How was that for a tag team? 👊 Let us know what Cypher you'd like to see next!
I WANT a dramatic cypher about the trainers struggles and how they over came them ! Bc we always see how epic they are we forget that ash had to go through a lot ! Also everyone else MAtt ur perfect for this idea!!
Pokemon starters cypher
Rivals
@@lihapulla2377 Forget Zekrom! Lol
@@sophiamiranda8380 that's tempting for sure!
Ayeeee it was lit to share the cypher stage with you fam you killed your verse and I'm glad you like my verse
You could say I digged it! Keep up the awesome work
Yoooo, I'm glad you caught pretty much everything I had in my verse haha. Much love man plus you and Cam did a dope job yourselves! Hope to work on future projects :)
You threw it down perfectly! I had to pick it up! Yes here's to more collaborations 🍻
You killed it man, the funnest verse in this cypher
This was a fun one to be apart of! Awesome job on your verse!
Way to crush it, Iris! Here's to many more!
Mat4yo: 😃
Kevin:👋
Cam: *p a n i k*
How it normally goes
Yoo Mat4yo
Coincidentally, Poseidon is, in some tellings, the reason Medusa and the other Gorgons got cursed. Medusa and Poseidon hooked up in Athena's temple who, as gods do, took it personally and cursed Medusa and her sisters
Ya i read that in percy jackson
Dan Bull's DPS line was really clever. I was so confused when I heard that line by just rolled with it. Thanks for the explanation!
Idk way but I love this guy 😂😂 , he is always smiling and he is so kind u can't do anything but to love him ❤. Keep going
As one of the BIGGEST gen 3 buffs you'll ever meet, you absolutely KILLED it as Steven! Collabing with Cam as Wallace was something I didn't see coming, but was so glad you did. I can assure you, you did the role justice and more.
Now I always come here to see what I missed in our reactions lol you always killing it bro
We appreciate your reactions too!
Really love the cypher! Also appreciate the extra commentary on the verses not only as I might miss bars, but also get some musical insights too.
I appreciate your appreciation!
Your verse for Steven Stone was definitely amazing, but Chi-chi's verse for Cynthia stole my heart.
I have to agree
@@Mat4yo I can't even agree on whether Cynthia or Diantha was better at the singing. They were both so good
I thought it was really cool when you and Cam shared the verse. It worked great especially with Gen 3 being the introduction of Doubles. Really good stuff from everyone. Also, now I have the weird thought that is someone like Alder paying taxes.
Another point to how we represented Hoenn!
Ooh you like Castform
Hail yeah, a Castform fan!
You were PHENOMENAL (as always) alongside Cam repping Gen 3, and yours was my second favorite verse, but Chi-Chi completely blew me away. I thought she couldn’t get any better after the Trainer Cypher and the Ladies of Anime Cypher, but she has done nothing but improve!
Thanks so much! We hope to continue to impress
I didn't think y'all could top the protag cypher and yet here we are!
I was so excited to see who you got on this and when I realized it was my all time fav champion Steven Stone, I started clapping
Woohoo! Glad you enjoyed
Damn how does Mat4yo not have more subs he's so talented and understands the structural elements of what makes great music on top of all this he is eloquent enough to explain his thought processes. Keep it up your doing great
Don't know whether this was intentional or not but I really appreciate the latter half of Cam and your verse. The structure is pretty much identical but Steven's delivery is rigid and constant throughout its segment; each syllable lands on the quaver beat for beat. It's rock solid. Wallace's delivery takes that same structure but gives some syllables some stress and emphasis than others, giving it some rhythmic highs and lows. It ripples and flows.
Love the champion cypher so much. Been listening to it since it came out. You did an amazing job repping my personal favourite champion Steven and doing him justice! #TeamHoenn. Everyone on the cypher was just amazing!
Simply the greatest! Thank you
Y'know the gif of Yuji and Nanami beaten the shit outta Mahito, that's basically me listening to the Team Hoenn verse.
I'll pretend like I know what that is and say yes!
Oh my it is the man himself. Okay, I cannot express how much joy it brings me to hear these pokemon cyphers, and as a fellow Gen 3 stan (Hoenn = Ho-WIN), the perfect synergy between you and Cam as Steven and Wallace had me shaking my arms so much in enjoyment I dented my wall and nearly damaged my hand.
