Obviously, they didn't write this, but you can believe these girls are students of music with their production company... you can hear this in their interviews of their songs that are throwback to the 1990s and 2000s... and their familiarity with artists of that era... I'm sure they are studying about rap, hip hop and more... they are amazing for their age, and give them time, they will be contributing to music production and lyrics, just like we've seen with other great groups, like BTS and Blackpink
Yea definitely given the time they're going to be writing their own stuff if they aren't already. They've definitely got that IT factor like BTS. Don't know about Black pink tho 😂. Reminder Black Pink are um very much manufactured by YG to their core idk if anything those girls do is genuinely them except maybe Rose with her solo that felt genuine. Anyway no shade to Black Pink but yea they're not in the same lane as BTS for sure.
@@tiffanykim2773 true tho I realy enjoy BP music, I associate XG more on how BTS genuinely study the musicians/artists roots they like, respect and adore. I felt the same something on XG when i first stanned BTS.
Yeah, XG has the same sense of musical authenticity as BTS's rap line when it comes to hip hop. They really know the genre and are dedicated to it, and it shines through in every performance.
@@tiffanykim2773 for what it’s worth, the first time I witnessed XG pre-debut, it gave me the same feelings I had when i first witnessed Blackpink. Putting HOW their music is produced aside, although I will say that as of now, XG has more in common than differences with Blackpink in that regard, both groups’ output/final product is of the same high quality and mass appeal. As soon as I saw XG, I thought to myself, “this group has the potential to touch Blackpink type numbers.” That was with only seeing Move #1, Vox #1, and Tape #1. And I still firmly believe that. Other groups that I put in that category, although to a lesser extent than I do with XG, are Le Sserafim and New Jeans. Regardless of individual skills and rankings in dance/rap/vocals of individual members, what all these groups have in common are HIGH QUALITY output in production and choreo with sounds, members, and concepts that can reach mass appeal.
Some of the most famous artists in history hardly ever wrote their own songs, what matters is they killed what was written for them.
Harvey's voice has become so iconic, I can't imagine a XG song without her.
They both killed this one.
I can't wait for the reaction of the B part with Jurin and Cocona
Preach!!
I was about to say the same damn thing
It's out already
As an old hip hop head, I enjoy XG’s project so much. Simon and the XGALX team are really giving the girls a deeeeeeep education. No chance they wrote their bars, but I agree that they did a helluva job delivering them, regardless. The future is looking bright for these girls.
Yah 100 percent, they started so early I hope they keep droppin mix tapes, and sharpen their pens to take over more of the writing.
@@libraryofpapel I mean give it time yeah. But also they did a good job at being genuine in their delivery
they listen to A LOT of black artists so that probably also had a factor
People be sleeping on Maya. First Dreamville's Down Bad and now Cordae's? She literally took the cadence of each of these songs. From what I've seen, she's definitely the ace of the group 👀
Definitely an Ace! Rap, Vocals and Dance are top tier, and I need folks to put more respect on her name 🔥
When I discovered XG Cocana was my favorite but after delving deeper into their music Maya is definitely my favorite and the ace of the group.
@@supacoolkatz same. I’m exactly the same lol. I saw Cocona’s part first and couldn’t believe she was 16, but then when I started putting more respect on Maya’s verse and then started paying attention to her more in the videos, she became my bias. Watching her in the interviews and on their shows just solidified it for me lol
Facts they sleeping on her might be best in the group
Jurin is stright fire too. Honestly its so hard to pick a favorite between Jurin, Maya and Cocona for me. Jurin dances like a master and her delivery is fire, Coconas swag is on a million and her delivery is left-eye ish amd thats fire to me, and you are 100 about Maya.
