Their producer, creator, CEO Simon, born in the USA, Seattle Washington, his father is Japanese and his mother South Korean, he moved to Korea with his mom, then he started his career as a Kpop rapper idol, then as Dj producer, so that's what they are doing why they are doing, he also works with producers from USA as well,so they basically reference, pay tribute and respect to american rap, hip hop and r&b music
@@boja8975 Of course, I'm not taking credit away from the girls, the 7 of them are incredibly talented, they passed a cast of thousands of girls obviously brought that talent with them, the team behind XG... what they did was polish that talent and put it in a way that feels fresh and yet pays tribute to that past music, I just added context to why their music feels so captivating and why it feels so familiar globally or here in occident.
Brother, I’m 45 and I grew up a hip hop head in the late 80’s and got deep in the game in the 90s. XG is the most genuine group of girls that were taught real hip hop and they are embracing and respecting the shit out of it. I saw them in Vegas and San Francisco and there were many 35+ year olds at the shows. That age group naturally gravitate towards them cause their music is what we grew up listening to. And yes, they are better than most recent American acts. Welcome to the rabbit hole, bro. You will enjoy it. I’ve been in it since 2022 and I’m planning to never leave. Now go listen/react to HOWLING.
When Coco shaved her head their CEO is sitting just off camera looking scared to death. Lol him and Maya are sitting there and he's looking like a father being like... "I can't believe she's doing this...why am I letting her do this?" But that's just it XG the whole team is behind these girls to do their thing and the team will present it to the world. The staff absolutely lost it like a bunch of them rush up afterwards and are like "You are soooo cool!" They instill that feeling even in people right next to them.
The crazy part is, Dancing is their forté. They're basically a dance crew that can sing and rap excellently. Their "worst" dancer would be a main dancer in another K-Pop/J-Pop group. 😂
XG was never intended to be a pure dance group. The info is wrong. The girls are an all-round group who want to achieve perfection in everything they do.
"What the FUUUUUUUUCCKK!!!"🤣Yup, that's been my reaction to every one of their songs since I came across them in 2022! Alphaz keep saying XG don't miss & we say it because it's true!!
Brotha!! Can they dance???? Dancing is their strength!! Bro… the rappers can sing, the singers can rap, they can sing live, they can sing live dancing, and dancing is their strength. They - don’t - miss bro.
Not tripping! I’m 54 and went to see XG in Vegas in October. They put on a hell of a show!! Simon (producer JAKOPS) built the project from the ground up and they have an amazing documentary on their channel. Love your reaction!
50+ old head right here. I co-signed when I first heard them a couple of years ago. They not only rap. They sing and dance at an elite level. They can do any genre though. Hip hop, R&B, Pop, Rave, They even have a cut that give British Garage vibes. You gotta keep digging. But understand, you're not going to hear the same thing all the time. They do rap, but then they'll hit you with something unexpected. Can't wait to see you take this journey. Nice reaction ✌🏾 🐺👽🛸
私は日本人の55歳で、RUNDMC、Beastie Boys、Public Enemyなどを聞いて育ちましたが、彼女らには驚きです。多分、彼女たちの親は私より年下で９０年代から２０００年代のHIOHOPを聞いていて、ラッパーの子達は子供のころから確実に親の影響を受けているから上手いのだと思う。I'm a 55 Japanese who grew up listening to RUNDMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, etc., and I'm amazed by these girls. I think their parents probably listened to HIPHOP from the 90s to the 2000s, and the rappers are so good because they've been influenced by their parents since they were born.
Their manager/producer, Simon, spent a significant amount of time in Atlanta working on producing unique sounds with r&b flavor; you’ll hear it in their pronunciation. All the girls sing and rap in Japanese, Korean, and English. While born in Japan, they train and produce out of South Korea. Two of the girls speak nearly flawless English. Part of their training incorporated English pronunciation classes, besides dance, rap, and vocals. Simon is a perfectionist, and the close-knit girls have taken on this responsibility as well. Wait until you see them move as a dance crew in MOVE videos & hear their amazing harmonies in FIRST TAKE WINTER WITHOUT YOU. Welcome to X-Pop and the world of ALPHAZ! 🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥💪
XG are child prodigies. Super talented, all can rap, all can sing, and dancing is probably their biggest strength if you can believe it. Howling MV, and then I’d check out their side quests, with their rap line ‘XG Tapes #1,2,3,4 and then go to their dance series with ‘XG Move 1,2,3,4 and then vocal line ‘XG VOX 1,2,3,4,5,6
Not trippin OG, they're that good and their respect for the culture is palpable, love your reaction and respect for XG! Keep it up! You're dope! LOVE that you catch all the small details.
Let me just say, if you go down the rabbit hole, I'll be there for every hour of it. TBH, watching your reactions feels like reliving my own discovery of them. Your emotions and observations are pretty much the same as what I went through and I can tell it's not just surface level fanboying. Also, I live in Japan and have had my eyes on the music industry here for close to two decades, and XG is by far an absolute anomaly. I was asking my self "how is this even possible" the entire way through.
Yes they can dance also LOL As a 51 year old black man who grew up on hip hop & R&B since the 80s these girls are continuing the legacy of dope music that started over here. I found out about them earlier this year and have been a fan since. Sing rap dance perform and more. They toured the US a few months ago and have a documentary out which showed how they were "formed" and what it took to get to this. FYI the "bald headed one" Cocona started in the group at 11 she's 19 now (Maya the other spitter you paused on before Cocona is the same age). They've been training to get in the group for a minute and their dedication to their craft shows. And yes inspired by mostly 90-00's hip hop and R&B.
38 here, you wont be disappointed with XG. I believe their track Left Right wil become one your favorites. Including the choreo so I would suggest the MV and the dance practice (fixed version).
XG is a group that can rap like that and then also bing able to do a rnb ballad where all of them beautifully harmonize when they sing. Then you find out all the girls are also incredible dancers who have amazing stage presence and sound incredible live when they rap or sing.
WELCOME TO THE RABBIT HOLE. Enjoy the ride. As a millennial, these girls just hit that nostalgia spot just right. Like you said it’s the swag, the cadence that seals it for me, ain’t NOONE doing it like this. Your reaction was my same exact reaction when I first found them. Then they dropped “HOWLING” and I couldn’t believe that they keep doing it.
you are doing yourself a disservice by avoiding it. Embrace it. Enjoy it. The Alphaz love react videos. They will continue to show you love. I would highly recommend “left right” if you are a big RnB fan.
And it is refreshing hearing young girls rap without needing to curse every bar or sing about their private parts and shaking their naked booty in a video! I’m no prude. Just happy something young girls can look up to. They have quality lyrics and not the lazy easy way out with nothing but obscenities and sex. A breath of fresh air! Love them. Sing, rap, dance, swag, class.
