Just want to let you know before you get yelled at lol...XG is a 7 member Japanese group. Although they are promoted and organized in the same manner as K pop group, they're not K pop. XG said they want to be referred to as an X pop group. They're a global group whose main sound is RnB and Hip Hop and who rap and sing in English. You guys should definitely check out more of them! They're fire!
No one "is kpop". Kpop is not a music genre, a music genre is defined by its sound, if you believe kpop is a genre then you should be able to convince me that Scream by Dreamcatcher and Where Are We Now by Mamamoo have the same sound. You can't do that, because they objectively have wildly different sound, they are a different genre of music, but both part of Kpop. Kpop also does not mean "Korean language pop music", because if it did then the kpop label should be stripped from any english version of kpop songs. Kpop is an industry, they have a way to creating groups and producing music. In that way, the same 2 groups and songs I previously mentioned fall under this definition, and so does XG. XG was created like any other Kpop group and vehemently insisted on taking advantage of all the kpop platforms benefits to be what they want to present themselves as. They are making moves that make them stray outside of these norms now, we can say they have a foot outside of the box like other artists who sometimes appear in the Kpop scene without checking all the boxes, such as AKMU or Heize or Jessi for example. But what I'm saying is just that trying to label them as kpop or not doesn't accomplish what you think it does because kpop is not a genre. And based on how present they are in the kpop scene, anyone calling them kpop is just as credible as anyone saying Twice is kpop. Or else we have to say their Japanese releases or versions of korean songs are also not kpop, and the group themselves is only 70% kpop because they have foreign members. Sound, language and nationality don't define if a group is kpop or not. The way they are established and make business is what defines kpop identity.
@@thechigirl2498I would have to disagree, because kpop is not actually just a music genre. that dosen't mean XG is kpop though and they don't say they are either, so that person is wrong anyway. but kpop is not a genre of music it is an industry, there's nothing similar about cry for love by baekhyun and stray kids 3rd eye music wise. it would just be stupid to call them the same genre music wise. they are both kpop but that's because they come from kpop groups, not because they are the same genre.

