BRAIN DOCTOR reacts to Harry Mack - NEUROSCIENCE of improvisation (Omegle 45) 

I'm dying over here. "We are going to break down what's going on inside his brain neurologically..." 1 minute later "How does he do that???" That's a question we all ask. Loved the reaction. Much love to you and the channel.

Harry mack is insane. He did a 10 hour freestyle live for 1 milliion subs. I took a nap, woke up, and this dude was still freestyling lol.

the GREATEST freestyler to EVER live. All of you should be HONORED to live in the same generation as this legend

He didn’t forget blasphemy. He set the bar up to have his audience finish the bar. He’s done it several times and each time is insane!

We need Mack rapping live from an MRI machine!

Harry has transcended to something beyond freestyling. I remember watching him incorporate and expand on stoic philosophers on the fly and it rhymed, told a story and actually rattled off names of the stoics then flipped to talking about pizzas or whatever. He's phenomenal

Harry has said numerous times he's been practicing rapping since he was 12, he's in his early 30s now, so close to 20 years of this. If you go back even 3 or 4 years on his channel you can see he has some rough edges. So, I think he's still getting sharper. His ability to expand on the topic given to him has gotten pretty incredible. He won't just rhyme the word "dinosaur" with something, he'll name specific dinosaurs and relate characteristics of them into rhymes. And then effortlessly bring it into a topic about wormholes.

As a nerd of neuroscience and a fan of H. Mack, this is something that mystifies me every time I watch him

Wow! Never thought there was a possibility that a neurologist could analyze a freestyle rapper. Huge fan of Harry Mack, and now I'm a fan of yours

The only thing you didn’t touch upon in the context of his processes is his ability to take the emotional temperature of the room constantly as well, understand what hits, when audience isn’t quite getting it, knowing mood, capturing emotional cues. This is often what I’m most impressed by. His ability to pivot within his rhymes to elicit more reaction, making a super personal comment, keeping a certain flow, playing with triple time and returning to it cuz it elicits a smile.

When it comes to freestyling, you usually have a glossary of words in your brain that rhyme together. That's the easy way to do it. Harry is just on a completely different level. He sets up his rhymes and flow 10 steps ahead almost instantaneously. It also helps that he's a Jazz drummer which is a huge factor in why his flow is so clean and seamless. I work with musicians every day and have been a hip hop fan most of my adult life and i can confidently say that no one is even close to Harry. The man is an enigma.

This is what happens when an already gifted mind puts in an insane amount of hard work on top of it. Love seeing all the reactions Harry gets from a wide variety of people. The common denominator is that he leaves them all smiling. You can feel the positive energy radiate from him. So glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves. World would be a better place with more role models like Harry

What a refreshing reaction. Get ready for H mack fans to demand more content and a deeper dive. THey'll also want you to do a full episode review. Do yourself a favour and listen to more of his content even if you don't do more reactions. He is such a humble human being who does his freestyles for free to lift people and bring positivity and a new form of hip hop to the masses. His genius is unparalled because there just isn't anyone who can do what he does in rap or any genre of music.

This is explains a lot, harry himself talks about how when he's asked to freestyle about a subject that's personal to him, what comes out of his mouth are the way he feels about the subject on the deepest level. Even more interesting is that his fans have discovered what happens when he's asked to freestyle from a crazy perspective, like from the perspective of an angry bear or a dollar bill. The most hilariously brilliant stories come out. This man's brain is really one of a kind.

Almost midnight and ive been binge watching Harry Mack videos. Only discovered this lyrical genius today. I am glad I watched this reaction video of harry mack because its really inspired me to quieten that inner critic and tap into flow state and have more fun! Can you IMAGINE if MORE souls are able to tap into flow state and access their creative unfiltered genius? Thank you for this amazing analysis and I send much love and positivity to every soul who might see this comment. You are, we are wonderful beautiful souls tapping into a whole new level of flow state!

One of my favorite moments from Harry was early on in his guerrilla bars series. While he’s rapping someone asks him for his instagram. While completing keeping on the beat and rhyming he gives the guys his instagram and then is able to correct him when he made a typo. All while rapping…incredible

What the genuine phxk?! How come I've never heard of him yet? I need to crawl out from underneat whatever rock I've been living.