"If they can dance, they are a PROBLEM." Yeah, they can definitely dance. But they are a good problem to have. You'll enjoy finding out more. I saw them in Chicago and they were fantastic live too.
These are my girls brother. Great reaction! These young ladies kill everything in sight when they do their thing. Within the fandom we say, "XG don't miss!"
😂😂😂the swag drips out the screen. These girls are elite! Japanese girl grew trains in Korea, all singing English and rap English. Training for about 5 years. English is your third language.
You not tripping OG these girls were brought up in a lab studying all the great American rappers and they are fire 🔥🔥🔥 and they are super talented dancers I love XG ❤ Alphaz✌️on deck XG for life 🌏👸🧚♂️👽🐺👌👍✌️
A lot of XG lyrics often refers to their lore theme of an alien wolf pack going out to conquer another world. Metaphorically, it is like them are from Japan and now living in South Korea and aiming for global success. They are about to perform at Coachella 2025! 😃 Also, they said it themselves that they grew up listening to the OG western artists. The youngest self-shaved bald rapper, Cocona, started rapping since 3rd grade after she started listening to Kehlani and TLC. 😃 Yes, they can dance dance and will do it live. It is a fact, many professional dancers/reactors admitted they want these girls to join their crew. 😂 To make matters worse for current generation of western artists in America, these ladies can also sing sing. They love R&B especially old school R&B. 😃 Check out their newest old school R&B inspired song In The Rain. There is no music video for this song, but they did upload the audio video and this song is in full English. 😃
i discovered xg and woke up during the summer and it was LIFE CHANGING. your reaction was me for like 2 weeks straight with my mind absolutely blown. enjoy the journey down the rabbit hole, they’re so amazing.
XG is the number 1 group in the world right now, no doubt about it, these girls rap like they're fucking black, that's why a lot of semi-professional rappers in America really like them, no group in KPOP can do what XG does, even XG is not in KPOP, FLOW and DELIVERY are world class, no group can rap like these girls, I can confirm that, they are not like any other group, they are disrespected in Korea because they are all Japanese and their dressing style is unique but doesn't fit the standards of KPOP IDOL so they are disrespected by KPOP fans, even so they still have their own path, their music thinking can destroy the entire KPOP industry right now, XG is on a very high level and no one can touch them
Watch their documentary. As I said to someone else once an art is released to the world it becomes open to interpretation and adaptation. So XG shouldn’t surprise us that they can rap,sing and dance what should surprise us is how polished they are but the documentary shows you that they did the work to get here. Determination and dedication!
7 Girl Group. All Japanese. XG stands for Xtraordinary Girls. They are calling their style X-Pop. ALX is the "Label" that is owned by Simon who is a former J-Pop / K-Pop star. They have been working for 5 years since they were all in their early teens. Speak fluent in Japanese, English and Korean. Sing, Rap, Dance. Age range is like 19-23. They are strongly influenced by 90s-Early 2000s Hip Hop, R&B, Pop. They ooze pure Swag. They learned from the US scene from 30 years ago. Welcome to the ALPHAZ (which is the name of their fan base). Watch "Left Right" to feel that 90s feel. Or pure homage track with "Nothing"
I'm 45..... XG also popped up on my Algo. Their creator is from Seattle and I also know some music came from an Atlanta based Producer. The girls are 🔥🔥🔥 and at the same time pay homage to whatever style they are putting out there....because they are very versatile. I am a DJ with a natural direction towards HipHop, R&B, & all types of House music. They hit on all levels. Try Left Right. Tapes #4 3A&3B ...Enjoy the journey!!!
Hi! I'm Japanese and I enjoy your reactions! They are a group of 7 Japanese girls, selected from 15,000 people at an audition in Japan. After that, they trained in Japan and Korea . English, dance, singing, etc. for a joint Japanese-Korean super project. Most of the girls are not native English speakers.
Yeah, I don't think Simon gets enough credit... I've watched a lot of reactors and this is the first person to ask "who brought these girls together" ... Simon is genius and the girls love him, which always warms my heart. XG is 8 not 7.
Loved your reaction to this lol. You are not tripping, these girls are nice with it. I am the same age as you and got hooked to them after this song because if you just listened to it without looking at the video you would think like you said they were some East Coast rappers, but nicer with it without using curse words or being raunchy with it. Then learning that English is their third language is whats crazy as well. You need to now watch the choreography video for this.
i'd love to see more reactions to XG! check out all the XG TAPES for more of their rapping. and honestly you can react to anything on their channel because they just don't miss!!!
@@OGReacts-w2o hope after reacting to XYPHER you react to their TAPE 4, and then react to XG's SHOW YOU CAN, i get goosebumps listening to them rap, they scare the hell out of me
i've followed XG for just over a year now and already been to 2 concerts. they're gonna blow up real soon as they deserve it. you're still early though. XG heading to Coachella in 2025 too
They have an amazing documentary series of how they were created and put together. They are all hella talented from an early age and just getting better and better. Highly recommend watching that.
7:16 Cocona (the one that shaved her head) might have actually been born with this. She came into the program that put the group together already as a prodigy
OG, I’ve seen some comments of people kind of coming at you sideways cause you were questioning where their swag came from. You already nailed it where it came from, these girls STUDIED their inspirations. On the other hand, I don’t blame the people that left those comments because there are people hating on XG claiming cultural appropriation when it’s in fact cultural APPRECIATION. Keep doing ya thing and enjoy this rabbit hole.
What’s great about XG is they touch every race and demographic. They have no limit. Their discography has zero skips. Each of their releases are a mood/vibe to whatever you’re feeling that day. Thanks for reacting and showing support for XG
And you are correct, never had I seen anything like this it's a gift from God.. I produced songs all my life 61yrs old ..it's a breath of fresh fukn Air.. watch all of there training videos, 5yrs of working on this..
XG is the truth! I’m telling you! But they are Considered XPOP which is their own genre. However they consider themselves Hip Hop and R&B. Btw they are all Japanese. Raised in Japan, but live in Korea.
Jealous of you cos this will be the best obsession OG. Wish I can go back to when I found them 2 months ago. You’ll eventually realize they’re a dance crew that can rap rap and sing sing.
FYI, their ages are 23 to 19 years old…( currently…) The rapper who started the video, she is the group leader - Jurin ( 22 ) , and the youngest is the girl who shaved her head- Cocona (19)
American music has become so widespread that it is affecting street culture around the world. I'm not saying these girls did grow up on the streets but they definitely are aware of the culture so it isn't surprising to me that they can do this
Some of this information may have already been shared because I initially did not go too deep into the comments, but the members of XG were chosen amongst a very vast number of other girls before they started training from 2017 - 2021 and then debuted with "Tippy Toes" in 2022! XG was definitely "created" by the GENIUS of JAKOPS ( Simon Junho Sakai )! That man had the exacty VISION of what XG was going to be he just needed to find the girls to make it happen and I will say he may 7 PERFECT choices !
