrument. So even on my worst day,

12:04

hopefully it drops to a

12:06

level that is still solid. What

12:08

is training involved? So

12:11

there's a lot of different

12:13

techniques involved in what I do.

12:15

So I'll explain one of the foundational ones.

12:18

And if you say this, will the listener

12:20

and the viewer and me, once I hear

12:22

this, will I be able to do it?

12:25

You might not be able to do it right

12:27

away. I think, but eventually within like eventually 15

12:29

minutes. Within 15 minutes, you'll master

12:31

it. And suddenly my videos will be completely un-entertaining or

12:33

impressive to you. But I will give you credit for

12:36

having taught me how to do it and giving away

12:38

the secret. So the

12:40

secret to the flow. Yes. You're

12:43

gonna put us in the know. Go.

12:48

You already got it, but yeah. It's easy. You

12:51

know what you have is. It's easy. So

12:54

give me a random word. Nothing.

12:59

So back in the day when I was first learning

13:01

how to freestyle, I didn't have any technique. So if

13:03

somebody threw the word nothing, you just

13:05

reactively say it and then you scramble to try

13:07

to find hopefully something that rhymes with it in

13:09

the moment. So that would sound like this. You

13:11

say nothing. And then I say, nothing.

13:16

I'm not bluffing. I'm, right? So it

13:18

sounds like that. That's a beginner freestyle.

13:20

Right. I like stuffing. Oh

13:24

my God. Yeah, perfect. Perfect. This

13:26

is gonna go viral. Take that clip. Harry

13:29

and Howie. Yeah. And people

13:31

are not gonna, cause we didn't plan that.

13:33

We did not plan that. We did not.

13:36

Oh, unbelievably. We didn't plan that at all.

13:38

That's amazing. I said nothing. You

13:41

said bluffing and then I said stuffing. You said,

13:43

I love stuffing. Is that true? Do

13:45

you love stuffing? No, but I did it for the art. Yeah.

13:48

And that's the thing. You have to be willing to go there.

13:50

So good. Setup punchline

13:52

is the technique that I use, which is

13:54

the inverse of what I just did. You

13:56

know, that's like comedy. Exactly. There

13:59

are a lot of parallels between. Right,

20:00

right. Yeah. I'm freestyling. I

20:03

love it, man. Bars. I'm

20:05

feeling what you're putting down. Wow. Yeah.

20:08

Well, don't touch it. I

20:10

won't. I'll let it be.

20:17

You look pretty healthy. Do you eat healthy?

20:19

I try to. I try to. Are

20:22

you on a special diet? Are you keto? No,

20:24

not really. I just try to eat

20:26

lots of vegetables. I'm

20:28

not vegan or anything. I eat meat.

20:32

I shouldn't eat dairy, but it's problematic

20:34

because I love pizza and

20:36

cheese in general. Are you lactose intolerant? I'm

20:38

lactose intolerant, yeah. But you're not, though. You're

20:41

not. I mean, I tolerate it. Then I find

20:43

a way. So that's what I'm saying. If

20:46

you're totally intolerant, that's like, it

20:48

doesn't, I'm lactose annoyed.

20:50

Yeah, yes. Lactose is uncomfortable.

20:52

And then you're ass freestyles.

20:55

Yeah, exactly. In a way, it's reminiscent of

20:57

how it used to Do

21:00

you ever eaten rocks? I've never eaten rocks,

21:02

no. No, we had a listener, Carl,

21:05

his mom eats rocks. It's not so much that

21:07

she eats the rocks, but when she eats the

21:09

rocks, first of all, she's not in great shape.

21:12

Yeah. But I would imagine. I

21:14

would imagine rocks aren't great for you. I

21:16

mean, that's why you would imagine it's filled

21:18

with minerals and. Well, yeah,

21:20

but I mean, how do you digest the stone? I

21:26

don't know. That's a good question. That

21:29

is a good question. Yeah. Well, we're

21:31

not really talking about what

21:34

it does to our system as much as when

21:36

somebody is eating like that. Like, do you

21:38

eat? And do you

21:40

like eating alone? Or do you like conversing and

21:42

talking with other people when you're eating? So

21:45

me and my fiance, we often

21:48

are eating in front of the

21:50

television. That's French for what? Fiance,

21:52

future wife. Is it really? Like,

21:54

I know that's what it means, but does fiance

21:56

mean that in French? I'm actually not sure. Could

21:58

you look up the word? vessel.

