Yeah that was fucked up based on the fact that a lot of Hispanics are and were historically involved in the growth of hip hop especially in New York...plus he talks about his grind and rough childhood in Columbia which can be or is tougher than any streets in the U.S
@@AhyawabYasharahla especially because they actually translated the lyrics on screen. They usually have his lyrics in Spanish which would make it super annoying to try and use google translate and find out what he’s saying. But they’re right there on the screen for this one
This was my first time seeing one of their reaction video, but that's where they lost me. I don't speak Spanish either, but I can still hear that Rio's clearly flowing his ass off in that language. PLUS the translation is on screen, but these dudes refuse to even read it?!?
So, the reason Rio (the spanish one) did that weird voice at first was because he was quoting what the birds in his village would tweet at him in the early mornings, he was trying to sound like a bird with the high pitch.
@@thedurtylemur2282I’m going to be honest that kinda irritated me because they are saying they can’t understand what he’s saying but there are literally big bright yellow captions 😅
That Aten bar was stooooopid 🔥🔥🔥... Aten was an Egyptian diety that the ppl were forced to worship. Once the pharaoh died, everybody stopped worshipping Aten. So they "Never did have faith" in "Aten". but the way he blended that with "Since When did Sins win"... "Never did"... "have faith" Aten🤯🤯🤯
RAS also said rappers are thinking in a 5 by 10 box(5 × 10=50) 50 Cent reference then he says MANY MEN and a cell block is 5 by 10. Then he includes brain cells All in this scheme 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn that's crazy... I didn't catch that until you mentioned it... Their lyrics are so layered and these guys have everything that has been missing from hop hop lately.
- Eric Jamal is the ODB/Busta Rhymes of the group. He brings unconventional versatility and a rockstar personality. - Ras brings the unconventional flow with more aggressive bars, and he's the one you don't want to battle against lol. - Rio is the bilingual rapper; he's got "the voice," the heart, the poetic bars, and real life struggle experience. He's the calmest and the most humble because of that. - Taj (imo) is the leader, the balanced one that combines the smoothest flows with the deepest bars. Like his brother Ras, he can def bar the f outta you, but UNlike Ras, he's much more tempered lol
It's probably just me being confused when reactors state that they don’t understand what Rio is saying in his native tongue(Spanish); and I get it! Especially if you don’t speak or understand the language. But then when the subtitles are there; but you then say that you're not going to read them is puzzling to me. And yet you're reading all the words that are on the screen from the other three. I think we are trained not to hear and become as Ras(#2) said prisoners confined in our brain cells. jmo
Because We'd be pausing every line jus to comprehend it lol while we can read English faster as we hear it cuz we know it but it's way slower comprehending subtitles when u have a beat rhythm and flow to follow too. Also for the record I don't wanna hear any Spanish music in English either
Totally agree @fayerwashington51, I was really enjoying this reaction until Rios' turn, not because of Rio but because of the reactors. This has been like my 15th reaction video of Coast and this is the 1st time someone dislikes something. Some people appreciate 1 culture, and some people appreciate all cultures.
@@AlmostJokingPod You do realize that most viewers ARE fully comprehending Rio's bars when reading English subtitles while simultaneously appreciating his voice, cadence, flow, performance, and rhyming without an issue, right? That's WHY you are getting such backlash! Clearly, others (including the 20 or so other reactors I've watched for this freestyle thus far) aren't having the same issue. If we weren't doing so ourselves, we'd agree with your response. Other reactors are catching everything and even explaining certain aspects of Rio's bars that I didn't immediately understand because I wasn't familiar with the reference. Honestly, this is the first reaction video I've watched that had such a negative reaction to Rio's part. At least recognize that the issue is NOT that Rio is rapping in another language nor that his verses were "weaker" than the others. It's simply that you can't mentally and auditorily multi-task fast enough to enjoy non-English verses with subtitles. No shame in that. I think the core issue that is causing others to react so strongly is that you didn't even bother to try! Worse, you made it sound like it wasn't worth the effort. So, you came across as biased and lazy rather than unable. Trust that viewers wouldn't have cared if you stopped the video 50 times if it appeared you wanted to give Rio's verses the same respect as the others. I was enjoying your reaction until Rio's part, so will check out other Coast videos hoping to see a more open-minded approach. ❤
The fiyah for the third due is simply the fact that he raps delivering STRAIGHT FLOW in both Spanish and English, mixing nuances of his knowledge of both cultures and eras of rap from both both sides of the tongues he speaks, without any technicality. He's DOPE!! 🔥(Yeah, I'm a bit biased...bilingual) 😉
Not as biased as you may think. I don't speak Spanish, and English is not my native language - but I think Rio is absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Not a weak link at all.
