POKEMON CYPHER 2016 (REACTION!)

[@lionheartz1337]

I swear to god if its Scru who finally unlocks CTC's potential and gets him to drop an ep the world gonna burn down

[@m3on08]

the GOAT needs to return

[@m3ngler315]

Talking about CTC: "THIS MAN SO OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A STAR" Everyone: SCRU, WE KNOW. WE BEEN SAYIN THIS.

[@bruceosnoe7376]

CTC's Flextape is 🔥🔥🔥

[@christopherwhaley6286]

Big fax.

[@zaki4800]

The asian guy is CTC aka young basedlord. He was also in the 2019 cypher. The Midwest chopper guy was shuetube, asian guy with insane punchlines was G yee, raspy voice guy was Matt Houston he also produced a lot of the beats

[@dragonshadowstorm]

no the raspy voice guy wasn't matt

[@stephenlansdowne3239]

Shuetube also is gas station encounters on youtube

[@ericofficially]

The Kez shoutout when he's not even rapping in this one. Oh Scru a real one.

[@rjs9228]

On god watching Scru react changed my mind about his verse, I really didn’t like the sound at first but once I sat down and listened to what he was saying, the man had BARS and I started liking the grimier feel

[@zemellion26]

He said some “UGH”

[@alexanderblack6619]

@@rjs9228 think for yourself homie i bet you watched some other reactor turning kez' shit off right away, it was always fire and if you couldnt recognize that you only got an ear for the rap you like and not rap in general

[@nathanreese1881]

:( now they don’t like each other much lol

[@TwoBsTwoTs]

@@nathanreese1881 I know it makes me sad. I talked to kez the other day, he knows it sucks but it is what it is

[@peytonalexander5300]

“Nah this a different guy.” Can’t even be mad. CTC really be sounding like a different person on every single song yet he’s always amazing.

[@gutbutter7304]

3:03 Shofu - the guy behind all the cyphers, a well known pokemon & smash youtuber for his playthroughs, competitive, and music. also has a pokemon mixtape "Trap Ketchum" along with his new album "Preseason, Vol. 1" and a new mixtape "Trap Ketchum 2" on the way 6:16 ibScoot - started pokemon cyphers with shofu back in 2011. usually streams on twitch with friends 10:03 PokeaimMD - one of the best battlers in the pokemon competitive scene, not a rapper 11:44 Haydunn - mostly known for his pokemon playthroughs, also not a rapper 13:00 Shofu the Beatdown - shofu''s brother, has mixtapes "#Gittem" and "#Gittem2" with familiar names 15:32 Trickywi - is mostly known for her pokemon top 10s, but she does appear on other cyphers like Zach Boucher's smash raps 17:09 RogersBase - has a podcast with shofu (Japan Time) but is primarily an anime youtube channel and is NOT A RAPPER 19:11 G. Yee - has a pokemon mixtape titled "Mt. Coronet" and is also (kinda) a competitive battler 21:09 ShueTube - runs the channel "Gas Station Encounters" and does rapping on the side 24:00 CTC (Yung Basedlord) - this dude is the saucy one. like @Keith Raymond said, he's too critical on himself to actually release music. he includes a lot of competitive pokemon bars, as he is also one of the top competitive players 27:50 Matt Houston - produces a lot of music for the cypher gang, also got top 13 in KSI's poppin challenge 30:46 VI Seconds - you already know, came up from anime raps and has made a name for himself in the "youtube rap" scene *If i got anything wrong, or should add anything please let me know!

[@nicobell3373]

CTC is probably on the same level as Pokeaim in regards to competitive pokemon. Also primarily features on other pokemon KZbin channels seeing he doesnt use his own. Revered in the pokemon community for his creativity and his bat shit trash talk

[@kazarsenault8803]

U forgot the most important fact about roger base and that’s the fact he’s not a rapper

[@Cloudson97]

TrickyWi can also be found on other cyphers like Zach Boucher’s smash raps. I believe she’s on part 2 and part 3, might just be part 3

[@gutbutter7304]

@@kazarsenault8803 lol how could i forget

[@rjs9228]

Roger still out-barred some of the rappers Imo dude

[@Liex59]

CTC: Has an "in the cut" bar every cypher Scru: is that the same guy? Nah its not

[@Wukeep]

React to Shofu’s trap Ketchum album. Mainly, “I don’t understand”

[@MultiMarioman12]

Cant like this comment enough. Listen to all of it tbh Would love to see Shofu make more real music, hes one of the best rappers on the platform also wanted to add, shofu put together a mixtape of all his singles and released it just a couple of days ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5C1XqmBgtR1Y9E Every track is good

[@Wukeep]

Gary Smith Ik but that specific song is fucking fire, Peso Pete snaps

[@trinidaddy]

