In the valley between good and bad that Harley wanders through there, her seriousness causes me such painful vicarious embarrassment that I think about emigrating to a country without electricity. I'm completely unsure how to feel about this, but I feel a competition between Harley and the Acclaimed that eats away at any possible storyline.

So was it actually her rapping?

I assume the deal here is that she lip synced it and it was actually someone else rapping. That will get exposed somehow and hijinks ensue.

Harley is close to breaking into my AEW top 5. Not even joking.

There is truly nothing Harley Cameron cannot do She has helped take QTV from "Trying to find itself" to "Actually can't wait to see the act every week" for me. Adding Johnny and making her a focus while Hobbs left the group were all very good ideas. Too bad it still has goobers like Solow and QT. Solo is entertaining in the segments and QT Marshall has always been solid in ring and has good chemistry with Johnny TV So... not worried about that

When I heard Cameron rapping so fast. I thought "looks like Busta Rhymes got some competition". The whole thing overall made its job perfectly fine.

Normally channel changing heat for me, that was a shockingly well done video. I was surprised at how well it was also. I was going into it thinking, "Oh man, this is gonna be cringe."

Doing cliché "super impressive fast rap" was the perfect heel maneuver

I'm going to have to listen to it again. She was actually pretty good in so far as my low expectations of her being able to keep a rhythm and have some flow, though I wonder if the Busta-style speed rap was actual words or if Harley was faking it until she made it lol.
She's already a better Australian rapper than Iggy Azalea, though.

Surely the whole point was how fake and edited it was? I'm suprised so many people saw that overly produced video and thought she could rap
Or maybe I'm just old and modern rap/music in general is so produced and autotuned now people have stopped caring or realising how fake it all is lol
That said I enjoyed it and her, but I still think it was supposed to be overly phoney, but I've found her and the whole of QTV entertaining since the first skit

Harley is close to breaking into my AEW top 5. Not even joking. For real; she's shot up my personal charts in a way that can only be described as meteoric. Love when wrestling capitalises on something; in this case Harley's impromptu rap at the Acclaimed a few weeks back.

If she really wants to impress me, drop some smooth lyrics over Don Callis' theme!!

Her double-time has the flow of Brian Griffin rapping "Peanut Butter Jelly Time". Not exactly Busta Rhymes.

I think it was even a bit obvious at the very end. That was actually Harley though, she did that whole "Fill em with the venom" on a live mic promo a few weeks ago Now it might've been dubbed over in post to make it sound cleaner, or just to make Harley look goofier in kayfabe, but it wasn't someone else rapping, Harley can actually do that.

I would have liked it more if she had been genuinely terrible at it, and also if I could have understood a goddamn word she was saying. It felt very weird for her to go from airhead to rap god. Based on what we've seen so far, it should have looked closer to this rap video than what we got: Wild seeing this example because this woman was exactly the kind of shit I was expecting. Like this specific example. What we got instead is weird to me because it's not the kind of comically bad that everyone can tell is awful but it's also not like amazing rap either so it's just in this middle ground of existing without a fully clear purpose.
