It kinda sucks to see Rio be looked over in a sense because of the spanish verses. It's a whole CULTURE behind the words that often gets lost in translation. He may not talk about topics on a grand scheme like the rest, but his focus on individual mentality is just as important as the focus on social contexts. His verse was fire and I especially appreciated his "sana sana colito de rana" scheme as that was a saying that my grandmother often told us when we got hurt.
Yeah.. also why someone gotta be better then someone ? They all equal to they style.. well that’s how I look at it .. Eric Jamal can’t do what the Spanish boul do …. Spanish boul can’t do what Eric jamal do.. They all equal and great in they own style … Thats why they called COAST contra.. Eric from east coast… twins from west… Spanish boul from the islands … It’s like… idk barely anyone rapping Spanish is fucking wit him 💯 Just like barely anybody on the East fucking wit Eric They taking over coast💯😭Just how I look at it everybody got they pov doe just hate the competition when they brothers inna group
Exactly, I played this for my bro, he is from Honduras. And the verse immediately hit him differently. Rio raps for a whole other continent while maintaining bars for the rest of us. Plus I haven't heard many hit a cadence like that in their native tongue. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Not gonna lie. I came for that Eric Jamal and got blown away by Ras and Taj, even Rio's was fire! They should change their name to Allstate because Hip Hop's in good hands!

Rio is my favorite because he brings the pain and message. He’s definitely the one that’s overlooked in the group but if you really listen to his message it’ll hit just as hard as the crazy double and triples the rest are putting out. RIOs got crazy doubles and triples too but he focuses more on the message which I appreciate and makes very relatable.

No weak links in this group. They are a team Stevie. Teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.
Man, Rio needs his flowers too. He's always speaking life! Eric is talking about the industry, Ras and Taj are talking about their journey and how they're rolling now, but Rio is straight up talking life is spanish THEN switching up completely, flow, language, attitude, energy... Rio Loz is on the Mount with them.
I know people compare each member each time and many I not most think Rio is the so called "weak" link. Rio is the glue, his ability is as unique as the others and until now if you don't speak Spanish we only experience him through how he flows but the level of skill it takes to flip back and forth on beat and flow from another language is rash for HIM but we underestimate how difficult that is to do. The group wouldn't be the same without him.
Ngl rio didn’t really slide on this one. But he is the more poetic dude. Like a South American big krit with just as good bars. It’s all good. They all have had GREAT verses and mid (comparatively. Compared to only themselves cause nobody out right now touching not 1 of the four Gentlemen)
He's growing on me. I think its just the hang up of not knowing what he was saying, but now they're translating it, and you can feel what he's saying. He's tough.
They are each extremely TALENTED. BRINGING A UNIQUE AND MUCH NEEDED SOUND. AS A GROUP THEY ARE A FORCE!! UNITED. THEY ARE. LET'S PROTECT THIS. Comparison brings Envy. Compliments brings this United Force. I freaking love this
Rio needs to get his just due here, he popped off just like the rest of them. Especially that 'over' scheme. He might not have the quintuple-entendres like the other dudes, but he's the dude that's rooted and gives you that stuff that you can actually attach to. He's a key component for sure! :) Great reaction!
Saw them do their very first headlining show in Brooklyn. First time for me in new York too, they played a room of maybe 150 people. Love seein them blow up more, real hip hop 🍻

