Out working the reaper is an insane line with 3 meanings. He is working harder than the reaper who is always working, he is also staying ahead of the reaper/death, AND he is working the reaper which was used for harvesting which could mean he is reaping the benefits of his hard work. Might be a stretch but I like it!!
I definitely loved all the verses as usual. I think Ras' verse spoke to me most because of him speaking from the judicial system paired with death, and then the record label scheme. It's almost as though he outlined the life of the average rapper's career, but from the outside influences perspective. Genius. Kudos to y'all for being one of the the few reactors to give them shine.
Aside the jaws clench referencing the drug sniff reaction and fishing analogy. The literal reaction when you hear "THAT BAR" makes the stank face where sometimes you literally clench your jaws. Eric is an insane guy, the twins and Rio also have so many diabolical sick bars with multiple entendres.
Think outside of the "Box" if not they'll "Office" Its the start of a movie scheme "Box Office" being that Leonardo DeCaprio starred both movies Inception and The Departed. Has the highest "box office" sales back to back
They killed this. This "should" make every person in hip hop raise their game up. Every one of these brothers talked. You're right, I've watched different reactors and I finally caught it once I watched you reaction to it. A lot of people didn't catch Eric Jamal when he pulled up and said I'm Darwin. He was acting like he had a mask on and then pulled it back down! The visual and adlibs on this track......top tier!
Yay! I was waiting for your reaction. I heard this (and of them) for the 1st time yesterday (I'm a British Gen-Xer & casual hiphop fan). Since then, I've watched at least 12 different reactions! You never disappoint. Love from the UK 💜🇬🇧 -x-
I hope you are checking out there other freestyles. They have many on UA-cam. Everything the drop is 🔥🔥 I'm the same Gen x casual hip hop listener. For your hip hop rap side you might like Aesop Rock too. Try Living curfew .
I was sooooo waiting on this reaction! Coast Contra with the spoken word cypher this was beautifully done! Had to watch it multiple times especially with Ras when I realize he was speaking from the POV of death it was insane! But I loved every minute of it I'm seriously hoping we get more from them this year we need it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Taj - i am groot Ej - iron man/man of steel... dicaprio Rio - titanic.... outworking the reaper Ras - death perspective Im sure theres more examples from each of hand offs
When he said “fresh Prince like Carlton”, he was also saying fresh prints tying back to the the check the evidence line as he was coming out the mud, that line was smooth
It took me a good few listens to catch everything and it is beyond just a bar. They have messages in there that the people need to hear. Coast never disappoints! At the end of the video I see yall were just like me speechless trying to figure out like what did RAS just say...lol.
The BiLingual rhyme scheme 21:38 🤯 “So! -Listen to the flow that comes from the forest. -Next to the River of black villages where the trees have voices.” ¡Entoces! Eschucha el flow que viene desde el bosque. Al lado del Río de pueblos negros donde los árboles tienen voces.
The third one you were looking for in the Dumbledore line is enchant. He says, "Make em chant" which is a play on enchant or enchantment. Plays into the magic before and the spell afterwards. Great reaction on this dense track.
The best break down of this track by far. Not even close. Y’all are so intricate without sounding autistic. Smooth and thorough. Been with yall since yall were in the car. Good work guys. ❤
idk if you guys take suggestions, but there was a eminem leak a few days ago and one of his songs was pretty wild. "Smack you" id love to see a reaction to it
ooohh the first talked about the streets "what if im strapped for cash too", the second linked the streets with movies, "philly from the lowest lanes of darkness, the third linked movies with death, "my life like a movie", the fourth linked the Death back to the streets "i trust you at some point, at gunpoint, to blast em" the crazy part is there's more than one instance where they link like this. by far the greatest poets alive rn bro. hands down.
The few first bars Ras was speaking on how rappers tell themselves. He says they're behind bars with no cipher. A cipher is like a code to break any codes with these new rappers bars because they just straight up tell on themselves.
