I think one of the coolest things about this video is the fact that Tobe's team gave Contra a table lol Of course the table is MINT, cuz you know... That's the aesthetic. But the table makes it feel like the perfect blend of both worlds.
“I’m kissed by the sun/ A flower child pulled from his roots/ Ya schools lied about the soil I’m from/ Like when did I leave and/ Branch off my family tree/ We come from the dirt/ The mud/ We was meant to succeed/ Was brought overseas to serve/ But that’s not in our breed”
Talk about a perfect collaboration. They fit in perfectly with the visual concept that Tobe Nwigwe presents. I'm so mad at myself for getting on the Tobe Train WAAAAAYYYY too late. But now I'm full on that mo-fo. And Coast Contra is the freshest thing to come to hip-hop in the past 2 - 3 years. That group will do big things, if the kids latch on to them. They already have old heads like me checking for everything they do now.
I just turnt 21 I hope other people my age listen. I usually listen to lil uzi n juice wrld n gunna n other rappers that’s on top rn but I also listen to old shit like big L n pig pun since I was like 16 tryna hear everything. You should listen to wale the sage he underrated af
The Wheat and The Tao Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt 13:30) The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil. (Tao 5) The Wise take care of everyone (Tao 27)
debatable, all the groups like them are successful. Name one group like them that don't get any love, and then you'll have showed a group that really doesn't compare.
I don't think there are any groups like Coast. They are in a league of there own. I hope they are blessed with a long musical career, good health and creativity. These boys deserve everything they have worked so hard for and more. They are upstanding, shining, representatives for hip hop. honoring its founders and the culture while breathing new life into it, bringing it back around and elevating the vibration to new levels yet unheard.
I gotta say this...seeing the smile on Tobe face while oh boy rapping on that piano. I don't know why but I overly loved that. Brothers happy to see other brothers doing they thing. Everything about this video is soooo fucking dope!!!!
No flashy cars, no money thrown around, no pool parties, no helicopters, no booty shots, no autotune, just raw talent all around spitting fire lyrics and tight beats. Thank you, thank you, thank you for elevating hip hop. A new standard has been set. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah this is soul hop if anything. Mixed with lyric beats. As in the lyrics become a true part of the beat, they decide the next note. This is more powerful than any other people I hear rap, and hip hop. Those dances are ritualistic, this is powerful on the soul. I wouldn't call it pure hip hop.
Hear me out, I mean this. I'm 44yo white dude, been down with hip-hop since '89. I would fall asleep at night listening to Soul 92.1 from Rocky Mount, NC with my generic Walkman. I literally have goosebumps right now. For the 1st time ever the lyrics, music, performers have really hit me deep. I think I'm understanding why people feel taken by emotion with gospel music in church, I can't really explain it. I wish I could see this in person to feel the power of the people and music vibrate in my chest. One day. Thank you Tobe & Coast Contra!
This song is a testament with how powerful a track can be when it's speaking with MEANING behind the bars and produced with pure artistry and passion behind it. It might or might not be a stretch to call it a masterpiece, but it is a concrete MASTERCLASS in what every soundtrack should aspire to be: pure art.
I can always tell that a song hits different when I get goosebumps. The goosebump test never lies. This ish right here is DIFFERENT... ✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥 Thank you Tobe and Coast Contra for reminding folks that bars matter...quality matters...originality matters.
How? Just how? Coast Contra JUST started really gertin recognize in a bigger way. Tobe was like, "yea....them boys nice. Aye Fat!! We got another one!!" This song was beautiful. I'm about to put this thang on repeat.
I am a BIG fan. Myself being a Liturgical Dancer, appreciate how he is the only artist thus far to include that type of dance in the theatrical of his videos. Thank you Tobe
I made the.... Mistake/Beautiful choice to watch this entire album + the live studio session off mushrooms. It took up damn near the whole trip, but, I wouldn't have had it any other way. A whole new level of appreciation for Tob, Fat, the director, producers, and creativity as a whole. Y'all are god tier.
Man, Tobe is bringing the truth to the table, and having contra on there was just pure bliss. Keep your voice loud Tobe, everyone needs to hear it, understand it, and grow from it. You’re not only an artist, but a teacher. Respect is an understatement of what I have for you. Thank you Tobe, you da man!
WHEWWWWW!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sidebar: If 'NY Undercover' was still on, this would be one of those songs that came on while the story was unfolding. (Everybody would be calling into the radio station to play it the next day) lol
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! I was legit cheesin through this whole video. I dont personally know any of these brothas but im soooo freaking happy and proud for all of them!
If you ever hear someone say Hip-Hop is dead, THIS is what you show them. Tobe is the new Solo, Coast is the new Group. If people don't know, tell them. Shout it from the rooftops. THIS THAT FYE FYE!!
The new center of the hip hop universe has been revealed. This is it. Please keep it going. I don’t have time left to go through another hip hop dark age.
Dear Goddess Thank You!!! for making me a part of this beautiful, creative Nubian Race. I Love My People!!!! Yes!!! this is the perfect collaboration, the Godz and Goddesses are doing it, this is mental, spiritual and soul food. Gwaan tru kindred ah suh we do it!!! Jah!!!
The spell has been broken. 400 years past the eyes have been opened. Love to see positive themes in these rhymes Tobe spoken. Reaching them masses of our people so they know they royalty and've been chosen.
I saw some trap rapper with 83 million views on some bull rap song. But this ain’t even touched a mil yet I’m so sick of talent not being recognized and appreciate , but a gimmick is where it’s at though? SMH coast contra keep doing what your doing , this what the game needs
Everything you touch is of God, Tobe Nwigwe. Thank you for existing. There is a revolution happening thank you for continuing to give it a voice. All the love to you and yours!
Bruh this is the rap flows that I love. I love raps that included God and good knowledge for those who is lost in the sauce and clout chasing out here.
The whole video, choir, coast & tobe. The colour matching and layering, jesus christ this was beautiful to watch. Not to mention how chaotic but smooth everything sounds, great performance and visuals, choreography, pure wow. Did anyone notice how the setup at 2:50 looks extremely similar to Coast Contra's studio freestyle videos?
I keep listening to what they saying and it makes my spirit smile and cry with joy every time. I pray this good energy touches everyone like a virus and pushes us all to accomplish good things.
God damn tobe 😩😩😩😩, not me screaming BLACK POWER ✊🏾