@@Wukeep also z move, since scru wanted to "get his (ctc) spotify link" lmao

[@Nickkkk043]

Gary Smith also Z move which has the “Asian dude”

[@jamesbailey4304]

I think we should tell him about the verlis diss track tbh

[@LloydFreakingIrving]

CTC is the Asian dude that is DRIPPIN with sauce, he is on all 3 pokemon cyphers and a lot of people think he has the best verse in all 3 of them, he's easily the fan favorite (for obvious reasons, dude is a god). He has some solo music but he deleted them because he's very critical on himself, but you already know the dude was putting out straight fire. Not only all of that but he is also a legend in the actual competitive pokemon scene, dude has made so many teams that changed the metagame. He also uses his literally unrivaled knowledge of competitive pokemon in his bars, so thats why a lot of them are hard to get, but if you do understand them the depth of the bars are legit insane. Dude's deadass just a fucking legend in our little corner of the internet, fucking GOAT.

[@m3on08]

Young baselord is the GOAT

[@whentington]

Scru, everyone on this cypher is in the description, in order too, and their socials, it goes: Shofu Scoot Pokeaim Haydunn Beatdown (he’s also shofu’s older brother) TrickyWi Rogersbase G. Yee Shuetube CTC Houston And shizz Sorry for long comment, P.S react to trap Ketchum

[@bigchillin4216]

He should also maybe talk to Shofu about hopping on Trap Ketchum 2 if Shofu hasn't finished it yet

[@whentington]

He probably already is but if he gets on he’s only gonna have gen 1 references

[@torcheded495]

bruh i'm so excited to watch this because ik cypher gang gonna react to it and i rly want collabs between y'all lmao

[@Toineuchiha]

Lmao same

[@Metronome_99]

Could you imagine the energy between scru and beatdown?

[@thedopdeity]

That pause to praise Kez out of nowhere had me rolling

[@MePsyYa]

The litten bar was to Nice kezura whole energy when he was snapping was to cold tbh

[@rmsgirl3180]

2016 was my favorite Pokémon cypher....Right up until 2019 dropped. Some verses on 2016 I really love over a few on the 2019 cypher but overall, in my opinion, 2019 is the best. But that’s just my opinion.

[@Miracle7SSF2]

At 11:07 it's actually a double entendre, Drop a draco like shooting a gun and dropping a draco being a reference to a Pokemon move called "Draco Meteor", also the phrase "Drop a draco" is like a meme/catchphrase in his channel

[@jokoninja124]

There is the indigo cypher if you wanna see it. It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@flyguyfam3438]

I don’t hear nearly enough people talk about that one, it’s straight 🔥

[@_kingvoro]

Yesssssss

[@Kbanz198]

They flowed crazy on that one!

[@TheRandomThings23]

Hey Scru, the asian dude (CTC) has put out a bunch of music before but he deleted all of his stuff because he's relatively self-conscious of his work and generally comparing himself to other people so he never thinks it's good enough. People like shofu have tried to get him to understand that his stuff is heat. The stuff you said just reinforces the facts we've been trying to say this entire time

[@lkmpmegazord]

Bro you gotta react to G Yee Mt. Coronet album that was asian dude with crazy punchlines Asian dude with glasses was CTC but unfortunately he's like really self conscious about his music he never has released like anything (even tho he always snappin) And also react to Shofu's album Trap Ketchum he's making the second rn and the whole album is great I think you'll really like I Don't Understand for the energy, Kami Clouds for the vibes and Z-Move bc it has CTC and it just bangs but please react to the whole thing.

[@TheRyujinLP]

I remember the fist time I heard Z-Move it didn't even dawn on me at first it was about Pokemon, I thought it was just a straight banger. Then it slowly dawned on me, holy shit! This banger is bout pokemon! But for real CTC should be a household name. Not only does he have the venom, he's got that charisma.

[@jackorymcsimmonds2526]

Bro. CTC is the cypher GOAT tbh, I love everyone in these and Kez's verse in 2019 is one of the best rap verses I've heard in years. But on 2013, 2016 and 2019 CTC is easily a top 3 verse, probably the best. Easily the most consistent in these cyphers.

[@gaberobison680]

G. Yee and VI Seconds are better but he’s just super funny

[@spicelord812]

I love how he still on Kezura.

[@jameyknapp9299]

Yeah that next dude was CTC from the 2019 version

[@jameyknapp9299]

"He Kill'd that!" Shuetube from the 2019 version

[@fillphd]

I love Scru now. You’re not judgemental or elitist cause you’re a rapper and they’re not. Everyone should be more like you man much love

[@jameyknapp9299]

Matt placed in the Poppin' cypher, Scru. FYI

[@vonnnie005]

Jamey Knapp oh yeah, I knew the name sounded familiar!

