What would've made Rio's verse harder for you guys is if you realized he was speaking to himself and reflecting. Learning to love himself

Rio was actually looking at himself in the mirror, checking in with self. It's actually his little sister so 🙏🏾rs up for Rio Loz! 💞 The last 20 seconds was an announcement for their merch drop BTW. 😉

Eric had so many bars with triple and quadruple meanings. Crazy. Rio's verse had the most emotional impact for me. The self-reflection was deep.

Check the arrangement of the song: 1st verse: Negative/Pessimistic/Dark 2nd: Positive/Hopeful 3rd: Dark/Sad 4th: Combo of both perspectives; starts positive, then negative, lastly positive. ... This song is about life and the ups and downs one goes through which evident with lyrics, but a story is also being told in where each verse falls....these guys are next level...

“Tellem I said it, I verbatim” such a good triple. 1. Verbatim 2. Verb bait them 3. Verb ate them

Jamal just can't help himself when he gets hold of the Mic.....he's so freaking good.

RIO DID A WICKED MATH SCHEME AND NO ONE CAUGHT IT.. fibonacci sequence--pure genius... Eric was all Bars... Taj was showing growth ..Ras was all 3rd Eye

They all went crazy as always, but Eric Jamal went totally nuts in this one.

Eric with a verse of the year candidate and Ras was pure genius.

Facts. He said it twice. I hope they read this comment and listen to Rio's verse again. It changes the perspective to know that Rio is the one whose sister is battling. My prayers to them for continued strength, peace and grace!

here's what chatGPT says about the fibonacci part from Rio's verse: CHATGPT: Sure, let’s dissect the part about Fibonacci in the song “AYO” by Coast Contra: The lyrics go: "They self-centered but missing heart, that’s the problem, shit. They spiraling out like Fibonacci. This shit fye/phi, that’s why the numbers don’t lie, G"1. Self-Centered but Missing Heart: This line could be a critique of individuals or artists who are self-absorbed but lack depth or emotional substance in their work. Spiraling out like Fibonacci: The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1 (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, …). It’s known for its spiral pattern when plotted graphically. This line could be a metaphor for how things are spiraling out of control, much like the exponential growth seen in the Fibonacci sequence. This Shit Fye/Phi: “Fye” is slang for “fire,” often used to describe something as cool or awesome. However, “phi” is also the Greek letter used to represent the golden ratio (approximately 1.618), which is closely related to the Fibonacci sequence. This could be a clever play on words. Numbers Don’t Lie: This is a common phrase used to emphasize the truth or undeniable facts, often used in the context of statistics or data. In the context of this song, it could be interpreted as their music’s authenticity and impact being undeniable, just like the mathematical truth of the Fibonacci sequence. Remember, song lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, and this is just one possible interpretation. The beauty of music is that it can resonate differently with everyone1.

That first verse shook me to my core. Fibonacci.. The sum of each number is equal to the two proceeding numbers. 0,1,1,2,3,5..

My man Rio's verse was him talking to himself in the mirror i really enjoyed that :)

Loved erics verse, arguably top 3 the hardest verses ive ever heard, and rios verse hit deep and really connected heavy. Prayers for his sister. Keep your head up Rio

Let’s get it… love these guys. Bringing REAL hip hop back

These 4 are a breath of fresh air..thank u Coast Contra..much needed for hip hop 💯👍🏽

Rio produced this beat and its lovely 😍😍 also its his own 14 year old sister that has cancer 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

The IV four line is just out of this world

Rio was talking to himself in the mirror and he made the beat and produced the video!!! Put some respect on Rio. Yall complained about the Spanish, so he didn’t speak Spanish and now yall still complaining.

Brilliant reaction. Catch every scheme they spit upon first listen which is toughhhh. Love Ras verse, incredibly original and resonates deeply but they all killed, hiphop can't die with these heads together. Peace boys, I'll see you for the next coast drop.

My fave breakdown channel by far. I was going insane how other guys missed Erics bars... you guys caught em... i appreciate that...

that last verse was golden.

Listened to this song within an hour or so of it dropping and instantly thought "I wonder what Ryan and George will get out of this." Is such an incredible song. Cheers, fellas.