You, Cam, and ConnorQuest are without a doubt in mind the wittiest, most capable, and downright best at writing lyrics.
You are amazing, and don't believe anyone else saying otherwise, even if that someone is yourself.
@@Mat4yo LOLL ITS FROM AN ANIME CALLED JUJUTSU KAISEN
That’s such an amazing visual ahaha
It's crazy that this is the guy who sang *Turtle gonna snap call it photosynthesis*
everyone killed it
Loved all of your verses
And the way you just react and explain verses makes me think that why don't you react to other raps as well
I'm just most passionate about this kind of rap and it's what I am able to make time for!
That "we be so scaldin', Steven and Wallace!" lives rent free in my head
I love how proud you are of your work
like it shows in your face when you're reacting
I loved your deep dive into this cypher. I definitely missed some of that in my own listen throughs of the cypher (which I think turned out amazingly)
Man has the most wholesome smile on his face when listening:)
I Love it thx man i love that you react to rap cypher's i mean no pokemon rap is approve without a Mat4yo reaction right love your vids allways supporting ya
You guys did great keep up the good work man. I really love the way you and Cam worked together as guys are like best friends so it’s very cool to see best friends teaming up to deliver great bars.
*As You guys
I really love Steven's first line because it's so short but so layered. The internal rhyme is amazing, and so is the reference to the "man of steel" Stalin doubling as a reference to stalling in battles. The Stalin reference is even better because Steven's father is named Joseph. Awesome work!!!
I like how you explain all the verses Like it's nothing. Also again the way you explain it is so well i understand the verses way more now
I loved the Stevens stone section
your such a good rapper, just subbed yesterday and i love your content
Thanks so much!! Hope you enjoy my vids!
Aye I love how much you took the time to break down each verse in the bestest way you know how, you and everyone else owned your verses on this awesome cypher, I also remember the first song I heard by you was lottery problem, you did crazy good on that, definitely keep up the great work dude, I'm here for all the amazing music you got coming up as well as the lit reactions you have approaching as well man ^~^ .
WOW what a throwback! Haha appreciate you being supportive all this time!
Really love your insights man
Thanks for listening!
I loved your part with Cam!
You killed it there! Still sad to see how little recognition youre getting but the ones that do know your genious! The new snap rap was quite relaxing and i liked it!
It's tough when I typically do what I want versus what's popular, but I will forever appreciate folks like you who dig it still! 📸
It’s never a Pokémon rap without you mat
Something I really love about this cypher is that the verse with Blue is teaching people about STAB. Never stop learning, trainers, not from anywhere~
Netflix: Your still Watching?
Somebodys daughter: 0:45
Little phallic my bad lol
All ya'll killed it!
Thanks yo!
I am a gen 3 baby you guys were so amazing
Imma throw in a few other things I personally noticed
Diantha's verse is all presentation in the first half, straight up singing the region and gimmicks of gen 6 and Kalos just like the games, then jumping into the raps changing the meter for each Pokemon. Gourgeist is measured deliberate cause it's a tank, Diancie comes out a nowhere after a fast triple, and Tyrantrum barges in immediately after, showing they're all offence, to say nothing about Gardevoir closing out the song section. This is a perfect reflection of her team comp, in which every mon is deliberately different to highlight the variety.
Alder's 'rona rap is crazy not just cause it goes for the Volcarona/COVID parallel, but also cause it carries on the Iris puns. The Corona is basically a ring of color, like around the sun, but also refers to the rings of color in the eye's Iris.
I love that Lance's lines are unapologetically dorky, especially the opening. Lance is 100% the type to cram dragon into everything before straight up telling you his strat through Rock-Star presenting. Also shoving the Stadium tem references with Steelix, Kangaskhan, and Tyranitar. That's doubly so for Blue's Yellow/Magneton line.
I freaking loved the feedback between Steven and Wallace. So freaking fabulous it hurts, with the geography and Ancient Greece lines, as well as the move puns, being the icing on the cake.
Kukui's verses matching the laid-back, no fucks given energy of Elio's and later Hau's verses makes each Alola parts of each cypher stand out together.