Welcome to the alphas🐺🐺!! Gen X here too! They are spitting bars that take me back to the good days! Dive down the rabbit hole, everything they do 🔥🔥🔥 they’re trilingual-Japanese, Korean, and English. Check out the tapes for rap and the vox for vocals
These girls were born like this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 check out their documentary to see how they came up, they have all been talented and destined to be doing what they do. 🔥🔥🔥
You aint trippin'. I'm an old school Hip Hop/R&B head and these girls have been knocking out of the park for me since I discovered their first Cipher track. Every member is a triple threat and it shows they are fans of the golden era of Hip Hop and R&B. They worked hard for where they are at and they've been putting this group together for some time. Let me put you on to "In the Rain" by XG it will take you down memory lane. Also recommend checking Babymonster "Like that" (it is all in English). If you want to go down another rabbit hole check out Carpetman - Anyway, I love it
I’ve been following XG for about two years. They are game changers and super talented, each one of them could be a star in their own right. They are a special group, can’t wait for what they do next.
Yeah Jurin's confidence and swag comes from her... PROFESSIONAL Snowboarding Background... yeah before joining an idol group she was a paid snowboarder. By 22 Jurin already completing side quests that most people aim for as life long goals. She's going to be on stage at Coachella this year. Coco... even in the documentary where you hear from her when she is JUST 12-13 she talks like she was born to be a star and we're all getting the privilege of her becoming a star and yet she didn't sound like a punk kid she sounded just so sure that you were like... "Yeah I believe you kid."
You are right XG is not K-pop they are hiphop and r&b global Japanese performer group. And the reason why they rap like that is cuz they are under a strong influence of old school music they are bringing the past hiphop and r&b flavor with XG’s music to the music industry
When I say I am SO in LOVE with XG ! You hit on some keys points that I was thinking when I first encountered XG ! I said the same thing...NO girl group USA or abroad was doing wht XG was doing in EVERYTHING ! Dancing , Rapping and Singing ! No girl was doing it !
With all the love in the world. American and or African American isn't a ethnicity it's a nationality with a very strong culture...which can absolutely be taught. What makes American great is that it's an amalgamation of many countries cultures
You're not tripping. No sir. XG IS THAT GROUP! They are a problem. A dance crew. A Hiphop supergroup. A vocal powerhouse all merged into one. Oh you're in for a treat, because XG Rabbit Hole has no limit. 😊❤
English is to pretty much all of them their third language, I would maybe except Maya and Harvey from that - Maya pretty much speaks English fluently (which shows in her raps, her speed and diction hits haaarrrd...) - Harvey is half Australian but spoke English more when she was younger, so she is not that fluent anymore. But they can all speak Japanese (which they mainly speak), Korean and English. The CEO of their label XGALX is Simon, born in the US and was a KPOP Idol himself. He's the mastermind behind all of this. He and his team selected the girls, trained them for 5 years and is heavily involved in the concept of the band (intergalactic aliens/wolf pack). He produces and writes a lot of XG's songs, some of them in collaboration with American producers/writers. They gonna be at Coachella 2025, which will put a lot of eyes them - I hope they explode after that, because I have never seen a girl group this well versed (they can all dance, sing, rap and perform on a very high level) paired with great songwriting and a cool concept that leaves all the doors open for them creatively. They can do cutesy KPOP-like songs, but can also spit bars at their haters - and both feels naturally...
@@averageatbest8146 Thanks! I just discovered XG like 3 weeks ago and they consumed all of my free time in those past weeks (without any regrets). Stumbled up on "Woke Up" by accident, was impressed, then saw "Howling" and that was it - hooked. Went through their whole discography, all the Tapes, Vox, Move videos, then the documentary and up until just yesterday caught up to the latest XG Days and XTRA XG episodes. So happy they booked Coachella - can't wait to see what the girls, Simon and his team will cook up for this. This team is special.
you made so many great points, i found myself nodding along with your thoughts. its true , they werent born into the hip hop culture , and they underwent extreme training since very young , but i still think all of them have that "it" factor that you simply cannot learn. this confidence can't be faked.
maya went to an international school in tokyo. shes always spoken english. the oldest member is 23 now and youngest is now 19. the other members are learning english 8:55 maya is the one rapping in the court room. she usually gets the lines that are faster and longer since shes fluent
ALPHAZ ON DECK 🐺👽🛸 First of... lmao @ "that lil bald one" her name is Cocona and shes all that since she was a tiny lil baby. My favorite from the rappers is Maya but this is a group where i can truly say every member is my favorite on something. They are all beyond amazing cant go wrong picking any of them as a favorite. Btw, Cocona has been rapping like this her whole life just about. In a documentary they have about this group, im pretty sure she said since she was 3 yrs old. Wait until you hear her sing and YES....THEY ALL DANCE AT AN ELITE LEVEL. Sometimes, i forget they sing and rap because they could be a dance group on its own without anything else. But they also sing and rap at an elite level as well.Thats why XG stands for Xtraordinary Girls! Their fandom is Alphaz because they have a lore, which is that they are aliens with wolf DNA (and they each have a designated color and superpower). The girl with the red hair (first rapper and find me in tokyo bar) is the Leader of this space wolf pack and her name is Jurin. They are all Japanese, with another rapper named Harvey being half Australian and another member...a vocalist named Hinata is half korean. Members are: -Jurin (pack leader and rapper) -Cocona (rapper and youngest in the group) -Maya (Rapper and Vocalist) -Harvey (Rapper/unique tone) -Chisa (Vocalist, Sub Leader, Oldest member of the group) -Juria (Vocalist and always has dark hair and bangs) -Hinata (Vocalist, dancer, always has blonde or some sort of light/different colored hair) 🐺👽🛸
Hello friend, glad you reacted to our girls :) Let me provide some info for you and for your followers. This is a 7-member(ages 18-22) Japanese global girl group ( 4 rappers and 3 vocalists but they all can do it all ). They operate in both Korea and Japan but they are not a K-pop group, they almost always sing in English. They can speak Japanese, Korean and English and English is their 3rd language. They mostly do Rap and R&B stuff but they are really versatile, you will see all kinds of songs from them. These girls have bars actually. COWBOY REACTS has a 35-minute breakdown video on this song and has another 1-hour video of him breaking down GALZ XYPHER which is the rap song XG blew up :D Other reactors have breakdowns of their other rap songs, especially the TAPE's, in which they use the beats of "known" songs and sing their own lyrics. They pay homage to OG's and show respect all the time. They have tons of references etc. They are basically a shape-shifting alien wolf pack from another galaxy and they have a lore. The eye thing was always prominent in XG music videos. You can see them keep changing and evolving etc. You'll see if you watch all their music videos. "Shooting Star" tells the story of them wanting to shoot off into the Stars to achieve their dreams. "Left Right" shows them travelling across the galaxies. "HESONOO&X-GENE" is them awakening from hibernation before reaching