Gents- I absolutely love all of your guys reaction vids, especially for Coast. I think y’all missed a lot of meaning in Ras’ verse with the multiple personality and being self reflective of your higher and lower self, Erics vs was insane, and Rio produced the beat. i already know youve gone back and watched this over again and are seeing how fire it really is and seeing some of the stuff yall missed. 3 broccoli max 😂

[@Iwilldoyes]

Ras be kicking those metaphysical bars like no other... Taj too...

[@jarrettdillard3715]

Yea you trippin … ras by far had the best verse

[@imansherman1766]

Loved it

[@theomgboss]

Thank you he be too high sleeping on Ras. That was one of the deepest verses I've ever heard.

[@BeautifulBrainTrained]

WERE YOU AWAKE FOR E? RIO?!

[@jarrettdillard3715]

@@BeautifulBrainTrainedyes I was .. but ras is unmatched

[@photosxAR]

Last verse: I AM… is God. Just to add some context. Exodus 3:13-14 | John 8:58

[@tiffanyrena]

My thing is yall spent several minutes talking about anything but the song and breaking it down. The song was still stopped so just stop it every teo seconds and break it down since youre having random convo for a while anyways 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@AlmostJokingPod]

That’s what we do. Feel free to watch other ppl we do us we’re not trying to do others

[@tiffanyrena]

@@AlmostJokingPod I definitely do watch others but try to spread the love among other black content creators. Just say you're not very good at taking criticism constructive or otherwise.

[@AlmostJokingPod]

We accept mad criticism from those who understand what we do. We’re not trying to be other channels or do the content they do. People complain no matter what. Watch more reactions. We break down nothing but bars then we’re pausing too much. We don’t pause they think we’re missing bars. We don’t speak in between we’re not being us. So we don’t worry about every critique. You can’t when you making content. They either like it or they don’t. Hell we got a video where one of us dont talk and use signs to have fun with OUR audience. They all get it.

[@iamlovingawareness2284]

The last verse is the best. If homie didn’t feel like it in the first 10 seconds. It means he’s sleep. He has a standard. To each his own. But this group is trying to bring wisdom, not entertainment. “I am that I am” is Gods response to Abraham when he says “what are you”. If poking at that fact ain’t of ultimate importance than you are being brainwashed by the culture vultures . The essence of being/of our being means more than anything.

[@afscrew123]

Ok mr aware

[@ChefOG_Ra]

I dont know how he can dislike the first 8 😮‍💨 those are some meaningful and potent bars. Im just gonna assume that he didnt process them cuz theres not rational reason, in my mind

[@WarrenGdog28]

Also the dual Conscience rappin

[@LovelyAtom-mf8ru]

😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😂😂😂😂😂😂​@@afscrew123

[@PhoenixRise0101]

The hater in you can't respect Ras's higher self speaking, that's your lower self's vibration rejecting it.

[@amateurmusica]

"the second coming is every second coming" that bar is so fucking transcendently beautiful.

[@davidrobinson5970]

The fire part is Rios talking to himself. He starts off by saying he’s talking to himself.

[@christiansgathering4408]

They missed 90% of the song...Rio's math scheme was fire 🔥 most of these guys missed it..Ras was all 3rd eye vs lower self

[@BishopXLR]

Rio is for people who read. It aint the first time had and some bars so intellectually deep that most miss it

[@BenGreen1980]

The fact that y'all completely forgot Taj already had his verse at 21:00 is all that needs to be said about that.

[@timothyprice8305]

The beginning when they are counting is them giving Hip hop CPR chest compressions

[@lamontwest6037]

Ras was talking in 2 forms. His higher self and lower self. His verse was dope! Lol,u also acknowledged Taj verse but just 4got. The Jimmy Fallon bar u said u were gonna Google it. U was lit! 😂

[@AllSurgedOut]

Y'all catch that Rio made the beat for this one?

[@340_ISLANDBOI]

Rio made this beat

[@CoolHandLukeDuke]

Most people get fucked up and see double...my dude here is seeing single

[@Bre-dm8go]

Been waiting on this let's goo

[@jalengibson3807]

Ras literally had the best verse top to bottom

[@andersg.8202]

"Dont think we miss stuff just cus we laughin and shit..." 2 minutes later: "I missed a whole rap bro??" lool

[@AlmostJokingPod]

He missed not US 😂 he be hiiiiiiiiiii

[@kedwin79]

Verbatim/verb bait them/verb ate ‘em/verb bate ‘em

[@maakevaka1921]

Guy's talk too much about yourselves listen 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@xMrPAINTx]

The "IV, its us 4" bar......the Roman numeral for FOUR is IV.......you fittin on telling us you got THAT one....... 🤔

[@davidsmith2909]

Wretch 32 & Avelino - Fire in the booth

[@BenLinus2342]

Craig so focused on hating he forgot Taj already rapped hahaha just playing love yall reactions

[@dtfwilliams]

You guys are absolutely hilarious! Because you're so familiar with each other, your jabs and insights go deeper - iron sharpens iron. I had to put up the broccoli plates recently bc I've got teenage boys I'm not trying to be losing arguments to. 🤷

[@jkey7342]

Avelino & Dave - Cassius Clay is a must!!