It’s actually amazing that he blanked on the word blasphemy but subconsciously his brain was already lining it up as he was rapping other words that rhymed with blasphemy. A beautiful mind. I always said his brain needs studying. Excellent work Doc👍

I've probably burned through 4 hours of Harry Mack stuff today and I kept thinking a lot about how his brain is wired to allow for this level of multi-tasking. He is simultaneously presenting while preparing which is just absolutely phenomenal -- especially when he does both so well. Thank you for the video, somehow YT knew it was exactly what I wanted to see which is wild :)

I saw Harry on Venice beach 8 years ago and was blown away by his talent. So glad he’s finally getting the attention and respect he deserves!

Hopefully you can collab with Harry Mack.

That's when you know HMack be doing big things when he got neurological doctors reacting to his freestyles trying to explain how his brain functions!! I'm here for it, the man's a straight alien. Great reaction gained a sub

He has a rare gift and connects with people emotionally very easily. Whether it's freestyle rapping or doing something else in the entertainment industry, Harry Mack is destined for stardom!

I've noticed H likes to interact on a personal level with his audience. Through asking which word he'd forgotten to the guys, he was able to take a strategic breath and reset while delivering a suspenseful pause. That pause is similar to "the drop" in EDM music, but incorporated into his flow. He is without doubt a one of a kind talent.

I'm a former rapper who also performed in Hip Hop clubs for a few years and I can confirm that every time I freestyle or write a lyric, I got a chill down my spine right to my prefrontal cortex in the split seconds when I realized I had a great rhyme ( punchline ). It's also all about natural talent. Someone like Harry Mack isn't born by the dozen. You have to have a huge vocabulary and as much life experience as possible. It's also a natural intelligence where you think about the world and yourself until you feel euphoric.

He is a gift to the hip hop genre! NEVER seen anything like him in 25 years listening to hip hop! And he's the most humble artist aa well! 5 star lyrism! And don't forget he has to have that internal clock to stay in the pocket (of the beats)

The craziest two things about Harry Mack besides being able to improvise in the moment is 1) the ability to create a smooth transition between each word seamlessly in a way that sounds like a story and makes sense and 2) the ability to change the flow of his rap to match the music for different styles of rap while still staying consistent. It's literally mind blowing! I love how he expands off of one word and then is able to connect the next word into the song with one smooth transition. Amazing!

His drumming background is an essential part of his freestyling skill level.

Who are we kidding! We just came here to see your reaction. We all know HM is an alien 👽

As person with a post-grad degree in Clinical Psychology, as well as a giant Harry Mack fan, I absolutely love that videos like this are out here. I wish more videos like this would get put into people's recommended videos. Then more people would have the opportunity to experience the different between how someone might communicate when they actually know about something compared to those who are just parroting info, or being dramatic for views/attention/other. Super smart people sometimes seem boring though RU-vid needs more people who can be really intelligent in their subject matter and also entertaining enough to draw in someone who might not be interested in learning something and is just looking for random entertainment. Keep up the great videos!

The lyric doctor left this brain doctor, moist, and confused as hell. 😂😂😂

This was such an incredible find when looking for Harry Mack reactions. The science was amazing, thank you for adding a whole different light to an amazing talent!

That was dope, Neurogal! 🔥 Harry loves science. You should hit him up for an interview. He’d probably do a freestyle with words you give him! I’d love to understand more about how the practice of freestyle might help other areas of life. ✌️

Harry also for sure has insane working memory. To be able to juggle multiple rhymes, lines and words whilst also taking note of things from his audience is insane... I don't think I could remember those 6 words for over 3 minutes only focusing on remembering those words let alone producing a crazy freestyle rap!! Great video :)

He's way underrated. He had insane control on the English language, and his flow is out of this world. I think it's awesome you like him. What you think when he hit that double time? That's unusual for a solid freestyle.

