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.

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

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

Preach!!

I was about to say the same damn thing

It's out already

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

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.

Source?

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...

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.

3-B's gonna make them flip out so hard!

Oh man I was there and I wanna keep going back lol

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’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

Lol

???? 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

Didnt miss it at all. Thats why I kept saying it the way I did.