You guys are definitely a part of their success. People loved your reactions to XG, including me! Thank you for supporting XG through your channel🥰
It’s wild to see the difference between CZcams reactions and tiktok commentary and how different the opinions are. All these CZcamsrs love this while TikTok is freaking out saying that XG is apparently disrespecting hip hop and black culture lmao and I’m genuinely so confused by that. I’m just glad too see people like these guys and countless others not seeing race in this and just enjoying pure talent and old school hiphop within these young amazing women who just happen to be Japanese
Because most in tiktok are kids what you expect 🤷♂️
@@XAE404 perfectly said
literally this‼️
imo these girls are appreciating hiphop as well as black culture. theyre proudly japanese/asian & arent afraid to show it either.
i also think that their english accents are jst affected by the music they surround themselves with, since most of them love r&b, hiphop, etc.
- for e.g. my cousin; who's first language isnt English; watched a lot aa centered TV shows growing up & this impacted his English accent, not becos "he wanted to be black/african american", but becos tht was the way he learned most of the English he knows now.
like i get that ppl would assume certain things but its a very closed minded argument, not everyone is out to get african americans & not everyone is trying to 'cosplay' either🤷🏽♀️
theyre jst showing their appreciation for the culture/music genre❤️
@@ma1ney don’t even have to say much u perfectly explained it. I’ve been a fan of them for a while and they just seem VERY influenced and look up to many artists who happen to be black women and hip hop and pop based artists - specifically old school eras, I’ve seen interviews and that’s who they always give credit too for their motivation. U can see how it translates through their clothes, raps, and overall vibe and ppl see that as disrespectful or appropriating- I see it as appreciation , I wish ppl just knew more about them rather then assuming and just seeing it such one sided. They really are so talented
@Cassy I can definitely see the issue with the hair, though it’s not direct copying certain culturally related hairstyles it’s definitely a soft influence of such - and it can definitely come off with little weird vibes. But I can see there’s no bad intentions on XGs part they just needa be more careful, but yes people take it so extra lmao. Glad u see the greatness in them despite that
Maya's quote from an interview about Tape #2 "All of us were involved in choosing the beats, lyrics, and flow, which allowed us to show more of our personalities."
Watching the XG Documentary thats currently airing they trained for 5 yrs w/ dance vocals so im sure rapping is part of it. they were listening to old skool prior to training. As there idols & inspirations span from old to new in many genres. It shows they are students of Music in general
Damn gotta wait for tape 3B now after this 😂
Honestly, I could believe it if they wrote parts of their bars. Especially after seeing all songs they have on their playlists. Like, Maya be listening to Tevin Campbell? Jurin listens to Nujabes? Hinata and Aaliyah? Harvey and Duckwrth? Juria and Lucky Daye?
Their music tastes are immaculate. I can 100% see them putting together these kinds of bars with such a diverse musical taste.
Where you seen this?
Nope. Sorry. Other than Maya, none of them are fluent. There’s a zero percent chance that Harvey wrote “rat race funny when hoggin all the cheese.” Zero percent chance Jurin wrote “make ‘em baboons squab and babble.” Zero percent chance Cocona wrote “they don’t know about that old school smoke, no Joe Camel.” XG is dope as they are. The truth is spectacular enough. No need for embellishments.
@@Organized82 you know you can write something in your native language, then translate it, and then have someone help you put in equivalent metaphors right? Not saying they completely wrote the lyrics. But its unbelievable to say that with such a diverse musical taste, that they WOULDN'T put in references to all the different songs they listen to into the lyrics to convey their personality.
@@Bran-ll5sr that’s possible, but do you think that’s what people mean when they ask “do they write their own bars?” No. In hip hop, you write your own bars or you don’t. None of this “oh here are my ideas…” nonsense. Nothing against the girls, they’re great at what they do and I don’t take away anything from them. But if they were really that heavily involved or actually wrote their own bars, they would lead with that info every chance they had, in every interview. The company would definitely highlight that aspect non-stop. The fact that they don’t, tells you everything you need to know. XG is amazing..the truth about them is spectacular enough. There’s no need to embellish anything or repeating stuff you want to be true when there’s no evidence supporting it.