[@yungfellaquan1]

Eric verse was hard but ras had the hardest verse he trippin talking bout he didn’t like it

[@yungfellaquan1]

Yall kinda miss rio verse oss i think yall missed that he was actually talking to himself

[@DallasSlicc]

Yooooo, I know this ain’t a channel for this artist BUT from y’all’s this why I’m single statements lol might be able to relate a lil bit… Youngboy - Cage Feeling 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@bryansimpson9858]

The truth is, they couldn’t cut it so they use staples. Meaning they use a few people or ideas/narratives to hold the wounds of hip hop together. In my opinion

[@reginaldgreen5983]

Y’all definitely missed that cancer scheme because I know y’all would of went crazy when you heard it

[@jjggww77]

Fire!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@edgewoodzgimp13]

Never apologize for pausing too much!

[@ness35tc]

Eric Jamal is just different

[@alamoerick]

Peace peace gentleman, another great video. But I just wanna point out the fact that you guys really break down and respect the bars. I’m not a rapper, but I do dabble in production. When I listen to other reactors react to the coast, they miss a lot of the bars and don’t put respect or should I say enough respect on the bars that they do catch. You guys pretty much catch90% of the bars and you give them their proper respect which is very respectable. Appreciate you and keep up the good work Imma oldhead but I’m starting to like this young generation again due to the coast

[@AlmostJokingPod]

They’re next level lyricist. It would be 2 hours breaking every thing down but yeah they are most def keeping it alive

[@lyniyahmystique1907]

I really love y’all, keep shining Kings 🫶🏾🫶🏾.. sending love from Jersey

[@AlmostJokingPod]

❤️appreciate you Queen

[@reginaldgreen5983]

Did you guys ever do the never freestyle

[@reggie286]

Great review and breakdown.. Can you guys go back and do a breakdown on Coast Contra - Queen and Slim track. Many folks didn't know they had track in the Queen and Slim movie.. These brothers have been putting in that work. It's good to see their hard work paying off.

[@terrylynch555]

Gotta ANOTHER one for you cats. React to Locksmith new freestyle on Sways Universe...🔥🔥🔥🔥 You think Coast Contra was lit

[@Usurpationblitz]

Speaking of breaking down words, maybe you could try to use, "together," as, "to-get-her," since that's how it's spelled. Speaking in her ear a soft word, we're together because I went to-get-her Something like that, I'm not a rap artist, lol. I just like to break down words since that's how I learned to spell

[@chazbrown5800]

They did Never freestyle (Eric verse) and Legacy off the album on Fallon. Ras is a genius yo!

[@jarrettenglish873]

Y’all I’ve been waiting for a reaction from you guys thank you!!

[@scallywagdeef]

"Stop what ya doin"" by Apathy ft, Celph Titled is a dope old school type song

[@brandontoler2382]

Lezzzz goooooo

[@wb22gprix]

Yall probably seen it before, but you ever catch the Black Thought freestyle on Funk Flex? It's like five or six years old at this point but makes for a good react. Seems to drive decent views for channels still as well.

[@wb22gprix]

Oh and Coast fire as always, "the doctor come out and say 'hip hop didn't make it'" got me right in the feelings.

[@AlmostJokingPod]

Yep I saw the Black Thought joint. Try to stay away from stuff we watched. Or else ya would be watching all Fred the God freestyles 😂

[@fmlajohnson5307]

Red Bull jimmy falon

[@fmlajohnson5307]

Yes from laughing

[@milesreid6324]

i’m tryna hear y’all rap for sure 🤣🤣 curious to see if y’all listen to ransom at all. I think he the best rapper rn lowkey 👀 keep the reactions comin 🔥

[@AlmostJokingPod]

Hellll yeah! Ran one of the best out here. Bruh I go back to A-Team with Hitch days

[@AlmostJokingPod]

We both got bars on the page. Craig got a old joint on here “Sincere Life” and I got some bars at the end of one of the Harry Mack videos “Leen Enters the Chat”

[@michelangelotroccoli7748]

[@wb22gprix]
