I’m still in disbelief we actually got a girl group - a Japanese girl group !! That is CULTURED , can rap , sing, dance, has old school swag and is centered and influenced by old school hip hop / rap vibes and is bringing that sound back… pure talent and hype. No wonder ppl are finding reasons to hate them! They ain’t use to this…
@Banana what’s that gotta do with anything? Or how is that an issue that takes away from anything.. Lol their still delivering them A1 perfect, flowing with it, and making it hit. Key word here is you “doubt”… it’s not impossible coming from already so much talent..
@Banana no one cares who writes it. When you find a good song, do you get curious about who wrote it? No you dont. No one checks the credits. What matters is how the performer delivers.
@Banana well none of the girls aside from maya are even close to being fluent in english so its a given 95& of the english lines are written by someone else... give them time.. rememberin they're all still very young
i am trapped in the XG matrix. the raplines of this group is insane. Maya/Harvey are the cute vibey twins and Jurin/Cocona are the old school swag-tastic ones . i was looking for my Kangol for a minute 😂. both were great. Simon deserves an award for XG.
Hi guys! Thank you for your reaction. I guess you know how deep XG members love the music of black people. I understand that. I’m a 73 years old Japanese male. Since I met soul music and dance, 55 years have passed. I can’t listen to the other music than soul music and I can’t stop respecting black people. I think XG girls may be similar to me. Finally I am an ALPHZ.
I appreciate everything you say but I feel sad we live in world where you have to say you love black people otherwise people will by default believe you dislike them. Sadly, that's the negative stereotype that Asians have to experience.
Trust me I been a fan of a lot of girl groups since wonder girls..But when I discovered XG,I didn’t realize that this the group I was looking for..Full blown unity group,charisma and talents..Especially the swag and dancing skills..I was sold..I just saw them here in NYC and can’t wait to see them again in LA couple days after my birthday..It’s gonna be amazing turn out
I gave you a like caused you mentioned Wonder Girls who brought me into Kpop. Oops this reaction video should be about XG, so i gotta say these gals are going somewhere plus they are obviously aiming at the global market other than just the Asian market. why? maybe a lot of reasons but singing all songs in English is definitely one of the many reasons.
Ahhh so jealous...I saw them at HITC NY too, but can't go to LA because I have Lollapalooza passes for basically the same dates...otherwise I'd be there!!!
@@sta090806 My goal is to see them in every festival and concert here in the US..I hope they will go to Europe(Germany) and Philippines some days..Definitely going to see them there as well..They always brings new things in their performances
I still cannot believe how ultra elite XG's lyrics writers are. This is a masterclass in clever rap writing, the references and double meanings are beyond insane. Then they get out there and deliver it with that massive talent and swagger and everyone's heads just explode, I love it.
I feel like xg is one of the only groups in South East Asia that actually understand and knows Black culture while loving it, embracing it, and appreciating it. Like it's really refreshing to know that these girls actually love hiphop and r&b. It's not just because of the label or what's popular, it's because that's what they grew up on; that's what they know. Plus, they give so much homage and Alphaz get to go back to the original creators and enjoy their music as well. Getting to see who inspires them is really cool, nostalgic, and a great way to represent Black culture.
Simon really did THAT. These girls had the talent and were worked to actually really learn and appreciate the culture. They are the change and the improvement. As someone who is a blackjack, you know my standard is really tough to reach because 2NE1 is just levels, but I can definitely tell that these girls are for real. Asia got a representation that is polished and ready. Let's go XG! And the haters can just sit and stare at this point because you will never catch anyone who is black, who has something against them. They are clean and clear with it.
the haters they talking about bc the internet trolls on twitter and tiktok (aka gen z softies) complaining about black culture vultures and them wanting to be black and all that other bs. but like everyone on youtube and everywhere else vibing asf!!! they are appreciating old school rap!!