28:00

Yeah that's beautiful I mean well yeah once you

28:02

start practicing free association it's hard to turn it

28:04

off. So

28:09

can I see the lady eating the rocks one more time? I

28:12

just I'm fascinated by how he's reacting.

28:16

The truth of the matter if I want to get serious for a

28:18

minute. The

28:20

son's issue is

28:22

that once she starts eating the rocks she's

28:24

in la-la-la and it's like she doesn't pay

28:26

any attention to him. Right. Don't

28:29

you think don't you think my

28:32

mom's eating fucking rocks what's

28:34

wrong with my mom? Yeah my mom shouldn't

28:36

be eating fucking rocks right not how she's reacting

28:38

to you. Well that was my point I

28:40

would object you know I would hurry to the

28:43

rock eating yeah flat out like regardless of

28:45

the fact that it's distracting her from being my

28:47

loving parent it's more so just the you

28:49

know the rock eating itself. I agree with you

28:51

yeah and it's not like it's a surprise

28:53

you could see that she has a hammer at

28:55

the beginning of the tape she breaks the rocks.

28:58

Yeah it's almost I almost can't watch the

29:00

teeth actually connecting with and biting off a piece

29:02

of rock that's disturbing to me you know

29:04

that's the part that bothers you. Yeah because it's

29:06

like you know biting the fork it's just

29:08

like you know how does that make you feel

29:10

the idea of biting a metal fork does

29:12

it. I haven't really

29:15

thought about it. Does it give you a

29:17

physical sensation? Can you imagine her in a

29:19

public restroom like next to you just

29:21

hearing the drops of shevels.

29:24

Yeah just chipping the porcelain. Can

29:26

I see can I see

29:28

her one more time? I do eat

29:30

more rocks when I'm nervous or upset it does

29:33

like bring me down and makes me feel more

29:35

calm. That's hard for me. When my mom eats

29:37

rocks it's kind of

29:39

like she goes to La La Land she

29:41

doesn't seem to be paying attention to anything

29:44

going on around her. Okay so he said

29:46

yeah she said she eats more rocks when

29:48

she's nervous or upset. Right. Maybe

29:51

maybe my mama's upset with me maybe

29:54

I'm maybe I got to figure out how

29:56

to not upset mama so she don't so

29:58

she don't need to rock. random

32:00

ones go high-pitched. I used to do high-pitched

32:02

voices. I did Bobby's World and

32:04

Gizmo. I know. I use that in one of

32:06

your freestyles. I would love to do that. Let's

32:12

release something. I would love to do a freestyle and

32:14

then you do the voiceover,

32:17

you know. How do I do that? Like I

32:19

would send you the freestyle in my voice from

32:22

the perspective of let's say Bobby and

32:24

then you know you rerecord it with

32:26

Bobby's actual voice. I'll do that or

32:29

I can also be your hype man. Oh that

32:32

would be sick actually. A song featuring Bobby.

32:34

Yeah exactly. Yeah. Should we

32:37

try it? I don't know. We could try it.

32:39

Okay. What do you want to do? I'll just I'll do

32:41

a rhyme and then you'll fill in with some ad libs.

32:43

I don't know that I can do that but let's try.

32:45

Okay let's try. Okay. Should we just dive

32:47

in? I'm trying to split. I love that our director is trying

32:49

to split the screen but you're

32:51

not even on the screen. If

32:54

I move this way will that help you? Will

32:56

that help you and then you don't have to go okay. Well

33:01

you're not on he's not on the screen. I can't

33:03

see what you're seeing. Okay it

33:05

doesn't matter. He's trying to direct. He was

33:07

improvising. Yeah. He's not the director is not

33:09

great at improvising. I don't know if every

33:11

role on the show should freestyle. Do

33:14

you know what I mean? Like some like maybe the

33:16

director should have freestyle. What about sex? Should

33:19

that be freestyle or should there be a plan? I

33:23

think it should be a freestyle once it once it

33:25

commences. Do you think we should call the fiance and

33:27

ask? I

33:30

don't think she'll want to discuss it.

