REACTION - POKEMON MASTERS 8 RAP CYPHER | Cam Steady ft. Rustage, Chi-chi, Shao Dow & More

[@jediclonekag13]

Just so you two know, the Masters 8 is a group that consists of the eight best Pokemon trainers in the anime. This is the current lineup in "Pokemon Journeys". Anyway, this was such an amazing Pokemon rap cypher, and the verses were so incredible that I'm conflicted about which one is my favorite.

[@WallaceWinchester]

I am surprised that they put Steven instead of Kukui.

[@XenoPyraXMythra]

That's cap, Tobias is the strongest trainer, in the anime we only got to see two of his pokemon and they were both in the category of legendary

[@draketitan6478]

[@Kris_King]

Just for those who dont know Alain cz he aint in the games. He's the rival Ash had in the Kalos anime and so far the only rival Ash never beat. He also beat Ash in the Kalos league finals (and the fandom did NOT take that lightly).

[@castform7]

Christ, mid 2016 was a time for Pokemon anime fans. I've lightened up to the outcome and honestly think it was right for Alain to win but damn if I wasn't livid at the time.

[@abby73168]

Lmao i am infinitely more pissed at how Alain got treated in Journeys (especially how he never got to have a rematch with ash) than how he beat ash in Kalos

[@Kris_King]

[@abby73168]

@@Kris_King Thx lmao i havent watched the anime in a while

[@goldenclasher8287]

maybe because ash shouldn't have lost that fight lmao. I'm still salty about it. It's just another case of Charizard having special treatment in my opinion. water type losing to a fire type move.

[@chefgweenbean5561]

been waiting for this one, it’s his hardest cypher by far, everyone went crazy

[@chefgweenbean5561]

and the beat is unreal

[@logicallgaming]

villians is in imo better as is trainer but this is def up there. tho i liked all three for different reasons

[@punypikachug3815]

I think the reason he referenced November specifically was because all the main series pokémon games always come out in November, so that could be it. Anyways, I loved the cypher and your reaction! Always a joy to watch!

[@SuperGuldo]

that doesnt make any sense with the line in general

[@dudebro2535]

@@SuperGuldo maybe bc SwSh came out in November, so he’s making sure you know of him?

[@BowieBunnyBoi]

the "know of ember" (November) line could be because that's when most Pokémon games are released, but I could also just be wrong

[@luigiboi4244]

I can’t stop listening to this cypher. I just had it on-loop when it came out, and I couldn’t stop jamming to it. Best verse IMO might be either Rustage’s or Mat4Yo’s, but it’s hard to pinpoint since they all slay harder than Trevor Belmont.

[@grim6387]

Indeed. Trevor do slay hard, but damn.

[@NikFromm]

So apparently, “pult” is a Middle English form of pelt (that’s one of the many definitions, but that’s the only one that makes most sense).

[@AngeIDynamite]

No it doesn't. Verb. pult. (obsolete, rare) simple past tense and past participle of pull.

[@NikFromm]

@@AngeIDynamite I said it was ONE OF the many definitions of the word. I honestly had to go through quite a few to see if any made sense, and that one is the only one that could in that context.

[@thesunwillneverset]

Given the next part of the line has 'cape', maybe that's the flip there? The thing of wearing animal pelts?

[@NikFromm]

@@thesunwillneverset that’s what I’m thinking, but it’s a bit of a stretch because Middle English is a very old language that basically no one uses anymore.

[@theonewayroad3867]

Dragapult Ghost/Dragon type pokemon.

[@dragonemperor5986]

"drag-ur-pult if you cape the cap line" , let's break this down for sec. The cap is Leon's crown because in the anime he's referred to as monarch. Cape means to steal something, and the "drag-ur-pult" I believe is just a threat like something like " I'll beat your ass if you take my crown ", yaknow what I mean? I could be wrong but that's my interpretation

[@bobshnitzel2608]

Okay but what does pult mean

[@FackHumanity]

@Bob Shnitzel I the drag-ur-pult is supposed to be a play on words for catapult because Leon is referred to as monarch and a king si would fit in that kind of medieval era.