I’ve noticed the ppl that actually are complaining are young minded new generation thinking kids that are Twitter stans and tik tok based. The kind that view the world in racial lens. XG is attracting old school heads and actual fans of old school hip hop and rap. Aka adults lmao… and I love that. The difference between UA-cam reactions and tik tok reaction is very clear. I hope XG continues their thing, they killing it
Totally agree with you..When I first discovered them on their song ‘Tippy toes’ I fell I love with the group because they reminded me of Pussycat dolls..But when I saw their xypher i fell In love with the group even more because someone who’s half Filipino-black American and lives in NY loves 90’s-2000’ rap Hiphop..I didn’t see it as they appropriating the culture..I saw it as they embraced the culture..Love me some XG baybiiii
and most of the time they don’t even focus on or critique the talent/bars/flow of the rap they just see red and worried about how they dressing or how they say certain words or if they have a “blaccent”…… never focusing on them actually being good at rap it’s soo funny
@@pinkychai what really gets me is the whole “stereotype costumes” that they say XG does. Like their rappers ?? Of course their gonna dress like rappers , sound like rappers, and have rapper type flow that’s familiar. That’s the whole point no? Lol. Regardless it’s all love and I guess it just takes certain minds to see that.
XG'S rapline can be a Hiphop supergroup on their own 🔥🔥 The swag. The wordplay. The references. The flow. They answered the fkng critics and haters on this track. Damn.
I loved Lisa & Jennie from blackpink but when I found out XG these 2 stands out for me. They give respect to old school hiphop more talented to those 2 psycho who sing island boy RIP😂.
Man ya' got an eye. Cocona said when she was 3 y.o. hearing Hip Hop just made her body move on it's own & from then on she has embodied hip hop since but even now more than b4 thats why she has that natural swag. In an interview asked about Tape #2 Maya's quote was "All of us were involved in choosing the beats, lyrics, and flow, which allowed us to show more of our personalities. So as young as they are now in 5 yrs they'll do their own lyrics. Simon was born & raised American n left to Korea to be an Idol Group DMTN so hes feeding XG the old skool sound. Love ur reactions great job
XG has not just the best female rap line but one of the best rap lines in Asian music history. The fact that Cocona is the youngest and isn’t even a full grown adult yet is just.. insanity. Hell, majority of the girls can’t even drink legally in America and they are all killing it. “Mann” - Bang Bang voice
Thanks for the reaction guys and thank you for not bashing the girls. Whenever you get to watch XtraXtra#4 you will see this is who Kokona is. She has been a hip hop baby since she was like 9. She is getting a lot of hate but hey a lot of people will finally see that she loves hip hop.
What kind of hate does she get? Too young to rap all these things? I only watch and follow XG through YT and IG and not familiar with any other platforms they’re on specially in Korea and Japan. Genuinely curious because I don’t know how people can hate and not enjoy the greatness in front of their eyes.
No matter how you look at the XG tapes, you can't deny that they have talent. It doesn't really matter if they're writing their own lines or not imo, cuz they deliver them so well and with so much swag. You can tell they put their all in their delivery. Proud of these girls :D
Yes! Exactly what i was thinking. At this point, its a plus if they are writing their own but if not its cool too because they can definitely deliver and perform. There’s a video on youtube of Cocona teaching one of the members how to rap which goes to show how these girls try to perfect their craft. 👌🏽👌🏽
"Appropriation" is not even in the conversation here IMO!! There are MANY young American rappers in the current scene that lack the knowledge **OR RESPECT** for the classics of hip hop that XG has demonstrated so incredibly proudly. Not to mention, that as a 34 year old lifetime "backpacker," who's long since become disillusioned with the state of the modern American rap scene, XG's sheer SKILLS, actual, genuine real rapping skills-- not just mumbling, 10 lazy bars and bounce, in 3 languages no less-- has given me a renewed sense of hope for the future of REAL hip hop that I haven't felt in years. These girls are the real deal! If you like hip-hop and value the actual technical fundamentals of hip hop, it's obvious that Cocona is a naturally gifted talent when it comes to cadence and flow. It is unreal!
Something special going on here. The way everything perfectly aligned. The timing for everything has been impecable. They made their first multisong performance at KCON (Must see Performance) in their home country and then a week later made their first US trip in front of a very large crowd. All of this while thier reality show and documentary are airing. Perfect timing for releasing the Tapes. XG is freight train with no brakes at this moment.