[@zeenthescene]

I want to see you on Shofu's next cypher.

[@Its_an_Eze]

It's gonna happen lol

[@kellergilbert]

“In other words you’re sappy son, Nosepass backwards” was the one the had me fuckin DEAD. So much talent in one video lmao

[@Thomas_Bjornsson]

Scru, pokemon cyphers are every 3 years 2013, 2016, 2019, next one is 2022

[@angelicwarrior118]

Imagine what the lineup will be next year.

[@PeeBeeAndJasan]

on top of what you caught, CTC also said "Or Lando will sweep you like I miss Dwight" like the Orlando Magic when Dwight left em, fire bar

[@andrewodinson3726]

Scru, do NOT miss out on the Indigo Cypher. It's basically a Pokemon Cypher 2017 (same people) and it's just audio, but it's fire.

[@TonsOfPax]

They recorded that one at the Pokemon World Championships 2016, so that's why so many Pokemon fans were around. Obvi those guys were all fans of the cypher gang to get stuff signed, but man it made the video so good. 100% tho you've gotta work with Matt Houston, Shofu, Shofu Tha Beatdown, G.Yee, CTC, Scoot, and hell any of the others that aren't rappers but they got it.

Three more Scru: 2013 Pokemon Cypher The Cypher Encore The Indigo Cypher

[@waylonthomas5571]

The Asian guy is CTC and his song with Shofu called “Z-move” is pure heat

[@lukequintero1905]

Let this man know. The very last line is “wherever YOU ARE, SEE US and you just heard it from the God” Arceus is the God Pokémon. Hardest bar of the cypher.

[@chrisb8698]

(newton berry) 1000% agree about CTC. He really is a star, just didn't have the right launch to get viral. he works crazy hard on his stuff and it shows. It's super easy to see him be a thing in any other universe. idk how to get him there but he needs to be.

[@robertwasik9715]

CTCs verse is so fire it's clipped as its own video. Shofu is always top-tier but jfc his kick-off verse here is nuts. Always gets me hype af. "Encore on my verse cuz you gon leave my shit on Repeat." Shizzy's flow is crazy, especially over that crazy Mach speed beat they had goin on. And that MUTHAFUCKIN HO-OH BEAT behind Beatdown's verse is some Thanos arrival shit. Some fucking Behold My Grandeur shit. That Sephiroth shit. Inspiring a fuckin Mongol empire shit.

[@UltimateDrDoom]

Scru getting deep in nerdcore might be my new favorite thing.

[@shaymcdermott3434]

Yoooooooo respect for Joey Draco bar hahaha its a classic

[@edemaae7]

React to Flex like Machamp.

[@juggernaut1011]

so much yes

[@blisterizerpl6351]

Everyone like this is. Scru needs to react to Shofu’s Trap Ketchum song “Z-Move” with CTC. With how much he likes CTC, this needs to happen lol @Scru Face Jean also, Newton Berry lmao

[@trinidaddy]

Listen to "Z move" by shofu, it has the dude you liked, his name is CTC

[@yokisalcedo1108]

You should definitely react to the 2013 cypher!

[@Metronome_99]

G. Yee and Shuetube are both from the Midwest and have a song together called Midwest Mean Look. G Yee’s entire Mt Coronet album is also pretty great Newtonberry

[@AshesMade]

YES! I’m so excited for this reaction. You should definitely check out shofu’s album Trap Ketchum. It’s straight 🔥

[@BarqsGotBite]

Here may be the pokemon cypher 2013 left but there is the indego cypher that needs to be reacted to that came out just after pokemon cypher 2016

[@brett1908]

Also there are 2 more cyphers other than the 2013 one they are called “indigo league cypher” and “Pokémon cypher encore” Pokémon cypher encore doesn’t have many people on it but it’s still fire

[@ultimateblaze23]

"You already know that shit fire...PUT ME ON THE CYPHER"

[@shoji4234]

CTC still killed it more in 2019 but he's always been the goat.

[@bluej1258]

I'm surprised i haven't seen it mentioned but shofu has a whole project titled Trap Ketchum which is all pokemon related raps. Definitely worth checking out, it features a lot of the same people on the cyphers

[@ajsneadii6765]

"Came in Krumpin... arms swinging like an Elekid!!!" BAAAAAARZ!!!!