Imagine rapping in Spanish and ppl talking bout they don't understand you so you put English subtitles...and now they're to lazy to try and understand what you saying cuz they don't want to read 😂😂😂 the pure laziness is outta this world lol. Fire reaction though, but geez the laziness on that part is crazy
It’s for sure engineered. I love coast and it being engineered doesn’t take anything away from they’re skill. But it’s for sure laid down in the studio then record a music video for it essentially.
Yeah it's pre recorded... You can even tell when they zoom in and zoom out the other members that aren't rapping will be doing something totally diffrent then what they were doing not even a second before. Their arms will be in a different position ect....
Freestyle is different than "off tha top of the dome". This masterpiece was clearly written, rehearsed! That's why it's so damn fire! LONG LIVE COAST CONTRA!
I understand not giving it Rio a try if there wasn't English subtitles, but come even a little glance of the words would have given so much context to his verse. He personified birds on some Bob Marley shit then tied it back in back in at the end with the rastifari line. Yall got potential though!
Sad even when they translate it people still refuse to read and digest just how hard it is that he is saying something coherent and poignant in English and rhyming it in Spanish...we were doing our own translation prior to get Rio's bars/story down and pleasantly struggling to learn and appreciate...people can't be afraid to read...if you just read the subtitle it made sense...I guess people like this who listen to Hip-hop aren't anime watchers sans dubs
@@AlmostJokingPod Do you read books? Genuinely curious if you're against reading in general or just reading bars specifically? I enjoyed the rest of your reaction very much but was really shocked at how against reading his (already translated) bars you were... This gave me the vibe of someone who is a major 'foodie' not wanting to eat at a highly rated restaurant just because that restaurant doesn't have a drive through. Like you have every right to pass on it, but if you like food as much as you say, do you realize how many flavors/dishes you're missing out on by only eating at places with a drive through? "I'm sure theres great food in there, but I ain't trying that shit without a drivethrough" is exactly how it felt... "Keep driving, I can't be bothered to park and go in" just doesn't make sense if you really are about the food, which it seemed like you both are.
This is engineered. In the rap world today "freestyle" doesn't always mean straight off the dome. It means it was pre written and memorized, then rapped off of memory therefore calling it a "freestyle". Either way these guys went absolutely insane with this one 🤯
this 'freestyle' is bcuz they can't make $$ off this because they're not paying roylaties on the beat, which is a Tribe called Quest beat, so the song is 'free' cuz they're not paying or getting paid for it. TOTALLY diff than the 'freestyle' aka unwritten bars done impromptu, named 'freeestyle' by Myka 9 of Freestyle Fellowship & Project Blowed
It’s called a freestyle in the sense that it’s a song without traditional song structure (verse, chorus, bridge…etc.). There’s no specific or pre-structured style for the track.
Redbull freestyle was done in one take…this is a “bring you OWN flow to the table” freestyle. Way more intricate then “off tha dome spits” This is how artist do their music videos…they just use a different view on rock the mic. They take it back to the boom-bap roots…battle rap, off the dome flows are always fun…but this is literally a classroom, and they teaching …all of us tbh Just like Rakim,and KRS,GZA taught my gen
Instant like just knowing that you never heard of Coast and you start with this one!!! This was pure murder! The ONLY thing that I would request is if you can turn the video volume up to match your volume. Welcome to the world of Coast Contra!! 9:38 That is what every single one of us said when we first saw Never Freestyle. Wait, it isn't just the weird hair dude? (EricJamal) FYI he puts his hair like that to signify that he is a king with his crown.
