RIO DID A WICKED MATH SCHEME AND NO ONE CAUGHT IT.. fibonacci sequence--pure genius... Eric was all Bars... Taj was showing growth ..Ras was all 3rd Eye
🧢🧢 can’t be verse of the year when the song came out months ago y’all should get on EVEN they release music on there it allows independent artist to get the full revenue no shady shit. They dropped on they either end of October or end of November.
Facts. He said it twice. I hope they read this comment and listen to Rio's verse again. It changes the perspective to know that Rio is the one whose sister is battling. My prayers to them for continued strength, peace and grace!
agree the so fire as a group! I think Eric is my fav generally then the twins Taj and Raj than Rio. That being said this is super generalized Taj and Raj def have had the best verses before too in a vid for my own taste. Either way they all surprise me and have had their shine of great moments. Real hip hop threw and threw.
here's what chatGPT says about the fibonacci part from Rio's verse: CHATGPT: Sure, let’s dissect the part about Fibonacci in the song “AYO” by Coast Contra: The lyrics go: "They self-centered but missing heart, that’s the problem, shit. They spiraling out like Fibonacci. This shit fye/phi, that’s why the numbers don’t lie, G"1. Self-Centered but Missing Heart: This line could be a critique of individuals or artists who are self-absorbed but lack depth or emotional substance in their work. Spiraling out like Fibonacci: The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, usually starting with 0 and 1 (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, …). It’s known for its spiral pattern when plotted graphically. This line could be a metaphor for how things are spiraling out of control, much like the exponential growth seen in the Fibonacci sequence. This Shit Fye/Phi: “Fye” is slang for “fire,” often used to describe something as cool or awesome. However, “phi” is also the Greek letter used to represent the golden ratio (approximately 1.618), which is closely related to the Fibonacci sequence. This could be a clever play on words. Numbers Don’t Lie: This is a common phrase used to emphasize the truth or undeniable facts, often used in the context of statistics or data. In the context of this song, it could be interpreted as their music’s authenticity and impact being undeniable, just like the mathematical truth of the Fibonacci sequence. Remember, song lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, and this is just one possible interpretation. The beauty of music is that it can resonate differently with everyone1.
Loved erics verse, arguably top 3 the hardest verses ive ever heard, and rios verse hit deep and really connected heavy. Prayers for his sister. Keep your head up Rio
Brilliant reaction. Catch every scheme they spit upon first listen which is toughhhh. Love Ras verse, incredibly original and resonates deeply but they all killed, hiphop can't die with these heads together. Peace boys, I'll see you for the next coast drop.
Listened to this song within an hour or so of it dropping and instantly thought "I wonder what Ryan and George will get out of this." Is such an incredible song. Cheers, fellas.
Been waiting for y’all to do this one. Peep their album fellas. Y’all are the first ones that caught the “table” reference, every other reactor thinks turntables.
Ok, so I am third through this reaction and already I believe in you two so much more than many other 'reactors' I have seen. Big props to both of you ✊️
Rio was talking to himself in the mirror and he made the beat and produced the video!!! Put some respect on Rio. Yall complained about the Spanish, so he didn’t speak Spanish and now yall still complaining.
You fellaz have the reaction Vids I appreciate. I saw this Contra track when it dropped... And easily the best piece of musical & visual art I will see this year👏🏽🎇. I'm in my 40's and to hear this group flex their creative muscle is just satisfying & there's no platform where they will b fully appreciated, sadly, except non-Mainstream! Bravo to them
Always love these Coast Contra reactions from you two, seeing you in your element is awesome. Typically only have enjoyed the freestyles from CC but this song goes hard! Eric's verse especially will stick with me for a very long time
Eric gave us the bar heavy story telling lyrical side of hip-hop, Taj gave us the come up bragging side of hip-hop, Roi gave us the real life struggle side of hip-hop and Ras gave us the introspective thought provoking side of hip-hop
I love coast contra.. Rass Kass did well with his blood line .. these guys are taking west coast underground to another level… this reminds me of the wake up show artists in the 90s on steroids.. much love to coast.. the are destined for greatness
21:01 Rio said "This sht PHI, that's why the numbers don't lie G" Phi is the Golden Ratio which is what the ratio between two consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches. Fibonacci sequence is the addition of the previous two numbers in the sequence starting with 1 and 1. Sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,… Sequence Ratios a_(n+1)/a_n: 1,2,1.5,1.667,1.6, 1.625,1.615,1.619,1.618 Golden Ratio: (1+sqrt(5))/2 ≈ 1.618 This ratio is commonly found in nature and there are spirals in nature that surprisingly fit this sequence. He's referencing something called the Golden Ratio (which is referred to as the divine proportion) so he's saying the beat and/or his lyricism is so perfect, the numbers can't lie.