Language barrier, small body, racial discrimination… there are some disadvantages for them but their passion and souls are beyond all borders!🔥❤️🔥 they just want to show what they love, what they can do and how they can improve 😆💕💕💕
This is the most pausing and rewinding I’ve seen y’all do in a long time 🤣. I’m glad that y’all see XG is appreciating the culture. Whenever XG releases their 1st album, I’m hoping that one of the tracks will be a full rap song…no singing on it!
Thank you for saying music is the ultimate unifier!!! Yesssss they definitely did their thing!! For sure they will be breaking idol stereotypes, and people are scared!! I really appreciate your comments!! XG deserves all the praise and more! Much love 💕
They are literally too much. If you aren't excited for the next thing XG drops - I can't help you. They are beyond "oh, I'll put them on my channel because the views go crazy" and well into the "I don't know what's next, but I am hype!" I love all of them; the plan is working, the girls are blowing up (as they should).... But I want to know what they're feeding Cocona - no one should have that much swag - especially at 17!?!?!?! Nah. And Jurin? Every time you see her, you know she's the leader - and not in a "I'm the boss, and the rest of team does what I say" way, but in the "this is my team, I got their backs, so y'all gonna have to start with me" kinda way. She just oozes earnest, joyful self-confidence. I am so happy for them. I'm glad they are blowing up, and wish them all the continued success in the world (literally). I appreciate the genuine support and admiration that you show XG. Cannot wait for the next one, whatever, whenever....
Yoooo...Thanks so much for your reaction video! Totally agree that XG is redefining the wrap game while paying homage to those who came before. I have this sneaking suspicion that Cocona and Harvey are going to be the break out stars of XG!
I feel like I've been introduced to so many great artists because of XG's tapes and the inspirations the group take for their original songs too and, as far as I can tell (I'm not American), they do it super respectfully. I'm so happy to have discoverd them and even happier to see you guys hyping them and praising their work. XG is truly succeeding in their purpose.
Hell yeah. Knew you guys would love this one based on your 3A reaction. Hoping Simon comes through in the comments for you like he has with other reactors. Just a heads up, Cocona's name is pronounced similar to "coconut" (without the T of course) and not like the Pokémon "Kakuna" or "cocoon" (with an A).
What's crazier is that even the Korean (and english) bars are crazy. Like at 2:34, Jurin is basically saying, "Look, $@&! all the drama we just count the commas" 🔥
I swear to whatever exists, the day they finally have hold their own concert, they’re gonna blow the whole stadium up or more than that💚😮💨🤌🏻 THEY SLAYIN IT!!!! Top tier girl group everrrr🤯💓
They put a smile on my face... The nostalgia. The rap line... killin' it. I know Japanese artists are authentic when it comes to rap culture... old school, they continue to morph. Coco is in the music like Bizzy Bones 👍 She Tim's & Shank ready too.
literally breaking the idol stereotype, before most of female idols have long hair, it's like a must when your in an girl group, then they started changing into bob cut, to pixie cut, then Cocona came in freaking shaving her hair in international social platform. Now that is epic.
Wildin out without carrying a canon : 1st meaning Wildin out without carrying a Canon ( nick canon ) : 2nd meaning Wildin out without Carrey n a Canon ( Mariah Carrey and Nick Canon ) 3rd meaning bruh if that aint a f*cking BAR AND A HALF i dont know what is... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been saying for awhile now that the team behind XG have been giving a masters class on debuting a group. And wether by planning or luck they have had things happened at the right time to propel them forward. And the way it's happened they haven't been overexposed and left you waiting for more. Just look at the timeline. First all their pre-debut was finished product not videos of trainee performance. They showed the versatility of the group. They showed the groups dancing ability as a crew and individually. They showed their vocals with Chisa and Juria, I don't think Hinata was comfortable enough yet with English. And their rap line with Jurin and Harvey, here I think they purposely left Cocona back because they knew what they had. Then they drop Tippy Toes and while a few reactors mention how understated it was, I think that was on purpose. Without a flashy production on the beat and video, there is nothing to distract front vocals, rap and choreography. They added some more flash to there production on Mascara. I think they used this time to get the girls used to doing shows and interviews and to get Hinata more comfortable. Now is when timing and luck comes in. They decide to release their next set of Voxs and the Xypher. Here is when they decide to really release Cocona out into the world. I think they knew she had what it takes to go viral and that's why she wasn't featured rapping in pre-debut content. They wanted her to get used to the stage lights before putting her in the spotlight. Now Cocona goes viral and everyone is asking who is XG. You now have reactors reacting to the Xypher and then all previous content. And then just when interests is at it's peak they drop Shooting Star and Left Right. And they just built from there. Next thing you know you have Jackson Wang and Ciara doing a remix of your song. You get invited to KCON Japan and HITC NYC while releasing a documentary and appearing weekly on a variety show. Then they perform to new songs in NYC and release videos for them. Now they are heading to HITC LA where I wouldn't be surprised they perform to songs that will probably be from an album released right before or after that performance.