33:32

Right. It's such a public. That's a

33:34

management decision. Exactly. Okay go ahead start.

33:37

Oh yeah freestyle with Bobby. Okay yo

33:39

off the top my freestyle's godly. Harry

33:41

Mack collab here with Bobby. Yeah I'm

33:43

about to let it unfurl. Yo we

33:45

about to go to Bobby's world. Yeah

33:48

so come follow along. Y'all never expected to

33:51

hear Bobby on the song. When

33:53

I spit damn I'm great kid.

33:55

And like Bobby I'm animated. Yes!

34:01

Like that! Yeah! Wow!

34:05

We did that! We did that! That was incredible!

34:07

That was amazing! That was incredible! I love that!

34:10

I've never really been part of it. We used

34:12

to sing a lot on the show. We

34:15

had an album out. We won a Grammy! I

34:17

got nominated for a Grammy. Really? Yeah. That's amazing.

34:20

Why? You don't think I'm that good or worthy of that?

34:22

I think you're completely worthy of a Grammy. But

34:25

you said it's amazing. So

34:27

far today, you didn't

34:30

think I would be doing any research or even know

34:33

who you are. And you're amazed that maybe I got

34:35

nominated for a Grammy. I don't think I did. I

34:37

think I'm lying. I

34:39

mean... So that's why it's amazing. You know? Because it

34:41

didn't happen. So do you live with your

34:43

girlfriend right now? Yes. So you're already

34:45

in and... Do you have children? We do not have children. Do

34:48

you want children? Yeah, we're talking about it. Why

34:50

are you talking about it? Just improvise. See what

34:52

happens. Talk about a

34:55

flow. Yeah.

34:57

Family planning. I don't know if that should be freestyled.

34:59

Really? Well, I think that's... How old are you? I'm

35:02

34. Oh,

35:04

you're still a baby. Same age as my son. Oh,

35:06

okay. Yeah. Yeah. And...

35:08

But you

35:10

cohabitate. Is that weird to

35:12

live, cohabitate,

35:16

and marry, and be managed all by

35:18

the same person? For

35:20

us, it works really well. I think it could be

35:22

weird. You know, in a lot of situations, I don't

35:24

think it would always work. For us, it works. But

35:26

it does require some attention. You

35:29

know, like we have to have boundaries. We have

35:31

to know when we're

35:33

working and when we're not working, like

35:35

when we're relating to each other as

35:37

like manager and creator, as opposed to

35:39

when we're relating to each other as,

35:42

you know, a romantic partnership. You go

35:44

shopping together? Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. Is

35:46

that hard? Like you go, I want this cereal,

35:48

and she'll say, I want that cereal. At

35:51

the grocery store. Do you know

35:53

what you want, both of you? Or you don't argue over

35:55

that stuff? Yeah, we basically have it figured out. She's

35:58

gluten free, so I end up eating gluten. I'm

44:00

not saying anything. I'm waiting for no. I saw you give a

44:02

signal Freestyle

44:11

is not subtle two guys just floating

44:13

in a puddle y'all know when I

44:15

shine bright I'm beaming these two cats

44:18

a little really streaming. Yeah, yo, they

44:20

heard I'm a fiend I'm on the

44:22

scene. They really in the murky stream

44:24

y'all know my freestyle is right now

44:26

We're godly water so dirty you can't

44:28

even see the body My

44:30

skills can't be exaggerated looking like two heads

44:32

that got decapitated Separate from the rest of

44:34

the body it seems while they simply float

44:37

through the murky stream Who would have thought

44:39

this would happen while the Mac and grips

44:41

on the mic to take action with rapping?