The song goes further into their inner self with each verse getting more personal as it progresses.. it's about the most outer music struggle(Eric) then the actual experience/struggle lived of it (taj) then the personal/family struggle (Rio) then the inner personality struggle(taj)
Yo guys - i dont think you quite got Ruo's verse: he wasn't talking about a friend of his, he was talking to himself in the mirror as he says at the start of the verse.
@ 15:05 I still have yet to see anyone comment on this dope bar." In Germany I created craft and had to go to Work." he's talking about the innovators of electronic music Kraftwerk they also used turntables and looping to make beats back in 1970 . so he's saying he's an innovator / creator . amazing bar.
Eric was definitely all bars, but Ras gave this life. His conscious battle and the Quotables!!!! "The Second Coming isevery second coming, living in the presences" "All my life I had to fight (color purple) the sight was right where god could see." These are lines that should be cataloged for generations to find and gain insight from.
Would you PLEASE 🙏🏾 be so kind as to create a COAST CONTRA playlist? I really enjoy how you brother's react. You guys have a great chemistry and take on lyrics! 🎉🎉🎉
@@divineeternally2502 I was trying to help you out. It seemed like you were looking for more of them and were having a hard time. I was just trying to help ya out.
@@Usurpationblitz Okay, while I appreciate the assistance...here's, the thing. These brother's have 1.24 millions subscribers and 32 playlists already. So, from a logistics perspective, if you're a supporter of COAST CONTRA why not do them the solid of making it easier for their fanbase to find their specific reactions in a folder? I don't know offhand which songs they've already reacted to, so rather than typing out each of CC's songs, hoping to find their reaction, if the reactions are in a folder (playlist), I can go down the list accordingly. It's really a subscriber courtesy that most channels take it upon themselves to do, for ease of access. Now, did that answer the "why" for you? If not, don't worry too much about it, as the request was directed at L.I.V. to begin with. But thank you and enjoy your day. 🤎
Even tho Eric Jamal's verse was a lyrical masterpiece with medical scheme... its his delivery that makes it stand out... 👏 👏 👏 . WHAT AN EXCELLENT START TO 2024.
This is a mighty reach, but I'm a fan of pro wrestling. "We need an IV, it's on us four to keep her stable," could also be for The 4 Horsemen since horses live in stables.
Love when you guys react to great hip hop. Sparks a deeper conversation about the things we all can relate to. You guys should react to their cosmic kev freestyle!
The scrubs scheme is actually a triple. its doctor scrubs, ignorant rappers, and spots that you have to scrub. These people pushing drugs on the youth are not only ignorant rappers, but also a stain on the culture that they have to scrub out with mask and gloves. just wild
Eric Jamal came out swinging on this track. Loved y'all breakdown of it. My man said, "We need an IV, it's on us 4 to keep her stable". Which Is a Fire line. Of course the hospital scheme with IV, but "IV" is the Roman numeral for 4 and he came right behind that and said it's on us 4..... FIRE!!!
The simple one EVERYBODY missed is Taj's line, "in Germany, I catered CRAFTS and had to Work", is in reference to the German group, Kraftwerk. I understand why most reactors would miss the reference as Kraftwerks biggest hit in America (to my knowledge) was in 1977 with the song ,Trans Europe Express. Yes, I'm an "Old" Coast Contra and hip hop fan.