You have changed my life and how I see the world, doctor. You made me realise that every time I was efficient and creative, I was in that flow state. And amazingly, every example of my flow states I could think of had three similarities: I was having fun, I was confident, and I liked how was being appeared (relating to that idea of self praising). You changed my perspective on the world and my life completely different. You truely changed my life. Thank you so much, doctor.

🤯🤯 HMack is on a totally different level. He’s sooooo unbelievable that he gets great reactions from other rappers, poets, mental health therapists, and now a neurologist. Thank you for this great video and explanation. HMack is a true wonder of this world. 🔥

This was very interesting, thank you for putting this together. I'm a lawyer, never cared for hip hop before stumbling on Harry Mack, but I'm just captivated by his ability. Subscribed.

Incredibly impressed with how much detail you went into. I’ve been a fan of Harry Mack for years and it still amazes me to this day. Hearing your breakdown gave me so much information.

I think this was the best, most informative video I’ve seen this year-WELL worth my time! I’m so glad I found you!

Haha so cool you went into the correlation of freestyle hip-hop and the cognitive function of the brain! "...And he's flowing!" You even got the head nod going a little! I love it, Dr. Moise!!

Neurogal creates another winner. Thanks for opening up this fascinating topic. I'm really curious about the link between gesturing, body rhythm, and speech. My grandson enjoys it much and freestyles. He's twelve and on the asd spectrum. He always uses his hands and body, walks around while he does it, says crazy things that rhyme and, like Harry, make some sense. Thanks for mapping out the neuroanatomy. And, thanks for mentioning morning pages. I appreciate you and your channel.

Wow! I’ve been a subscriber for over a year and I’m so happy to see RU-vid finally let her break through the algorithm. She’s brilliant, talented, and gorgeous. Keep it up!!

By far this is the coolest and realist reaction I’ve ever seen! Thank you

I'm super happy that the algorithm put this video in my radar. It's super dope to see a reaction to Harry Mack from this perspective. What's even more amazing about him, is that he IS able to reconnect with his conscious decision making on the fly. He sometimes makes tiny mistakes, or changes his mind within a rhyme, and is able to switch to a new direction or decision almost instantly. You should definitely check out his "rap god" freestyle, where he raps super fast while reading and reacting. It's insane.

Would have loved to see your first reaction/introduction to Harry Mack! That must have been something to see! The man isnt just a rapper, he’s an artist, an intellect and an educator (his mom was a teacher) Edit: sorry, i got mixed up since your intro, you seemed to already know Harry Mack. I would definitely recommend you to finish reacting to the whole video and not just the first freestyle. What’s interesting about Harry Mack’s freestyle is that it’s not just limited to the same style of freestyling (ie limited to object/visual recognition, not just singular word scheming), he’s able to story-tell using his imagination, create hooks/chorus’ on the spot and remember the rhyme scheme, open up deep about societal situations like substance abuse, citizenship, depression, etc all the while freestyling, changing his cadences, his tempos, inflections and emotion into his music. The man is something else…

i love watching reactions to harry harry mack and this is a completely different kind of reaction and im here for it!!

The way Anna frequently looks into the camera while listening to Harry Mack makes me forget that we are actually watching a scientific channel.

That was a great fresh perspective - I have always wondered how he is able to do what he does - you may not know this but he is an accomplished jazz drummer and you see it when his arms and hands are moving to keep him on beat and flow. What really boggles my mind is how he sets us stanzas to breaks in the beat and has a natural drummers gift in anticipating changes in beats/breakdowns and uses his arms and fingers to help guide the words that flow of him. A unique unmatched talent and seems to be a humble great guy as well. I’ve been watching him for years and he continues to improve - he is way past 10,000 hours that Gladwell speaks about. Thanks for the reaction. Please do more. Maybe some Sacks type analysis on what he does ;)

Harry did not forget the last word, he always does that sometimes to get the crowd engaged and to get a reaction different from the still reactions of them being just shocked, he is not human is the only explanation trust me.. I tested him and gave him insane words during his live donation celebration video.

Once in a while I come back to watch this vid. I love your reactions and explanations. And you are beautiful!! I’d love more of Harry Mack reaction vids.