[@worthlesshuman5041]

If you look at the previous evolution, drakloak, you can assume that in this context it means the old English way of saying pelt, in this context probably in reference to clothes. Basically, he'll drag your ass. A little esoteric but it works in context

[@lrq6296]

Pult in pokemon refers to A Pokemon Multi-Battle in which four players duke it out. Pults are a sacred anything goes battle for fun. Basically saying he’s going to drag you around in battle

[@ExtraVictory]

Its probably a spin on the word pelt, like an animal skin. Human skin, etc. Pretty clever

[@shad_vo1522]

lol i love the confusion during the leon part about the word pult XD if no one has figured it out yet im pretty sure he was refering to the fact pult is a term used to describe those stupid 4 person pokemon battles from sun and moon and ultra sun and moon

[@certifiednolife]

This was most definitely the best pokemon Cypher also Leon's bar with "ill make you nov-ember cuz you're four times weak" was my favorite bar

[@NewtBannner]

Shwabadi liking a Cam Cypher that he’s not on?!!? November

[@voidroad]

Im always amazed by how often the anime rap community makes videos and songs together. And the speed at which everyone improves with the constant "exposure" to each other's songs it feels like everyone boosts everyone both artistically and competitively to get better from working together and putting out content so often. And at the end of the day its everyone who watches and enjoys the songs, cyphers and rap battles who wins. Thank you guys for the quality content feels like I dont have time to watch it all sometimes. Hope it keeps going for a long time, cheers!

[@deathraven7314]

A pult in the pokemon universe is a sacred multi battle used to challenge. So maby he's saying that he'll make your life miserable by using stall tactica to drag out a multi battle if you cross him?

[@lazerman27]

I was really confused by pult aswell the only one that kind of made sense that i could find was this. “a fine plain-weave fabric of silk, rayon, nylon, etc, with slight ribs across it” November

[@jadealvarez7817]

Cata-pult in reference to him being a king/monarch

[@jadealvarez7817]

Dragapult launches Dreepy with dragon darts. Catapults launch rocks

[@Doomhunter1657]

Its been a year but pult means corpse in slang

[@soraandthegang1066]

Ty is just another level with his writing it’s crazy

[@lazy2335]

Damn, my boy Connor quest finally hit puberty

[@Sparkz147]

4:29 that was my reaction and exactly what that quadruple homophone line deserved. Ridiculous writing.

[@mattheoprannac]

I'm kinda sad you didn't notice the *Shao Dow noises* bar 😂

[@piratewill8513]

Been waiting for your reaction to this since it came out. My favorite verse is probably Rustage’s verse as Steven, mostly because it was the only one I fully understood the first time I heard it. I didn’t even catch the November bar until watching this video.

[@Ender-jq9bu]

Ty wild was my favorite. Amazing bars and schemes. And the "Milli" line was flames

[@shadowninja2338]

Drag the German table I’m dead 😂

[@Vivat_Veritas]

Really wanted to see you react to this, thought I'd have to wait till November!

[@TheActualJakIsHere]

i dont know why i love cam's, it was just fire imo. rustages and mats were also tied for 2nd. (rustage, shwab and conner are tied for my favourite rappers. ofc the UK trio)

[@jayd.doubledubs]

UK DUO! The Masters 8 is probably the most ambitious thing the anime has ever attempted; it's the 8 strongest trainers in the anime world, consisting of 6 standard champions, the newly crowned Alolan champion Ash, and the anime-exclusive strongest rival Alain. The anime kinda flopped the Masters 8 in execution and didn't really live up to expectations, but these artists certainly did! Oh my goodness, this was everything I could've asked for and more

[@shrillx9376]

NOVEMBER. Also, it sounded like Rustage's ending flow was similar to your ending flow in Beasts Of Anime Rap Cypher Vol. 2; did anyone else hear it? Or am I just mentally challenged

[@matthewgibbs5785]

My favorite verses is Cam, Chi-Chi, Rustage and Ty Wild

[@mastereduimusic]

Love the chat tryna say obvious shit near the end, to get Shwab and Connor to call em dumb 💀 November!