[@danielchan9401]

React to Nike On My Body by TokenBlack

[@bigchillin4216]

Scru you should check out Pe$o Pete as well, he was in the 2019 cypher right after Tokenblack. He has a lot of music on spotify and tracks with shofu on shofus channel, its really fire

[@jude96]

The finally of CTC, Matt Huston, and VI Seconds will always make me put this cypher as the best among the 3 pokemon cyphers. that combo of them having the 3 back to back i feel exhausted everytime i finish listening to them

[@Degenerick]

Btw you reacted to matt houston’s poppin challenge. It was the top 13 one with vi seconds

[@UltimateDrDoom]

Yeah but that was hobo Matt Houston.

[@Kreamations]

Love this guy. Nice video. Also, at 7:09 he sounds like the guy from scary movie hahaha

[@tewfeek8234]

Ctc and shofu got a leaked song that’s fire. Check it out

[@t3rR0r2z]

this is absolutely one of the best

[@rjs9228]

I find it hilarious when Scru is about to freak out at a total fuckin BAR, then he just looks at the camera like “I needa shut the fuck up” and just plays the video. I died laughing EVERY TIME SMHHH😂😂 Scru you hella funny I can’t wait for you to join #CYPHERGANG and unleash shenanigans

[@Akkuseru]

I REALLY recommend you watch the 2016 Cyper Encore on G Yee's channel, it only has a few of the people here but it's absolute fire, it's titled only as "Pokemon Cypher Encore"

[@SlugmaChops]

they filmed this one at during pokemon worlds in san francisco so theres a bunch of fans everywhere

[@nick2mobile703]

Side note: you definitely check out “Pokémon cypher encore” But yeah everything you’re sayin is so true, can’t wait to see you in the next cypher

[@eeveescloset]

You need to react to Shofu's album, "Trap Ketchum". A lot of these guys are a part of it, and you can listen to some of the absolute fire songs they made around this time! (Just search it up on KZbin, really!) Not only that, but you should really hit up that gang and try and be a part of it/get involved with them. These guys have been underrated for a long time (in terms of the mainstream KZbin community), and all of this support you're giving them is making people like me (who's been a fan of them for way longer than I knew about the whole "KZbin Rappers Community") incredibly ecstatic! Just like you said, too, most of these guys would seriously put most of these "KZbin Rappers" to complete shame. Lmao

[@princedreadhead88]

The girl that was going off her name is Shelby aka TrickyWi

[@VanillaBoogie]

Ctc been the goat. Glad I found ya thru him scru, stay welll and do ya thing. TM43. TOO HEAT

FAAAAAAAMMMM i was SEARCHING for someone else who clocked that 👊🏾❤️‍🔥

[@kainoapacarro9083]

Yeah Scru you really gotta check out Beatdown’s music. Especially the shit with him and G.Yee together they match each other’s energy so much

[@mikeparker1454]

Their is another cypher that is called Indigo cypher, it was after the 2016 cypher for chronological purposes

[@JustGoodwine]

I still rep and wear my Drop a Draco hoodie still. This Cypher happened during Pokemon worlds as well thats why you see a bunch of fans.

[@nixx7912]

Beatdown the Busta Rhymes? We need that 90’s fish eye lens then lmao

[@HaZecool]

we've been trying to tell ctc he's good for a long time

[@slevin003]

Young Baselord, CTC, IDM are the monikers for the dude you were asking about. Same as the dude from 19 you were hyped on. He has a bootlegged mixtape on youtube you can find, but he deleted all his stuff apparently bc he felt like he could do better? Idk i found him through your reaction video and had the same reaction. I need a full length LP from the dude, also need to hear a collab with the scru too.

[@slevin003]

bc i really wanna see that collab happen, took the extra step. his twitter is @YoungDanklord

[@jnf10596]

@Scru Face Jean That dude you said was choppin is named ShueTube. He said it at the beginning of his cypher.

[@soulspiritghost2021]

React to the "Ctc x shofu song preview". It goes crazy, you will not be disappointed

[@luckywez1up]

Other than 2013 cypher, you still got the indigo cypher too, lovin the reactions

[@dorohime7001]

CTC was the guy you were freakin out about. The dude's a fuckin natural. He was also that guy from the 2020 cypher who switched up his beat Absolute legend

[@TheRealHypervizor]

The Italian dude who went after Scoot is Joey PokeaimMD. He's one of the best Pokemon battlers around period. He has a catch phrase where he says "Drop a Draco" since during Gen5 - Black and White days. He was known for using Latias and Latios on his team and using the move Draco Meteor. The fajita reference is for a long running series called Heatah Fajita that he started with CTC and Thunderblunder777 where they use pokemon that are thought to be weak competitively or use uncommon movesets but still cop wins on the Pokemon Showdown ladder. Unfortunately almost all of the episodes have been removed/made private likely due to how offensive they were.. CTC manages to offend every demographic whenever he talks.

[@thelegendarybdawgg1302]

"Or Lando will sweep you like I miss Dwight" Bruh.