Thank you, Anna, you literally just explained how freestyling and rap have gotten me through a dark traumatic life. I've been in and out of psychiatric wards for a long time and many asked if I was hopeless then why am I still here. But honestly, it's hard to explain, even PTSD and other diagnosed conditions just disappear when I get up on the mic. While only temporary, It has proved stronger than any medication and therapy to date. While I still carry many scars, rap keeps me moving forward, and shout out to Harry Mack, dude is from an entirely different dimension. I understand how he does it but the speed and level of skill to do what he does is on another level.

this is exactly the nerdy neuro content i need!

Harry's level of skill is due to him putting in that famous 10k hours of practice, and more. And doing it methodically, I think that is the most important part. He studied violin for sime time and jazz drums for a lot of years, and he talked about how he took methods from music school and made practice methods for himself to train himself in freestyle. So he does an exercise to improve a specific skill (eg just making a rhyming couplet, or just making a setup), then he trains another specific skill building on some previous one (having the second part of a couplet be a sentence that makes sense with the punch word, then practicing to make the setup part of the couplet a sensical sentance with the setup word; or practicing just some cadence and switches, etc). He does a specific task, and practices that a bunch, doesnt allow himself to hide mistakes by going into another skill, he just hammer in that one skill, makes mistakes, hones the skill. Then he does freestyle and uses the skill but as soon he cant keep it up he can freely improvise by using another skill, switching the flow, going into a different rhyming pattern etc, so it all flows well, without a hickup. But when he returns to practicing he just does one skill at a time. And he has been doing for over a decade. Maybe some people would think it takes away the magic, but I find it fascinating, he invented a professional-level method of practicing for himself, and used it to reach incredible levels of skill, never before seen in freestyle.

Im a huge H Mack fan as I'm sure many of the commenters here are and I really appreciated getting to see some of the science behind what he is able to do. Super cool video, I loved it, thank you!

Fantastic reaction and information on how the brain works. I love it! One thing I picked up from this, that makes me really happy, is the fact that Harry from a scientifical point of view really is in his happy place while rapping, the Flow State. That's so amazing and I was so happy to hear that ☀️☀️☀️ sound like a fantastic place to be!

The algorithm must have brought me to your channel. I haven’t this Omegle Bars in a while. You just gained a new subscriber. Thanks for Harry Mack reaction. The neuro angle to viewing is awesome.

I love this breakdown! I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and my therapist was relating my description of my creative writing process as the flow stage. Similarly, the mindset when I write is similar to how I go about improv comedy. I love the flow state mentality as it allows me to exercise self-patience and manage my inner critic, which I can then apply to situations in my everyday life.

The funny thing is he didnt forget the last word... he acted like it... which makes it even more incredible!

Found you because I'm a big Harry Mack fan, and it put you in my algorithm. I absolutely love your videos, I'm a big fan of Dr. Berg he's a nutritionist that breaks down the science behind everything. I have an accute memory, so I'll retain all the information I get from you well enough to sound like an expert.. 🥰🤩keep up the great work! Sharing your content already!

This is brilliant. Big H-Mack fan and this provides great insight in how he gets to his flow state. Thank you!

Love your analysis as well as your suggestions on achieving a flow-state of our own, on our own... We all are constantly in awe of Harry and how he does what he does.

Ty for bringing this video into existence

Funny how this is such a popular video for you. Harry Mack is the man for sure. I enjoyed it very much TY.

Another thing that stunns me about him is while he's at the top of freestyling, he still keeps somehow improving. This dude is beyond anything, for real.

This is a fascinating reaction. Just wanted to add that Harry Mack does do morning pages as you described. It was mentioned in one of the behind-the-bars videos.

Incredible perspective and analysis! Thanks for sharing.

Good god… what a beautiful video. Quality content at its finest. Thx for sharing!

Great video and break down! Calming the nerves is the most important thing while performing under pressure. Subscribed!

I watch a lot of reactions to Harry and it's usually from people with like hiphop background so they can explain the bars I miss, haha. You had just an awesome reaction video and I really enjoyed it! He is so great in that way that no matter if you're into rap at all, you still will just love what he does.

loved this breakdown, thank you for making this 🙏

I came here because I love watching Harry Mack reactions but damn, this information is so helpful. Thank you! I've been in a rut creatively for years and how you described whats goes on in your brain and how to combat overly self-monitoring is so helpful.

h mack lets go!!!!