I've been waiting for you guys to react to this. Thank you, Love from South Africa.

Been waiting for y’all to do this one. Peep their album fellas. Y’all are the first ones that caught the “table” reference, every other reactor thinks turntables.

21:01 Rio said "This sht PHI, that's why the numbers don't lie G" Phi is the Golden Ratio which is what the ratio between two consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches. Fibonacci sequence is the addition of the previous two numbers in the sequence starting with 1 and 1. Sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,… Sequence Ratios a_(n+1)/a_n: 1,2,1.5,1.667,1.6, 1.625,1.615,1.619,1.618 Golden Ratio: (1+sqrt(5))/2 ≈ 1.618 This ratio is commonly found in nature and there are spirals in nature that surprisingly fit this sequence. He's referencing something called the Golden Ratio (which is referred to as the divine proportion) so he's saying the beat and/or his lyricism is so perfect, the numbers can't lie.

I knew that hip hop holy ghost would hit y’all with this one

Eric gave us the bar heavy story telling lyrical side of hip-hop, Taj gave us the come up bragging side of hip-hop, Roi gave us the real life struggle side of hip-hop and Ras gave us the introspective thought provoking side of hip-hop

I love coast contra.. Rass Kass did well with his blood line .. these guys are taking west coast underground to another level… this reminds me of the wake up show artists in the 90s on steroids.. much love to coast.. the are destined for greatness

Great reaction 👍 it’s already one of my favorites from you guys. I think you guys make great content, thank you and keep it up👌

YESSSSSSSS I've been waiting for y'all to react to this 😌

Eric came out strong like Katt Williams for the beginning of this year

Would you PLEASE 🙏🏾 be so kind as to create a COAST CONTRA playlist? I really enjoy how you brother's react. You guys have a great chemistry and take on lyrics! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for getting to this.. Such a fire song..

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 😊

Best reaction and breakdown hands down thanks guys

Excited for the reaction! COAST!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION LOVIN IT

You fellaz have the reaction Vids I appreciate. I saw this Contra track when it dropped... And easily the best piece of musical & visual art I will see this year👏🏽🎇. I'm in my 40's and to hear this group flex their creative muscle is just satisfying & there's no platform where they will b fully appreciated, sadly, except non-Mainstream! Bravo to them

I am such a Coast Contra fan!!!!!! Most importantly I Love that they keep GOD FIRST!!!!!!💜💜💜💜

Yo guys - i dont think you quite got Ruo's verse: he wasn't talking about a friend of his, he was talking to himself in the mirror as he says at the start of the verse.

No one does it like y'all. Great breakdown.

Always love these Coast Contra reactions from you two, seeing you in your element is awesome. Typically only have enjoyed the freestyles from CC but this song goes hard! Eric's verse especially will stick with me for a very long time

I think Rio's verse was him talking to himself in the mirror. (Not his friend) I could be wrong though.

the most underated part of this is the visuals of it damn it looks so damn pretty

Thanks for your take on Ayo. Understand, appreciate and respect those lyrics even better. Grown up with ATCQ I’m so glad with Coast. Finally!

Worth the wait…appreciate the you two🔥🔥🔥

Lol my man said that was the best Eric spitted , I'll say that's the best I ever heard period 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That clear bar went even deeper, the reason the doctor yells clear is so every one eles steps back away from the metal table and dont get shocked!

The song goes further into their inner self with each verse getting more personal as it progresses.. it's about the most outer music struggle(Eric) then the actual experience/struggle lived of it (taj) then the personal/family struggle (Rio) then the inner personality struggle(taj)

@ 15:05 I still have yet to see anyone comment on this dope bar." In Germany I created craft and had to go to Work." he's talking about the innovators of electronic music Kraftwerk they also used turntables and looping to make beats back in 1970 . so he's saying he's an innovator / creator . amazing bar.

Amazing song! Taj paying homage to the German group Kraftwerk and their LP Autobahn! 🔥

Peace and love fam 🙏 amazing breakdown, much appreciated

eric jamal is every alien's favorite alien. 🔥

Btw rio was talking to himself if you didn’t notice

A third of the video on Eric Jamal, nuff said.

Best breakdown of Eric’s verse

Good Reaction Guys ❤.

