Freestyle anything isn't written or choreographed. It's improvised in the moment. That's it.
@tdsnbeer59984 ай бұрын
I am an old way thinker of freestyles come straight off the dome in the moment. I do understand what you are saying about written can be freestyling but in order for me to get behind that, the written can't be changed and must be written all at the same time. Once modified or altered, its a written song. Once you start practicing the same freestyle, adjusting cadence, timing, pattern, etc.. its now modified (not free anymore) and a song imo. A freestyle is original content (old beat or new beat or no beat) right from the rip, off the dome, in the moment. Mack goes next level by expanding his freestyles talking about the words he is given, not just using the word once or twice, and then also brings the person and the environment in the background into his freestyle which not only makes his freestyles unique but makes his freestyles personal and engaging with his audience. H Mack is the straight 🐐 of freestyle rap!!!!
@Brooklyn_Ocho4 ай бұрын
Understandable what your saying. But a song no, a song would require hook, breaks, chorus…stuff like that…taping for idk lets says 3 minutes straight to no particular subject matter and random cadences even though the person may have gone back and changed a few words here and there can still be considered a freestyle. I get what you mean “yea off the dome” but as long as it follows the principles of it being free of style and pertaining to no particular subject…its still qualifies as a freestyle. Check what H. Mack says kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4q2o419o9ShgMUsi=p4GwxevhRj6sEhvP

Ultimately everything you said is correct. And improv rapping is not better, it's usually worse actually... But still special cuz of what it is... I feel ya but I don't think writtens should be called frees, just by definition🤷 Definition of "Freestyle": 1.Music and Rap: In music, particularly in rap and hip-hop, "freestyle" refers to improvisational performance where the artist delivers lyrics on the spot, often without any pre-written material. It can involve rhyming or rapping over a beat and is valued for showcasing an artist's creativity, spontaneity, and lyrical skill. That is Chat GPT... Not exactly a reliable source for absolute truth BUT usually a good representation of over all consensus of general or basic knowledge... This definition feels refreshing and correct personally....and while there is a case to be made in either direction I tend to lean towards freestyle being primarily improvisational in nature. But I digress... Great Reaction. God Bless and Hope your channel continues to grow!💪😎
@Brooklyn_Ocho4 ай бұрын
Appreciate the input here Kevin. Yea Chat GPT I wouldn’t look to for this subject matter at least a correct response. Just the word freestyle in general is typically an improved type of thing so in terms of data/information it gathers it would say a response of that matter. But based off hip hop knowledge and its growth, a freestyle actually came from being written first then transitioned to off the dome. Here’s a link from an interview with Big Daddy Kane colemizestudios.com/freestyle-rapping/
@kevenbass63984 ай бұрын
@@Brooklyn_Ocho when I think about it... Other types of free styles tend to agree with you.... Like freestyle tricks in dirt bike moto cross and BMX. They call them freestyle trick competitions, but the riders are performing specific tricks that they have been practicing for a long time but often for the first time in live competition. But other times the tricks are repeat ones they have perfected .. . I have to admit bias and accept defeat on this one.... My conclusion is if I want an art or craft to continue to develop and get better, than it must allow for pre performance practice and preparation... rather it be foam pits in x games... or pre written Bars in hip hop... So freestyles are destined for better and greater things in the future by allowing the definition some room to breathe🤔 I concede to your opinion and agree!

@MattCanev4194 ай бұрын
...also, In regards to your freestyle philosophy. You are correct in both your thoughts and statement regarding Harry's position being the same as yours (and mine). Seeing as I'm an old head I'd like to add Additional perspective. As you (and Harry) have mentioned, yes, freestyle did start out being fully "improvisational". Originally in the later 90s when freestylimg started to become popular in the mainstream, the Freestyles were mostly Acapella. Very artsy and poetic. They were rough around the edges at best but impressive due to the skill of semi improvising with semi flow and slanted rymes. Once Rap City The Basement started doing freestyle segments with artists, it kind of exploded. Then it became a bit of a fad that you werent a "real MC if you couldnt freestyle". Thats when you had big name rappers coming on with pre-canned bars, segments of older rymes mixed with observations and some new rymes, over beats. They didnt want to be looked at as fake MCs. I recall Snoop being one of the first to do that in the 90s. Not great at improvs at the time. There was a lot of lottie dotties and parties with bacardi lol. Regardless though, that approach by rappers was much more polished sounding and became more common into the mid 2000s and ultimately the more popular form of freestyling. It was Better for tv and also recieved better by the viewers. It had more energy, it sounded better AND you got new bars from your favorite rappers. It was a win win. Eventually i think even 106 & park had some freestylimg. That is kind of how the diverging philosophies began their evolution. Of course you have all the famous freestylers between then and now who made their contributions. Wild n out which i assume is at least partially staged but entertaining. Now we got Harry Mack who has come along and put it all together in a rediculously mind blowing way. It took me quite few videos to believe it wasnt some how fake. Dude is a Martian👽