You can't just phone it in when you do this. This is just in their DNA. Naturally getting high on music. It's evident in their performance. COCONA does indeed vibe like BIZZY BONE, and I'm here for it.😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
📌Best reaction yet! ❤️🔥I love that you love these days tapes as much as I do. And that you appreciate them paying respect to the OGs as much as I do. XG Gals rap line are as they say “Pre Gods, that means they on the come up” 🔥🎶
I love your reactions, guys! *XG is on another level.* But, man, reading the comments here, I can definitely say that UA-cam comments are widely different from TikTok comments.
totally agree very well said, they are just THAT group, they are the future, they will be legendary... glad i became an Alphaz... we are witnessing something phenomenal and historical
The best reaction! Hope XG and Simon sees this and shares this to show appreciation! Can't wait for more XG! Their new episode 4 for their Documentary just dropped.
Thank you for the great reactions guys. As always A1. Ace, thank you. You just summed it up. They embrace hip hop and R&B culture while paying respect and homage to the old school. I appreciate all that sir. Thank you and the crew for always supporting the girls. Let’s not have those haters have a platform to put them down
XG are very refreshing to see . They are very talented . They released tape 3 while being on the east coast , i would like to see a tape 4 when they go to the west coast in a few months form now. Using west coast beats from classics like Dr Dre, or Bone Thugs and many more . I feel like these rap line up is making up for all those artist that failed before them . Its crazy to see that now you see 3 languages drop in a bar , very dope . All i said if you like music, now! its a very good time to be alive ! ❤
You want to know the difference between these guys reaction videos and everyone else? These guys are older heads. They understand music better. They interpret lyrics and bars better, and they know real hip hop. All these other reaction videos you see and 90% of them are all young bucks who never listen to the real hip hop days. So while watching their reaction video you see no reaction cause they just don’t know! They never listen to N.O.R.E or Bone Thugs so their for on tape 3A “Mya Harvey be getting busy like bone in harmony” I wonder if those young reaction video tubers even know who Bizzy Bone is or any of his solo album music????
Months behind slow old head checking in! I was on the original and saw comments mentioning XG, & was like now wait a friggin minute! Already liked their Left Right..now I'm shook. All my worlds are combining! Music is a wonderful connecting force!
The respect to real genuine hiphop classics and artist !! XG Is doing it in such a way that don’t seem disrespectful and copycat ! Fresh, new, but inspired by the OG’s I love XG and Simon
Ace over there, angrily happy 😂 Upset that it's so good. That's the best way to be. Bangx2 also really vibing and just really vocally enjoying himself. Great reaction from all of you. Dame, time to rip the youtube videos onto an mp3 lol.
Hey, congrats! Simon dropped some appreciation emojis😊 I loved loved your 3-B reaction too. And I appreciate how XG and the community is introducing me to lots of good music like Noreaga and Bone Thugs 'N Harmony. Went to check the video of them performing live. Amazing🔥
Yes 🙌🏽 XG DUO’s are bringing the old school 🚌🎶✨ HIP HOP RAP. I loved hearing them shout out to the OG Artists. 🥰🙌🏽. They are definitely ROCKIN’ it on the 👸🏻✨👸🏻🎤❤️🔥. The XG standard as TRILINGUAL QUEENS has definitely impacted the AZN idol stereotype. I’m older so I grew up in a community where we called each other HB & HG back in the 90’s so this is NOSTALGIC for me. Everything they put out is 🔥. TY TRC for the support and positive comments with your review. 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🐺
Who be hating XG? Those that accuse them of cultural appropriation and calling them "negaeboos". All I know is XG loves hiphop culture but people get sensitive over nothing and complain.