Earth. "GRL GVNG" is XG's arrival on Earth. "TGIF" is their evolution commencing on the planet. "New Dance" is them exploring their new environments "Something Ain't Right" is them trying to blend in with humans but still being unable to contain their powers. etc. etc. WOKE UP is kinda like them taking over or getting ready to take over. Their different songs/MV's represent different ERA's of their arrival to Earth ( not Earth per se but planets in general I assume ) and taking over. You can check the zoomed-in eye shots in these MV's and see the differences. They used those eye thingies in other songs like Shooting Star as well. I am not 100% sure what eye represents but my interpretation is that it shows their evolution or it basically shows they are aliens in a cool and visually pleasing way. I am sure they have a more detailed lore but we as the fans don't know much details yet. They also have tons of references and easter eggs in the videos. For example, in the first Maya verse, it is like a court scene and Maya says "I'm the judge and jury" and she is addressing the "haters". There are people around in wolf-heads who are the witnesses ( which are the fans - their fandom name is Alphaz, WE are the witnesses ) and a guy is being judged with the upper half of his head missing. He represents the haters so they are no-brain, only talk. Also, you can see there is a building at the start and at the end and, a guy approaches it. He is the CEO of XG's label. Basically, he is XG's boss, but in the video, he is their commander. So while Maya taking the haters to the court, the other girls are coming in from the multiverse to attack the haters' """"head-quarters"""". You can see in the end it is in the shape of a head. It also blows up, so it means they take down the haters but it can also mean, after you finish watching the video, your minds are blown. EXTRA : Cocona shaving her head can be interpreted in multiple ways. Saying F U to the beauty standards of the industry? Also, XG got some shade because of their outfits, hair styles, lyrics etc. ( Coco had braids for a lil while, so basically saying here, I cut all off, what now ? ) saying that they appropriate black culture ( they actually don't, they love the culture and they pay homage all the time. They don't pretend, they grew up with those songs, and their inspirations are the biggest old-school R&B, hip-hop, and rap artists mostly from the USA, they sing their songs, they use their beats, they shoutout and everything ) also, it appears she already did that when she was younger and wanted to do it again. The label didn't want her to until now since it fits the concept and MV so she did it in this MV. That can mean a lot of things but it's a bold move either way and it is fun, it is swaggy and it suits her personality. She is one of the swaggiest , coolest people I have ever seen. She is so badass. Example of Cocona and Maya rap at the age of 13 from their documentaries; ua-cam.com/users/shorts177boFdwO6c
I love how genuine this reaction video is. As an XG fan, I was giggling and had a big smile on my face the entire time I watched your video. When we first discover XG, especially as hip-hop fans, we get this blown-away feeling and crazy goosebumps because of their rhythm, swag, and tones. Then we start to wonder, "How can they sing like this???" I could tell you went through exactly the same emotions while listening to Woke Up. Thanks for keeping it real-I hope your channel makes it big! :)
You're not trippin.-these girls are fucking amazing. More reactions please. Just know that they don't usually go this hard, but all their songs are good. Check out Left Right for a smooth 90's R&B girl group song, or Winter Without You (the first take version PLEASE) for some killer harmonies.
"who put these little asian girls together ?" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, ur funny unc i like you, hope you react to more XG in the future 🔥🔥🔥 and you are so real when you reacted to the bald headed cocona's bars for the first time she really has that effect
Nah. You r not tripping. Their music is American hip hop and R&B. Their producer is born in Seattle and an American (half Korean and Japanese). He has been exposed to multicultural cultures. He was the first guy who was able to mix all three cultures. So what you are listening is hip hop and K pop choreography added to it. So it is new idea and they call it XPop and that make XG so XG and unique among all other group. That is why they capture new audiences like you or myself who were never into girls group or K pop before.
🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥🔥"this little bald-headded one is a BEAST" - had me in tears.
She's my favorite!
Cocona is the truth!
lmfaooo
Cocona snatching up another one! 😂😂
FACTS!!!
Their producer, creator, CEO Simon, born in the USA, Seattle Washington, his father is Japanese and his mother South Korean, he moved to Korea with his mom, then he started his career as a Kpop rapper idol, then as Dj producer, so that's what they are doing why they are doing, he also works with producers from USA as well,so they basically reference, pay tribute and respect to american rap, hip hop and r&b music
They are doing their thing.
His mother* you wrote her
@m363k4 oh sorry fixed now
You can’t really ride some of flows without being born with a little something. You can’t teach all of what they’re showing in this vid.
@@boja8975 Of course, I'm not taking credit away from the girls, the 7 of them are incredibly talented, they passed a cast of thousands of girls obviously brought that talent with them, the team behind XG... what they did was polish that talent and put it in a way that feels fresh and yet pays tribute to that past music, I just added context to why their music feels so captivating and why it feels so familiar globally or here in occident.
Brother, I’m 45 and I grew up a hip hop head in the late 80’s and got deep in the game in the 90s. XG is the most genuine group of girls that were taught real hip hop and they are embracing and respecting the shit out of it. I saw them in Vegas and San Francisco and there were many 35+ year olds at the shows. That age group naturally gravitate towards them cause their music is what we grew up listening to. And yes, they are better than most recent American acts. Welcome to the rabbit hole, bro. You will enjoy it. I’ve been in it since 2022 and I’m planning to never leave. Now go listen/react to HOWLING.
Done! Go check it out
React to Black pink : Pink Venom
I am 45 as well and they really appeal to our generation while they keep things fresh. What I love is how much respect they put into it.
@@66slyderclock in that 9 to 5 brokie
HAH yesss i am 39 and my husband is 48 and we saw them in San Francisco and it was fire! They are so cool and I can't wait to see them live again!
When Coco shaved her head their CEO is sitting just off camera looking scared to death. Lol him and Maya are sitting there and he's looking like a father being like... "I can't believe she's doing this...why am I letting her do this?" But that's just it XG the whole team is behind these girls to do their thing and the team will present it to the world. The staff absolutely lost it like a bunch of them rush up afterwards and are like "You are soooo cool!" They instill that feeling even in people right next to them.
She's rocking her buzz cut... I love her confidence ❤
And the XG rabbit hole opens...
They trying to pull me in!
@@OGReacts-w2o its okay just let it happen, it's nice down here 😂
@@OGReacts-w2otoo late
The crazy part is, Dancing is their forté. They're basically a dance crew that can sing and rap excellently. Their "worst" dancer would be a main dancer in another K-Pop/J-Pop group. 😂
F-ing facts.
I actually discovered them when I stumbled upon Move #1. I legit thought they were a professional dance crew like female Jabawockeez.
@@dlong96652 here😅 this Group build differend
simon has never marketed the women as a dance crew. they are a hiphop & rnb japanese girl group before dance crew.
