Coast Contra - AYO | FIRST REACTION 

Break the shit down Kings! We came for a reaction and breakdown. Is weird af when people complain about pausing too much. Like Scru Face Jean says, “GO LISTEN TO SONG IF YOU WANT TO HEAR IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. YOU WEIRDO YOU.” Do ya thang fam 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Rio was actually talking to himself in the mirror his sister has cancer. Prayers up for her

Bro, if you two spend an hour seeking and breaking it down I'm here for it. Coast is so dense hearing other perspectives help.

Last verse was so poetic, go and listen to that verse from the prospective of him his “higher self” and “lower self” talking to each other, cause while in that lower voice he talks about some of the things, the urges he’s been dealing with, but his higher self(high pitched voice) replies with the hook saying, his sympathies don’t come cheap, that was fire, but then also at the end of his verse his lower self says in response “but the world is F’d up”, and his higher self tells him go to your inner world find relief, both saying God bless you. Love that verse so much I know it’s still some stuff I’m missing too Further analysis of his verse Ras only curses in his lower voice/lower self and in his higher voice/higher self after the hook comes back around, responds to some of the questions posed by his lower self, (Over analysis incoming) plus this next part might be a stretch, but his higher self saying “Speaking life into your lifespan, that life bar was health” is his higher self basically saying he is speaking life/light into the dark path his lower self explained he walk, when he was saying “Life been hard for me…”, and also his HS responds with the life bar saying “it was health” meaning, if his LS and HS are the same person then him rapping bars gave him health or at least rapping that “health bar” did. Im Probably reading to deep into it tho

I love how the opening sequence of the video connects to Rio's Fibonacci sequence/ spiral bar.

I've been waiting for yall to break this down!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Edit: 19:44 Rio said "This sht PHI, that's why the numbers don't lie G" I'm pretty sure he's referencing something called the Golden Ratio (which is referred to as the divine proportion) Phi is the Golden Ratio which is what the ratio between two consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches. So he's saying the beat and/or his lyricism is so perfect, the numbers can't lie. Rio is insane🤦🏾‍♂🔥🔥

Rio was actually talking about talking to himself in the mirror.

This is song of the year until further notice, Coast is ELITE

Eric Jamal honestly one of the best rappers in the game, like just technical rapping ability

Rio isn't talking to a friend. He is talking to his own reflection. Listen again.

Another crazy one that y’all missed was the line “be weary of different bacteria contaminations, when they gon realize our culture is in danger?” In science, it’s called a “bacteria culture test” whenever they test bacteria for a bacterial infection. 🤯🤯🤯

Eric Jamal's verse is so dense, you can go bar by bar and it's all THICK.

When they realize Rio was referring to his self reflection 😅😅 thats the real reaction!!🙆🏾‍♂️

SELF REFLECTION INTROSPECTIVE/INTROSPECTION IS A MUST FOR SELF DISCOVERY. THIS IS WHY I LOVE J.I.D AND COAST CONTRA!!! STILL SHOOK OF THE FOREVER FROM J.I.D AND EVERYTHING COAST CONTRA SPEAKS ON/OF!!! 🎊🎈🎉💐💃🫂✊️🤝👏

Been waiting on this reaction!

One of the best breakdown channels.

Bout mufuckn time y'all reacted lol. Been waiting on this reaction fasho 🔥🔥🔥

Rio was talking to himself in the mirror. He starts and ends his verse with the mirror scheme

That breakfast scheme in the middle of the pregnancy scheme from Eric......... WTFFFF!!

I GOTTA BE HONEST I WASN'T FEELING THIS SONG AT 1ST ...BUT AFTER THE VIBEVILLA BREAKDOWN I'M ON BOARD ..THANK YALL THIS WAS EXCEPTIONAL ....SALUTE ! ! !

True statement, I don't sub to Ras' philosophy, but the poetic nature of it and relation to my life right now had me in tears, AFTER replaying this song like 4-5 times JUST to understand it. These guys man.