They use the term "Freestyle" the same way they use "Mixtape". It allows them to use certain beats without the usual permissions. We all know it was prewritten. Nevertheless Dope
The bar where he says " yea, that apple Adam bit? Bitten apple on the Mac"..... Is possibly and certainly SHOULD be....the most OBVIOUS wake up call to the human race
I remember in high school, we used to make fun of this Asian girl accent. Our English teacher was like...she speaks 2 languages, and yall failing your own. That's yall when it comes to Rios verse.
@@Quisee subs on the bottom...so you knew what he was saying. Your biggest thing was that, in English, it didn't rhyme. But if you took Q Tip verses and wrote them in Spanish, guess what...it wouldn't rhyme. It was the look of sarcasm and the dude on our right saying WE JUST GONNA TALK THROUGH HIS VERSE. Send out a link to your music. I would love to hear if you guys even come close to Coast Contra WHERE DEM BARS AT FAM!!??
@@johnbooker7153 you sound like a hater lol you're not getting any more attention from me because you're trying to fight about what exactly? Cause we said they got a A? Because we said your favorite guy came in last? For saying he got busy once we could understand but the other guys were just in a different level? What you mad about?? You're emotional cause we didn't want to read a song? We at a point in hip hop where people saying you should listen and judge music off captions vs the feel, the flow, the bars, the rhymes, the syllables, etc... THAT'S how you supposed to consume music.. im sure my man who rapped in Spanish was well aware that the Spanish was for his Hispanic fans and he switched later for everybody else... which is dope within itself... but you're emotional.. but if you want to hear me rap it's a video on the page called early morning bars.
"Burning cd's off my Mac" was a double metaphor. First was burning actual cd's back in the day off of his Macintosh Computer (those of us old enough to remember doing that can relate and second Bernie Mac from the movie "Life"!! This ish is crazy! They have taken rap to a whole nother level with their double/triple/quadruple metaphors, rhyme scheme, versatility in delivery, they can literally rap off beat and make it on beat at the SAME TIME! Mannnn these fellas are FIRE!!!!!
Rio’s verse in Spanish contains a lot of euphemisms and sayings that you only get if you do know Spanish. The English translation doesn’t capture that magic or the rhyme schemes. It just gives you a general translation. You’re just like what these artists are talking about. You’re in a box and enjoy what you are social engineered to like. I’ll watch someone else’s reaction from now on.
They all brought it Give Rios another listen or 3. All heart But my lawd Ras was on point I'll wait another 6 months if this is the result🔥 Hats off! #sloclapnocap
Right, even if you don't speak Spanish, you could feel Rios was killing that shit. And rapping uses approximate rhyme so it doesn't have to be the simple rhyme scheme you're into.
The reason they use subtitles is so people can catch the wordplay. This is actually the first freestyle where they translated Rio's verse. Up till now even the subtitles have been IN Spanish. I don't speak it but can catch words here and there but the dope part is that the Spanish words rhyme while the English does not. They reside in Cali so the Spanish connection for Rio works as well as in other countries around the world. Hip Hop is global, you got Emcees from every part of the globe and they don't rap in English.....
As we stated in the video.. just because we don't understand don't mean it wasn't good.. if someone from Japan started rapping I wouldn't understand it either.. don't mean it ain't good just mean I don't get it..I don't understand my woman complaining all the time either lol it's life
Y'all need to look at their other videos the guy with the dread is eric Jamal, the twins their father is a rapper from L.A. and the Spanish dude he raps in Spanish and English. They all nice that's what rap should be.
Lol , Rio part is so good. It’s definitely worth reading if you don’t understand Spanish also the voice he uses at the beginning I’m pretty sure it was a play off of the birds from the movie Rio as he said the birds tweet tweet a little before he uses that high pitched voice.
The comment that homie with no hat made, not understanding Spanish, and not just appreciating a HIP-HOP artist that's multilingual, shows a lot of ignorance 🙄
I think to say "if u don't listen to music the way I want you to then your wrong" is pretty ignorant too 🤷🏿♂️, also me skipping his verse would have been me not appreciating an artist who's multilingual.