Funny that if people ask any of kpop idols esp the rappers who's their idols are 90% of them won't be any black artists. Yet, these girls have been saying n proving us multiple time that they really admire and inspired by a lot of black artists. People accusing them of blackfishing..i mean it's not their fault that a lot of black reactors like them and see no problem with them doing hip hop right.
People nowadays judge of what they see,not what they know. These haters just mad because their favorites about to get cooked or been cooked and they’re not having it.
I'm 51 and watching these girls just takes us back to that beautiful time in history when there were no boundaries on us loving each other because 90's music was just that. We all gelled. ❤
Also those clothes y'all love were our older brothers hand me downs, even the girls that didn't have older sisters lol. We still dress like that just in neutrals though😂
Arigato gozaimasu, for your loving reaction to XG. I discovered your channel when their Tape 2 was out, and has become one of my favorite reaction channels. So much fan to watch and And yes, I also think that you guys definitely are a part of XG’s success on YT!
Simon put together a fabulous team both singers, writers and producers. You’re right that they are changing the industry. They are the now and the future leaving behind kpop. They are so much better than kpop. The producers are both Japanese American and black rappers from Atlanta. There’s a collaboration with black rappers from Atlanta. There’s a video that shows them on a studio putting together Shooting Stars with a black rapper singing the original song.😎🤟🏽🙌🏽🔥💪🏽❤️

Perfect description of Cocona. I noticed how whenever they're not in choreography she moves to the music like she's at one with it.
Jurin is the leader for a reason. She has it down. Still gonna hope they drop some heat on a 5lack, Loota, or even a Kohh beat.
2 AM EVEN WORSE! That's when XG drops content hahaha. Jk love ya'll lookin forward to this one too.
Something special going on here. The way everything perfectly aligned. The timing for everything has been impecable.
They made their first multisong performance at KCON (Must see Performance) in their home country and then a week later made their first US trip in front of a very large crowd.
All of this while thier reality show and documentary are airing. Perfect timing for releasing the Tapes.
XG is freight train with no brakes at this moment.
ITS SO FUN SEEING YALL LOVING XG AND HAVING FUN😊😊
Language barrier, small body, racial discrimination… there are some disadvantages for them but their passion and souls are beyond all borders!🔥❤️🔥 they just want to show what they love, what they can do and how they can improve 😆💕💕💕
This is the most pausing and rewinding I’ve seen y’all do in a long time 🤣. I’m glad that y’all see XG is appreciating the culture. Whenever XG releases their 1st album, I’m hoping that one of the tracks will be a full rap song…no singing on it!
Thanks for supporting xg appreciate it ❤️🔥❤️
Paying homage to the genre.. haters just want to be noticed but they above that and you all above that via professionalism! Mad respect 🫡💯🔥
Thank you for saying music is the ultimate unifier!!! Yesssss they definitely did their thing!! For sure they will be breaking idol stereotypes, and people are scared!! I really appreciate your comments!! XG deserves all the praise and more! Much love 💕
XG going to the moon! so swag for Cocona and Jurin
They are literally too much. If you aren't excited for the next thing XG drops - I can't help you. They are beyond "oh, I'll put them on my channel because the views go crazy" and well into the "I don't know what's next, but I am hype!" I love all of them; the plan is working, the girls are blowing up (as they should).... But I want to know what they're feeding Cocona - no one should have that much swag - especially at 17!?!?!?! Nah. And Jurin? Every time you see her, you know she's the leader - and not in a "I'm the boss, and the rest of team does what I say" way, but in the "this is my team, I got their backs, so y'all gonna have to start with me" kinda way. She just oozes earnest, joyful self-confidence. I am so happy for them. I'm glad they are blowing up, and wish them all the continued success in the world (literally).
I appreciate the genuine support and admiration that you show XG. Cannot wait for the next one, whatever, whenever....