Fact that they spin 3 language word play rhyming bars is so 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
As a Japanese I’m so proud of these two girls.
As a American pride I'm proud these girl so what your point
In addition, as a Japanese soul music lover, I’m very proud of XG. They are quite different from other K-pop groups, since they have R&B and Hiphop vibe definitely.
@@dylandillyd6076what is your point?…
Same ❤❤❤❤
@@dylandillyd6076
He's just saying that he's the same Japanese...
XG are something from another world ❤
Harvey- That's my ride or die plus I got 5 on it (giving props to Maya but also saying we got 5 more members just as talented).
Harvey- I can do this all day, no cap, till infinity- Marvel's Captain America reference.
Maya- Stats stackin' immaculately super saiyan slayin' it- Dragonball Z reference.
Maya- Raise the level again to the next layer, If you leave it to us, there will be no problem. (In another language).
The lyrics was written by them but led by their rap director, David Kim aka Day Day, who I think writes most of them. He is a close friend of Simon during Simon's K-idol days. If I'm not mistaken, both Simon and David were trained together. However, David debuted first in Dalmatian/DMTN but idol life did not suit him so he pulled out from the group and Simon came in. From then on, David worked as a rap director/trainer. When Simon started his company, he called David and without any question David agreed to help him.
Source?
Maya & Harvey ATE on this!💯
The girls gave props to Anderson Paak and Cordae in the video. Harvey's line: 다시 또 본때를 보여줘 paak'dae 곡에 대박행 'Show me your true self again, hit the jackpot with the Paak'dae song.' I'm happy that Cordea thought the song was fire!
and still he mock the girls, what a poor men
@@Tarma118 yea that was a bit shocking and sad even for me. I don't mind if he doesn't like the remix, but I don't think he needs to put that emoji where everyone can see it. Especially in a place where people can criticise any little thing nowadays.
XG Let’s goooo 🎉
Thank you for the reaction!! Can't wait for Tape 3-B 🔥❤ XG is the future✨
3-B's gonna make them flip out so hard!
Their live performance HITC NYC they are fire , Cocona, Harvey Nothin perform dope🎉😊
Oh man I was there and I wanna keep going back lol
4am yall killin me smalls gotta wake up to catch this one
I totally love this duo. Im all for Maya and Harvey droppin bars!
Yo Great reactions from people who know what they talking about MAD RESPECT 🫡 But idk y’all might need your seatbelts fastened for Jurin and COCO on Tape 3B 😂💯🔥
I have been looking forward to watching your reactions to XG tape #3.
They are so talented ❤
I had the same reaction like Dame when I heard the Bone Thugs N Harmony reference 😆. I’m originally from OH and I grew up listening to Bone Thugs back in the day…still listen to their music today!
One of the best reactions to Tape 3-A!! Thank you for this! These ladies are putting the work to show they ain't playing, they are the real deal! ❤🐺
So DemJointz shared this and Anderson Paak comment a 🤦🏾♀️ emoji. I was really disappointed by his reaction. These girls arent doing anything wrong and sounded good. I hate that they are starting to get hate from black people. Like I understand hip hop and rap originated with black people but theres nothing wrong with others participating as long as they are appreciating and treating the craft respectfully. That’s what they did here.
exactly!
I agree completely! I saw that post on Twitter and I love Anderson Paak but disappointed just like you. If he didn’t like Harvey and Maya’s cover/version then that’s fine too. I just wish he wouldn’t have posted his 🤦🏾♀️ reaction to it. I think the majority of people who are going in on XG are not even fans of them.
@@mariee1m you know what's sad. There has been a huge influx of new views on the original Cordae video coming from XG likely gaining new fans and then that response. :/
People saying that they use blaccent or pure CA like I don't understand.
Like I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I mean if Anderson didn't like it he could have just said nothing.
Who cares what Anderson Paak thinks?
JID came out and showed love for the cypher but people were still going at it in the comments.
