These were the references from Cocona: "Prolly got more the 99 problems" - Jay-Z song 99 problems "I came saw conquered" - Quote from the song from the Jay-Z song 'encore' "put it on repeat like an encore" - reference to the song 'encore' "best rapper alive" - Jay-Z ad libs this in the original track at the end "with my X La Familia" - La Familia is a song off of Magna Carta Holy Grail "Galaxy empire state of mind" - Empire State of mind is a song with Alicia Keys off of The Blueprint 3 "Like a rock fell out the sky" - Rock-a-fella records reference "Am I a gift and a curse" - The name of The Blueprint 2 album "Come take a look at our blueprint" - Reference to The Blueprint album "Always ready to show and prove it" - Show and Prove is a song by Big Daddy Kane featuring Jay-Z, some would say Jay-Z's breakout verse
Cocona is the Maknae (Youngest) at 18 years old. She is the one that shaved her head in Woke Up. Her inspirations from a recent interview are Lauryn Hill, Tyler the Creator, and Keyshia Cole.
That's why she my bias. Cocona ain't afraid to come with that confidence n swagger. 😎 XG is legit a breath of fresh air in this era. No one else doin it like them and they all have the skill-set, talent, purpose, and drive to dominate. A lot of groups aim to be global, but XG just seems to be more aligned with that goal than any other that I've ever seen. Especially being from outside North America, it's damn near impossible for most foreign groups to breach the mainstream and yet XG be doin it.
EVERYONE they cover gets more views thanks to them! 🤯 Whether it’s a well established artist or someone not so known, everyone is getting love! … because they don’t just cover it. They always pay homage like you said.
Dope reaction. Yeah unless you know Jay-Z discography and other info you won't get the schemes. Also Jay did a track with Big Daddy Kane called "Show & Prove". Hip hop heads will appreciate this track most.
We know how Hov treats his belongings. Tells you a lot getting it cleared and published on YouTub. The Gift blue cd the Curse red cd both was part of The BluePrint2
You gotta do the rest of the Tape 4 joints. Maya spazzes. Harvey goes at the haters. And Jurin comes hard with that old school flavor. Nice reaction ✌🏾
All that in just a minute and a half. Cocona got that TLC look in this one. Another great breakdown, you caught most of the references in the first listen. Much respect. 1 down 4 more to go for Tape 4
This girl and group are amazing and so far, I’ve only had chance to watch your reactions. They are definitely going into my library, as soon as you’re done reacting 🤣. I’d never catch those references not with another beat in the background, you’re operating at a different frequency ❤
Young blood but built like an OG for real 👑Love all of XG but Coco is my main girl 💚 so much homage so many JayZ references 🐺♾️ much appreciated on the XG enthusiasm
What happens when Thanos snaps his finger? He turns people in to dust. CoCo jus brushes that dirt off her shoulder. You said this girl is the grimy one in Woke Up. Brah, you don't know how true your statement is. Meanwhile she is the adorable baby of the group. Don't you let these pretty faces fool you, Savage underneath. The Gift & the Curse is the title of Blueprint 2. CoCo not only did she meta that album, but she also threw it back to the haters referencing the culture.
One thing you didn't notice was her moves. It's exactly like what Missy Elliott did way WAY back in the day. Paying homage not only in her gear but her moves as well.
I wanna ask something since i RARELY encounter anyone who checks this who is actually familiar with the rap scene. Doesn't her voice KINDA sound like tupac ? especially when she says "huh" at the end of this song :D I wonder if you hear it
it's a subtle reference but my fav part is "meteor bars"/Rock-a-Fella also calls back to XG's 'Shooting Star' 🌠 (there's also a meteor bar in Maya and Coco's 'Show You Can' as well)
Yes 🙌🏽 I appreciate ever breakdown and analysis you’ve done on #XG’s Music. I love these Xtraordinary Girls. If you get the opportunity please react to their Documentary Series “Xtra Xtra” absolutely solidified my support of these Young Talented Girls. COCONA started at 11 years old…growing up with her wolf 🐺 pack. She was a BOSS at 13 years old. Meteor ☄️ bar can be connected to their Shooting Star 🌠 Song as well. I see small pieces of each song combined together that ends up on #Woke Up. Once Again, I’m thankful for the breakdowns. 🎼☄️💫🛸
Really appreciate you spent much time back and forth to catch all the lyrics. English is their 2nd or 3rd language (except Maya), so it may be slight hard to catch sometimes but they are doing good and fire!!!
TAPE #4: Big Mad by Harvey Million Cash by Maya Dirt Off Your Shoulder by Cocona Still Hot by Jurin Bonus* Trampoline I just wanna know where is the one take, nonstop Tape #1 Chill Bill?
Its a love letter to Jay Z
Never thought an 18 year old would body this. Insane
They've got an amazing team behind them
This is a tribute to Jay z. Dope
These were the references from Cocona:
"Prolly got more the 99 problems" - Jay-Z song 99 problems
"I came saw conquered" - Quote from the song from the Jay-Z song 'encore'
"put it on repeat like an encore" - reference to the song 'encore'
"best rapper alive" - Jay-Z ad libs this in the original track at the end
"with my X La Familia" - La Familia is a song off of Magna Carta Holy Grail
"Galaxy empire state of mind" - Empire State of mind is a song with Alicia Keys off of The Blueprint 3
"Like a rock fell out the sky" - Rock-a-fella records reference
"Am I a gift and a curse" - The name of The Blueprint 2 album
"Come take a look at our blueprint" - Reference to The Blueprint album
"Always ready to show and prove it" - Show and Prove is a song by Big Daddy Kane featuring Jay-Z, some would say Jay-Z's breakout verse
Came to say this... 🙌 Definitely a tribute to Jay Z
thankyou for this breakdown 🔥
Still has me baffled by how effortlessly these homage bars make sense being put all together.