Bro,I really rock wit y'all! I'm an older dude that's loved hip hop since a preteen! The way y'all break down bars shows....1, you both are very intelligent young Kings! 2, you respect the art because of your reactions,I can tell that. Keep doing ur thing.. Much love & continued blessings! 💯

I think Eric Jamal had better bars but for some reason, my favorite verse is Ras’.. it just resonated with me the most..

Eric Jamal..so far the best verse of 2024 🔥🔥🤦🏾

You are the ONLY ones who can make videos this long on first reactions and truly provide entertaining content from start to finish. Never stop what you do we appreciate tf outta y'all 🤝

Rio Loz sister is the one with cancer. She is 14. 😢 Take your time. Break down the bars, pause as often as you need. You catch things the rest of us miss. We will watch. It's not a problem. Yeah new sub here. Love yall 💕

Bro...THANK YOU‼️ U guys expressions are our exact feelings.. bro it feels amazing watching u guys react to such MASTERY... #6Goats‼️‼️

"There is no best member is Coast Contra" such a fact!! They all blend so perfectly together! #AYO

Been waiting on yall to hit this one! Eric with a verse of the year candidate and Ras was pure genius. Rio was rapping to himself in the mirror his verse.

Glad yall brought up Dr Carter bc that’s immediately where my mind went. Dr Carter also been my ringtone since it dropped and hasn’t changed 😂

Rio verse he talking to a reflection in f himself

Almost July 2024 and Eric Jamal STILL has Verse of The Year!!! This was an epic verse

You guys never disappoint 💯

glad you guys loved rio's verse. that shit hit me hard as a brick.

y’all and lost in vegas on the same day im in heaven

I am always here for a longer VibeVilla reaction. We needed it! Never pause on the pausing on a Coast song. And it’s so difficult to move on to other music. They are raising the bar one bar at a time

Yeaaaa we been waiting for yall!!! Let’s go villagang 💪🏿

BEEN WAITING FOR YALL BREAKDOWN!!!!

Love the breakdown, love the reaction and they are pure gold🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Best reactions and breakdowns as always ❤

You two are the goats for bar breakdowns, dont stop !

🔥reaction as always…. These men are helping bring the divine back into art. It’s a special time. Truthfulness, compassion, forbearance 🙏🏼 Falun Dafa is good

Rio's portion brought tears to my eyes. All of them are amazing.

Grateful for your vibes, insightful analysis, humor, and your gratitude to the art.

Great job, detailed and precise breakdown ❤

Been waiting for you two to do this!!!

I respect you guys to di max. I listen this song at first and mist most of these bars. ❤ u guys. Thanks for the clarity.

Dope reaction and I'm lovin the angel kiss patch in your beard too.

Amazing reaction and breakdown

I could make a comment that’s extensive as the depth in these verses but I won’t do that, I’m speechless like bro…layered with entendres, a message, a flow , a feel, bars and just continuing to raise the bar

Always love the breakdowns, this was definitely their best so far!! Afterwards you were speaking on Coast being hard to move on from considering their talent and consciousness.... I recently listened to a new LOCKSMITH freestyle... More conscious bar heavy content 🔥🤯

You guys reaction just made me hit the sub button. I really appreciate how invested you'll were in the lyrics & vibe of the jOint so yea, keep doing the damn thing fellas! Peace & Love 💪🏽💯

Called out my dawg looked him in the mirror. He talking to himself.

I’m alway HERE for longer videos!!! Sending y’all so much love. Appreciate what y’all are doing 🙏❤️ Also the ending 😂😂

Was waiting for y’all to react to this

You cats are definitely a welcome to hip hop on how you break down bars. Your knowledge is far beyond your age. Hip hop iz not dead. Thanks for your reaction, Comin from an 59yr old hip hop head. ✌🏿 and ❤!

Coast Contra is currently the best definition of hip hop out right now from the Lux's, Thoughts,Monchs ,Defs,Kwelis , Ransoms etc

First time seeing you guys react and that was 🔥 Kudos

Dope reaction 🔥🔥🔥

Yo fellas, I really enjoyed yall reaction and I too find it hard to listen to other artists who spit as well, cus of the content that's hits on all levels. Good job my brothers

This dudes are good! Great channel

You're the first reactors I've seen that caught that Rio was talking to himself in the mirror as a friend. Great reaction

Y’all boyz break down the bars, the scheme, the word play, the different enjoyable nuances of their style of music, their lyrical brilliance etc.. Bro I can keep going…. ellipses

love the break down, boys. would like to hear more cause I think you dont want the video be too long. but I and your peeps here would appreciate a deeper breakdown. but maybe for another song. dope reaction and breakdown tho.