The moral is don't waste your energy trying to please everyone.
I love how much fun they have and how the team really seems to respect hip hop even without the ladies writing their own raps (there's no way these references are theirs AND THAT'S PERFECTLY OK). I do think Simon and the team should be more forthcoming about who is writing them ESPECIALLY their mixtapes because it would give the ladies more credibility and authenticity and not give steam to things that haters could use against them. Y'all are gonna love Part B!
Thanks for reacting to this and supporting them appreciate it 🥰💯🥰
Definitely you guys are part of their success!
Let's go!! 🔥🔥🔥
Loved the reaction, XG 🔥
1080 I hear you!!! Glad you’re mic’d cuz you got knowledge! I was waiting for you guys! Looking forward to you reaction to Justin & Cocona. Thank you for keeping it real and dropping knowledge on these old school classics. These girls for sure are the real deal! XG let’s go!! 💫🐺🫶🏽💜🤙🏽
Cannot wait!!!! 😱😱😱
“Got my ride or die by my side plus I got 5 on it.”
One my favorite lines, shout out to LUNIZ, but also Maya is Harvey’s ride or die on this track plus she got 5 more ride or dies on it (the other 5 members)
The play on Bizzy Bone too 🤌🏽
As always thanks for supporting the ladies of XG. Since this was released, a lot of trolls and haters jumped in and attacking Harvey the most. No thanks to Andrew Paak who disrespected it when Dem Jointz tagged him. While Dem Jointz and Cordae gave props to the girls. The trolls are saying that these 2 new xyphers are a CA and AAVE type. I’m just glad you guys see it differently, thank you. Bet they have not seen tape 1 and 2, so pathetic. Paak since deleted his 🤦🏻♂️ comment in either twitter or instagram. Goes to show he knew he effed up.
Btw, they do have a lot of input on their lines and such.
I’m not surprised that there would be some backlash but imo XG are appreciating the culture and being respectful about it.
yes TRC Reactions go hard.
I KNOW Anderson .Paak ain’t talking? When he’s in a whole group with Bruno Mars who is NOT black whatsoever & is constantly doing funk/soul/r&b music. And I like Bruno, but there’s a lot of people who say Bruno is a serial cp. Anderson can sit this one out.
@@FckChantal absolutely
@@libraryofpapel absolutely and they love what they’re doing
I was waiting for your reaction!!! Well worth it y’all are the coolest and thank you once AGAIN for reacting to our girls XG 🎉❤
They grew up listening to Lauryn Hill, TLC, Destiny's Child, Faith Evans, Keyshia Cole, Kehlani, Mary J Blige, Missy Elliott, Ciara, etc.
That's not including their Pop influences which are from what I have seen....
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Justin Beiber, Carly Rae Jepsen, etc.
they killed it! 🔥 cant wait for jurin cocona reaction soon
Just wanted to say that you guys have definitely (on a grassroots level) helped build the popularity of these young lady's. Love your segments - keep up the good work gentlemen.
You guy’s reaction to this XG’s X-Tape is very informative with each spitting words they do. I’m glade you guys mention about old school hip-hop and rap.
glad to see some positivity on this theres been a lot of talk about their whole identity…i won’t go further. these are my girls so imma hype them up when it’s needed.
It’s XG’s World…we’re just living in it 🤩🤩🥰
i am waiting you guys to do XG reaction!!!!thanks!!!i agree~just smooth~they kill it~
There is XG tape #3 for Jurin and Cocona 💗
What's up my Bros! Cocona & Jurin dropped Tape 3-B, Let's Go!
They were studying some epmd, beastie boys "rock the mic right " and bone thugs lol... Omg I love them. "Pushing XP..." 🙌🏿
lets go TRC! love the authenticity of your reactions.
Not bang bang whispering "shoutout" after the shooting stars bar😭😭
I do enjoying CZcamsr reactions wayyy better than Tiktok.
I get so excited whenever y'all react to XG!