THAT PART!!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Freedom Baaaaaaaaaars‼️
That's what the cells of a Alkebulans say. Rise rise rise...
That is pure facts and genius!
That whole table and Eric Jamal's anger on the verse was perfect for him to be standing on the table

The Wheat and The Tao
Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt 13:30)
The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil.
(Tao 5)
The Wise take care of everyone
(Tao 27)
Yes this is perfect!
Man this brought me to tears. Man we need this as a culture. The reemergence of Hip-Hop.
Thanks Tobe and Coast!!!
Man!I thought I was the only one.
Preach, mang.
Same
hiphop didnt go anywhere
This needs to be on the #WakandaForever soundtrack!
make this happen. honestly they might just ask coast contra to make a song for the movie. Dave chappelle asked for them to open for his show
If the African Diaspora didn't have a theme song, it does now! Wow! 🔥🤯🔥🤯
Yesss it would definitely resonate
I totally agree!
Facts!!!!!
I'm glad Coast Contra is getting the love they're getting. Most groups like them don't 💯
debatable, all the groups like them are successful. Name one group like them that don't get any love, and then you'll have showed a group that really doesn't compare.
Usually cuz they're not what most consider mainstream rap music.
I don't think there are any groups like Coast. They are in a league of there own. I hope they are blessed with a long musical career, good health and creativity. These boys deserve everything they have worked so hard for and more. They are upstanding, shining, representatives for hip hop. honoring its founders and the culture while breathing new life into it, bringing it back around and elevating the vibration to new levels yet unheard.
@@gravecodenot taking sides, but fu-schnickens and onyx come to mind.
I gotta say this...seeing the smile on Tobe face while oh boy rapping on that piano. I don't know why but I overly loved that. Brothers happy to see other brothers doing they thing. Everything about this video is soooo fucking dope!!!!
Him on the congos gives me life😭🙌🏽
💯
He sitting there looking like a proud father "YES! Give them HELL son!" 😂😂
that's Eric Jamal. that man changed my life. listen to there freestyles, listen to his words... God speaks through that man
Same bro
No flashy cars, no money thrown around, no pool parties, no helicopters, no booty shots, no autotune, just raw talent all around spitting fire lyrics and tight beats. Thank you, thank you, thank you for elevating hip hop. A new standard has been set. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you see one of these comments, it’s golden
Facts
You've seen "Been Broke" though right?