XG’s entire rap line is so GOOD!!! The vibe, the flow, the bars, the swagger, UNMATCHED FR
Let's go XG🔥😎💓
Yoooo...Thanks so much for your reaction video! Totally agree that XG is redefining the wrap game while paying homage to those who came before. I have this sneaking suspicion that Cocona and Harvey are going to be the break out stars of XG!
I feel like I've been introduced to so many great artists because of XG's tapes and the inspirations the group take for their original songs too and, as far as I can tell (I'm not American), they do it super respectfully. I'm so happy to have discoverd them and even happier to see you guys hyping them and praising their work. XG is truly succeeding in their purpose.
The fact that Jurin first verse was talking about Cocona. The under 16 girl going viral…. I love it
Hell yeah. Knew you guys would love this one based on your 3A reaction. Hoping Simon comes through in the comments for you like he has with other reactors.
Just a heads up, Cocona's name is pronounced similar to "coconut" (without the T of course) and not like the Pokémon "Kakuna" or "cocoon" (with an A).
What's crazier is that even the Korean (and english) bars are crazy. Like at 2:34, Jurin is basically saying, "Look, $@&! all the drama we just count the commas" 🔥
XG is the real thing. So much better than any kpop group. These girls can really rap rap. Luv them!🙌🏽🔥💪🏽😎❤️
I swear to whatever exists, the day they finally have hold their own concert, they’re gonna blow the whole stadium up or more than that💚😮💨🤌🏻 THEY SLAYIN IT!!!! Top tier girl group everrrr🤯💓
XG needs to blow up and be the biggest group on the planet. Nobody rn in gen 4 got what they got💪
They put a smile on my face... The nostalgia. The rap line... killin' it. I know Japanese artists are authentic when it comes to rap culture... old school, they continue to morph. Coco is in the music like Bizzy Bones 👍 She Tim's & Shank ready too.
literally breaking the idol stereotype, before most of female idols have long hair, it's like a must when your in an girl group, then they started changing into bob cut, to pixie cut, then Cocona came in freaking shaving her hair in international social platform. Now that is epic.

bruh if that aint a f*cking BAR AND A HALF i dont know what is...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OMG THANK YOU i saw some ppl talking abt that line but i didnt get it but now i do 🙏🏽
I've been saying for awhile now that the team behind XG have been giving a masters class on debuting a group. And wether by planning or luck they have had things happened at the right time to propel them forward. And the way it's happened they haven't been overexposed and left you waiting for more.
Just look at the timeline. First all their pre-debut was finished product not videos of trainee performance. They showed the versatility of the group. They showed the groups dancing ability as a crew and individually. They showed their vocals with Chisa and Juria, I don't think Hinata was comfortable enough yet with English. And their rap line with Jurin and Harvey, here I think they purposely left Cocona back because they knew what they had.
Then they drop Tippy Toes and while a few reactors mention how understated it was, I think that was on purpose. Without a flashy production on the beat and video, there is nothing to distract front vocals, rap and choreography. They added some more flash to there production on Mascara.
I think they used this time to get the girls used to doing shows and interviews and to get Hinata more comfortable. Now is when timing and luck comes in. They decide to release their next set of Voxs and the Xypher. Here is when they decide to really release Cocona out into the world. I think they knew she had what it takes to go viral and that's why she wasn't featured rapping in pre-debut content. They wanted her to get used to the stage lights before putting her in the spotlight.
Now Cocona goes viral and everyone is asking who is XG. You now have reactors reacting to the Xypher and then all previous content. And then just when interests is at it's peak they drop Shooting Star and Left Right. And they just built from there. Next thing you know you have Jackson Wang and Ciara doing a remix of your song. You get invited to KCON Japan and HITC NYC while releasing a documentary and appearing weekly on a variety show. Then they perform to new songs in NYC and release videos for them. Now they are heading to HITC LA where I wouldn't be surprised they perform to songs that will probably be from an album released right before or after that performance.
We need that xg debut album asap
Just a new song will be enough for me 🥺 but if album or ep drop that will be crazy..