If i saw a request-reaction Genie i would spend all the three wishes on you guys reacting to their freestyle on “The Come Up Show” It might be the best sit down freestyles of all time !! it is a must video on all hip-hop heads reaction channels
yeah, Rio is really good. I don't know why sometimes when they spaz out that he comes like soft it's whatever though there's so many music videos of them that you will get to see Rio shine the freestyle video I think it is where Eric Jamal goes crazy at the end Rio goes crazy at the beginning
And they ain't tryin to ride their pops coat tails. Kids and dad don't deny each other of course, but I like on both sides they lettin do they own thing
I heard people saying that they first wrote all of this and thats how they all knew when to say what at the same time. So if thats the case it is not freestyling, but just rapping.
Yeah ppl crazy if they think this was one take. I actually engineer too... this was most def pre recorded and they kept it sounding more natural vs studio quality. All the moving they were doing and how they was bumping mics you would've most def heard the difference in it .. still was dead dope though! To be real, it's what I would do too just for sound quality
That "many men" bar by RAS is crazy... took me like 10 listens to get that... 50 cent been to jail, jail cell size is usually be a 5 x 10 box, 50 cent had song called "Many Men"
@@AlmostJokingPod it for sure was disrespectful. its not the fact that you where not feeeling his verse. it was that you said you know what well just talk over him because what does it matter any way. ill admit to being a coast contra stan but i never seen a reactor just talk over the verse because they couldnt under stand the langauge. at the very least you could apprecate the flow or just let it ride till it was done pause it and say i didnt really understand so i didnt like it but to talk over my man is something else
Some of ya gotta grow up.. if it was a baby rapping in gogo gaga I'm not going to trying to decipher it either lol it don't mean the baby wasn't giving you bars, we just don't understand it.. if you do cool... we don't...relaxxxxxx. nobody said he was wack
@@AlmostJokingPod With peace and respect, that dude not a baby. He using his native language to reach a whole other group of listeners and be a bridge to where he came from. As well as flowing in English. And he's ill in both languages. That being said, I aint ever looked at a masterful painting and shit on it because I didnt know how to paint. The man is doing more at a higher level than most, that's the reality.
@@AlmostJokingPodOf course you disrespected him. For Hip-Hop sake his verse was translated but you guys didn't even try to read but just felt disgusting and irritated by Rio's verse. It's too bad a behavior.
RAS the second guy and Taj the last guy are twins. Their dad Rass Kass (old school rapper). The first guy Eric Jamal (from Philly). Rio Los (from Colombia) is the 3rd guy. All fire
AHHHH LUCKILY THIS ISNT MY FIRST VIDEO OF YALL REACTING TO COAST CONTRA SO THE FACT I ALREADY KNOW YALL DIDNT READ RIOS LYRICS I CAN OVERLOOK. NOW HAD THIS BEEN MY FIRST REACTION OF YALL TO THEM ID BE HEATED LIKE THE REST OF THE COMMENT SECTION; but it’s hilarious seeing the latest coast reaction 🫡🫡🫡 DONT DISRESPECT RIO!!!!
Ras can rap every witch Way every shape and form out there lol and it's always on beat rio needs more love as well he's bilingual his first language to Spanish and he's still out wrapping half the people in this country in English his second language lol but he's also the compass of the group his the glue he normally raps real shit
One thing I've done foolishly in my youth was deny other languages just cuz i couldn't understand them at the time. but soon realized that knowing many languages opens so many doors for great opportunities. Im hispanic and i denied learning spanish and i regret it cuz now they demand you learn it today! I wish i had somebody to tell me how foolish i was to just stick to english lmao... moral of the story is never be afraid or prideful to learn new things. cuz it might be beneficial in the end.💪🏾😎👍🏾
The Spanish you just heard Rio drop was DOPE.(its also in English subs lol )period don’t get to lost on the meaning, just dig the phrasing. Also Español? Is an enormous language deal with it Each one of them is like an infinity stone 🤛🏾 PS I like how you kept them full screen and you two small. Unlike other reaction vids who do the opposite.Sweet
Damn, y'all really disrespected Rio!😫 "Let's go ahead and talk 'cause I don't know what he's sayin."🙄 WTF?😡 The lyrics are literally right in front of you.....in English! It's kinda racist to say you only liked the English verse. I'm sure the Latinos will appreciate that! The rest of your reaction was a blast!💥 I enjoyed it mucho (that means a lot).😂 Sorry, I couldn't resist!🤭 Coast Contra🔥is different.💯 There ain't nobody like them doin' this old school rap with lyrical miracles line after line!🤪 Shout out to Q-tip for this beat!👍I don't think this was a true freestyle either 'cause the ad libs were clearly rehearsed. But I don't care.....this was REAL RAP!🔥🤗❤️✌️
If you can’t understand what he’s saying just read the fucking subtitles, disregarding an entire verse because you don’t want to use your eyes doesn’t make any sense
Per ya request we're going to most def check out the Cosmic Kev freestyle!!