44:44

And y'all know that I can easily see these

44:46

two guys, but they seem kind of creepy Why

44:49

are they staring at me while I'm rapping tight

44:51

and by the way, why is the imagery black

44:53

and white when did this happen? I'm confused without

44:55

their bodies these two dudes will lose just a

44:57

couple heads floating on the water Are they decapitated

44:59

and did they get slaughtered and honestly where is

45:01

the stream headed? Oh get it headed beheaded Yo,

45:03

I said it in one take with no edit

45:05

every microphone that I'm on be getting shredded I

45:08

mean these guys really know how to deliver, but

45:10

how come they're not getting caught up in the

45:12

river I mean it seems as though the water

45:14

movements average and it seems like they get swept

45:16

up in the rapids But instead they are staying

45:18

stationary and that's why this video here is amazing

45:20

Harry I can't imagine where the body's at that

45:22

must be vital This is the type of clip

45:24

that would surely go viral and later on after

45:27

I excel when I come back in two years

45:29

Howie Mandel will say let me show you a

45:31

clip Is that you and I'll say of course

45:33

that's me, you know, dude We did it together

45:35

just a couple years back the first time that

45:37

you invited the Harry to the Mac to come

45:39

up on your Chair and sit up in the

45:41

blue one so that I could rhyme off the

45:44

top like what it do son And now I'm

45:46

here rocking the whole world. I see you got

45:48

a fishbowl. I see you got a squirrel I

45:50

see you got a blue bottle or something. I'm

45:52

not sure. I hope it's not toxic I hope

45:54

it is pure and every time I rhyme, you

45:56

know, I let it linger remove the blue dress

45:58

to reveal the middle finger Next

48:00

time. It would've been good. Do you practice

48:02

the drums a lot? Yeah,

48:04

I've been practicing the drums more and more because

48:06

I gigged for years as a drummer. And then

48:08

when my career started picking up as a rapper,

48:10

I kind of took a hiatus from the drums

48:12

for a little while. But

48:15

I got my drum set up again, and I've been practicing,

48:18

getting back into it. Trying to figure out

48:20

how to drum and freestyle at the same

48:22

time is very challenging. Is it? It's hard,

48:24

yeah. Yeah. It's like one has

48:26

to take a backseat to the other. I

48:28

want to be able to do both full

48:30

force. Right. But I find that really

48:32

challenging. I

48:37

was going to ask you if you wanted a drum, because

48:39

we have drums. Oh. You want to

48:41

try to improvise with the band? I

48:44

would love that. We've got a mic set up

48:46

for him, too. We can play the beat for him, or he can

48:48

hit the drums, or whatever he wants. We can do both, man. I

48:51

could try drumming and rapping. I could try drumming and rapping. Let's go

48:53

over there, and you have a mic. And I

48:55

will take off your headset, go over to the

48:57

band, and you'll be able to hear me. Can

49:00

he hear me over there? It's going

49:02

to get muddled once we start the music. It'll

49:04

be harder for him to hear you. Can you

49:06

guys take a camera off the pod, or

49:10

you can get me on a phone and give me a mic?

49:13

Check, check, check. One, two. Can you hear my? Can you hear me? You can do

49:15

writing, unless you want me to give me some more game. Check,

49:18

check. Ayo. H Mac, off

49:20

the top of the dome. Every time I

49:22

freestyle, I'll be locked in the zone. Impossible

49:25

poems. I know I get to popping with

49:27

these. Yeah. I do the drums while I'm

49:29

dropping the freeze. I be coming off the

49:31

dome with the band connecting. Known for spitting

49:34

rhymes in like every direction. Make a heavy

49:36

connection with the fans when I'm spitting. So

49:38

nice with the rhythm, they figured the shit

49:40

was written. This is all lifetime. Overdomes, they

49:43

bought a spot. Came to rock with how

49:45

we meant to help. Here to excel, we

49:47

do it well. I propel myself through space

49:50

while I kick more freestyle rhymes out my

49:52

face. Y'all know the deal, though. I'm never

49:54

faking, kicking hard like steel toes. H Mac,

49:56

delivering the real flow. Y'all know

49:58