That was 🔥 In that pie scheme, Eric said: when we all 4 got 1-4... Thats a double... They all got a slice of the pie AND a nod to The Musketeers...ALL FOR 1 AND 1 FOR ALL
Let me tell you I love Eric Jamal's energy and styles especially his Turntable scheme and cadence made me go nuts! That being said I've always said RAS in the one to watch.. his lyricism and style switches are nearly perfect this guy meditates for sure. Taj is a true poet.
If you take away your American biases and read what Rio is saying you'd realise how extremely dope he is. It's sad how people discard him based on laziness.
@@haff31 Even if something is basic, in a different language is a whole game. I can write Poetry in spanish like nobodies business and do the same in english, but to combine both in a single piece of work, thats the hard part and Rio does flawlessly. Now, if you dont like him for one reason or another cuz you dont understand him or like complex entendres, thats fine since there are other 3 rappers who will do it but when it comes to the grit and hard message with a voice, he is the guy for it and thats why the groups works so well and even themselves say it for people like you at the end of Taj verse.
His verses are always my favorite honestly. But that’s just cause I’m bilingual. What he can do and the way he does it on the level he does it at is crazy.
A freestyle w Harry Mack would be REVOLUTIONARY. Specially since youtube views are becoming more relevant than selling records, because of the reach yt has.
In math, "pi" pronounced same as Pie represented is approximately equal to 3.14 and represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, meaning no matter the size of the circle, this ratio will always be the same value of pi.
Rio Loz has a uniqueness my guy, he is the bass; he is the hunger, dude's voice is powerful man and when he rhymes in Spanish is fire, always fire... try to get this level of mastery at rapping in two languages, he is insane bro. Just watch Rio Loz in the red bull freestyle I think he is the best of the group in that one

Eric sounds incredibly original and his own cadence but I hear so many influences there. I thought the same thing Taj was channeling Kendrick. Rio sounded like Method Man when he was speaking English. Raz reminded me a lot of Big Sean at parts but also very unique. That's pretty high praise to give though.... these guys are insanely talented. I wouldn't be surprised if they ghost write for rappers. They deserve their own shine I'm not sure if they want to make records though but they could totally tour with this act for real hip hop heads and make a good living.
There's not a weak link in that group. Rio speaks for the slums, immigrants and shows all of his culture in his verses. I can appreciate things get lost in translation but every time Rio spits he is not speaking Spanish as a Gimmick he is literally speaking about half of himself in his native tongue. I agree with you that Eric is the best he is for sure the most well-rounded Ras and Taj are pocket masters and have by far the most introspective bars. Each of these boys are quality rappers but together? Untouchable by Modern Rappers without question!
It's crazy, I thought you were gon pick up EVERY bar. You normally do. But you DID pick out some stuff that I hadn't even thought about before. But agreed man. This might be their best one, but I still got "Never" ahead of this slightly. They threw the world a curveball on this one.
I think CC mapped it out the order they rap as a deterrent to what they usually do & what fans expected f/ their previous vids. Regardless, they obtained their goal: to keep everyone engaged to every individual in that group.
The 1st video I seen of them I thought it was a podcast till I clicked on then I was like this sht is crazy this shows how much my gen does care bout lyrics
I spammed Stevie for a few weeks to check out the Red Bull freestyle. What was great about that was that, not only was the rapping at a high level…the performance was epic. It’s was the 1st of the Red Bull series and none of the other artists have come close to that.

No cap as a viewer of the channel give your take. Pause as many times as you want. Most viewers saw the original video. We tryna see your reaction of how dope this is.
It’s definitely a play on words with the “A Tribe called quest” and “Leaders of the new school” reference. That track they are freestyling on is from Tribe called Quest song “Breath and Stop”