Yessir! 💪🏽💯
Add Scenario Freestyle To Your List As Well..
YESSSSSS MY WISHES ARE FUCKING GRANTED
You won already a seat in my top5 reaction channels i fucking love you guys
🫡
And the realest freestyle
Any freeestyle with them at this table is worth reacting to. Give up the goods and the enemy are two of my favs. I’ll be here for coast!
"We dont even know what he sayin" as if the lyrics are posted right there on the screen lmao
Love y’all’s reactions but the refusal to listen and try to understand Rio Los is absolutely criminal.
I agree straight ignorant

So, the reason Rio (the spanish one) did that weird voice at first was because he was quoting what the birds in his village would tweet at him in the early mornings, he was trying to sound like a bird with the high pitch.
And he also flipped it...'birds' can also refer to women, which is another reason for the high voice
And also Rio from the animation movie voice
It's the issue with most people. They have no reading comprehension.
@@thedurtylemur2282I’m going to be honest that kinda irritated me because they are saying they can’t understand what he’s saying but there are literally big bright yellow captions 😅
@@MegumiCiBear Totally agree. Just talking thru Rio's best rap performance instead of reading the subtitles.
That Aten bar was stooooopid 🔥🔥🔥... Aten was an Egyptian diety that the ppl were forced to worship. Once the pharaoh died, everybody stopped worshipping Aten. So they "Never did have faith" in "Aten". but the way he blended that with "Since When did Sins win"... "Never did"... "have faith" Aten🤯🤯🤯
Yeah now that I kno that it is more 🔥
But some of these niggas are dumbos they want get it
🔥🔥🔥Yea I caught that too. Crazy lyricism at it's finest. (BIGGIE WHO?)
Wooow! Thanks for breaking that down! Makes me appreciate that bar so much more now! 🔥🔥🔥
BAR!!!!!!! thanks for the brakedown deff appreciate made love that bar even more

Nothing to do with 50 yo. It would’ve been in caps if it was just like all their other references.
@@ChazBrown22 How do you capitalize numbers?
this man saying its engineered like he discovering the nuclear codes
Rio be talking in spanish how you cant read and vibe to the beat lol
Ras is so wild at taming beats, he will beat the breaks off of a beat, until the beat say to him I don't have more to give Ras get off me😂😂😂
You have Ras Kass’ twins and two other dope emcees in one crew? Always gonna be gold!

I lit up when dash said he didn’t know who the coast was. Fire vid y’all. These dudes the truth
The bar where he says " yea, that apple Adam bit? Bitten apple on the Mac"..... Is possibly and certainly SHOULD be....the most OBVIOUS wake up call to the human race
I remember in high school, we used to make fun of this Asian girl accent. Our English teacher was like...she speaks 2 languages, and yall failing your own.
That's yall when it comes to Rios verse.
Not really we never made fun of him, we jus don't wanna read another rappers rap or learn a new language to understand a verse.
Would make sense if we was making fun... nobody made fun we said we don't know what he saying lol not the same
@@Quisee subs on the bottom...so you knew what he was saying. Your biggest thing was that, in English, it didn't rhyme. But if you took Q Tip verses and wrote them in Spanish, guess what...it wouldn't rhyme. It was the look of sarcasm and the dude on our right saying WE JUST GONNA TALK THROUGH HIS VERSE.