I like that Blue's team presentation has it's lead-in lines on the beat, making the verse feel more deliberate, like he's calculating his game plan, right before hitting you with the off-tempo end of "saw your flaws and exploited them" making it feel like he's running circles around you
God Cynthia's feels like an event. Obviously you don't have THE champion without extra panache, but Chi-Chi didn't need to write a FOURTH top tier theme for Cynthia. She just did, and God damn did it steal the show for a minute.
Finally Leon. Jumping in before his verse even starts with the "me!" to Kukui's end line reinforces Leon's self assured nature and his tendency to get lost while simultaneously introduced Dan's off the cuff style. The way he jerks you from one rhyme scheme to the next with a 3/3/3/4 word tempo into a 4/5/4/6, and then BACK into the 3/4, just to end it with an understated not-so-humblebrag is just SO Leon and also SO Dan Bull.
Oh yeah! While the Gyarados and Milotic lines ended up doubling up on accident, it's pretty cool that it reflected what actually happened in-game
From Gyarados
To Gyarados/Milotic
To Milotic
Ended up being pretty fun with that in mind.
THESE CYPHERS ARE PURE 10000% WIN!!!
Ayo. I am happy you liked them
Oh please let this man see that Dan says “me” after the song asks who’s gonna win?
Loved this Cypher just as much as the last 2 Pokémon ones... Or even more...
Cause I loved these tag team thingys
And obviously love your reaction as the last time I still think your Pokémon knowledge is crazy just as your knowledge about everything actually xDd
Haha I should join a pokemon quiz team
@@Mat4yo u certainly would be good at such quizzes
I remember your role as the male protagonist in gen 5 in that cypher that was an amazing performance and one of my favorites overall lol
This was a good reaction.
I don’t listen to rap a lot, but after watching this, I’ve gained a great appreciation for how much thought goes into the lyrics.
I am 6 months late......
Not going to lie I thought the bar
"Man of steel but no Stallin'"
Was a reference to the fact that steven uses steel types and in the meta a lot of the steel types are used as walls for setup and stall. Which goes into the Metagross line. Maybe it was unintentional or maybe I am reaching.
Every time I hear you I think that your really good
Also, I’m fairly certain I’m at LEAST 10k of those 2 million views on the Red vs Gold rap battle. It’s one of my favorites from you to date lol
Haha same here thanks
Damn, I never thought that cam would be the one who would make the best cyphers...
Also: You and Cam rapping together? That was SO GOOD!!!
Haha thanks! We've been rapping together for years!
@@Mat4yo I know, but for me it was the first time where you shared a part with steven and wallace
Ayyeee the cypher is fire🔥🔥, I just love how the back and forwards for the HOENN Champs (#TeamHoenn) and UNOVA Champs went. It was just beautiful. An antagonist cypher would be great follow up.
I agree! Thank you
Yes I love it!!!!
That's legit.🔥
Who came up with the idea of putting their champion theme for each character in the background ? Cause it was awsome.
Dan bull is a dope pick but kaggy films would have been fun too because he voices leon in the anime
Would have been a cool meta joke
Hey I just discovered you through the pokemon cyphers, and your verses are definitely the most fun for me to rap along with. I think it would be sick to hear you in more anime raps in that community. Are you planning on working with the nerdcore circle on cyphers anytime soon? Btw, you and Ashtin killed it in devils and hazmats, and freak of nature is my new theme song lol
Hi Matt!!!
This was amazing! Diantha had my favorite verse, it was so pleasantly surprising to see Trickywi. I loved the duo verses as well, such a cool way of implementing both champions, (though I am surprised Hau wasn’t a part of it, or had his own verse, since he’s the champion instead of Kukui in Ultra Sun/Moon). Speaking of Kukui, I absolutely loved his opening line, 10/10 opening right there. Overall, I think everyone really brought it, great cypher!
Respectable!
Same, dude. I have a similar opinion and Trickywi killed it with her half-vocal, half-rap verse. I also liked G. Yee and Dan Bull, but Breeton wasn’t to bad either. The opening line definitely was spot-on.
Mat4Yo, hi bud, I'd like to see a Doctor Who Alien Villains Cypher. Or even ask Cam to do one!
Leon doesn't need a champion's exit, cause he ahd a "champion time"
Just got the man of steel Stalin bit. Bro ur brilliant
Cam spurred the idea for that particular reference!