That whole EJ water scheme was crazy. Lines makes jaws clench, reeling lines that pull a fish. Also he mentions Darwin and evolution after that tying it in since evolution begins with fish and water
I need to tap into my spiritual a bit more. Just a few weeks ago I was saying how we need to get back to poetry, spoken wrote and the roots of hip hop, now here they come.
this was sick. made me think i'd love to see u tap into some battle rap. react to a pat stay video if y'all havent before. pat vs head ice is an all time classic. crazy bars and funny as hell
Might be a reach, but "Our bonds so" sounded like "Alfonso" coming off the back of the "Fresh Prince/prints like Carlton" line. Edit: And it just hit me, from Iron "Man", into "Steel", into Superman "The Man of Steel"
Coast Contra was drawing a picture of reality and truth! The ups and downs, the good and the bad! My question is that this has been going since the enslavers came over here! My question to my people is when are we going to Unite and look out for the best interest of us as Black people! United we should stand but divided we have been falling! Let's Unite Black people and start to love, support and take care of our people🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I know he said he was death but most the time I was picturing it being from The perspective of prisons, splitting families apart, in your home (house arrest), in your mayor, governed and president (government officials that control the industrial prison complex), "I'm the plug to the electric chair" (it being plugged into the wall of the prison itself) that's how it was all coming together for me, just INSANE!
When this spoken word dropped, I ran to your channel and was so disappointed I had to keep waiting and watching other reactors first. But you guys always make it worth the wait! To me, this is their best work because it shows how elevated their talent is, that I can be captivated by their rhythm, flow, cadence , performance, lyricism, schemes, and depth of message . . . without a beat behind it. To me, they have been always trying to get us to see that its about their MESSAGE. And the central theme of all their messages is that the corporations are killing black culture---physically, mentally, morally and spiritually-- IN FRONT OF OUR FACES AND WITH OUR PERMISSION, by purchasing the souls of anyone hungry for easy money and fame, whether or not they have any genuine talent, into their puppeteered influencers of destruction. Ras' act resonated the most with me because I believe it is the summation of what Coast continues to preach to those with ears to hear. Listen to lyrics of those at the top of the chart! If its men, then it killing and drugs. Women, its about the wetness or color of their private parts. The music industry CEOs hate us! When the machine is done gaining the souls of the masses that these industry puppets have influenced to embrace every type of perversion, they then throw the purchased artist away and the grim reaper finishes them off. As talented as they are, Coast will never be as big as those willing to sell out the culture to their own eventual destruction. So, maybe "making it big" should no longer be the measuring stick of true riches and success.
18:50 Charles Darwin bars?! He’s the guy who came up with the theory of evolution. “Nice to meet you I’m darwin. The evolution of hip hop is here regardless”
VibeVilla!!! 👊🏾🔥🔥🔥
I knew you all thanks to this channel, you guys are DIFFERENT 🔥🔥🔥
Coast!!🫡
I was impatiently waiting for this reaction . Too tough!
Same!
I was started to get a lil frustrated lmaoo
Same
Bro if you rewatch Ras’ verse from the POV of DEATH?!?!
Every dam line hits DIFFERENT 🔥
My fav MC in hip hop right now!
the first part is hes the perspective of the prison, then from the perspective of death, then from the perspective of evil record labels.
@@williamteadait’s all death
I need Ras to break this down himself line for line
❄️🤍❄️🤍From the point of death, AS WELL AS the industry!💯🤍❄️🤍❄️
25:31 "Seen the future without a palm reader, and didn't need a hand. Sometimes you don't need no help, you just need to be a man." (amen needs both hands).
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH👹‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
And sometimes you just need a prayer 🙏🏾 THEY RAPPING
Missed that. Nice.
Coast contra never disappoints! Monster bars have been dropped in every damn track! 💥🫡
THEY BACK! Nothing official but we maaay be gettin a Coast × Mick Jenkins collab this year. Based on a studio tweet 👀