Tape 3-B reaction please!
ok that does it. you guys are officially top tier XG reactors!! thanks for your energiy and insights. subscribed
thx for your reaction.😊
Cocona and Jurin on the B-side are also waiting.❤
xgのreactionをしてくれてありがとうございます🐺💙
Waiting for XG Tape#3-B with Jurin and Cocona!!
Thanks for your reaction. XG and PD Simon definitely recognise you guys! btw I like your interaction with the lady. She has a nice voice.
Tangents make a good reaction. Awesome edit man. They def killed it. XG is 🔥🛸👽🐺
Waiting for XG tape 3-B with Cocona and Jurin
amazing
Still here.waiting for side B reaction. ( Sipping...)
Lol
This song has been in my head for daaaays omg
Given all the references in this and #3-B, I'm fairly sure "two twins or cool kids" was actually a shoutout to The Cool Kids which is a true Millennial indie rap deep cut and I'm blown away; most American fans of rap and hip hop that I've mentioned them to have never even heard of them. I'm so into XG, can't wait to say I was an early adopter when they get huge (they just had a video with Cosmopolitan so I'm guessing very soon.)
Omg soo good
Currently my fave reactors now they don't sugar coat their reactions ❤
I love XG ❤
They really ate it and left no crumbs, including the plates and the table
XG ARE MUSICAL JUGGERNAUTS.
Great reaction, fellas. They are really on the come up to turn a phrase. These girs are on fire and it is good to see them pay homage to Hip Hop, not like most KPop where the use Hip Hop without paying homage to the foundation. Simon had a plan and they are working that plan with a very (no extremely ) talented team of young ladies.
Looking forward to seeing Jurin & Cocona's reaction 🔥🔥
"Rock the mic right" and the eyepatch Maya wore in the Xypher = Slick Rick!
"Twp tens, times that (10x10), we keep it hundred (10x10=100)!
BARS!!!!!!
I love this cypher
Maya chan and Amy chan are angels 😍マヤちゃんとエイミーちゃんは天使だよ
This video is a really good tool for me to study English coz I’m Japanese and really wanna know what you guys are talking about XG🤭
❤❤❤
ＸＧ is no KPOP ,no JPOP

Tape-3 B nothin is out Hoping you check it out
somebody check on them when they watch part b
RAP Line XG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🖊🖊
Love all the girls but Harvey, man, I'll recognize her voice even when my eyes are close❤
I really thought you wouldn't react to XG when Differently Alike was with you guys in the last video 😭
???? I’m lost. Did they say they won’t react to them anymore? Genuinely curious
@@patrickreynolds889 Nah I just assumed cause it was a time when XG was in HITC NY and the hate train was growing
@@ammmm_4803 ohhh okay I wasnt sure if they said something. Yeah best not to assume I know that their schedule for reactions is FULL
Which last video?. I’m quite curious cause they have not reacted to XG in a very long time. I’m quite disappointed with them
So playful with the bars. Bone Thugs will never be outta style just went to their concert in March with Ice Cube & Xzibit too ❤ they playing to us mids 30 something’s cause it’s a throwback for us but they make it new. Can’t wait till I see the reaction for B side with my Coco 🎉
1:40 CHEAT CODE!❤😂😂😂
this rap style really suits Harvey! both Harvey and Maya delivered 💯
Just remember Maya is 17!
3B now 😂
thanks for ur reaction❤
i really don't understand how some blacks criticize this as cultural appropriation😕
Please support XG members when needed💫

1:18 بعد وقت طويل الرجال حصلوا على اغنية تستحق ان يتفاعلوا معها
For me coco and Jurin is more appealing and I loved there flow and old school vibe ❤🔥
I liked Cocona and Jurin tape 3, but honestly they got nothing on Harvey and maya on this… these two killed it! But cocona killed it on the last tape, so it’s fair… everyone doing they thang! 👏🏾
They need to rap with Jennie from BlackPink😂