Rio is definitely not a weak link 😂 Rio is the nitty gritty of the group that gives you the real life bars that the others don’t. Sure the others also give you positive messages but no where close to how Rio gives it. He definitely keeps the group the most grounded and not letting things get to their heads. Like Ras verse literally said how they started to become disobedient to their true selves.
Fax Rio stays on point. You can do the complex bars and all that but stays on the message and make sure it gets to us. On Cosmic Kev everyone was spazzin but Rio kept his cool and reminded everyone abt the work that went into his success and what’s its done for him. And he spat some political stuff while everyone else was talking abt top five’s and the current state of rap which is important but it shows how much he cares for the people and the future our lives. They all do but Rio stays on that topic.
He's not a weak link per se but he's not on the other 3's level. Sure he's got the grit and the voice but his wordplay, lyricism and complexity of bars involving deep societal/political/spiritual issues the other 3 tackle are not on par and that's facts.
@@dannybo1472 I would bet my life that Rio could bend wordplay the same way the other 3 do and in 2 languages no less. If you have been paying attention at all to Rio his messages are about you yourself and self-reflection. That is his style and it doesn't need to done in doubles and triples to be good. E is a story teller in his styles that's literally why can you imagine what he is doing. Ras has disgusting flow changes and Tag by far has the smoothest bar flows and wordplay. The other 3 don't have grit like Rio and by your logic they aren't as talented as Rio in rapping in way to keep people interested without the need for doubles and triples to in every rap he writes or freestyles. It's like saying the other 3 depend on bar complexity or they can't compete. Which is utter nonsese.

Shout out to Underachievers also, you should breakdown some of their work...i fuk with them too, had me lyrically celibate to the mainstream for most of 2019! Lol. Good content man, keep shining
These guy can rap rap they rap there asses off bro with great lyricism, cadence and flows 🔥. When Eric said truth or dare he schemed the truth and finished with “throne over dare” they different!!!!
That Michael Jordan highlight reference was crazy because every side of Michael Jordan he looks good defense offense playmaking whatever but at the same time when he does a layup he switches Midway through his layup and doesn't know what side he wants to finish on his left or his right... Crazy
Dumbo is in New York that I believe is upper-class. So it seems like it's a jcole bar where even though they are up there, they still stay humbled. But although they are humble they still are going to get a piece of that pie because they are one fourth of that pie that creates a endless equation? Am I stretching?

DUMBO is a NY reference. Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It's a location you'll see a lot in Instagram posts and films.

I'm pretty sure Dumbo is a more ritzy part of New York, but I think it's actually also a reference to Dumbo in the way that they started doing the best when they just did what came naturally, instead of being used and swayed by those who didn't have their best interests at heart. They really flew high through their own ability. The third part is for sure just him calling people dumb and/or easy to manipulate.

They all will be. After their freestyles blew up over a year ago a lot of people said, Eric would be huge if he goes solo, if they get rid of Rio they would be huge,... People don't get it. They are different. They lived together in a small apartment. They make it together or they fail together. Taj even raps about it: "They wanna see divide". Just look how they cheer for each other while rapping. Nearly every freestyle has multiple remarks about rappers selling out. Let's see how far they go this way.
@staceystasii6904 That's not how the market works. They don't get to decide who receives more popularity and fame. In stand by my opinion, Eric will blow up first.

Facts, word play with substance, different they’re here.
That was 🔥
In that pie scheme, Eric said: when we all 4 got 1-4...
Thats a double...
They all got a slice of the pie AND a nod to The Musketeers...ALL FOR 1 AND 1 FOR ALL
Jesus that man started it and when he hit the DJ part, OMG the skills that man has takes rap to another level.

