And Now puppet show i am ot7 though but this era of xg have me inclined towards Maya😻. Like shes just killing it. Her rap,flow charisma is top notch ps: i jus watched studio choom performance of puppet show and damn her stage presence was so lit🔥. Slay Maya Slay XG ❤
@@kira_legranthey said here, in general Cocona is probably a better rapper, but the verse they gave to Maya here was better than the verse they gave Cocona
XG has some of if not the best female rappers in this new era of girl groups coming out. What separates them from typical kpop rappers is XG is heavily influenced and show great amount of appreciation to actual old school rap and culture, they actually spit bars and bring attention to detail with flow, swag, and knowledge. XG are different typa idols
@@Ashley-sl5qp when did I say anything about writing lyrics in my comment ? But since u brought it up , I didn’t realize you knew more then me - plz enlighten me how you know this , where did u hear this from , did their team tell you? I’d love to know since you’re claiming such. I’ll wait
@@Ashley-sl5qpWell Mrsushi mentioned nothing about writing songs but since you've brought that up, just for you to know, Maya and Cocona co-wrote "Show you can" for street woman fighter 2 and they're only 18 years old (cocona still 17 will turn 18 in december) 😊
To clarify: XG is a Japanese group. Members are all Japanese raised in Japan, trained in Japan and under a Japanese label. They don’t call themselves J-pop but that’s a matter of identification… such as some pop stars say they are not “pop” but they are “indie”. Their producer is Zainichi Korean. Zainichi Koreans are Korean people (from both north and south) who immigrated to Japan during Japanese occupation of Korea. This makes up the biggest minority group in Japan and it is not rare at all. Just because the producer is ethnically Korean descent doesn’t make them K-pop. Kanye West isn’t making African music. Some people mistakenly claim that they went thought a “Korean style training” but the system of recruiting teens and train them under agency actually started by Japanese entertainment companies like Johnny’s and inspired Korean companies like SM so it’s the other way. Dance-focused training is often the reason people think they did k-pop style training but there already were groups like Exile and E-Girls in J-pop that were hip hop-centered, which is obvious why dance is so important. I’m obviously a kpop fan so I’m not denying their influence but it’s also kind of weird to center everything around kpop. Not everything is about kpop. And I think especially Japanese stuff tend to get mixed up. Like wolf cut which started in Japan in 90s, many western magazines credit kpop for its name. (Harvey and Hinata were born and raised in Japan and only holds Japanese citizenship as well, though they are White Australian and Korean descent respectively)
I really appreciate your writing. You defo have knowledge and did some research. Please keep supporting me with your expertise I will put you on top! ❤
True.. Finally someone speak up about this! Wolf cut, hime cut, etc Harajuku style.. Japanese fashion style is on another level. What makes XG big was because they use global market, while the Japanese music industry is not much marketed out. So people only know music from anime, even though there are many Japanese musicians that can be reckoned with, such as X-Japan (visual kei), AKB48, and many amazing Japanese rappers too, they are also famous for their many dancers, one of them is a choreographer of Taemin.
Actually their label XGALX is korean label of AVEX and their training system is based on korean idol training system. In japanese wikipedia, their genres are categorized into ‘hiphop, R&B, k-pop’. And it is literally introduced as ‘the girls band with 7 members based on korea’. They didn't even debut in Japan, they debuted in Korea and appeared on Korean music shows to promote them. Their producers constantly refer to 'K-pop' to emphasize their global reach. This certainly shows that they were strongly influenced by K-pop. Personally, in order to distinguish whether or not it is a ‘kpop’, I think we need to distinguish whether they follow the traditional system of the K-pop scene. I think their target audience is K-pop fans because they are idols who have gone through the K-pop training system, debuted in Korea, and are promoting in Korea. Since their secondary positioning goal is the American pop genre, XG themselves say, 'We're not a K-pop band or a J-pop band.’ In this regard, in Korea, XG cannot avoid criticism that it does not respect K-pop while using the K-pop system, but I believe that XG is strongly influenced by K-pop then pioneering new music tends to widen and diversify the genre of K-pop. Just like the alternative rock/pop genres. I hope to hear more song like theirs!
Japan's trainee system, especially jonnys trainee system you mentioned, is different from the Korean idol's system. Japanese trainees are the concept of interns, and Korean trainees are similar to the blueprint. For reference, XG has been practicing in Korea for an average of about five years, and all members speak Korean. Not everything is related to K-pop, but they are clearly in the K-pop system.
Yes, I totally agree. The tone of Harvey sometimes compels me to hit the skip button (But sometimes I don't! cuz the girls singing together are out of this world)! Besides that Harvey has the best fashion besides Jurin, and she is also the tallest member (#tallergirls).
_Jurin crying in the corner rn_ like "it's ok I'm the leader...😅 Rap Goddess" 😌💅 To me their THE Quartet of flow fr, they only know how to spit bars periodt. 👑🔥😎