XG was never intended to be a pure dance group. The info is wrong. The girls are an all-round group who want to achieve perfection in everything they do.
As a 50 year old, i haven't seen anyone like these girls!! Especially Coco. The one who shaved her hair. And yes it was real.
Well.. Jeon SoYeon is a better rapper but Cocona is close
"What the FUUUUUUUUCCKK!!!"🤣Yup, that's been my reaction to every one of their songs since I came across them in 2022! Alphaz keep saying XG don't miss & we say it because it's true!!
That made me laugh so hard! I loved it! Yes, Cocona's swag is intense
Sir this is the proper response to discovering XG. Are they as good as they seem in this video, no...they are better!
You just might be right!
Brotha!! Can they dance???? Dancing is their strength!!
Bro… the rappers can sing, the singers can rap, they can sing live, they can sing live dancing, and dancing is their strength. They - don’t - miss bro.
Iam telling u thier insane
Not tripping! I’m 54 and went to see XG in Vegas in October. They put on a hell of a show!! Simon (producer JAKOPS) built the project from the ground up and they have an amazing documentary on their channel. Love your reaction!
50+ old head right here. I co-signed when I first heard them a couple of years ago. They not only rap. They sing and dance at an elite level. They can do any genre though. Hip hop, R&B, Pop, Rave, They even have a cut that give British Garage vibes. You gotta keep digging. But understand, you're not going to hear the same thing all the time. They do rap, but then they'll hit you with something unexpected.
Can't wait to see you take this journey.
Nice reaction ✌🏾
🐺👽🛸
Thank you!
also 50's here and 100% here for everything XG
私は日本人の55歳で、RUNDMC、Beastie Boys、Public Enemyなどを聞いて育ちましたが、彼女らには驚きです。多分、彼女たちの親は私より年下で９０年代から２０００年代のHIOHOPを聞いていて、ラッパーの子達は子供のころから確実に親の影響を受けているから上手いのだと思う。I'm a 55 Japanese who grew up listening to RUNDMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, etc., and I'm amazed by these girls. I think their parents probably listened to HIPHOP from the 90s to the 2000s, and the rappers are so good because they've been influenced by their parents since they were born.
Dude, Coco gave you a shout-out!
'Youngblood but I'm built like an OG'😂
She's a beast!
@@OGReacts-w2o FR and she WAS born with it. lol That can’t be taught.
I'm 47 and a old head of hip hop, these girls got the fire. 😮😮
Their manager/producer, Simon, spent a significant amount of time in Atlanta working on producing unique sounds with r&b flavor; you’ll hear it in their pronunciation.
All the girls sing and rap in Japanese, Korean, and English. While born in Japan, they train and produce out of South Korea. Two of the girls speak nearly flawless English. Part of their training incorporated English pronunciation classes, besides dance, rap, and vocals. Simon is a perfectionist, and the close-knit girls have taken on this responsibility as well. Wait until you see them move as a dance crew in MOVE videos & hear their amazing harmonies in FIRST TAKE WINTER WITHOUT YOU.
Welcome to X-Pop and the world of ALPHAZ! 🐺🐺🐺🔥🔥💪
Ok, i get it now!
"Never Have I Ever"
I'm 30.
I have never seen a group as talented as XG either.
Rap, Sing, Dance.
They can do it all
XG IS THE FUTURE!!!!!
XG are child prodigies. Super talented, all can rap, all can sing, and dancing is probably their biggest strength if you can believe it. Howling MV, and then I’d check out their side quests, with their rap line ‘XG Tapes #1,2,3,4 and then go to their dance series with ‘XG Move 1,2,3,4 and then vocal line ‘XG VOX 1,2,3,4,5,6
Not trippin OG, they're that good and their respect for the culture is palpable, love your reaction and respect for XG! Keep it up! You're dope! LOVE that you catch all the small details.
Thanks for letting me know! Was getting worried!
Let me just say, if you go down the rabbit hole, I'll be there for every hour of it.
TBH, watching your reactions feels like reliving my own discovery of them. Your emotions and observations are pretty much the same as what I went through and I can tell it's not just surface level fanboying.
Also, I live in Japan and have had my eyes on the music industry here for close to two decades, and XG is by far an absolute anomaly. I was asking my self "how is this even possible" the entire way through.
I'm glad someone can relate!
Maya (the one who said 'Told my haters, "Yo, more the merrier"') grew up in international school in Japan, her English is 100% pure.
Man, you're in for the ride of your life. They have a lot for you to admire
Yes they can dance also LOL
As a 51 year old black man who grew up on hip hop & R&B since the 80s these girls are continuing the legacy of dope music that started over here. I found out about them earlier this year and have been a fan since. Sing rap dance perform and more. They toured the US a few months ago and have a documentary out which showed how they were "formed" and what it took to get to this. FYI the "bald headed one" Cocona started in the group at 11 she's 19 now (Maya the other spitter you paused on before Cocona is the same age). They've been training to get in the group for a minute and their dedication to their craft shows. And yes inspired by mostly 90-00's hip hop and R&B.
💯
38 here, you wont be disappointed with XG. I believe their track Left Right wil become one your favorites. Including the choreo so I would suggest the MV and the dance practice (fixed version).
To me Left Right sounds very 90s RnB/Pop. I absolutely love it!
XG is a group that can rap like that and then also bing able to do a rnb ballad where all of them beautifully harmonize when they sing. Then you find out all the girls are also incredible dancers who have amazing stage presence and sound incredible live when they rap or sing.
you aint never lied. Haven't seen anything live but if they are half as good, they deserve everything they get.
They are the best. Period.
👍🏾
WELCOME TO THE RABBIT HOLE. Enjoy the ride. As a millennial, these girls just hit that nostalgia spot just right. Like you said it’s the swag, the cadence that seals it for me, ain’t NOONE doing it like this. Your reaction was my same exact reaction when I first found them. Then they dropped “HOWLING” and I couldn’t believe that they keep doing it.
Thae Rabbit hole seems real! I'm trying to avoid it!
you are doing yourself a disservice by avoiding it. Embrace it. Enjoy it. The Alphaz love react videos. They will continue to show you love. I would highly recommend “left right” if you are a big RnB fan.
And it is refreshing hearing young girls rap without needing to curse every bar or sing about their private parts and shaking their naked booty in a video! I’m no prude. Just happy something young girls can look up to. They have quality lyrics and not the lazy easy way out with nothing but obscenities and sex. A breath of fresh air! Love them. Sing, rap, dance, swag, class.
Best group of girls EVER 🔥🔥🔥 the little bald one is the youngest Cocona and the most iconic rapper !! She’s soooo special
"If they can dance, they are a PROBLEM." Yeah, they can definitely dance. But they are a good problem to have. You'll enjoy finding out more. I saw them in Chicago and they were fantastic live too.