Let me tell you I love Eric Jamal's energy and styles especially his Turntable scheme and cadence made me go nuts! That being said I've always said RAS in the one to watch.. his lyricism and style switches are nearly perfect this guy meditates for sure. Taj is a true poet.
If you take away your American biases and read what Rio is saying you'd realise how extremely dope he is. It's sad how people discard him based on laziness.
Lmaooo guy it translated what he said and 90% of what he said in Spanish was basic. Jesus Christ. He had one decent scheme in the entire verse.
@@haff31watch Knox Hill's reaction
@@haff31 Even if something is basic, in a different language is a whole game. I can write Poetry in spanish like nobodies business and do the same in english, but to combine both in a single piece of work, thats the hard part and Rio does flawlessly.
Now, if you dont like him for one reason or another cuz you dont understand him or like complex entendres, thats fine since there are other 3 rappers who will do it but when it comes to the grit and hard message with a voice, he is the guy for it and thats why the groups works so well and even themselves say it for people like you at the end of Taj verse.
@@haff31that's not true he had an Over scheme and sana sana is a Spanish saying about getting up. All of them are talking about God
His verses are always my favorite honestly. But that’s just cause I’m bilingual. What he can do and the way he does it on the level he does it at is crazy.
A freestyle w Harry Mack would be REVOLUTIONARY.
Specially since youtube views are becoming more relevant than selling records, because of the reach yt has.
They're not freestyling tho
In math, "pi" pronounced same as Pie represented is approximately equal to 3.14 and represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, meaning no matter the size of the circle, this ratio will always be the same value of pi.
Rio Loz has a uniqueness my guy, he is the bass; he is the hunger, dude's voice is powerful man and when he rhymes in Spanish is fire, always fire... try to get this level of mastery at rapping in two languages, he is insane bro. Just watch Rio Loz in the red bull freestyle I think he is the best of the group in that one
I believe this as well. That red bull verse was crazy.
im glad u said hunger bc he talks about empty plates growling gut, etc
Thanks for this Stevie ... your reaction made me realize more what beautiful artwork this freestyle is

Heard this so many times AND I'm still catching on bars to this day. Just realizes thrown over "dare"
Eric sounds incredibly original and his own cadence but I hear so many influences there. I thought the same thing Taj was channeling Kendrick. Rio sounded like Method Man when he was speaking English. Raz reminded me a lot of Big Sean at parts but also very unique. That's pretty high praise to give though.... these guys are insanely talented. I wouldn't be surprised if they ghost write for rappers. They deserve their own shine I'm not sure if they want to make records though but they could totally tour with this act for real hip hop heads and make a good living.
Slaughter house respect...I'm officially a follower
I love that you consistently spotlight these cats…
The current state of hip hop desperately needs Coast rt now!!
The real thrown/throne over there!!! 😳💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's not a weak link in that group. Rio speaks for the slums, immigrants and shows all of his culture in his verses. I can appreciate things get lost in translation but every time Rio spits he is not speaking Spanish as a Gimmick he is literally speaking about half of himself in his native tongue. I agree with you that Eric is the best he is for sure the most well-rounded Ras and Taj are pocket masters and have by far the most introspective bars. Each of these boys are quality rappers but together? Untouchable by Modern Rappers without question!
Speak!
🔥❤️ they all went hard on this
FINALLY, glad someone picked up on Ras having K Dot energy. Rios gave me Busta vibes second verse. Taj also snapped and we all know EJ is a monster

It's crazy, I thought you were gon pick up EVERY bar. You normally do. But you DID pick out some stuff that I hadn't even thought about before. But agreed man. This might be their best one, but I still got "Never" ahead of this slightly. They threw the world a curveball on this one.
They fire... when dude started speaking Spanish I blew my lid.
Stevie wow 735 000 😅
I remember when you had 25 000 sub !!! Keep it up man it s beautiful to see
Peace
bruh, Rio dope af. he sitting you down on Sunday and telling stories. listening to him reminds me of Notch, switching up multiple languages.
I think CC mapped it out the order they rap as a deterrent to what they usually do & what fans expected f/ their previous vids. Regardless, they obtained their goal: to keep everyone engaged to every individual in that group.
The 1st video I seen of them I thought it was a podcast till I clicked on then I was like this sht is crazy this shows how much my gen does care bout lyrics
DUMBO - Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass; it’s a neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Coast are incredible! Their Redbull freestyle they did is immense!!! I get Wu Tang/Pharcyde vibes from them!
I spammed Stevie for a few weeks to check out the Red Bull freestyle. What was great about that was that, not only was the rapping at a high level…the performance was epic. It’s was the 1st of the Red Bull series and none of the other artists have come close to that.
@@MyWORDisntGospel💯 agree! That freestyle was crazy, all 4 of them came with it! I loved Eric and Taj's verses on that, absolute 🔥

