THIS THE ONE! | POKEMON VILLAIN RAP CYPHER | Cam Steady ft RUSTAGE, NateWantsToBattle, Zach B & More

[@slothfulquagsire199]

Zach's Verse was so damn perfect for N... that dude is philosophical af.

[@ladeao1552]

Best narrative in a pokemon game yet. That gen was great and Zach was a perfect N.

[@athenaemiya3945]

For real

[@kingk32]

" The Truth is Ideal" did nobody see that truths reshiram ideals zekrom

[@boopboop9313]

My favorite part from him was "I find that heros are often more villainous"

[@Yuki_Ika7]

and the best part is that N had perfectly valid points too (both in game and in verse), to the point where i do not classify him as a Villain but rather as an antagonist with a valid philosophy and actions

[@300IQPrower]

“Super unorthodox flow” thats my fav part about the Guzma verse, how it’s super rough around the edges but goes hard all the same, just like the man himself.

[@fglm0017]

Guzma was my favorite. Like he said, I love how it was losing me at first. Just felt more and more eh, then he brought it back. Don't ask me how, but it just works so well

[@Shadowdragon9990]

Yes!!!! My favorite verse.

[@togodragon]

Legit his flow felt like a full court buzzer beater. Super clutch and last second lmao. If Guzman was a Pokemon trainer he'd be throwing his pokeballs out like buzzer beaters lol

[@simmy1024]

That's why I love peso you don't see any other rapper rap like he does

[@IplayTeemoasaWard]

I wouldnt even call them unorthodox, but thats why i love Pe$o and the Cypher gang. They rap like they wanna make music, different flows, vibes, beats you name it. While 90% of the anime/gamer rap scene just sticks to the wannabe-eminem flow where you just say words really fast and stay on beat. No hate to any of them, but I legit cant tell apart so many youtube rappers bcuz their rapping lacks any musical substance

[@matthewkal5010]

This N line needed more attention. “What has more beauty and terror than innocence.” That’s the smallest mf reference; it’s one line in BW when you’re about to fight N. You talk to two women that raised him; one heals your party, the other gives you a little backstory. She finishes it by saying that N was always innocent, and that “nothing is more beautiful and terrifying than innocence.” 11/10 shit

[@-Hikaru._.Tykon-]

I know this is a stupid thing to point out, but Connor Quest had slow and fast parts in his verse and he said ‘Magma that’s how I flow’. Magma can flow either really quickly or really slowly, so he set up a bar in the first half of his verse and turned it into a bar in the second half. Just wanted to point out how much better Connor’s verse was than all of us probably originally thought. Insane.

Ok, because I've noticed a few people missed the theme of Giovanni's bars I'mma say it here: Giovanni, alongside being the main villain, was also the Ground Type Gym Leader. Break the dirt in half is probably referring to the fact that Giovanni canonically designed the Earthquake TM Fissure is one of Pokemon's very few One Hit KO moves, and is ground type.

Best thing is, Natewantstobattle is more known for being a singer than a rapper, like a more video game orientated Divide music. His shit is fire, I remember jamming out to his Undertale song "Ashes" way back in 2018

[@sirapple589]

Bro, his FNAF songs were great. ‘Mangled’ was my favourite.

[@mcgamez8955]

Yeah, I was so hype when I saw he was on this track. Been listening to him for A LONG TIME. All the way back in 2014 with his "Muk You" parody song

@@Michael-iw9bw Bro I feel even older. I listened to his Dark Horse parody "Dark Pulse" back in 2013. Can't believe it's been 8 years.

[@Itztruewolf]

I actually like how zach B rapped N. Because in the show, N didn't really feel like the stereotypical "bad" guy in my opinion. He seemed like the good guy doing bad things. He brought up many existential questions in the show if I remember correctly. He was a villian that you really connected with and might've even felt sorry with. He was a very well thought out villian and the rapping by zach shows that he's done his research into how the man acted in the show.

[@BJGvideos]

N wasn't even a villain. He was a rival.

[@a3gis692]

@@BJGvideos I’m two weeks late but N is considered the secondary antagonist. I guess he might be a rival but he’s different compared to the rivals of every other region. I think he’s closer to a villain than a rival.

[@BJGvideos]

@@a3gis692 Eh, when you find out his entire role was to be a figurehead with no real ideas or morals of his own and he's really only starting to gain that aspect, it's hard to view him as being any sort of villain.

[@a3gis692]

@@BJGvideos That’s a really good point! I do think that you don’t necessarily need your own ideas or morals to be a villain. He was pretty much manipulated into being one. Btw I’ve always been a bit confused about the actual definition of villain. It might just be based on however someone interprets it. What does it mean to you?

[@BJGvideos]

@@a3gis692 I guess someone who knowingly and willingly does evil or bad. N had been intentionally shaped very specifically and had no frame of reference for anything else. He lacked the ability to make decisions.

For Ham Sandwiches verse you might be able to appreciate it more knowing that the character he personified's name is President Rose "This Eon's doomed without me, tragic. Feel like a pheonix, I Rose from the ashes. They know what's seperating Rose from the Ashes, the same thing seperating poses and actions."

[@DonniedrakoE]

Natewantstobattle is mostly a singer that works on his own music and various covers. Highly recommend his stuff

[@b53083]

Something about Rustage being at the end of a Cypher or him rapping as a villain always just hits different in the best way possible

[@mustafabaksh8610]

Nate’s been on OG in Nerd related music for a while now, but not necessarily nerd rap. But like alway, he absolutely brought it

[@MysteryMedia2001]

If you’re interested in nate’s stuff, he mainly does singing and he has 2 full original albums and loads of songs based on video games like legend of Zelda and pokemon( which is where he got the ‘wants to battle’ part of his name from) I would recommend sandcastle kingdoms (either the song titled that or any of the songs off the album named after it)

[@mcgamez8955]

Sandcastle Kingdoms was SOOO good!

[@JoeVO24]

N's character in Pkmn Black and white is one of the deepest pokemon has EVER written, tragic backstory and all. I dunno if you'll ever check the games out, but if you like how philisophical N is, just know that he's like that in-game too. Ghetsis, the dude that followed up on N, is his (former) adoptive father. Hence the "sonned you a bastard" line.

[@BJGvideos]

I don't even buy the adoptive part. That's a biological relative for sure. You gonna tell me that Ghetsis had this perfect plan and then just HAPPENED to find a kid in the woods who not only suited his plan but also looked exactly like him? Hell no, he put that kid there.

[@angelicwarrior118]

[@skeletonwar4445]

@@itsjoxius Most people who prefer "bar" cyphers were disappointed with this one cause it's a "vibe" cypher for the most part. Not like one is better than the other, but the previous cyphers were the other type, so they went in expecting A and got B, so it's kinda offputting at first.