"music is the ultimate unifier" I LOVE HOW YOU PUT THAT OUT😭
This is why i’m a XG fan since the beginning 💥😩👌🏽they never disappoint
You can't just phone it in when you do this. This is just in their DNA. Naturally getting high on music. It's evident in their performance. COCONA does indeed vibe like BIZZY BONE, and I'm here for it.😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
📌Best reaction yet! ❤️🔥I love that you love these days tapes as much as I do. And that you appreciate them paying respect to the OGs as much as I do. XG Gals rap line are as they say “Pre Gods, that means they on the come up” 🔥🎶
I love your reactions, guys! *XG is on another level.* But, man, reading the comments here, I can definitely say that UA-cam comments are widely different from TikTok comments.
One can never take tiktok seriously…ppl there are a joke lol
@@winnieouyang7802most definitely shouldn’t take what is said on TikTok seriously. TikTok be the new home for fakes, hatin Twitter trolls
Trc go!XG all the way
All the way until the end! 🫰
I've been saying it all week. XG's love letter to hip hop.
Jurin and cocona are so ahead of the game is not even funny…. No women rappers out there are better than them …. Xg is just 🔥🔥
loved the reaction
This might be my absolute favourite reaction you guys have ever done! Loving it for real!
Shout out to TRC for keeping their reactions real and not over reacting
Six of the seven XG members are barely conversational in English but I can't believe they can rap like this. It's so surreal!
totally agree very well said, they are just THAT group, they are the future, they will be legendary... glad i became an Alphaz... we are witnessing something phenomenal and historical
The best reaction! Hope XG and Simon sees this and shares this to show appreciation! Can't wait for more XG! Their new episode 4 for their Documentary just dropped.
Finally!! One of the reactions I’ve been waiting for, thank y’all so much for what you do ❤
Xg just straight fire
I AM 50 YEARS OLD..And in more then Twista or KQ1 or Lyft Queen Lay..I AM MORE THEN EMPRESSED...When ever the TICKETS HIT ❤❤❤❤😂
Thank you for the great reactions guys. As always A1.
Ace, thank you. You just summed it up. They embrace hip hop and R&B culture while paying respect and homage to the old school. I appreciate all that sir. Thank you and the crew for always supporting the girls. Let’s not have those haters have a platform to put them down
I keep watching this reaction (and the 3A) over and over.
Their reactions and energy makes the MV even better!🙏👍🫶😁🔥
BUCKLE UP.. XG LETS GOOOO 🫡🔥💯
the way you all stan cocona 😂 she’s amazing
You guys are DEF THE BEST “Reactioneers” when it comes to XG! They are well on their way to putting the rest of the World on notice! 🤩🤩🥰
XG are very refreshing to see . They are very talented . They released tape 3 while being on the east coast , i would like to see a tape 4 when they go to the west coast in a few months form now. Using west coast beats from classics like Dr Dre, or Bone Thugs and many more . I feel like these rap line up is making up for all those artist that failed before them . Its crazy to see that now you see 3 languages drop in a bar , very dope . All i said if you like music, now! its a very good time to be alive ! ❤
You want to know the difference between these guys reaction videos and everyone else? These guys are older heads. They understand music better. They interpret lyrics and bars better, and they know real hip hop. All these other reaction videos you see and 90% of them are all young bucks who never listen to the real hip hop days. So while watching their reaction video you see no reaction cause they just don’t know! They never listen to N.O.R.E or Bone Thugs so their for on tape 3A “Mya Harvey be getting busy like bone in harmony” I wonder if those young reaction video tubers even know who Bizzy Bone is or any of his solo album music????
This is the best reactor for xg type B ... i watch many times🤣
Undefeated. Undisputed.
Lets go! 🔥🔥🔥
Months behind slow old head checking in! I was on the original and saw comments mentioning XG, & was like now wait a friggin minute! Already liked their Left Right..now I'm shook. All my worlds are combining! Music is a wonderful connecting force!
They are Monster🦋👽🍄
The "Coco Beware" reference tho...grew up on WWF, so I loved it
The best female rappers in “kpop “ they know a lot of old school hip hop
The vocal so beautiful
Rap vocal dance .... just everything
I'm ready! Let's go! Whoooaaa (Ric Flair version)
Here goes another bigger crown for being the best reactors ever 🫴🏻👑🙇🏻♀️
🙏🥹💚
サイモンさん❤❤❤
サイモンー❤️❤️❤️
XG LETS GOOO! GREAT REACTION ABOUT THE HATERS! 💥💫 XG!!!!