Tobe Nwigwe is unstoppable. Definitely the most underrated artist I know.
Underrated? Nawww, he is what you call an artist, artist and everyone knows it.

Tobe's face when Eric is laying that lava bring nothing but joy to my soul.....these kings deserve everything they got coming for them! 👑
Tobe helped me find this group and in 24 hrs they became my favorite rap group hands down. Tobe looked so happy proud of his bro.
Ik my uncle is pretty dope 💀
Real shit, I was thinking the same shit.
He said, “We come from Dirt, The mud.. we was meant to succeed”
Dirt & Mud really do suck the seed. Mind blowing!
This is a “mo-MINT-us” occasion. Definitely a multi-layered collaboration. The last verse 😤😤😤

My goodness!!!
The energy!!! The cadence!!! The Angst!!! The delivery!!! The Setup!!! The rawness!!!

Bars 😭

That last verse = Verse of the year
Why this ain on the Black Panther Soundtrack??? Bruh the ancesters moving through them farealz!
This style of music should be top tier.
*IS
Nobody gonna talk about this being in the black panther Wakanda forever trailer and killing it?
THAT CINEMATOGRAPHY. that whip pan at 2:16 will forever be engrained in my brain.
I can always tell that a song hits different when I get goosebumps. The goosebump test never lies. This ish right here is DIFFERENT... ✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥✊🏾🔥 Thank you Tobe and Coast Contra for reminding folks that bars matter...quality matters...originality matters.
Nell just casually producing a track with 7 of the best beats you've ever heard. Just unreal!
She's insane with it, there's no chill with her work. The beats that she doesn't like as much is even next level.
She didn't produce the tracks on this album.
How? Just how? Coast Contra JUST started really gertin recognize in a bigger way. Tobe was like, "yea....them boys nice. Aye Fat!! We got another one!!" This song was beautiful. I'm about to put this thang on repeat.
You have to think, the budget is minimal. He knows how to make videos. All it takes is money and time. Tobe is a genius.
@@merk9526 he really is. And I love it. That man is a goat, and no one can or will tell me otherwise.
This song is one of my all time favorites. Eric's verse goes so hard.
I am a BIG fan. Myself being a Liturgical Dancer, appreciate how he is the only artist thus far to include that type of dance in the theatrical of his videos. Thank you Tobe
And Solange
I made the.... Mistake/Beautiful choice to watch this entire album + the live studio session off mushrooms. It took up damn near the whole trip, but, I wouldn't have had it any other way. A whole new level of appreciation for Tob, Fat, the director, producers, and creativity as a whole. Y'all are god tier.
HOW did y'all exceed expectations that were already so high?! 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
Man, Tobe is bringing the truth to the table, and having contra on there was just pure bliss. Keep your voice loud Tobe, everyone needs to hear it, understand it, and grow from it. You’re not only an artist, but a teacher. Respect is an understatement of what I have for you. Thank you Tobe, you da man!