To people who know Harry is off the top, and that written freestyles are a different thing, they understand that nobody can do what Harry does at his level, but to the uninitialized, they may think a bunch of people freestyle like Harry...yes, a Honda and Ferrari are both cars, but there are differences...dope reaction though💪

I have no problem with the term "freestyle" being written or off-top as long as they are clear which is which😅 I don't want someone who has taken the time to think, write, rehearse, and perform a bananas verse being compared to someone who is just spittin off-top, in the moment, completely improvised. My only issue is when someone hears HMack spit a freestyle and then try to compare it to legendary radio written freestyles like Black Thought on Flex, J.Cole on LA Leakers, Ray Vaugh on LA Leakers, etc.. It is just two different skillsets. As long as people are clear on which is which for each type, I don't care what people want to call it. I believe the term "freestyle" did start out as a written verse about nothing imparticular. And then it evolved to being completely off-top. Then it evolved again, but the lines have been blurred, and people don't know which is written and which is completely off-top. I mean they should because itbis usually kimd of clear. That is my thoughts on it, but I know some people are very passionate about the deliniation. And I think it is because they don't want the two versions compared to one another because it isn't really fair. Always appreciate the reactions homie. I'm about to peep that HMack x Coast Contra reaction right now.🫡✌️

I think if anyone who is doing written as "freestyle" it's a fair assessment to say they still have a lot of talent. However I guarantee you if every single person who does that could possibly just do it off the dome they would be doing that. Written may be a form of freestyle but its on a lower level to people coming straight off the dome. Also he can see the beat flowing on his monitor as well while he's in the studio.so he can see the peaks and troughs of the beat as they are coming.

@@Brooklyn_Ocho lol no, I mean try to get to the content you’re reacting to quicker. I haven’t heard one line yet but I’m 4 minutes into the video lol. That’s prolly longer than the freestyle itself but you say you’re reacting to freestyle. I hope you get what I’m saying tho, many can’t sit through the video that long without seeing or hearing what the video is meant for. Great video btw, I love the energy!💪🔥

Freestyles supposed to be freestyle..... You almost had me convinced but then you said something different you got to split the whole thing live without stopping or missing a beat
@Brooklyn_Ocho4 ай бұрын
No you don’t. A freestyle does not have to be done live…or without stopping or missing a beat. A person can spit a freestyle poem to no beat, take many pauses and have it written down in front of him and it would still be considered a freestyle…IF you know, it was in fact free of style and pertaining to no particular subject(s)
@AustinPlotnik4 ай бұрын
You obviously don’t know what the difference is between a freestyle and a free verse. Writtens are not freestyles, hence it was previously written and not free. 😂😂😂😂
@Brooklyn_Ocho4 ай бұрын
So if a dancer performs a freestyle dance…do you think they’ve never done the move before…? Also, a free verse is a term in poetry that doesn’t rhyme…or is sparatic. Sooooooooooo how do you make what you said make sense? A freestyle can be written or off the dome, period colemizestudios.com/freestyle-rapping/
@Brooklyn_Ocho4 ай бұрын
The word Free in freestyle doesn’t mean it’s free, off the dome it means free as in free of style, not pertaining to any specific subject and doesn’t necessarily have a direction. Idk where you got that free means it can’t be written.

Bro ur wrong freestyling is when you create and improvise in the moment while rapping, Writing give u time to think about bars and flows. Not freestyling G

It sounds like you don’t really understand what freestyle means. You should have lead with “IMO freestyle is….” What you said isn’t what the VAST majority of what people think of freestyle.
@Brooklyn_OchoАй бұрын
So 2 things you said here. 1 vast majority of what people THINK. Think is not know. From Big Daddy Kane and Harry Mack’s mouths…they both said in video and in a written interview freestyling is raps free of verse, having no chorus, no bridge, no real direction or on certain topic…pretty much what I said. And it’s not in my opinion, that’s pretty much fact. Check Harry Mack’s video out if you need more confirmation.

Written rap means ur gonna sit down over a longer period of time redefining words, writing, erasing, rewriting sentences.. like a painter working on his masterpiece. If yu sit down right now, make a rap of 3 random subjects in 5 minutes then perform it, its a freestyle. Period