[@weeb-ubreafs1382]

Probably my favorite sounding cypher Rustage has my favorite verse November

[@SkywardMusic]

I thought Shao meant the 4th of November/Guy Fawkes, but then I dont get the "four TIMES weak" bit... Nevertheless y'all had me hollering at the German table bit. 🤣

[@thegrimminal9461]

4x week cuz there’s 4 weeks in November

[@SkywardMusic]

@@thegrimminal9461 I know, but as they said that's true for all months, so I thought maybe Shao meant something else. We'll never know. :D

[@masterofroblox687]

Maybe saying that whatever it's fighting against is 4x weak to ember

[@gewinnersieger]

@@SkywardMusic he made a comment saying that the November bar was the intended one, I guess November was the only month he could make a homophone like “Know of Ember” for.

[@SkywardMusic]

@@gewinnersieger Thanks for the info! :)

[@AlexT7916]

10:45 Maybe because it will be November 4(ish) weeks after the Cyphers release ?

[@gamegrinder0126]

Just incase somebody actually gets to see this I think the November bar is good because he mentions ground previously. The Pokémon charizard aka the one on screen at the time has both the types fire and flying. The ember part is a reference to the fire type and the four times week part is because if a ground type move is able to damage a flying and fire type it is four times affective aka four times weak to ground.

[@nnannaonyeka]

If I had to guess I think the choice for "November" was because it was the only month that he could reference a pokemon move.

[@vienne_iris]

Most Pokémon games usually come out in November so, it might be referencing that

[@nnannaonyeka]

@@vienne_iris they do all come out in November don't they. Don't know how I did not realize that

[@redeyesb.dragonite8562]

But you see, November is also a month known for snow, and Abomasnow has the snow warning ability, and he is 4x weak to ember! This was clearly intended

[@marahousley8553]

[@madnessarcade7447]

They used pult as a pun for Pelt He will drag your pelt

[@Voidaram]

Ty is fucking insane 😂

[@rikudoninashi2922]

Germans would say: ,,METALL IST GROß"😂 Greetings from Germany😁👋🏼

[@myheadhurtsagain]

Drag-ur-pult, I think is supposed to be a very bent "Drag Your Pelt". Cape of course is the piece of clothing but it also is both the pelt of the head and neck of an animal as well as being the verb that describes the process of skinning the head and neck of any animal with the intent of making it into a trophy. So if we read it in that context, he'll drag your pelt back if you steal his hat, but that's because he's already ready to cape your cap. I tried, I'm sorry that's all I got.

[@tyso921]

In shao’s verse I think he means he will drag you if you try to take(cape/steal)the cap(crown).

[@dallaspayne6204]

The four times week is a pokemon reference, if both your types are weak to fire the damege is multiplied my 4. Therefore, four times weak

[@kingcobra7k]

thank you shwabadi for knowing cam part was rush I thought I was the only one

[@ajadler1629]

Literally waited so much for this

[@archshadow5082]

It might be a stretch, but Shao was probably referencing the month in which Pokémon comes out, which is November

[@terrybyte7866]

6:09 that bar was fire

[@castform7]

I would say it'd be pretty silly for someone to see you trying to figure out what a pult is and go "lol, these idiots don't know what a Dragupult is" but honestly I am not surprised.

[@NatsuNekuro]

Join the subathon they're still live with 30 hrs left, November

Drag ur pult if you cape the cap. Drag your pelt if you steal the hat. He's going to wear your skin as his new cape if you try to steal his hat.