So just one thing I wanna add is though XG is for sure K-pop adjacent our 7 Xtraordinary Girls would like to be considered X-Pop they’re completely versatile in sound, and aren’t confined to one genre. If anything they always keep the elements of either Hip-Hop and/or RnB within everything they put out. With that being said this rabbit hole is one you won’t regret!
Yassss! So excited you did this one!! This was on my list of songs I wanted you to react to but had to sit patiently and pray for people to vote for it lol the bass in this song is everything 🔥 and yup she legit shaved her head, she a baddie! 👅
This song really resonates with OG hip hop heads because the members are studied in 90’s hip hop and R&B history. Cocona (the one that shaved her head has been rapping since 3 yrs old)
Oh, you guys are in for a treat. Especially Eric. These ladies are just eating, breathing hip hop. Especially old school. They all speak Japanese, Korean and English. Their big releases are all in english. 4 main rappers, but all singers and dancers. Highly recommend you check out their Tapes Series. Then their Vox Series.
Welcome to XG guys! 🐺 They are one of the most versatile girl group out there right now. Very talented and deserve more recognition for sure. More XG pls!!
I normally hate this style of music but XG will have m following with EVERYTHING they do. The fact that their main vocalists can rap and keep up with the main rappers and the main rappers keep up with the main vocalists is crazy and so rare in music groups. XG makes blackpink and StrayKids look weak. Not to mention that they are rapping in (most of) their THIRD language also adds some respect on these young women. You guys should check out their Winter Without You song, it will definitely show you the duality of this group and will also surprise you
Hi there, I'm so glad you guys got to this and hopefully it pulls you back into the fold. Their Tapes will definitely appeal to the rap fan in you (I know you both have one ;-) but their mainstream releases and Vox series have been high quality and entertaining too. For the Tapes I'd recommend chronological order: Tape #1: Chill Bill with Jurin & Harvey [no subtitles, mixed language] Tape #2: Galz Xypher (Cocona, Maya, Jurin, Harvey) [no subtitles, mixed language] Tape #3A: Two Twins (Maya & Harvey) [has subtitles baked in, but no translation for Japanese & Korean] Tape #3B: Nothin' (Jurin & Cocona) [has subtitles baked in, but no translation for Japanese & Korean] Show you can (Cocona & Maya) [no actual video--the lyric video is the best way to react. There is a dance performance video that's very impressive but it drops a verse] Tape #4: Big Mad (Harvey) [has subtitles] Tape #4: Million Cash (Maya) [has subtitles] Tape #4: Dirt Off Your Shoulder (Cocona) [has subtitles] Tape #4: Still Hot (Jurin) [has subtitles] Tape #4: Trampoline (Jurin, Harvey, Maya, Cocona) [has subtitles] All the Tape 4 are less than two minutes, so you'll probably want to gang them up. These are all also not published releases, simply promotional, so they tend not to get blocked by copyright, but your mileage may vary.
They are alone at the top when it comes to girl groups 🔥🔥🔥 they are RnB and HipHop heavy girl group !!!! Also they dance like a all male dance crew ! They break stereotypes and aren’t your basic cookie cutter cutesy group they are SPECIAL ✨
So excited to see you guys reacting to this!! Been hoping and waitin for it haha yaaaaaas They also have a whole rap line with cyphers and tapes you guys should totally check out, the cypher for sure^^
Love XG, going to see them in NYC in Oct. Their main style is very hip-hop and r&b-esque, but the music and the production is kind of all over the genres, you won't get bored going through their discography. There's a new song coming out on the 26th called Something Ain't Right, and from the teaser it's a UK Garage/Club production and sounds amazing. Definitely check it out when it drops
Great reaction as always xg is an all Japanese girl group but promotes mostly in Korea . There are 7 girls. aged between 18 a and 23. you have 4 rapers and 3 vocals but all of them can sing and rap and dance if you want to get to see them in there main roles watch the tapes( raping) and vox( singing ) on there youtube and also they have dances on there youtube under move . I highly recommend doing the tape and vox and move Both of you will love all the tape and will love the vox. I know you don't really watch dance video but there some metal and rap song in the dance video you will enjoy them
They don’t write their own stuff, which is the the quality mark of hip hop, or else it’s just pop. However mad respect for how they mastered the flow with their 3rd language
I'm so happy right now!! I love these girls. They are incredibly talented and I wish they could continue reacting to them. Thanks for the reaction guys🤗♥️
Great reaction! So happy to see you guys doing XG. New Dance has more of the pop feel. Even TGIF. But honestly? Every single song in their discography has its own flavour. They are so versatile that they’re in their own lane with a clear shot to greatness. You need to stay on this ride cuz it’s only the beginning!
XG killed with this! Best girl group!! And Stray Kids coming out Friday with Chk Chk Boom! Title track with Ryan Reynolds making an appearance! Might be in the new Deadpool soundtrack. The teasers are 🔥🔥
XG are changing the game! They’re on another level, truly. Their rap line can rap rap. XG da best for real. You’re gonna become BIG fans. HIGHLY SUGGEST LISTENING TO THE “XG TAPES” to see more of their raps.
Alphaz on deck. Love you guys. So glad you are tuning in to XG. They are 10000 % R&b hip hop. They trained and are headquartered in South Korea but they are fully R&b and Hip hop foundation. The real deal and they cover all kinds of sounds.
I am so happy to see you guys reacting to K-Pop again! You guys are my favorite reaction channel so I have definitely missed this. I really hope you keep going because there have been so many amazing releases on K-Pop recently and you would love it. 🙌🏻🎉
You guys are really cool to watch and thank you for doing XG's Woke Up. They're so fucking fire and blazing their own trails right now. Killing it at all levels, at such a young age, and with such a firm grasp on multiple languages. If you haven't seen their other stuff that IS a bit more pop-y, you should check it out. They have a certain je ne sais quoi about them even when they're bringing that familiar kpop/jpop/pop-pop shit that Kyle was mentioning.
they’re trilingual in Korean, Japanese, and English, and they go CRAZY with their rap verses. They’re not exactly kpop but they are taking the world by storm! Love them and love your channel :)
XG’s versatile. They can do any genre and slay it. Only girl group where everyone is an ace. You go down the rabbit hole, you’ll know why they are the best. XG!!!
Best lines: “find me in Tokyo, rapping in a skirt, are you catching my drift tho”
Yesssss
More XG…. They will become your new favourite girl group of all time. Promise.
Thats blackpink already 🖤🩷
@@LuisGonzalez-ix9cm lol
YES ! All their songs are in English too ! You guys will love them so much !!
Blackpink is their fav 😊 The original

@@charred6683 I’m not reading this whole dissertation of nonsense. K pop is a genre, a genre that has influences that stems from other genres…
I have an essay against these people but i know they wont read either 😂 XG is not Kpop for so many obvious reasons @@thechigirl2498