"Spell it out" like Dumbledore as in "to cast spells against" like fighting with magic
and [enchant - 'em chant] as well..

Eric is an insane guy, the twins and Rio also have so many diabolical sick bars with multiple entendres.
Also Jaws the movie. Jaws was a killer great white shark.
Think outside of the "Box" if not they'll "Office"
Its the start of a movie scheme "Box Office" being that Leonardo DeCaprio starred both movies Inception and The Departed. Has the highest "box office" sales back to back
Love yall's ability to see through the words and understand the concepts.

This is hip hop before rap!!-Rio Loz 🎤🎤
Yay! I was waiting for your reaction.

@mousepolice55 Yes, I plan to... I'm still watching reactions! Thanks for the recommendation. Love from the UK 💜 🇬🇧 -x-
31:43 - That ending segment was actually disturbing to me, as it was meant to be, and that doesn't happen often.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY I've been waiting and waiting for Y'all's Reaction to this so thanks. Y'all So Real For This.
I was sooooo waiting on this reaction! Coast Contra with the spoken word cypher this was beautifully done!

But I loved every minute of it I'm seriously hoping we get more from them this year we need it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
On my first listen, when I found out ras was talking from the perspective of death I almost had a heart attack lmao
Taj - i am groot
Ej - iron man/man of steel... dicaprio
Rio - titanic.... outworking the reaper
Ras - death perspective
Im sure theres more examples from each of hand offs
🧠 blacked out
yup. theres the streets leading to movies, movies o death, then death back to the streets
West up and running this 💩with the addition of Philly ,CC🔥🔥🔥
When he said “fresh Prince like Carlton”, he was also saying fresh prints tying back to the the check the evidence line as he was coming out the mud, that line was smooth
oooooooooooooooooooo i been waiting for this
I was waiting for this one!!
It took me a good few listens to catch everything and it is beyond just a bar. They have messages in there that the people need to hear. Coast never disappoints! At the end of the video I see yall were just like me speechless trying to figure out like what did RAS just say...lol.
Yessssssss, thanks guys! More Mac Miller in the future?
On the way!

Appreciate this💪🏾💯

❄️🤍❄️🤍I love Coast Contra!! I'm SO glad you two are reacting to this. It's SO MANY hidden bars. You guys broke it down to a science.🫵🏾💯🤍❄️🤍🕊️
The best break down of this track by far. Not even close. Y’all are so intricate without sounding autistic. Smooth and thorough. Been with yall since yall were in the car. Good work guys. ❤
Excited to watch yall work
After the Carlton line, Eric said “Our bonds so…”, which sounds like Alphonso, the actor’s first name. That might be a reach though
The best thing going on in hip hop right here! Coast!
Yeeeer!!! This what we all been waitin for...
That last act was brilliant. Gave me the same vibes as Orlando Jones speech as Mr. Nancy from American Gods.
These guys are so AMAZING. Their message(s) are so deep and intricate. Hope to hear more from COAST CONTRA. Bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
❄️🤍❄️🤍Yes! I was waiting fuh y’all’s reaction!🙋🏾♀️💯🫵🏾🤍❄️🤍❄️
I can fw y’all , y’all catch most to all the bars 👌🏾💯
idk if you guys take suggestions, but there was a eminem leak a few days ago and one of his songs was pretty wild. "Smack you" id love to see a reaction to it
There are so many artists I'd like to see them collab with: Black Thought, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Kendrick Lamar,...
ooohh the first talked about the streets "what if im strapped for cash too", the second linked the streets with movies, "philly from the lowest lanes of darkness, the third linked movies with death, "my life like a movie", the fourth linked the Death back to the streets "i trust you at some point, at gunpoint, to blast em" the crazy part is there's more than one instance where they link like this. by far the greatest poets alive rn bro. hands down.