I like the style switch-ups. Very creative.
Rio is definitely not a weak link 😂 Rio is the nitty gritty of the group that gives you the real life bars that the others don’t. Sure the others also give you positive messages but no where close to how Rio gives it.
He definitely keeps the group the most grounded and not letting things get to their heads. Like Ras verse literally said how they started to become disobedient to their true selves.
Fax Rio stays on point. You can do the complex bars and all that but stays on the message and make sure it gets to us.
On Cosmic Kev everyone was spazzin but Rio kept his cool and reminded everyone abt the work that went into his success and what’s its done for him. And he spat some political stuff while everyone else was talking abt top five’s and the current state of rap which is important but it shows how much he cares for the people and the future our lives. They all do but Rio stays on that topic.
He's not a weak link per se but he's not on the other 3's level. Sure he's got the grit and the voice but his wordplay, lyricism and complexity of bars involving deep societal/political/spiritual issues the other 3 tackle are not on par and that's facts.
@@dannybo1472 I would bet my life that Rio could bend wordplay the same way the other 3 do and in 2 languages no less. If you have been paying attention at all to Rio his messages are about you yourself and self-reflection. That is his style and it doesn't need to done in doubles and triples to be good. E is a story teller in his styles that's literally why can you imagine what he is doing. Ras has disgusting flow changes and Tag by far has the smoothest bar flows and wordplay.
The other 3 don't have grit like Rio and by your logic they aren't as talented as Rio in rapping in way to keep people interested without the need for doubles and triples to in every rap he writes or freestyles.
It's like saying the other 3 depend on bar complexity or they can't compete. Which is utter nonsese.
Nobody reading all that
Thank God .... Hip-hop and rapping did not evolve to mumble rapping. Good seeds are coming up... amazing stuff.
It's amazing how they sound old-skool and modern at the same time while also having some of the best word play every made

These guy can rap rap they rap there asses off bro with great lyricism, cadence and flows 🔥. When Eric said truth or dare he schemed the truth and finished with “throne over dare” they different!!!!
my god bro this went so fucking crazy... i legit got goose bumps
That Michael Jordan highlight reference was crazy because every side of Michael Jordan he looks good defense offense playmaking whatever but at the same time when he does a layup he switches Midway through his layup and doesn't know what side he wants to finish on his left or his right... Crazy

The tribe reference was because breathe and stop was made by q-tip who was also a member of tribe called quest
Dumbo is in New York that I believe is upper-class. So it seems like it's a jcole bar where even though they are up there, they still stay humbled. But although they are humble they still are going to get a piece of that pie because they are one fourth of that pie that creates a endless equation? Am I stretching?
Nah u got it :)
There are no stretches in hip hop
You mentioned he had Kendrick vibes and I got Andre 3000 vibes myself , Wow this is mind blowing when Im commenting as it goes because its so good all the way through.

I'm pretty sure Dumbo is a more ritzy part of New York, but I think it's actually also a reference to Dumbo in the way that they started doing the best when they just did what came naturally, instead of being used and swayed by those who didn't have their best interests at heart. They really flew high through their own ability. The third part is for sure just him calling people dumb and/or easy to manipulate.
They are killing it! I'm happy you covered them! I believe Eric Jamal will be huge in the next few years.

They all will be. After their freestyles blew up over a year ago a lot of people said, Eric would be huge if he goes solo, if they get rid of Rio they would be huge,... People don't get it. They are different. They lived together in a small apartment. They make it together or they fail together. Taj even raps about it: "They wanna see divide". Just look how they cheer for each other while rapping. Nearly every freestyle has multiple remarks about rappers selling out. Let's see how far they go this way.
@@philippculture489 I want to see everyone blow up, I just believe Eric will be first, he's the full package.
In this song he literally saying he staying with the group cause all of them are the whole pie
@staceystasii6904 That's not how the market works. They don't get to decide who receives more popularity and fame. In stand by my opinion, Eric will blow up first.