I've seen all of your reactions to XG, and I like this reaction the best! And I was the happiest.Thank you🥹💖from🇯🇵
Ace's face at the cannon bar lmaooooo same
The respect to real genuine hiphop classics and artist !! XG Is doing it in such a way that don’t seem disrespectful and copycat ! Fresh, new, but inspired by the OG’s I love XG and Simon
Xtra Xtra XG XG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 They got new fire!!!!!
Ace over there, angrily happy 😂 Upset that it's so good. That's the best way to be. Bangx2 also really vibing and just really vocally enjoying himself. Great reaction from all of you. Dame, time to rip the youtube videos onto an mp3 lol.
Hey, congrats! Simon dropped some appreciation emojis😊 I loved loved your 3-B reaction too. And I appreciate how XG and the community is introducing me to lots of good music like Noreaga and Bone Thugs 'N Harmony. Went to check the video of them performing live. Amazing🔥
Shout out to you guys this was the most satisfying reaction I've seen for this, so much fun 💙XG!!!
Yes 🙌🏽 XG DUO’s are bringing the old school 🚌🎶✨ HIP HOP RAP. I loved hearing them shout out to the OG Artists. 🥰🙌🏽. They are definitely ROCKIN’ it on the 👸🏻✨👸🏻🎤❤️🔥. The XG standard as TRILINGUAL QUEENS has definitely impacted the AZN idol stereotype. I’m older so I grew up in a community where we called each other HB & HG back in the 90’s so this is NOSTALGIC for me. Everything they put out is 🔥. TY TRC for the support and positive comments with your review. 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🐺
This girls are fire 🔥
The XG ep 4 documentary just got released earlier. No English subs yet, but another wow moment. So much talent.
Who be hating XG?
Those that accuse them of cultural appropriation and calling them "negaeboos". All I know is XG loves hiphop culture but people get sensitive over nothing and complain.
Funny that if people ask any of kpop idols esp the rappers who's their idols are 90% of them won't be any black artists. Yet, these girls have been saying n proving us multiple time that they really admire and inspired by a lot of black artists.
People accusing them of blackfishing..i mean it's not their fault that a lot of black reactors like them and see no problem with them doing hip hop right.
Those people are true appropriators of culture accusing XG for cultural appropriation lol
most of them are not black but white and asian who don't know the different between Appreciation and Appropretion.
People nowadays judge of what they see,not what they know. These haters just mad because their favorites about to get cooked or been cooked and they’re not having it.
@@BINI_8_FOREVER Exactly 🙋🏻♀️❤️🔥
My selfish dream/wish: I want to see Missy Elliott and the XG rap line collaborate on a track
I'm 51 and watching these girls just takes us back to that beautiful time in history when there were no boundaries on us loving each other because 90's music was just that. We all gelled. ❤
Also those clothes y'all love were our older brothers hand me downs, even the girls that didn't have older sisters lol. We still dress like that just in neutrals though😂
Arigato gozaimasu,
for your loving reaction to XG. I discovered your channel when their Tape 2 was out, and has become one of my favorite reaction channels. So much fan to watch and And yes, I also think that you guys definitely are a part of XG’s success on YT!
man an interview or something between yall and Simon would be so sick to watch. its gotta become a reality some day!
Best reaction so far. Best Duo XG Jurin and Cocona 🔥
So awesome these girls. Nothin for real like them. Awesome reactions❤❤❤
Simon put together a fabulous team both singers, writers and producers. You’re right that they are changing the industry. They are the now and the future leaving behind kpop. They are so much better than kpop. The producers are both Japanese American and black rappers from Atlanta. There’s a collaboration with black rappers from Atlanta. There’s a video that shows them on a studio putting together Shooting Stars with a black rapper singing the original song.😎🤟🏽🙌🏽🔥💪🏽❤️
that Joe Camel line 😂
They don't want that old school smoke. 😆😆 💪🏾
@@Docavelli like how do they know that? 😂
リアクション動画ありがとうございます！！
最強な二人です💕💕💕