Send out a link to your music. I would love to hear if you guys even come close to Coast Contra WHERE DEM BARS AT FAM!!??

@@johnbooker7153 you sound like a hater lol you're not getting any more attention from me because you're trying to fight about what exactly? Cause we said they got a A? Because we said your favorite guy came in last? For saying he got busy once we could understand but the other guys were just in a different level? What you mad about?? You're emotional cause we didn't want to read a song? We at a point in hip hop where people saying you should listen and judge music off captions vs the feel, the flow, the bars, the rhymes, the syllables, etc... THAT'S how you supposed to consume music.. im sure my man who rapped in Spanish was well aware that the Spanish was for his Hispanic fans and he switched later for everybody else... which is dope within itself... but you're emotional.. but if you want to hear me rap it's a video on the page called early morning bars.
The Spanish translations are literally on the screen when Rio Los spits...this dude with the braids 🙄😒🤨
I'm playing, this was a dope reaction. Y'all have brilliant taste!
🫡 💯
Bro...the translation for Rio Los's verse is right there...y'all need hooked on phonics 😂😂😂😂
Cosmic kev freestyle and scenario must watch, Rio definitely alternates in most songs
"Burning cd's off my Mac" was a double metaphor. First was burning actual cd's back in the day off of his Macintosh Computer (those of us old enough to remember doing that can relate and second Bernie Mac from the movie "Life"!! This ish is crazy! They have taken rap to a whole nother level with their double/triple/quadruple metaphors, rhyme scheme, versatility in delivery, they can literally rap off beat and make it on beat at the SAME TIME! Mannnn these fellas are FIRE!!!!!
22:15 lol a rhyme is a rhyme no matter what language someone speaks, maybe you're saying that the english translation doesn't rhyme?
Lol Yeah I think I was noticing that as I was trying to read and keep up, in Spanish it rhymes but not in English and vice versa I'm sure.
Rio’s verse in Spanish contains a lot of euphemisms and sayings that you only get if you do know Spanish. The English translation doesn’t capture that magic or the rhyme schemes. It just gives you a general translation.
You’re just like what these artists are talking about. You’re in a box and enjoy what you are social engineered to like. I’ll watch someone else’s reaction from now on.
bro do you want them to learn spanish on the spot or what? 😂
I've typed "grading scale reacts stop and breathe freestyle" into Google a dozen times by now waiting for this one!
Appreciate that 💯
They always remind me of the old busta rhymes and his old group “the leaders of the new school”. This one especially.
bro said im not finna read and rap it myself 😂
Now THIS is a real reaction.
They all brought it
Give Rios another listen or 3. All heart
But my lawd Ras was on point
I'll wait another 6 months if this is the result🔥
Hats off!
#sloclapnocap
Great reaction, yall need to react to their other freestyles you will not be disapointed.
We wasnt disappointed in this one lol it was 🔥
Them twins’ pen game is ELITE!!!! 🔥
they went crazy
You would understand what the third guy was saying if you read it 😆
Problem is, I listen to music I don't read it 😆
Right, even if you don't speak Spanish, you could feel Rios was killing that shit. And rapping uses approximate rhyme so it doesn't have to be the simple rhyme scheme you're into.
The reason they use subtitles is so people can catch the wordplay. This is actually the first freestyle where they translated Rio's verse. Up till now even the subtitles have been IN Spanish. I don't speak it but can catch words here and there but the dope part is that the Spanish words rhyme while the English does not. They reside in Cali so the Spanish connection for Rio works as well as in other countries around the world. Hip Hop is global, you got Emcees from every part of the globe and they don't rap in English.....
As we stated in the video.. just because we don't understand don't mean it wasn't good.. if someone from Japan started rapping I wouldn't understand it either.. don't mean it ain't good just mean I don't get it..I don't understand my woman complaining all the time either lol it's life
Everybody Spazz Rio verse is droppin Gems
this guy is Eric Jamal and is #1 in hip hop imo at this moment
“Connective tissue rapping” was fire 🔥 you need to make that a thing 😂
Yeah you should see them on the radio shows! They do all this live y’all! Just amazing breath control
Y'all need to look at their other videos
the guy with the dread is eric Jamal, the twins their father is a rapper from L.A. and the Spanish dude he raps in Spanish and English. They all nice that's what rap should be.