言いたいこと全部行ってくるてありがとう😊
MORE XG!!! They are going to be your new favorite Girl Group! Almost all of XG’s discography is English.
XG is 7 Aces ! Whether it's Rapping, Singing, or Dancing every member can Slay!!
They have No skips in their catalog. 💯
XG is a force to be dealt with so much talent
XG is the real deal. They are amazing - and they can sing, sing as well as the rap rap. and they dance like a dance crew!
So just one thing I wanna add is though XG is for sure K-pop adjacent our 7 Xtraordinary Girls would like to be considered X-Pop they’re completely versatile in sound, and aren’t confined to one genre. If anything they always keep the elements of either Hip-Hop and/or RnB within everything they put out. With that being said this rabbit hole is one you won’t regret!
Couldn't agree more
XG raps and sings only in english (so far) btw Judge and Jury was Maya😎
Maya is my FAVORITE! She's so cool and amazing at her flow
@@clairejohnson1299 Same Maya was the first that caught my eye
XG never dissapoints anyone. You wil love them more and more👽🐺
Yassss! So excited you did this one!! This was on my list of songs I wanted you to react to but had to sit patiently and pray for people to vote for it lol the bass in this song is everything 🔥 and yup she legit shaved her head, she a baddie! 👅
XG, as someone who has been listening to kpop for over 10 years, is one of my favorite groups. Top 5 groups.
Same. My other two favs are veterans at this point (SHINee and TWICE) but XG is right up there with them because they’re just on another level.
XG- Shooting Star.
Rock Remix Version.
You get Rock & Rap live.
Yes I was thinking they need to hear the rock version of Shooting star from their tour!
This song really resonates with OG hip hop heads because the members are studied in 90’s hip hop and R&B history. Cocona (the one that shaved her head has been rapping since 3 yrs old)
I think she started rapping in the womb. After all our girls are 👽
Yeah they’re extremely well-versed in old school hip hop and R&B which imo just gives them that much more authenticity.
XG 🔥🔥 These girls are amazing
Yes Cocona shaved her head. She's the youngest and a total badass!
Finally!!! Welcome back to our world! XG is badass
More more XG!!! 🔥🔥🔥
XG reactions
1. Tippy toes (debut song)
2. Shooting Star
3. Left right
4. Winter without you first take version
5. Rap Xypher 1-4
YES!!
Oh, you guys are in for a treat. Especially Eric. These ladies are just eating, breathing hip hop. Especially old school. They all speak Japanese, Korean and English. Their big releases are all in english. 4 main rappers, but all singers and dancers. Highly recommend you check out their Tapes Series. Then their Vox Series.
XG is better than most kpop girlgroup out there (my opinion) 😊
REAL!!!
Welcome to XG guys! 🐺 They are one of the most versatile girl group out there right now. Very talented and deserve more recognition for sure. More XG pls!!

Finally! Do the the Xypher next! It's fantastic.
if you want more XG rapping try these:
XG - TAPE #3A
XG - TAPE #3B
XG - TAPE #4 Harvey
XG - TAPE #4 Jurin
XG - TAPE #4 Cocona
XG - TAPE #4 Maya
Hi there, I'm so glad you guys got to this and hopefully it pulls you back into the fold. Their Tapes will definitely appeal to the rap fan in you (I know you both have one ;-) but their mainstream releases and Vox series have been high quality and entertaining too. For the Tapes I'd recommend chronological order:
Tape #1: Chill Bill with Jurin & Harvey [no subtitles, mixed language]
Tape #2: Galz Xypher (Cocona, Maya, Jurin, Harvey) [no subtitles, mixed language]
Tape #3A: Two Twins (Maya & Harvey) [has subtitles baked in, but no translation for Japanese & Korean]
Tape #3B: Nothin' (Jurin & Cocona) [has subtitles baked in, but no translation for Japanese & Korean]
Show you can (Cocona & Maya) [no actual video--the lyric video is the best way to react. There is a dance performance video that's very impressive but it drops a verse]
Tape #4: Big Mad (Harvey) [has subtitles]
Tape #4: Million Cash (Maya) [has subtitles]
Tape #4: Dirt Off Your Shoulder (Cocona) [has subtitles]
Tape #4: Still Hot (Jurin) [has subtitles]
Tape #4: Trampoline (Jurin, Harvey, Maya, Cocona) [has subtitles]
All the Tape 4 are less than two minutes, so you'll probably want to gang them up.
These are all also not published releases, simply promotional, so they tend not to get blocked by copyright, but your mileage may vary.
Should definitely check out their tape #4 MV's. 5 videos each under 90 seconds, straight bars. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐺🐺🐺
omg please check out more of them!!
XGGGGGGGGGGG
Something Ain't Right is coming on July 26th! Don't miss it!

They are alone at the top when it comes to girl groups 🔥🔥🔥 they are RnB and HipHop heavy girl group !!!! Also they dance like a all male dance crew ! They break stereotypes and aren’t your basic cookie cutter cutesy group they are SPECIAL ✨

Thing I like about XG is they never follow trends, they stay on their lane and the rule that lane
So excited to see you guys reacting to this!! Been hoping and waitin for it haha yaaaaaas

Excellent reaction as per usual
You guys are really cool to watch and thank you for doing XG's Woke Up. They're so fucking fire and blazing their own trails right now. Killing it at all levels, at such a young age, and with such a firm grasp on multiple languages. If you haven't seen their other stuff that IS a bit more pop-y, you should check it out. They have a certain je ne sais quoi about them even when they're bringing that familiar kpop/jpop/pop-pop shit that Kyle was mentioning.
Xg tape 4 reaction ❤
they’re trilingual in Korean, Japanese, and English, and they go CRAZY with their rap verses. They’re not exactly kpop but they are taking the world by storm! Love them and love your channel :)