XG built different 😉
Big Facts 💪🏿💯
These are my girls brother. Great reaction! These young ladies kill everything in sight when they do their thing. Within the fandom we say, "XG don't miss!"
Thanks
Nah XG is legit. Saw them in NY. Very 90s/00s R&B inspired
😂😂😂the swag drips out the screen. These girls are elite! Japanese girl grew trains in Korea, all singing English and rap English. Training for about 5 years. English is your third language.
3rd language? Geesh! You wouldn't even know!
You not tripping OG these girls were brought up in a lab studying all the great American rappers and they are fire 🔥🔥🔥 and they are super talented dancers I love XG ❤ Alphaz✌️on deck XG for life 🌏👸🧚♂️👽🐺👌👍✌️
That explain alot! Thanks
A lot of XG lyrics often refers to their lore theme of an alien wolf pack going out to conquer another world. Metaphorically, it is like them are from Japan and now living in South Korea and aiming for global success. They are about to perform at Coachella 2025! 😃
Also, they said it themselves that they grew up listening to the OG western artists. The youngest self-shaved bald rapper, Cocona, started rapping since 3rd grade after she started listening to Kehlani and TLC. 😃
Yes, they can dance dance and will do it live. It is a fact, many professional dancers/reactors admitted they want these girls to join their crew. 😂
To make matters worse for current generation of western artists in America, these ladies can also sing sing. They love R&B especially old school R&B. 😃
Check out their newest old school R&B inspired song In The Rain. There is no music video for this song, but they did upload the audio video and this song is in full English. 😃
Thanks for they info. I will check it out!
Cocona’s role model is Lauryn Hill
i discovered xg and woke up during the summer and it was LIFE CHANGING. your reaction was me for like 2 weeks straight with my mind absolutely blown. enjoy the journey down the rabbit hole, they’re so amazing.
I'm 51 too and xg brings back these Vibes wait until you see all their content
XG is the number 1 group in the world right now, no doubt about it, these girls rap like they're fucking black, that's why a lot of semi-professional rappers in America really like them, no group in KPOP can do what XG does, even XG is not in KPOP, FLOW and DELIVERY are world class, no group can rap like these girls, I can confirm that, they are not like any other group, they are disrespected in Korea because they are all Japanese and their dressing style is unique but doesn't fit the standards of KPOP IDOL so they are disrespected by KPOP fans, even so they still have their own path, their music thinking can destroy the entire KPOP industry right now, XG is on a very high level and no one can touch them
I think you might be right!
Watch their documentary. As I said to someone else once an art is released to the world it becomes open to interpretation and adaptation. So XG shouldn’t surprise us that they can rap,sing and dance what should surprise us is how polished they are but the documentary shows you that they did the work to get here. Determination and dedication!
"The little bald one is a beast!!!" LOL That Cocona. Before her is Harvey.
XG stirring the pot hip hop, R&B, POP they not Kpop but Xpop . Check out Howling 🔥🔥🐺
Will do!
"this little bald head one" 🤣🤣 love the reaction
7 Girl Group. All Japanese. XG stands for Xtraordinary Girls. They are calling their style X-Pop. ALX is the "Label" that is owned by Simon who is a former J-Pop / K-Pop star. They have been working for 5 years since they were all in their early teens. Speak fluent in Japanese, English and Korean. Sing, Rap, Dance. Age range is like 19-23. They are strongly influenced by 90s-Early 2000s Hip Hop, R&B, Pop. They ooze pure Swag.
They learned from the US scene from 30 years ago. Welcome to the ALPHAZ (which is the name of their fan base).
Watch "Left Right" to feel that 90s feel. Or pure homage track with "Nothing"
Thanks!
I'm 45..... XG also popped up on my Algo. Their creator is from Seattle and I also know some music came from an Atlanta based Producer. The girls are 🔥🔥🔥 and at the same time pay homage to whatever style they are putting out there....because they are very versatile. I am a DJ with a natural direction towards HipHop, R&B, & all types of House music. They hit on all levels. Try Left Right. Tapes #4 3A&3B ...Enjoy the journey!!!
Hi! I'm Japanese and I enjoy your reactions! They are a group of 7 Japanese girls, selected from 15,000 people at an audition in Japan. After that, they trained in Japan and Korea . English, dance, singing, etc. for a joint Japanese-Korean super project. Most of the girls are not native English speakers.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I don't think Simon gets enough credit... I've watched a lot of reactors and this is the first person to ask "who brought these girls together" ... Simon is genius and the girls love him, which always warms my heart. XG is 8 not 7.
who is the 8th?
@OGReacts-w2o Simon 😅
Ahh
Loved your reaction to this lol. You are not tripping, these girls are nice with it. I am the same age as you and got hooked to them after this song because if you just listened to it without looking at the video you would think like you said they were some East Coast rappers, but nicer with it without using curse words or being raunchy with it. Then learning that English is their third language is whats crazy as well. You need to now watch the choreography video for this.
I'm glad im not alone. I was almost embarrassed I was feeling them so much!
i'd love to see more reactions to XG! check out all the XG TAPES for more of their rapping. and honestly you can react to anything on their channel because they just don't miss!!!
That Xypher is up next!
@@OGReacts-w2o hope after reacting to XYPHER you react to their TAPE 4, and then react to XG's SHOW YOU CAN, i get goosebumps listening to them rap, they scare the hell out of me
Please react to Howling by XG next! You won’t regret it
You think so?
Yeah@@OGReacts-w2o
Nah, you ain't tripping. They got all the swag and some great lyrics. They actually really respect hip hop too.
Oh. And yes. They can dance. Like for real for real. 😂
i've followed XG for just over a year now and already been to 2 concerts. they're gonna blow up real soon as they deserve it. you're still early though. XG heading to Coachella in 2025 too
Yes...they can dance. They are the best. I can't wait for you to see them!!!!!!
They have an amazing documentary series of how they were created and put together. They are all hella talented from an early age and just getting better and better. Highly recommend watching that.
7:16 Cocona (the one that shaved her head) might have actually been born with this. She came into the program that put the group together already as a prodigy
Yep, her name literally means "Coco" = heart and "Na" which means sound !!!! 💚 🎶
And yea- she cut that Live!!!!!
OG, I’ve seen some comments of people kind of coming at you sideways cause you were questioning where their swag came from. You already nailed it where it came from, these girls STUDIED their inspirations. On the other hand, I don’t blame the people that left those comments because there are people hating on XG claiming cultural appropriation when it’s in fact cultural APPRECIATION. Keep doing ya thing and enjoy this rabbit hole.
I liked the video as soon as i heard “this little BALD ONE… is a beast!” 😂
I’m 43 and saw them in Houston a few months ago and they put on a great show. I love this group.
What’s great about XG is they touch every race and demographic. They have no limit. Their discography has zero skips. Each of their releases are a mood/vibe to whatever you’re feeling that day. Thanks for reacting and showing support for XG
And you are correct, never had I seen anything like this it's a gift from God.. I produced songs all my life 61yrs old ..it's a breath of fresh fukn Air.. watch all of there training videos, 5yrs of working on this..
