Dr. Eric Jamal was talking about the struggle to save hip hop. Taj was talking about his struggles to make it. Rio was talking about his family and the reality that life is precious and Ras was talking about fighting his inner demons.....This song is gotta be song of the year.... going to be hard to top this shit.

That fibbonaci bar was deeper than you know. You got the first part. PHI is the primary equation in the fibonnaci sequence, named after the Greek sculptor Phaiades. Its also known as the "golden equation" in art, it is the numerical value for :asthetic beauty". So not only did he Double "phi (fire)", he said shit is beautiful. Thats a cold as bar you wouldnt get unless you read or a math professor

I associated the last line with it as well, "That's why the number don't lie G". The capital "G" represents the Fibonacci spiral.

In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Rio spit 3rd... The depth of their lyrical content is nothing short of amazing.

Eric Jamal can go bar for bar with anyone. Literally anyone. His energy, wordplay, rhythm, timing and doubles/triples are up there with Eminem, busta,dmx,nas etc. Imo.
This is the feel and style I remember back in the early 90s that made me fall in love with hip hop.

"They just imitating their latest favorites.. here come the labels." Not only speaks to the music industry but the drug industry as well... keeping with the medical scheme. So many levels. This may be one of the greatest verses ever penned. 🙌🏽
Bruh your disrespect for Rio is wild. Cuz raps in 2 different languages and makes it all rhyme. And it’s all 🔥🔥🔥 just because you can’t understand it doesn’t make him a weak link. That’s just ignorance

He’s said Tell them that I said it, I verbatim aka “VERB-BAIT-THEM”
Rio was scheming on the fibonnacci sequence, and the mathematics behind that sequence is called the "Phi ratio" ..... This sh*t Phi (fire)
I ❤ Coast Contra..the different storytelling is incredible..they make me feel hip hop everytime they spit!
10:49 he's far from the "weakest link" Stevie, simplicity is the highest form of sophistication. Bro be rapping, people just don't really LISTEN to him Edit: 12:01 Rio said "This sht PHI, that's why the numbers don't lie G" I'm pretty sure he's referencing something called the Golden Ratio (which is referred to as the divine proportion) so he's saying the beat and/or his lyricism is so perfect, the numbers can't lie.

Phi is the Golden Ratio which is what the ratio between two consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches. Fibonacci sequence is the addition of the previous two numbers in the sequence starting with 1 and 1. Sequence: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,… Sequence Ratios a_(n+1)/a_n: 1,2,1.5,1.667,1.6, 1.625,1.615,1.619,1.618 Golden Ratio: (1+sqrt(5))/2 ≈ 1.618 This ratio is commonly found in nature and there are spirals in nature that surprisingly fit this sequence.

That's why the video started with them under a tower, from that angle it looks like a spiral. This video has some brilliant and meaningful directing choices throughout.

Rio is amazing. In most groups he would be the best. He's just not quite at the level of Taj, and a good bit below Ras and Eric J. And that is no knock on Rio because Eric and Ras are generational talents. Coast are the 90s Bulls. Rio is Rodman. A Hall of Famer in perhaps the best team ever. But not Pippen and *definitely* not Jordan. That being said- Rodman wasn't a weak link and neither is Rio. 'Weak link' is disrespectful.
There guys are a breath of fresh air and I don’t think they’ve dropped a track that hasn’t been fire yet!
10:45 Rio Loz did produce the song, so there is that ;)
Everybody tries to sound the same in Hip Hop today. In the 90s, hip hop you had to be competitive by establishing your own rap style cementing yourself as an individual in Hip hop. Everyone I name in the last video you did on this channel has their own style like the 90s.

This song is literally them saying AYO to the place the black community finds itself in at this time. Shit real af. This need to blow up damn near just as much as that Katt interview.
That wheelchair line was crazy!
They're such a sick fn group. Eric Jamal crushes it every time. He's insane with the pen and delivery. Imagine an entire song by him. It'd be like a 45 min reaction trying to break everything down.

