Hey BA. Harry Mack is ridiculous.
I’m sure you’ve probably seen/heard it already, but if not, the mark rebillet/ Harry Mack livestream from a year or so ago is awesome. Two masters of improv masterfully laying down some serious hits. (mark and Wayne Brady’s session is worth a watch too).
Hey bullet, good to see. Hope all is well. Yeah man, well familiar with Marc. I watch Crypto Banter, so I hear Marc every morning. And there was a couple years where I was listening to mostly these two all day long. Both geniuses.
My favorite, though, are the reaction videos from producers and djs, whose discovery of Mack inevitably goes something like this…
“Hey folks, welcome back to ‘Chickenman Listens.’ I’m your Chickenman, baaaaaaaaaaaby. So, this week, we have a guy I keep being told in the chat I have to listen to. You guys keep suggesting his videos. And my boy in Detriot keeps calling me about this kid. I have no idea who this dude is or what he does. I guess he raps. You know, I used to rap in high school. We did like battle of the bands. We beat out like most of the best crews in north Hartford. So, let’s see…”
Then, a minute into watching Harry (and trying to anticipate and bite Harry’s lines, with no avail), they are like… “Wow, this guy is pretty good. See, you can tell he’s actually freestyling because he incorporates the things around him.”
After another minute. “Ok, this guy is amazing. I need to make it clear that I never did what this man is doing. I’ve never seen anything like this…”
Thirty-seven videos later, now his entire channel has become ANOTHER Harry Mack dedicated reaction channel. And each time he’s like (on the verge of tears), “You just don’t understand. That was a triple-entendre back-to-back freestyle. I’m going to go home and burn all my equipment and become a dentist like my parents wanted, because Harry shows me I don’t belong in this business.”
Harry and Marc got me through the pandemic. Hard not to smile after a Harry Mack vid. I remember seeing Supernatural at “Rock the Bells,” and having my jaw drop at that. But, Harry is next gen, computer brain.