OG go check out million cash by Maya
XG is the truth! I’m telling you! But they are Considered XPOP which is their own genre. However they consider themselves Hip Hop and R&B. Btw they are all Japanese. Raised in Japan, but live in Korea.
XPOP huh?
@@OGReacts-w2oit means Global Pop. Since they are trying to make it world wide, but mostly here in America
She's the one that was pretty much born with this.I don't care what anyone says
And she's the youngest
Oh, they can do it all.
Jealous of you cos this will be the best obsession OG. Wish I can go back to when I found them 2 months ago. You’ll eventually realize they’re a dance crew that can rap rap and sing sing.
FYI, their ages are 23 to 19 years old…( currently…)
The rapper who started the video, she is the group leader - Jurin ( 22 ) , and the youngest is the girl who shaved her head- Cocona (19)
American music has become so widespread that it is affecting street culture around the world. I'm not saying these girls did grow up on the streets but they definitely are aware of the culture so it isn't surprising to me that they can do this
I'm 54...and i love these girls, they have swag, vocals, fire flows. Thank you for your reaction 🐺
My pleasure
Some of this information may have already been shared because I initially did not go too deep into the comments, but the members of XG were chosen amongst a very vast number of other girls before they started training from 2017 - 2021 and then debuted with "Tippy Toes" in 2022! XG was definitely "created" by the GENIUS of JAKOPS ( Simon Junho Sakai )! That man had the exacty VISION of what XG was going to be he just needed to find the girls to make it happen and I will say he may 7 PERFECT choices !
Welcome to the alphas🐺🐺!! Gen X here too! They are spitting bars that take me back to the good days! Dive down the rabbit hole, everything they do 🔥🔥🔥 they’re trilingual-Japanese, Korean, and English. Check out the tapes for rap and the vox for vocals
These girls were born like this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 check out their documentary to see how they came up, they have all been talented and destined to be doing what they do. 🔥🔥🔥
You aint trippin'. I'm an old school Hip Hop/R&B head and these girls have been knocking out of the park for me since I discovered their first Cipher track. Every member is a triple threat and it shows they are fans of the golden era of Hip Hop and R&B. They worked hard for where they are at and they've been putting this group together for some time.
Let me put you on to "In the Rain" by XG it will take you down memory lane. Also recommend checking Babymonster "Like that" (it is all in English).
If you want to go down another rabbit hole check out Carpetman - Anyway, I love it
That's what they do and they do it well better than anybody right now
I’ve been following XG for about two years. They are game changers and super talented, each one of them could be a star in their own right. They are a special group, can’t wait for what they do next.
I'm aJUGGALO and XG are the future and awesome
Yeah Jurin's confidence and swag comes from her... PROFESSIONAL Snowboarding Background... yeah before joining an idol group she was a paid snowboarder. By 22 Jurin already completing side quests that most people aim for as life long goals. She's going to be on stage at Coachella this year. Coco... even in the documentary where you hear from her when she is JUST 12-13 she talks like she was born to be a star and we're all getting the privilege of her becoming a star and yet she didn't sound like a punk kid she sounded just so sure that you were like... "Yeah I believe you kid."
I love how he spends most of the video asking "whos their maker?!" and the "maker" is the very first person on screen xD
XG is on a league of its own. 🔥
You are right XG is not K-pop they are hiphop and r&b global Japanese performer group. And the reason why they rap like that is cuz they are under a strong influence of old school music they are bringing the past hiphop and r&b flavor with XG’s music to the music industry
I see it!
When I say I am SO in LOVE with XG ! You hit on some keys points that I was thinking when I first encountered XG ! I said the same thing...NO girl group USA or abroad was doing wht XG was doing in EVERYTHING ! Dancing , Rapping and Singing ! No girl was doing it !
With all the love in the world. American and or African American isn't a ethnicity it's a nationality with a very strong culture...which can absolutely be taught. What makes American great is that it's an amalgamation of many countries cultures
thanks for the education.
YESS THE BALD ONE IS A BEAST
I love her COCO, she is only 19 years old and she is literally a BEAST!!!
Love your reaction and XG deserves every bit of the positive awesomeness you are throwing their way. You’re correct, it’s not K Pop.
I appreciate that
You're not tripping. No sir.
XG IS THAT GROUP! They are a problem. A dance crew. A Hiphop supergroup. A vocal powerhouse all merged into one. Oh you're in for a treat, because XG Rabbit Hole has no limit. 😊❤
English is to pretty much all of them their third language, I would maybe except Maya and Harvey from that - Maya pretty much speaks English fluently (which shows in her raps, her speed and diction hits haaarrrd...) - Harvey is half Australian but spoke English more when she was younger, so she is not that fluent anymore. But they can all speak Japanese (which they mainly speak), Korean and English.
The CEO of their label XGALX is Simon, born in the US and was a KPOP Idol himself. He's the mastermind behind all of this. He and his team selected the girls, trained them for 5 years and is heavily involved in the concept of the band (intergalactic aliens/wolf pack).
He produces and writes a lot of XG's songs, some of them in collaboration with American producers/writers.
They gonna be at Coachella 2025, which will put a lot of eyes them - I hope they explode after that, because I have never seen a girl group this well versed (they can all dance, sing, rap and perform on a very high level) paired with great songwriting and a cool concept that leaves all the doors open for them creatively. They can do cutesy KPOP-like songs, but can also spit bars at their haters - and both feels naturally...
Great summary!!
@@averageatbest8146 Thanks!
I just discovered XG like 3 weeks ago and they consumed all of my free time in those past weeks (without any regrets).
Stumbled up on "Woke Up" by accident, was impressed, then saw "Howling" and that was it - hooked.
Went through their whole discography, all the Tapes, Vox, Move videos, then the documentary and up until just yesterday caught up to the latest XG Days and XTRA XG episodes.
So happy they booked Coachella - can't wait to see what the girls, Simon and his team will cook up for this. This team is special.
you made so many great points, i found myself nodding along with your thoughts.
its true , they werent born into the hip hop culture , and they underwent extreme training since very young , but i still think all of them have that "it" factor that you simply cannot learn. this confidence can't be faked.
XG are phenomenal 🔥🐺💯💜✌️🇮🇪
maya went to an international school in tokyo. shes always spoken english. the oldest member is 23 now and youngest is now 19. the other members are learning english 8:55 maya is the one rapping in the court room. she usually gets the lines that are faster and longer since shes fluent
ALPHAZ ON DECK 🐺👽🛸
First of... lmao @ "that lil bald one" her name is Cocona and shes all that since she was a tiny lil baby. My favorite from the rappers is Maya but this is a group where i can truly say every member is my favorite on something. They are all beyond amazing cant go wrong picking any of them as a favorite. Btw, Cocona has been rapping like this her whole life just about. In a documentary they have about this group, im pretty sure she said since she was 3 yrs old. Wait until you hear her sing and YES....THEY ALL DANCE AT AN ELITE LEVEL. Sometimes, i forget they sing and rap because they could be a dance group on its own without anything else. But they also sing and rap at an elite level as well.Thats why XG stands for Xtraordinary Girls!