I'm a new fan of Coast Contra!! They are the essence and what hip hop was meant to be.
Great reaction!!!!!
This was definitely Art at it’s finest!
Super Active!
Exactly the brodies I was waiting for, for the reaction 🔥
10/10 reaction! I didn't even catch the inception bar with Leonardo DeCaprio lol! Coast is a different breed and so underrated sheeesh🥶
no one else can do this pure talent. shit could be put on stage good review fam!
The only reaction you really need. 😊
I always learn from you two🔥🔥🔥
Yall probably the fastest to catch on to the death perspective that I’ve seen
And those lines made our jaws clinch
This is the back bone of hip-hop. Spoken word is my art
That whole EJ water scheme was crazy. Lines makes jaws clench, reeling lines that pull a fish. Also he mentions Darwin and evolution after that tying it in since evolution begins with fish and water
I need to tap into my spiritual a bit more. Just a few weeks ago I was saying how we need to get back to poetry, spoken wrote and the roots of hip hop, now here they come.
Peace Love Salute Vibevilla..This is like theatrical spoken words poetry so to speak..But overall this is brilliant
Would love to see a battle for the west. Coast Vs TDE.
this was sick. made me think i'd love to see u tap into some battle rap. react to a pat stay video if y'all havent before. pat vs head ice is an all time classic. crazy bars and funny as hell
Might be a reach, but "Our bonds so" sounded like "Alfonso" coming off the back of the "Fresh Prince/prints like Carlton" line.
Edit: And it just hit me, from Iron "Man", into "Steel", into Superman "The Man of Steel"
Damn bros bout time lol Taj said is right “how long has it been?!”
Coast Contra was drawing a picture of reality and truth! The ups and downs, the good and the bad! My question is that this has been going since the enslavers came over here!

Rios 9 month bar is even harder when you realize they released this on their offical page nine months after the last post
You can't debate ( da bait ) when y'all bit the same styles into the lets reel them in is crazy
I know he said he was death but most the time I was picturing it being from
The perspective of prisons, splitting families apart, in your home (house arrest), in your mayor, governed and president (government officials that control the industrial prison complex), "I'm the plug to the electric chair" (it being plugged into the wall of the prison itself) that's how it was all coming together for me, just INSANE!
Such a fire breakdown for this poetic masterpiece , stank face whole time!
Coast on another level, this is real rap
Was waiting for this shit!!
This is art
San Quentin is a federal prison in California. So coast to coast, San Quentin to rikers, California to New York.
11:55 - And he also whipped out the Proverbs 27:17, the whole "like Iron sharpens Iron"...
@12:20 LITERALLY MY SAME REACTION I SWEAR TO GOD
Tap your mind in and listen to they bars. That shit was scary deep
And he said box before the office line like movies in theaters is also called the box office
they goin tew crazy
"I got that shit that sharks sniff... That great white, each one of my lines make Jaws clinch".
Meaning he IS drugs,
because he's DOPE!!!!
KNew derae would enjoy this. Reminds me of his verse in ayo. So conceptual and omniscient
i love all of it, ras verse is a master class imo
they give me the same vibe as kendrick not comparing but some similarities in their delivery
This new crucial conflict 🔥🔥🔥
Battle rap without the Battle... Love it
Inception and The Departed are both Leonardo DiCaprio movies

yessir
Straight spoken word lol I was snapping my fingers all video 😂
26:02 “Jakes”?
This is art is facts
Rio Still alive like magic, uping the score, (stealing a live like uping the score is street back in blood type reference)
Ok I can't say I'm your biggest fan no mo right ?
Been waiting for this shit
was the last guy reffereing too death row records?
Poetry 🔥
Tip of the iceberg then don’t need to drown you then into the titanic bar
just throw on some of them soul burger beats and it fits perfectly.
18:50 Charles Darwin bars?! He’s the guy who came up with the theory of evolution. “Nice to meet you I’m darwin. The evolution of hip hop is here regardless”
Such a tough bar!!!
I think they missed that one especially if they missed the debate bar on first listen
Death does have one heck of a roster… smh look at how many great ones (esp young rappers) we lost to death smh man. Ras killed at the end. 💯
Me personally these guys arent for me but I do like their passion and they got some good bars.
★Vibe•Villa★
whenever Ras is going last just know he about to lose his mind
These guys are different.
4th verse needa be taught in schools