IVE WAITED SO LONG

Eric is just DIFFERENT

Best breakdown of Eric’s verse I’ve heard. ❤

Heard this on Spotify and ran to watch yall catch this message & enjoy this !!!! So balanced...great song!

MY FAVORITE REACTIRS HANDS DOWN. The only one Ive been waiting on and couldnt get out my mind on when it’s releasing. Time to watch this 40 times…

Appreciate the reaction 🙏🏿🙌🏿

This is a mighty reach, but I'm a fan of pro wrestling. "We need an IV, it's on us four to keep her stable," could also be for The 4 Horsemen since horses live in stables.

Even tho Eric Jamal's verse was a lyrical masterpiece with medical scheme... its his delivery that makes it stand out... 👏 👏 👏 . WHAT AN EXCELLENT START TO 2024.

Eric Jamal was on a mission. How do you follow that?

They all was fire but as always EJ was out of this world..... that boy there is crazy wid it

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Dude that IV line was dope as hell, With the Roman numerals for four.

These guys are so dope. Rappers need to start getting these guys on some songs

The IV line flew over my head till you broke it down 🔥🔥🔥

Jamal got the master key

Group of bacteria is known as CULTURE 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

The simple one EVERYBODY missed is Taj's line, "in Germany, I catered CRAFTS and had to Work", is in reference to the German group, Kraftwerk. I understand why most reactors would miss the reference as Kraftwerks biggest hit in America (to my knowledge) was in 1977 with the song ,Trans Europe Express. Yes, I'm an "Old" Coast Contra and hip hop fan.

Shout out from South Africa

As long as Coast Contra and Mickey Diamond keep making music we can’t consider hip hop dead!

Love when you guys react to great hip hop. Sparks a deeper conversation about the things we all can relate to. You guys should react to their cosmic kev freestyle!

Eric might got top 5 verse of the 21st century. Ts was perfectly crafted

Eric was definitely all bars, but Ras gave this life. His conscious battle and the Quotables!!!! "The Second Coming isevery second coming, living in the presences" "All my life I had to fight (color purple) the sight was right where god could see." These are lines that should be cataloged for generations to find and gain insight from.

Ay that Proklaim track is hard.

Rio's verse was about himself. He starts the verse saying looking in the mirror and ends it with the same line

Ultrasound Is The Same As a Lil Baby. Eric Was Also Talking About The Rapper Lil Baby. Everyone Sounding Like Lil Baby 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rio spazzed 🔥 also produced the beat.

Eric Jamal came out swinging on this track. Loved y'all breakdown of it. My man said, "We need an IV, it's on us 4 to keep her stable". Which Is a Fire line. Of course the hospital scheme with IV, but "IV" is the Roman numeral for 4 and he came right behind that and said it's on us 4..... FIRE!!!

Didn't catch the Table bar.... Now that's DEEP!

Eric’s verse should go down in history as one of the greatest verse, so many metaphors punchlines with a serious hip hop message

Eric’s “have patience” like a hospital patient as well.

Yall didnt catch how he is sayin they're latest favorite they're imitating is lil baby

Thee New Native Tongues. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Coast contra so damn cole

React to Locksmith new Freestyle on Sways Universe 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Get your mind and ears ready to break down doubles. Very thought provoking. True hip-hop!!

You guys NEED to check out their Freestyle on Cosmic Kev!!!

Erics verse is one of the best ever. I had to say it.

I know you guys get a lot of request for reviewing videos but I’m shocked you guys haven’t reviewed any of Anoyds music he’s bar heavy but this video was fire. I only say this because I respect you guys opinion. ✌🏽❤️

There’s also 4 stages of cancer and there is 4 of them

RAZ's voice switch to show the higher and lower selves 🔥🔥🔥

SWAY IN THE MORNING: *LOCKSMITH FREESTYLE NEXT* 🔥

Its criminal yall haven't done that Cosmic Kev freestyle. Js.

The scrubs scheme is actually a triple. its doctor scrubs, ignorant rappers, and spots that you have to scrub. These people pushing drugs on the youth are not only ignorant rappers, but also a stain on the culture that they have to scrub out with mask and gloves. just wild