What would've made Rio's verse harder for you guys is if you realized he was speaking to himself and reflecting. Learning to love himself
Yes sir, I was looking for this comment
Facts. People don’t catch it.
Could be a reach not only talking to himself but also the listener as a reflection of us all
Same. I wrote something similar then saw thjs comment. @@SapKenpachi
I don't understand how everyone misses that.
Check the arrangement of the song:
1st verse: Negative/Pessimistic/Dark
2nd: Positive/Hopeful
3rd: Dark/Sad
4th: Combo of both perspectives; starts positive, then negative, lastly positive.
...
This song is about life and the ups and downs one goes through which evident with lyrics, but a story is also being told in where each verse falls....these guys are next level...
This gave me more perspective! 🔥
Eric had so many bars with triple and quadruple meanings. Crazy. Rio's verse had the most emotional impact for me. The self-reflection was deep.
Rio was actually looking at himself in the mirror, checking in with self. It's actually his little sister so 🙏🏾rs up for Rio Loz! 💞 The last 20 seconds was an announcement for their merch drop BTW. 😉

“Tellem I said it, I verbatim” such a good triple.
1. Verbatim

They all went crazy as always, but Eric Jamal went totally nuts in this one.

Also, the Fibonacci links with the self-centered line as it also spirals inwards
nice catch!@@ReboneMora
Let’s get it… love these guys. Bringing REAL hip hop back
Loved erics verse, arguably top 3 the hardest verses ive ever heard, and rios verse hit deep and really connected heavy. Prayers for his sister. Keep your head up Rio
That first verse shook me to my core.
Fibonacci.. The sum of each number is equal to the two proceeding numbers. 0,1,1,2,3,5..
My fave breakdown channel by far. I was going insane how other guys missed Erics bars... you guys caught em... i appreciate that...
My man Rio's verse was him talking to himself in the mirror i really enjoyed that :)
I've been waiting for you guys to react to this. Thank you, Love from South Africa.
The Rio verse is not appreciated enough.
Jozi stand up
Brilliant reaction. Catch every scheme they spit upon first listen which is toughhhh. Love Ras verse, incredibly original and resonates deeply but they all killed, hiphop can't die with these heads together. Peace boys, I'll see you for the next coast drop.
Listened to this song within an hour or so of it dropping and instantly thought "I wonder what Ryan and George will get out of this." Is such an incredible song. Cheers, fellas.
that last verse was golden.
Bro. Ras flow at all times twists my brain it's amazing pocket he gets in
@@kingklassic3522 Honestly I think he's my favorite.. his skill, wordplay, and subject matter.
The IV four line is just out of this world
Thank you for getting to this.. Such a fire song..
Great reaction 👍 it’s already one of my favorites from you guys. I think you guys make great content, thank you and keep it up👌
Rio produced this beat and its lovely 😍😍 also its his own 14 year old sister that has cancer 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
YESSSSSSSS I've been waiting for y'all to react to this 😌
Been waiting for y’all to do this one. Peep their album fellas.
Y’all are the first ones that caught the “table” reference, every other reactor thinks turntables.
Best reaction and breakdown hands down thanks guys
They actually messed up on the Rio verse. He was talking about his life, not a friends life and that his little sister is the one battling cancer.
No one does it like y'all. Great breakdown.

I was about to say similar.
With the well known Pi, being a ratio used to calculate dimensions of circles/spheres
True, Indeed
I knew that hip hop holy ghost would hit y’all with this one
Eric came out strong like Katt Williams for the beginning of this year
You ain't neva lied! 😂🔥
Like Kat in the Championship of Comedy 😂😂
I swer he just said Championship as I was typing it.😮
Good Reaction Guys ❤.
That clear bar went even deeper, the reason the doctor yells clear is so every one eles steps back away from the metal table and dont get shocked!
Worth the wait…appreciate the you two🔥🔥🔥
Heard this on Spotify and ran to watch yall catch this message & enjoy this !!!! So balanced...great song!