Their fandom is Alphaz because they have a lore, which is that they are aliens with wolf DNA (and they each have a designated color and superpower). The girl with the red hair (first rapper and find me in tokyo bar) is the Leader of this space wolf pack and her name is Jurin. They are all Japanese, with another rapper named Harvey being half Australian and another member...a vocalist named Hinata is half korean.
Members are:
-Jurin (pack leader and rapper)
-Cocona (rapper and youngest in the group)
-Maya (Rapper and Vocalist)
-Harvey (Rapper/unique tone)
-Chisa (Vocalist, Sub Leader, Oldest member of the group)
-Juria (Vocalist and always has dark hair and bangs)
-Hinata (Vocalist, dancer, always has blonde or some sort of light/different colored hair)
🐺👽🛸
Thank you! Love the breakdown!
Hello friend, glad you reacted to our girls :) Let me provide some info for you and for your followers.
This is a 7-member(ages 18-22) Japanese global girl group ( 4 rappers and 3 vocalists but they all can do it all ). They operate in both Korea and Japan but they are not a K-pop group, they almost always sing in English. They can speak Japanese, Korean and English and English is their 3rd language. They mostly do Rap and R&B stuff but they are really versatile, you will see all kinds of songs from them.
These girls have bars actually. COWBOY REACTS has a 35-minute breakdown video on this song and has another 1-hour video of him breaking down GALZ XYPHER which is the rap song XG blew up :D Other reactors have breakdowns of their other rap songs, especially the TAPE's, in which they use the beats of "known" songs and sing their own lyrics. They pay homage to OG's and show respect all the time. They have tons of references etc.
They are basically a shape-shifting alien wolf pack from another galaxy and they have a lore. The eye thing was always prominent in XG music videos. You can see them keep changing and evolving etc. You'll see if you watch all their music videos.
"Shooting Star" tells the story of them wanting to shoot off into the Stars to achieve their dreams.
"Left Right" shows them travelling across the galaxies.
"HESONOO&X-GENE" is them awakening from hibernation before reaching Earth.
"GRL GVNG" is XG's arrival on Earth.
"TGIF" is their evolution commencing on the planet.
"New Dance" is them exploring their new environments
"Something Ain't Right" is them trying to blend in with humans but still being unable to contain their powers. etc. etc.
WOKE UP is kinda like them taking over or getting ready to take over. Their different songs/MV's represent different ERA's of their arrival to Earth ( not Earth per se but planets in general I assume ) and taking over. You can check the zoomed-in eye shots in these MV's and see the differences. They used those eye thingies in other songs like Shooting Star as well. I am not 100% sure what eye represents but my interpretation is that it shows their evolution or it basically shows they are aliens in a cool and visually pleasing way. I am sure they have a more detailed lore but we as the fans don't know much details yet.
They also have tons of references and easter eggs in the videos. For example, in the first Maya verse, it is like a court scene and Maya says "I'm the judge and jury" and she is addressing the "haters". There are people around in wolf-heads who are the witnesses ( which are the fans - their fandom name is Alphaz, WE are the witnesses ) and a guy is being judged with the upper half of his head missing. He represents the haters so they are no-brain, only talk. Also, you can see there is a building at the start and at the end and, a guy approaches it. He is the CEO of XG's label. Basically, he is XG's boss, but in the video, he is their commander. So while Maya taking the haters to the court, the other girls are coming in from the multiverse to attack the haters' """"head-quarters"""". You can see in the end it is in the shape of a head. It also blows up, so it means they take down the haters but it can also mean, after you finish watching the video, your minds are blown.
EXTRA : Cocona shaving her head can be interpreted in multiple ways. Saying F U to the beauty standards of the industry? Also, XG got some shade because of their outfits, hair styles, lyrics etc. ( Coco had braids for a lil while, so basically saying here, I cut all off, what now ? ) saying that they appropriate black culture ( they actually don't, they love the culture and they pay homage all the time. They don't pretend, they grew up with those songs, and their inspirations are the biggest old-school R&B, hip-hop, and rap artists mostly from the USA, they sing their songs, they use their beats, they shoutout and everything ) also, it appears she already did that when she was younger and wanted to do it again. The label didn't want her to until now since it fits the concept and MV so she did it in this MV. That can mean a lot of things but it's a bold move either way and it is fun, it is swaggy and it suits her personality.
She is one of the swaggiest , coolest people I have ever seen. She is so badass.
Example of Cocona and Maya rap at the age of 13 from their documentaries;

Thanks for the info! They have a lot of love iout here!
Greetings! It appears you found yourself tripping into the XG rabbit hole. Enjoy the fall, and welcome to the wolfpack!
Pretty much!
yes!!!!!!! XG is the best💯🔥🐺👽
XG is legit every song they have put out is good.
I love how genuine this reaction video is. As an XG fan, I was giggling and had a big smile on my face the entire time I watched your video. When we first discover XG, especially as hip-hop fans, we get this blown-away feeling and crazy goosebumps because of their rhythm, swag, and tones. Then we start to wonder, "How can they sing like this???" I could tell you went through exactly the same emotions while listening to Woke Up. Thanks for keeping it real-I hope your channel makes it big! :)
Glad you enjoyed!
The XG rabbit hole is deep and wide my friend. Buckle up!!!! ALPHAZ on Deck!!!!
I'm nervous
This reaction is so entertaining, thank you!
Your welcome
You're not trippin.-these girls are fucking amazing. More reactions please. Just know that they don't usually go this hard, but all their songs are good. Check out Left Right for a smooth 90's R&B girl group song, or Winter Without You (the first take version PLEASE) for some killer harmonies.
"who put these little asian girls together ?" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, ur funny unc i like you, hope you react to more XG in the future 🔥🔥🔥 and you are so real when you reacted to the bald headed cocona's bars for the first time she really has that effect
And that's what I call a proper reaction to XG 👊🔥👊
Thanks!
XG=X-Pop
Japanese Hip-Hop and R&B Global Girl Group👽👽👽👽👽👽👽💃🐺
Nah. You r not tripping. Their music is American hip hop and R&B. Their producer is born in Seattle and an American (half Korean and Japanese). He has been exposed to multicultural cultures. He was the first guy who was able to mix all three cultures. So what you are listening is hip hop and K pop choreography added to it. So it is new idea and they call it XPop and that make XG so XG and unique among all other group. That is why they capture new audiences like you or myself who were never into girls group or K pop before.