Ayyee I really love your tag team with Cam. I would actually love to see you react to Minecraft VS Rust sometime.
Appreciate it! While I rapped in that battle I didn't write it and am not familiar with Rust unfortunately
@@Mat4yo i understand.
You and Cam destroyed it. You two being homies and doing a duo is great because of there being two champions and the introduction of double battles. The doubles entendres were great and the Sootopolis scheme that went into Cam's part sounded so good!
A great point that I forgot to mention - double battle gen with double battle friends!
Can you do an Flareon Rap Xd, I loved your flareon rap in the eeveelution cypher!
Leaon's last verses reminded me about the FIFA commentators.
Interesting perspective!
@@Mat4yo I kinda thought that when u said u haDC cam on call, I thought he would be inputting as well. Wonder why he didn't
I’m months late, but I do think that Dan may have been bragging just a little in his first line “I’ve been here for aeons, I’m easily the best.”, that dude has been at this for a long time and definitely shows. Of course it also ties in with how Leon is a total braggart, so maybe I’m just seeing patterns that don’t exist.
Raise your hand if this video is how you learned DPS' name 🙋♂️
🙋♂️
🖐
Steven is my fav champion and has my fave verse
YES!
@Mat4yo I wish your raps get as much attention as Cam’s but still fire
You did team Steven proud! Amazing verse!
Mission accomplished!
Yo how about an evil team leaders cypher next

There was an evil team leader cipher, but nobody played who you said they should.
Yeaah no one
@@glowstonelovepad9294 if you read this I posted this before they made it
I love your cyper and cam sted its the booooooom
Cynthia is the first champion to strike fear in ya? Well having a level 67 Garchomp will do that when you barely are at level 55
Are you gonna make a new Chisel This episode for ERB's Ragnar Lodbrok vs Richard the Lionhear?
Wonder what's the difference between Medusa and Weeping Angels? You'll still turn to stone regardless of blinking or looking!
My question is thou on Chi-Chi’s verse did you guys bot use Cynthia’s theme like you did in the others. If you did, then i missed it over her vocals, which I was a little disappointed that it got so overshadowed by it. because D/P/P is what got me into Pokemon. Don’t get me wrong,I still liked the verse, and she was spitting and had a good flow going though
I'm probably reading too much in to it
The bigger the Leon, the bigger the DPS.
Pokemon Sw/Sh was the generation that introduced Dynamax'ing, in which pokemon get a boost to stats and size.
"Iced" can also mean Cynthia received Glacion in Black and white games)
Togem(k)iss, Cyrus, Garchomp..
I am a fan of Chi-Chi, she did great job :)
On that note, we also see her 'iced out' in her friends Villa in Black and White, when she's on vacation. I always wondered if they were intentionally trying to call that out or if it was a happy accident. lol
This is as long as the pokemon trainer cypher reaction
You should try reaching out to the stupendium! He’d be amazing for this
Yes 1000x to this!
hey i asked this on i think cam's channel but can u do rival rap cipher pls that would be so cool
as someone who is lacking in pokemon knowledge i really appreciate your explainationssss
Very cool!
Nice:)
Can we appreciate that both breakdowns were 22:21 in time
Damn
Yo how about an evil team leaders cypher next @mat4yo
That’s my Steven!
Man o steel
Hau is technically a champion too
I have to sqy that song is HEAT
Agreed
for the past 4 years i pronounced your name as Mat Ayo
That's my real name (Matteo) so you're technically right!
Pokémon Rivals cypher
Good idea
h
Yed yes yes yes yes
Your cool
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
You forgot the Johto league Campion in Gen II. The one you face before heading the Kanto in Gen II
That's Lance
@@Mat4yo I never played thru gen II when I was younger. I started with Hoenn and the remakes of Red and Green. I think the farthest I got in HeartGold when it was on the DS was right at the pokemon league in Johto before I lost my games.... now... I never got to finish the game
“Man of Steel” surprised you went with referencing Stalin and not Superman who is also known as the man of steel @Mat4Yo
Steven is just as super!
@@Mat4yo true dat
5:1 and 5:2 it disturbed me anyone who knows the origin of Medusa knows what I am saying
Kukui's not the champion tho, he's your first challenger as the champion.
So basically the same rol , but not quite