Lol , Rio part is so good. It’s definitely worth reading if you don’t understand Spanish also the voice he uses at the beginning I’m pretty sure it was a play off of the birds from the movie Rio as he said the birds tweet tweet a little before he uses that high pitched voice.
Also guys the beat they used was BREATHE by Q-TIP
It's called "Breathe and Stop".
Great review!
"it's not rhyming in our langauge" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! what???????????
The comment that homie with no hat made, not understanding Spanish, and not just appreciating a HIP-HOP artist that's multilingual, shows a lot of ignorance 🙄
I think to say "if u don't listen to music the way I want you to then your wrong" is pretty ignorant too 🤷🏿♂️, also me skipping his verse would have been me not appreciating an artist who's multilingual.
If i saw a request-reaction Genie i would spend all the three wishes on you guys reacting to their freestyle on “The Come Up Show”
It might be the best sit down freestyles of all time !!
it is a must video on all hip-hop heads reaction channels
We got you on that 💯
HE STAYED ON IT PERFECTLY
yeah, Rio is really good. I don't know why sometimes when they spaz out that he comes like soft it's whatever though there's so many music videos of them that you will get to see Rio shine the freestyle video I think it is where Eric Jamal goes crazy at the end Rio goes crazy at the beginning
Eric Jamal cadence / delivery is so creative and authentic.
Try Coast Contra It’s Different freestyle or Coast Contra Straightening freestyle or Coast Contra Never or Coast Contra Family Ties freestyle 🔥
The twins were the ones wearing green and they're also Rass Kass' kids
Gtfoh I didn't know that make so much sense now 🤯
@@AlmostJokingPod yeah man, I've followed everything they've put out and watched several interviews on them as well. Proper humble lads
And they ain't tryin to ride their pops coat tails. Kids and dad don't deny each other of course, but I like on both sides they lettin do they own thing
I heard people saying that they first wrote all of this and thats how they all knew when to say what at the same time. So if thats the case it is not freestyling, but just rapping.
Yeah ppl crazy if they think this was one take. I actually engineer too... this was most def pre recorded and they kept it sounding more natural vs studio quality. All the moving they were doing and how they was bumping mics you would've most def heard the difference in it .. still was dead dope though! To be real, it's what I would do too just for sound quality
Any one of them can and have had the best verse on any given Sunday! They all bring something different and brilliant to the collective!
A+👏🎆💯
Broooo Eric is the GOAT thats it. Every fucking BAR this man is wild everything verse I've seen him do.
He’s nasty!!!
That "many men" bar by RAS is crazy... took me like 10 listens to get that... 50 cent been to jail, jail cell size is usually be a 5 x 10 box, 50 cent had song called "Many Men"
I understand why he THINKS he isn't rapping cause you don't see that everyday
so disrespectful on rio verse
Lol no disrespect I like him but I jus didn't understand him cuz I don't speak that language
@@AlmostJokingPod it for sure was disrespectful. its not the fact that you where not feeeling his verse. it was that you said you know what well just talk over him because what does it matter any way. ill admit to being a coast contra stan but i never seen a reactor just talk over the verse because they couldnt under stand the langauge. at the very least you could apprecate the flow or just let it ride till it was done pause it and say i didnt really understand so i didnt like it but to talk over my man is something else
Some of ya gotta grow up.. if it was a baby rapping in gogo gaga I'm not going to trying to decipher it either lol it don't mean the baby wasn't giving you bars, we just don't understand it.. if you do cool... we don't...relaxxxxxx. nobody said he was wack
@@AlmostJokingPod With peace and respect, that dude not a baby. He using his native language to reach a whole other group of listeners and be a bridge to where he came from. As well as flowing in English. And he's ill in both languages. That being said, I aint ever looked at a masterful painting and shit on it because I didnt know how to paint. The man is doing more at a higher level than most, that's the reality.
@@AlmostJokingPodOf course you disrespected him. For Hip-Hop sake his verse was translated but you guys didn't even try to read but just felt disgusting and irritated by Rio's verse. It's too bad a behavior.
