[REACTION] "POKEMON RIVAL RAP CYPHER" by Cam Steady | Review by Mat4yo

[@Mat4yo]

Hope you enjoyed this Cypher! Check out my latest rap song about #PokemonBrilliantDiamond and #PokemonShiningPearl and let me know what you think!

[@saajiddaya2152]

I just realized when I watched the video when it dropped, but I wanted to comment that Blue's rhymes this cypher were the same as they were for the champion cypher. Like, "cool dude blue, etc."

Great breakdown of the cypher my guy, also thank you for showing love to that last line not many caught it

Honestly, your reaction/review is half of what I look forward to with these cyphers. I've been checking every day since the video came out XD And glad to see YOU repping my favorite gen, you did amazing. the second I heard the "sick spitting" bar I knew I was in for a ride, and I think that's one of your best cyphers so far.

[@Mat4yo]

Aw that's too sweet! Glad I could bring it to you. Glad you dug my verse also!

[@hiyapatil5379]

When I say that I saw this cypher for the first time and YELLED in excitement, I mean it. I love everything you guys have done, and you always, always make raps incredible. Thank you so much for this!

[@Mat4yo]

Ahh so cool! That's why we do it!

[@Kris_King]

You, Cam and Chi Chi were amazing as always. These cyphers keep getting better

[@Mat4yo]

Much appreciated 🙏

[@ShinyMew888]

"Gen 3 is the best Gen" Facts my dude I adore Wally (he's tied with Cheren for my favorite of the rivals) so I was so hyped when his intro card popped up and it listed 'Mat4yo' as his rapper. Always appreciate these breakdowns, I get a most of the pokemon flips and puns but when it comes to some of the other things it's nice to have some help haha Very excited to see what comes next!

[@Mat4yo]

Glad you were excited!! There is much more to come!

[@kylespevak6781]

2:53 omg I wish I had that

[@ElSSBM]

Idk why but chilling with Mat4yo just seems like it'd be such a chill time or the most fun time of your life.

[@Mat4yo]

Ask Cam he will verify XD

[@KingCorphish]

Killed it, man! 🙌🏻

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks Ryan!

[@zenithlock]

Mat4yo your verse was so good i put it on loop for 10 times i loved this breakdown

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks buddy!

I feel like every Johto character in all the cyphers tell stories: Ethan and Silver

[@majinsole8554]

Awesome breakdown, good sir. Love your review/analysis. One small tidbit that I believe needs correction though. On MegaRan’s verse the “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop- ‘96 Bad Boy” I do not believe it was a reference to the movie in particular but rather to that phrase being their mantra of sorts that is recited in some way in many of their songs in the 90s, with ‘96 being the year they were founded and started to blow up. There is only one song by one of their (at the time) artists that had that as an official title, but that came out about 2 years after founding and I don’t believe is the specific reference either. Just a little brain wrinkle generator for ya! ~_~

[@Mat4yo]

Well, certainly the movie title was influenced by the mantra itself, so they lead back to the same origin of reference! Thanks!

[@jediclonekag13]

Cam Steady's verse for Barry and Chi-chi's verse for Shauna were definitely my 1st and 2nd favorites. Still, your verse for Wally was amazing.

[@Mat4yo]

Can't argue!

[@loganspagooblio1197]

Its awesome to see a breakdown of this cypher. Loved your verse in it

[@Mat4yo]

Appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out

[@marvsbolt2401]

I've been waiting for this ever since it came out! Thanks for another breakdown Mat!

A remake of the sinnoh rap? Well my day has just gotten better!!!

[@Mat4yo]

Haha you're close but that's not the project!

[@flameslayer3110]

Ohhhhhh,myyyyyy,gooodnesss!! The lyricism and breakdown and writing involved is insane!! Man, thank you so much for this , not only to catch up on pokemon but also your cool content. Keep it up!👍👍

[@Mat4yo]

Glad you checked it out!!

[@Twoswordsdrizzt]

That Blade Runner bar was badonkulous. I've seen the cypher like 100 times, and every reaction to it besides the people on it, and NOBODY has caught that.

[@TheActualGod]

I'm sure you caught it, but ty said "colress how this magnum might (magnemite) spark when I'm finished counting down" 🔥🔥🔥

[@jaim8147]

I'm always so amazed with the way you write, is amazing. Like how? The Willy ver was fantastic! 👏🏻✨

[@Mat4yo]

Too kind! Thank you

[@danielvaladez1286]

I LOVE your breakdowns was waiting for this

[@Mat4yo]

Sweet! Enjoy

[@300IQPrower]

Tardier than Lucas but I had to drop by to say this has gotta be the hardest i’ve ever heard you go. The moment that sci-fi and Altaria combo hit, I knew the entire cypher was about to get taken up a notch or twelve. I was right. …unlike now, when I thought after two months I might’ve finally caught every bar and you STILL proved me wrong-

[@Inqroot]

Oh! I love seeing these videos! Even if I'm familiar with the pokemon franchise I still enjoy listening to you break down the cyphers lol

[@Mat4yo]

That's true dedication

[@dovahsblight7677]

It seems like Chi-Chi is able to do Shauna and May's voices on point. But I honestly can't decide wether your (Mat4yo's) verse or Chi-Chi's verse is my favorite, they're legitimately tied for my favorite verses in this cypher. Mat4yo you always seem to put a smile on my face with your reactions!

[@Mat4yo]

My smile is just as wide! Thank you!! (Chi Chi's May = perfection)

[@heroicdragon]

I really felt garry's verse at the end, especially the electric guitars that come in at the end.

[@HafstepHQ]

Keep it up man! Super insightful and I love seeing the passion you have for it all, as well as the way you construct your verses which I think are always top tier. Plus some peeks behind the curtain! Can’t wait for your next project!

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks for staying tuned! More to come !

[@TheJustAlek]

Aye! Loved your Wally verse and your breakdowns for each verse!

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks a bunch!

[@SloppyJoe-iu8xo]

I swear ur an amazing rapper and u and cam steady are the best rap duo

[@X-35173]

To this day my favourite line in any Cypher was from Rosa's verse in the trainer Cypher: "Be a champion, play it right and make it rain" The ref to making money while also being a game mechanic is obvious but it's more than that BW2 introduced Drizzle Politoad which became an instant top tier and and was a major contributing factor in the gen 5 weather wars. They didn't just reference rain, they referenced rain in the game where it was at it's most overpowered and meta defining! But what I love most is that the reference was an *accident!* I never heard anyone else address the line and I eventually messaged Hala on Twitter and asked if that bar was on purpose and she admitted that it was a fluke after I explained the meta game part.

[@Mat4yo]

There's always more meaning to apply to lyrics when they are interpreted by different points of view!

[@beegreen249]

Yes, I've waited for this