Such an underrated group!! 😭

maya devoured, her verse always gets stuck in my head
Maya ate this 🥶
Maya's hard bruh 🤘
harvey has always been my bias bc of how pretty and talented she is ! 😍💗
She is also the most unique looking one because she's the only mixed race member.
@@Renee-cv2mn yessss 😍
After reading all the comments, just gonna leave it here XG is not kpop nor jpop, their a global girl group and they call their genre Xpop ☺️
I mean xpop is a just a cheesy gimmick. They're following the K-pop formula but owns it destroying the competition
For me I’m just gonna call it a Pop Group..since their styles and genre are infused in different countries
IMO, when it comes to K-pop, yes they are a part of them. It goes same R&B, hip-hop whatever genre they perform.
COZ THEY ATE ALL🔥💯
They’re**
@@12345678abracadabraI mean kpop also follow jpop formula... So why not take and give.
I really like Harvey's tone 😍😭
I am literally obsessed with Maya's part that part do something in my brain idk what it does but that feels good
I REALLY LOVE HARVEYS VOICE, SO UNIQUEEE❤️

MAYA ATE HER PART and we all know
maya is fire
My fav rapper from Xg is definitely Maya 💖💖
why no one is taking about how good it sounds all the rap together🤧🤧
XG IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I prefer Jurin over Harvey just for the tone, but all 4 of the rappers are amazing
Same. I remember the Xypherz they did. Jurin sounds better than Harvey but the difference isn't significant enough I think.
Yes, I totally agree. The tone of Harvey sometimes compels me to hit the skip button (But sometimes I don't! cuz the girls singing together are out of this world)! Besides that Harvey has the best fashion besides Jurin, and she is also the tallest member (#tallergirls).
Both Harvey and Jurin have a similar tone, imo
Jurin Maya and Cocona for me
i love love LOVE mayas rap tone, like idek how to explain it, but it’s just so damn good.
Maya and Cocona's rap part gives me goosebumps they're so good🤭💅
Maya is too underated
Maya voice is just 😮
Jurin, Maya, Cocona and Harvey….LOVE THEM GIRLS😍
They bring different flavors of tone which made the whole song soooooo good❤
And jurin 🥺
XG❤
MAYA IS ON FIRE
XG ATE🔥🔥🔥
The Maya-Harvey "Two Twins" cover is so good!
Love how this era is giving Maya her spotlight my bias from the start
Omg cocona ❤❤❤❤
XG is the BEST GG right now.. their music/sound are sooooo good. 🎉
MAYA entregou pra caralho no rap dessa música.
I really love Harvey 💞🥺

Ughhh xg rap line is soooo good
DESPERATELY WAITING FOR THEIR ALBUM COMING ON THE 27TH SEPTEMBER 😭🤌🏾🔥
They are really amazing rappers!
ok but why did harvey and maya's part mixed so perfectly
I’ve been listening to hip hop/rap for 25+ years and these girls can rap their ass off. especially cocona and Harvey. Of course they’re not “street” or whatever but there are many different types/genres of hip hop. and theyre great at their particular style. They have undeniable talent
The rap definitely makes the song better.
i think this is my sign to stan xg
Nah Jurin got that fire flame slow. +Maya and Cocona fa me
This is so cute of an idea
True!! Though they aren’t Kpop they be making the industry SHAKE
Jurin>>>>
I listened to TGIF about 2 weeks ago, that was the 1st time I ever heard of XG.
I gotta say, I absolutely fell in love with their discography !!!
And sorry but Maya is my top fav rapper 😌💫💝
I think they're my favorite rappers too, for Maya, it worked because she's my bias along with Chisa.
the best rap lineup nowadays
Jurin enters the chat
I wish they can do a future album including a song in Japanese and Korean or a couple of them
the transition is amazing
Thanks!
There's not many comment pointing out my audio cuts, but when someone sees them and love them, I become so happy
I keep forwarding the MV to Cocona’s rap! That slight grow mixed with the rap is so addictive!
como me vas a poner a maya y a cocona tan seguidas, me va a dar un ataque al cora
I miss you XG❤❤

They are so good
Their rap really goes to my heart💖💖💖💖