I wonder if rappers that do reactions, really think they can rap after listening to Coast
Yes 😆
Guys... coast is back...they left the goddamn solar system
More languages give you access to multiple ways of thinking and understanding. They surpass most limitations
Coast going down in history! Big Facts 💯
RAS the second guy and Taj the last guy are twins. Their dad Rass Kass (old school rapper). The first guy Eric Jamal (from Philly). Rio Los (from Colombia) is the 3rd guy. All fire
Coast Contra rabbit hole now!!!! Then I’ll be awaiting some new vids 🫡🫡
AHHHH LUCKILY THIS ISNT MY FIRST VIDEO OF YALL REACTING TO COAST CONTRA SO THE FACT I ALREADY KNOW YALL DIDNT READ RIOS LYRICS I CAN OVERLOOK. NOW HAD THIS BEEN MY FIRST REACTION OF YALL TO THEM ID BE HEATED LIKE THE REST OF THE COMMENT SECTION; but it’s hilarious seeing the latest coast reaction 🫡🫡🫡 DONT DISRESPECT RIO!!!!
Fire reaction: You guys should check out the freestyle they did on Cosmic Kev 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“I don’t know what he’s saying”
- Speaking on a verse that includes subtitles 😂 Jokes write themselves. Def no weak link on this one.
Put respect on RIO.
I do respect Rico his Contradictions verse is 🔥
The twins are Rass Kass sons
I usually just watch Harry Mack reactions but you guys are sooo entertaining that I have to support more of your content. 🔥🔥🔥
Salute... you check out the podcast. If ya think we're entertaining in these reacts, don't cheat yourself on the podcast!!!
Best reaction ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You two got great chemistry
The Best is yet to come.. Greatness Personafide
These dudes 🔥🔥🔥. Back to the essence.
Willful ignorance is the mark of stupidity.
You can give a dummy a book... Cant make 'em read. 📚
Ras can rap every witch Way every shape and form out there lol and it's always on beat rio needs more love as well he's bilingual his first language to Spanish and he's still out wrapping half the people in this country in English his second language lol but he's also the compass of the group his the glue he normally raps real shit
One thing I've done foolishly in my youth was deny other languages just cuz i couldn't understand them at the time. but soon realized that knowing many languages opens so many doors for great opportunities. Im hispanic and i denied learning spanish and i regret it cuz now they demand you learn it today! I wish i had somebody to tell me how foolish i was to just stick to english lmao... moral of the story is never be afraid or prideful to learn new things. cuz it might be beneficial in the end.💪🏾😎👍🏾
There are lyrics on the screen for you to be able to understand what he is saying. Just got to take the time to appreciate the art sometimes 🙌🤷
The Spanish you just heard Rio drop was DOPE.(its also in English subs lol )period don’t get to lost on the meaning, just dig the phrasing. Also Español? Is an enormous language deal with it Each one of them is like an infinity stone 🤛🏾 PS I like how you kept them full screen and you two small. Unlike other reaction vids who do the opposite.Sweet
The guy was talking like the bird that was talking to him in his story. The rio slander has to stop lol
Damn, y'all really disrespected Rio!😫 "Let's go ahead and talk 'cause I don't know what he's sayin."🙄 WTF?😡 The lyrics are literally right in front of you.....in English! It's kinda racist to say you only liked the English verse. I'm sure the Latinos will appreciate that! The rest of your reaction was a blast!💥 I enjoyed it mucho (that means a lot).😂 Sorry, I couldn't resist!🤭 Coast Contra🔥is different.💯 There ain't nobody like them doin' this old school rap with lyrical miracles line after line!🤪 Shout out to Q-tip for this beat!👍I don't think this was a true freestyle either 'cause the ad libs were clearly rehearsed. But I don't care.....this was REAL RAP!🔥🤗❤️✌️
If you can’t understand what he’s saying just read the fucking subtitles, disregarding an entire verse because you don’t want to use your eyes doesn’t make any sense
Did ur boi jus get outta tha feds ? 😂
🤣 🤣
They are a set they are just that good