Thank you so much for the flow state explanation!!! It applies to so much more than art as well :) sports, video games, and much more

This is such high quality content. Earned a fan. As a nerd and rap fan this is great. Love the self-critic talk at the end - Artist’s Way & Outliers are two books I read during the pandemic.

This was short, yet the most informative, motivational video I watched in 2022, thank you so much Dr for this analysis, it's actually funny, as one of the best ideas from life, were immediately when I wake up, even better, is when something happens the previous day, and I just assess it more accurately when I wake up the next day. Something I have been asking myself why for years, until I saw this video, looks like the true enemy of yourself, is yourself. Keep up the great work, I just subscribed.

This was remarkable! Wouldn't have thought such a reaction would exist with so much info and insights. Thank you for this, subbed.

This was awesome and super interesting to watch! I kept getting blown away because some of the things you explained made perfect sense with stuff that Harry has mentioned in his videos and interviews. He's talked about not being judgemental with the ideas that come up in his head and letting free, instead of worrying if the bar/line is good enough, appropriate, etc. He's also incredibly positive and has often talked about self-love in his raps, and he's also mentioned his daily habit of writing pages in the morning! Again, great video! Very well explained and super interesting 😊 Loved the quote at the end btw

This is my favorite one yet... Ms. Neurogal MD you pick my fave!

you deduced the rapping progress so simply, I love it

This was quite fun to watch. Loved the reaction ❤️

Thank you so much for the insight! You presented this very well. Just gained a subscriber. I want to learn more! lol

Your channel is a treasure. I discovered your vodeos tonight and I must say that you add a level of class and intelligence to RU-vid that the internet is sorely missing. Thank you for all you do.

This is such a great video. She has so very easily explained how the brain works as it relates to creativity, permissions, etc. I'm going to have to re-watch this video several times to fully process the full value of this video. Thank you for doing this.

This was such a great and unique watch. I really appreciate how informative the reaction was. You have a new subscriber and I can’t wait to watch and learn more from your videos! P.S. Please give us more Harry Mack content!

You can analyze the crap out of this but it also comes to 20 years of daily practice and the feeling of music he has! Rare combination! Nobody can do this on this level but Harry Mack. 🔥🙏❤️

Loved the content!!! Thank you!!! much LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️

That was a wonderful show Dr. thank you!

Please do more of Harry Mack. This was a genius idea. We all wanted this and we need more

that was such a good reaction AND explanation of all the freestyle process in the brain ! i must say I would loved to see that kind of rational explanation of what happen in the brain while two people connect to share a powerful moment and for that I would recommend the last guy whole segment of omegle bars 18 ! the whole thing is a gem !

Hip hop, neuroscience, clear explications and poetry to end it. Well done. Thanks for this

Amazing video I watched all the way through and loved this!!

This was hilarious! Love this lady's reaction. Impossible not to be in aw

I would like to know what's going on when he forgets a word but still rhymes with it with like 10 other similar words, it's like his brain is searching for the right word but just can't find it. Would also need an explanation to how he even can keep the words he's been given in mind the whole time while rapping thousands of other words, even I as a listener forgets the words and I don't do shit. He can be given 8 words and he goes through them in correct order and everything. Harry's brain is amazing.

I love that you done Omegle bars 45 that’s my favourite one by far, the way he sets up a rhyme for blasphemy and misses it out just to use it as a callback and make an even more 🔥 line 😭

This was an amazingly insightful video. Thank you for it!

If you don't know about Harry's "Flow State" video please search for "Harry Mack Flow State" & it will pop up, I think you'll really enjoy the video. Harry is speaking to a German neurologist about the flow state & how to achieve it.

Hi hello 👋 One question: can I use this video into my first reaction compilations?

im happy you did this reaction.. well you just witnessed a LEGEND at work. ITS AMAZING ISNT IT.

This is great.. randomly found this video, and really enjoying it!