Sidebar: If 'NY Undercover' was still on, this would be one of those songs that came on while the story was unfolding. (Everybody would be calling into the radio station to play it the next day) lol
You’re spot on with this one sis 🎯
You PREACHIN' on this Sunday afternoon 🤣💯
Most definitely
the "fe fi fo/this is what destructions sounds like" is perfect for the intro scene that plays before the theme song.
They DID it. Black Panther Wakanda Forever Soundtrack 😍
😂😂👌👌
Just found coast contra this year and so happy y'all found each other. Clearly Kings with the same mindset 👑
This banger was featured for the new Black Panther trailer. Congrats to al involved.
i’m sorry for the monster i became when i heard that verse at the end. That literally went so hard good god ❤🔥
When the 2 artist everyone around you sleeps on the most come together. Can we get a tour yet?! Give us COAST y NWIGWE por favor!
Came for destruction, stayed for perfection.
Eric won't let you down I promise homie the truth
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! I was legit cheesin through this whole video. I dont personally know any of these brothas but im soooo freaking happy and proud for all of them!
This song is insane in a good way.
Such powerful lyrics and word play through and through!
THIS MY FAVORITE TOBE SONG BY FAR
I was so hyped when I heard this song, and then I heard it on the black panther trailer
Okay
I been waiting 36 years for this energy LET EM HAVE IT
This man has revolutionized the music video. I love the consistency. SH!T HARD
Seeing Tobe's face while Eric was rapping made my day. You can see the joy in his face with Coast Contra
Wakanda forever ❤️
That first dude bring strong Wu-tang vibes. The whole of coast contra do but first buddy sounds lot like ODB and Method Man. Great stuff.
You can feel the fire
Raging inside our souls.
Eric Jamal a star. He gone be the GOAT of this new generation.
Walking towards the light as my conscious…bereaving! 🔥🔥🔥
Yo I caught that one too, got palpitations over here
rhymes flow like water 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The "FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME TWICE, BOOM BOOM" J Cole reference was FIREEEEEEE BROOO. I JUST LOVE THESE GUYS!
Bro Tobe looked like a proud father when Eric started rapping ❤
i love how they all ended up at the table like another freestyle sesh. good shit
song is FIRE, the bars, the metaphors, the delivery. JUST STRAIGHT HIP HOP
His flow @2:44 oh my, oh my
So much passion. I felt it through the screen...
Amazing yall 💚🌳💚
If you ever hear someone say Hip-Hop is dead, THIS is what you show them. Tobe is the new Solo, Coast is the new Group. If people don't know, tell them. Shout it from the rooftops. THIS THAT FYE FYE!!
Couldn’t have said it better. This here you could feel the art was larger than life. It stands for something that matters
Radio will NEVER play something this dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They all killed it and that track is insane
The new center of the hip hop universe has been revealed. This is it. Please keep it going. I don’t have time left to go through another hip hop dark age.
Dear Goddess Thank You!!! for making me a part of this beautiful, creative Nubian Race. I Love My People!!!! Yes!!! this is the perfect collaboration, the Godz and Goddesses are doing it, this is mental, spiritual and soul food. Gwaan tru kindred ah suh we do it!!! Jah!!!

Who else felt this🔥🔥🔥 in dey soul
Bruh I’m literally crying and I don’t even think it’s me, it’s my ancestors
Bruh this is the rap flows that I love. I love raps that included God and good knowledge for those who is lost in the sauce and clout chasing out here.
Say folk…y’all are a gift from God
Hip-Hop ain't dead
How you listen to one song 10 times and notice a new thing that changes your world each of the ten times? Magic...that's just magic.
I see Coast Contar I click. I am so happy
This is 🔥 and they still isn't ready for the relaspe... Toby been on their neck, now it's going Coast 2 Coast Contra....
Coast Contra will forever be kings!!
BARRRRRS COAST will forever be themselves and evolve rap and spoken word…never disappoints thank you 🙏🏾
WAKANDA bought me here!🙅🏿♂️
This collaboration is powerful
I'm back here after Black Panther.... The song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Preach brothers, preach. 🔥🔥
400 Years I was Born to be mad At U Seesh I felt that
This song needs to be on the soundtrack for Black Panther 2
this is the sound that runs the rap game ... the purity mixed with ingenuity and passion
This whole song was amazing, but THAT ENDING HIT DIFFERENT!!!! Got me walking around saying Fee-Fi-Fo-Fee for no reason! 😂
The whole video, choir, coast & tobe. The colour matching and layering, jesus christ this was beautiful to watch. Not to mention how chaotic but smooth everything sounds, great performance and visuals, choreography, pure wow. Did anyone notice how the setup at 2:50 looks extremely similar to Coast Contra's studio freestyle videos?
Well spotted. I missed that one. They all sat around there table.💯🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
I listened to 1:10 - 1:35 over and over so many times now.......that flow is just so damn addicting.
THATS MY FAVORITE PART TOO
late to the party, but honestly, each song Ras amazes me more
We need a Tobe, Coast, Kendrick, and Cole ultimate collab
I keep listening to what they saying and it makes my spirit smile and cry with joy every time. I pray this good energy touches everyone like a virus and pushes us all to accomplish good things.
That was just history
TOBE NWIGWE is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for him one day.
im shocked this is culture, talent, hustle and loyalty .... dope. Thank you for that