I just picked up in the "whoa is me.." double meaning... Wow wow wow!!!

COAST CONTRA IS LITERALLY THE KATT WILLIAMS OF RAP/HIP-HOP!!! 🎊🎈🎉 💐💃🫂 🙏🤞🤞

Y'all break shit down differently🔥🤟

It's wild how each one of these guys are absolutely mind-blowing.

Thank you for this

Great reaction Instant sub Edit: I checked out Dr. Carter I can definitely buy the idea that Eric Jamal took inspiration from that song

A quality breakdown. 👍

Do ya thing guys, break every fucking bar down. That's what we are here for! Edit: As someone who works in healthcare, that multiple bar scheme about medicine/health was absolutely insane.

Was waiting on yall to hear this yo this was master class and i agree with darae eric jamal for sure spit the best verse ive heard at least since cole on yachtys shit

Nice breakdown fellas

Man never apologize for breaking down every bar of these absolute lyrical geniuses. We come here to see exact that ! Watch the reaction you guys have to every lyric is everything ! Because we all have the same reaction ! Anyone in here saying anything but this, just isn’t here for the love of lyrical ability.

they're amazing, y'all are great & i been waiting on this breakdown, but... where you get that hoodie tho? the snaps!

(In Verse Order) 1.Eric Jamal/E 2.Taj Austin/Taj 3. Rio Loz/Rio 4. Ras Austin/Ras

❤ took yall long enough, but we here !

I appreciate you guys for what you do. I am 53 been listening to rap since 8 years old in the late 70’s. You guys are the best at this stuff. I have listened to other breakdowns but you guys do it the best. The stuff you guys catch 🤯. I learn so much from you guys. 🫡

Yo, what took y'all sooo long, I've been waiting for ya'll to drop a vid on this!!

Yooooo I did not catch that about Rio's verse. I didn't realize it was two perspectives. That shit is fire, I love this group.

COAST CONTRA! Thee New Native Tougues ! 🔥 🔥 🔥

The camera angle in the beginning gives u that Naughty by Nature vibe

Dope reaction as usual. Also what brand is your bomber coat?

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

If yall wanna really dive into coast, yall gotta react to their “It’s Different” freestyle! It was one of their first and will show yall that they’ve been 🔥🔥 since day 1! As always fire reaction/breakdown fam, much love!

finally, why y'all took it so long to react.

Peace and love fam 🙏

Bless

Rio was spitting math with Fibonacci / spiraling out

If you guys listen to this again, it will blow your mind the way it did me. So Eric going first, is about the state of hip-hop and how much in danger it is, then Taj goes next and talks about the life in hip-hop and his optimism for whats to come. Then Rio goes and talks about looking himself in the mirror and having difficult conversations, how life's struggles are testing his faith, then Ras finishes by literally saying, look in the mirror at your higher self and being as close to godhood as you can get... This record is close to perfection.

The wheel-cheer bar could also symbolize the record label "handicapping" their artist by not allowing them to create...

You gotta listen to Eric verse in 26th Letter Cypher This man Droppin Bibical Scripture

Verse of thee year!

The last verse is something special. I don't have a drop of religion or spiritualism in me but simply as a work of art, it is on another level. Unlimited respect.

Reaction was fire!! 🔥Can u guys do Eminem - Don't front! Love to see the breakdown of that! 🔥🔥

LOST IN VEGAS, VIBE VILLA, SCRU FACE JEAN, JOE DENTON, KNOX HILL, THETHIRDERNEST, TEE GOCRXZY!!! BAR BREAKDOWN KINGS OF RU-vid!!!

When Rio refers to spiraling at 19:53, he's talking about the mathematics of the shape in nature. Like shells or orbits