The tape 4 videos all have subtitles if you wanna catch all of the bars! Tysm for the detailed analysis! I’m learning so much.
The way she pulled her hat down at the end like Jay-Z's Black Album cover...🔥
Great catch! He sure did do that
COCONA 🔥🔥🔥
早速反応してreactionしてくださりありがとうございます🎶

ALPHAZ ON DECK!! 🩷🩷
They’re never copying always appreciating and giving honor …. TRUE Queens! 👑
You gotta do the rest of the Tape 4 joints. Maya spazzes. Harvey goes at the haters. And Jurin comes hard with that old school flavor.
Nice reaction ✌🏾

Lo mejor es que ella escogió el outfit
Great reaction to XG as always ❤
Instant subscriber here! Will look forward to more of your XG reactions
Gift and the Curse is another Jay-Z reference. She makes about seven or eight Jay-Z song references.
CC is A talent for real😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫🔥
Young blood but built like an OG for real 👑Love all of XG but Coco is my main girl 💚 so much homage so many JayZ references 🐺♾️ much appreciated on the XG enthusiasm
A gift and a curse is also a JZ song
I knew it!! I wanted to say it but wasn't sure. I knew I heard that somewhere
@@FaceFamous X La familia :)
Tape 1, Show you can, Underfeated
You might not be into dance as much but Cocona does left eyes dance when she was sitting down the pointing up in the air
Yeah I notice she make the same movement of Left Eye in No scrubs
you can open the subs, not all but most of the videos have subs.
I’m learning so much from this man haha.
You gotta check out SHOW YOU CAN WITH COCONA AND MAYA

A Gift & A Curse is Gunna and issa whole album
Enjoyed your reaction on Cocona. Cocona been rapping since elementary. Cocona joined XGALX Entertainment when she was 11 years old.
Turn the captions on it’ll help you catch the bars so you can dissect them. Hope that helps. 😊

She really killed this Hov's Beat 🔥
You break it down so good!
Cocona, embodied this one. A fresh-young amazing rapper. As always, an awesome breakdown...XG4EVA 2024🤙☝️😌
One thing you didn't notice was her moves. It's exactly like what Missy Elliott did way WAY back in the day. Paying homage not only in her gear but her moves as well.
Glad to see you enjoying them!! 🔥🔥🔥
You gotta react to Tape 3A and the rest of Tape 4.
I wanna ask something since i RARELY encounter anyone who checks this who is actually familiar with the rap scene. Doesn't her voice KINDA sound like tupac ? especially when she says "huh" at the end of this song :D I wonder if you hear it
The way you understand every bar and appreciate her 🙌🏻🙌🏻
You’re good!