Listened to this last night, popped up in my feed and I was genuinely happy to find something new that's actually good
Refreshing AF! They cookin 🫕
Yessss real hip hop it’s music to my ears 👂
Thank you so much!! Viva coast contra! Fire reaction!!
Love everything these dudes put out
Saw that video a couple days ago. Real hip hop per usual from these guys.
Man like your content how you break down bars I love lyrics keep killin in that fire…
thanks for sharing the love !
The truth is since they've come out we always like to say, they the best right now, ain't nobody messing w them, although true for sure, these cats are timeless and would hang w anyone from any Era. They more they keep putting out the more we get to witness that. It's hard to top your last joint when it's fire to begin w and everytime they drop it seems to level up. Unfortunately for them(imo) the times have changed and they won't ever be what they would of been had they been out in the 90s but true hip hop heads will always show love
been waiting for u to post this
"This shit 'fire' (PHI), that's why the numbers to don't lie G" ... PHI is the golden ratio.
I was waiting for you to react to this 🔥🔥 reaction and song fasholy
the depth of that last verse 😏🔥
Was waiting for this one letsgoooo
Like you said, a collection of dopeness....period.
People sleeping on Rio. He is getting better. This song no one has peeped that he was actually having a conversation with himself in the mirror. That was poetry at its finest.
Sweet gettin a shout out for the city!! 🔥🔥 Toronto in da house body surfin! Love these guys so freaking much!!! 🔥🔥

Maybe +1 more wheelchair = the labels will handicap your talent in rap since you have rap about certain things they want Only.
Damn you missed that bar "Egg em on to sip maple" meaning sippin syrup. That bar was fiiiire!
🔥 🔥 🔥 a hip hop collective
🔥🔥🔥 Better than your favorite is an understatement.
Love true hip hop and that's them!
look at the Fibonacci spiral -> looks like a G 🔥🔥🔥
Great old school type. Reaction was awesome too.
Not going to lie this is one of my favorite reactions channel
Been waiting for your reaction nephew. Come on man!!😅😅😂😂😂
What's up man love the content keep doing the good work just got me one of your sweters
Coast Contra is soooo far over mainstream music's head. If they're gonna make it....Hip-Hop needs to get behind them harder than they already are. I see a lot of OG's workin with them....but it's all "underground" visibility. There's no reason creatively that Coast can't take over rap. NOW....this assumes that's what they want. Either way....we were all here for it first.
Peace and love fam 🙏
DAMN 🔥
This one is soooo 🔥
the CREAM made them, the "cash rules everything around me", made them. The money is why they sell their soul, but the labels then cremate them on the deals and with the ownership? .. might be a stretch but that's what I heard first
you should do they older freestyles to see the growth an just spread the word even more 💯💪 🔊 COAST CONTRA ‼️
This track is dope, I like what they do individually but honestly most of their tracks seem like 4 random verses put together...this actually marries up as a cohesive unit and it's fire AF
You working overtime today Stevie 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
This is my favorite song by them. And i felt the same way about rio at first but after a few listens i realised he is better than initial first impressions
Taj does usually require "bar breakdowns", this was just a more light, reflective verse from him

They all have unique flows… Jamal and Ras kas son murders the bars!!!! So rappers really better watch out. Especially if they have know idea C.C is Here!
Coast Contra and ShoeGang are the 2 best hip-hop groups today.
When Ras' lower self-started having a pity party and he flipped right back to the first lines from his "higher self" GENIUS!!! He not only had a battle with his conscious but he validated his point that the lower self will always slip into self-depreciation. POETRY, DEBATE, SELF REFLECTION and Therapy is an insane verse.
🔥
Jamal started with amazing bars... than first twin gave us amazing storytelling... could've ended there, so so dope. Rio also gave dope storytelling... and then second twin finished that mf with dope bars... such a solid solid group. True true hip-hop.
Yeah that 80s beat sounds sick with a smooth flow. EM dropping a new song and video in 2 weeks from what EM magazine said on Instagram✌️
Bruh had me at "we need an iv, it's up to us 4 (IV) to save the day..." 🔥
IV Roman numerals is 4 that bar alone is hard
The first major bar went over this fools head 😂
😊 bro, I am surprised this wasn't a 30-minute video😂

This song I think perfectly attacks all the Coast fans who are really only Eric Jamal finds... Like I used to be. erics first verse had me blown away. Then you hear the others less complicated but similarly impactful and you cant help but realize your robbin yourself of enjoying greatness in many forms on one track.
Coast are those young duded with that old hiphop soul... they're a blessing. BUT if you wanna listen to a classic group showing how hiphop should be made? Check out the new Arrested Development album! Dope AF!
Rio is dope af... and he produced the track
Lyrical overload
Reminds me of Tribe Called Quest & Onyx
Also he should react to Red bull spiral freestyle from Coast Contra
Don't forget about them grieselda boys
