She SNAPPED! Ngl I’ve listened to this song on repeat when I go on my bike ride for a few days now’s. And I start the song back over after her verse a lot lol
The hardest thing about "Woke Up" is that XG didn't cuss once and they made that song hard as f@@k! XG definitely made a boss statement with this banger! Wolf 🐺
Cocona is the youngest or the baby of the group, which in Korean is called the “maknae”, but her personality IRL is like an old soul, thus she’s more like an “unnie” or older sister.
@knoxHill Unnie means “like older sister” in Korean. It’s used as a sign of respect to someone older than you, you have a close relationship with. Also, means older sister as in family as well
Korean takes it very serious with age, even if you're a hour or a day older you are getting called "unnie". That's not only in school or entertainment but also in job very important. You're called rude if you don't stick up to the norms PS: Have you ever heard about exaggeration? Yes, I meant it sarcastically.
@@Moonchild0 That's not true, it's about what year you were born in. If you were born in the same year, you dont use an honorific. Though, I'm not sure how that will be changed with future generations now that SK has adopted the international age system

that instrument of backgrounds is actually Chinese traditional instrument ERHU and that’s why XG is dope. They really shows off some Asian culture with their girl power 🎉
He already knows it, he already heard the galz xipher, he just didn't give the group enough credit and he didn't check anything that came out afterwards until today.
Woke up, Undefeated, and Something Ain't Right all should've gone viral for the summer. Especially the last song, I feel bad for anyone who hasn't experienced XG yet
Maya is becoming a problem, wolf mother can go hard without breaking a sweat. Been waiting for this reaction. You need to do more XG please just for the breakdowns. The dances were actually performed by the 7 girls in the group in case you didn't realize. This the only group that don't need backup dancers because they are the dancers. They even spit and sing while doing it also. You need to stack react to the tape #4 sets to compliment your reaction to the tape #2 you did last year.
Maya and Cocona are a true threat like they're barely even adults (in south Korea they're still minors too) and are already out rapping like 90% of Kpop. Give them a few years and they're gonna be on par with true rappers like the BTS rap line, RapRacha or Hongjoong and Mingi. Jurin is definitely up there too, her charisma is insane.
Maya is alha Cocona BETA Is there a problem? They protect the others. PERIOD! THIS SHIT IS NON FOR US SAKE. THEY DID DAT JUST NOW Respect for them! Cocona shave her head. Cause she wanned to that for a long time. Maya protect her wolfs for haters. This is true Greetings from Belgium Anyway we can't buy no thing from them. So pleas.
5:54 as someone who bias is Maya. I completely agree!! The way she delivers her raps are so clean and with aggressiveness ❤🔥love it!! Her Tape 'Million Cash' is one of my top favorite raps! Give it a listen🙌 11:17 yes you got it right 👌Thank you so much for reacting to XG!! They are just another level! They aint playing!🤩

@@RAVajayEN As far as technicalities go, I think she's the best rapper in the group. She's 19 and the second youngest, she started training to be a part of XG as a preteen

@doraemon8975 I guess that's one way to look at it. Regardless of the reason, I wouldn't have heard it if it wasn't on this channel. This is promotional even if you want to be negative about it.
Damnn this break down of XG is incredible and makes the video even more hype! The money being thrown at these girls for production, special effects, choreography, etc is incredible. I will rock with these girls for life! LFG XG
no lie i was JUST reacting to woke up and said to myself "i need knox to jump on this REAL QUICK" your insane level of insight is just so amazing, i love your content and analysis so much!! :)
I was beaten. Among the group's artists, XG stands out for being able to express such a strong impact on their music videos. I felt that this kind of strong approach, which is possible (or rather, rare) in Europe and America, was also emerging within Asia, and even in Asia, Japanese children did not expect it, but from an outlook from the outside , has a certain meaning. Do you have an image than the Japanese would do better? As for cocona, she herself suggested shaving her hair, and her parents approved, since she wanted it from a young age. In addition to this she said: since the haters hate my hair so much, I will give you a different hairstyle to have something to say, because her talent was not in her hair, kkkkkkkk, loved, at first the others were against, but she convinced them that she wanted to do that for her and the group. Reishape my alienigen wolves. Queens. Amazing how they showed their skills convincingly so far, it has been shot, fucking and bomb. Pure nitoglycerin. Iconic and empowered queens that do not lower their heads to anyone. I am looking forward to the future of XG. Thank you for this wonderful reaction.💣💣💥👏👏👏
I seriously need a full rap album from XG. This analysis was super cool. They're makin waves and I have a feeling of an oncoming tsunami in the music industry and I'm soo here for it 🔥🐺
What I like about XG is they can all sing, rap, and dance. Their stage presence too. well-rounded group.I like XG because they can all sing, rap, and dance. Their stage presence is also impressive. They are a well-rounded group. I love them.
So this song has been stuck on my head latetly, I just recently discovered them, they def have talent and I see a lot of lyric nods-winks of other great rappers-singers and pop culture, so that´s a nice touch... looking forward for more of them.
Thanks for the reaction Knox!!! This pumped me up as I go to Yokohama to see them perform today!!! Nothing like getting the stamp of approval from a trusted source, Knox Hill!!
XG letting people know that wake up and see what we can do . dance rap and vocals .to many people fell asleep on XG so that's why they made this rap song woke up.xg is different from any other girl groups period
I'm happy to have stumbled upon XG a while ago. This is so damn technically official in every single way possible. One of those videos you wish was longer.
11:07 unnie means oldest/big sister in korean they are all japanese only speaks in english in there songs but they kind of still are in the kpop industry and in kpop you always hear about ''ho her she is the unnie (odest ) or the maknae'' which is her, cocona, she is the maknae (youngest ine the group)
Been waiting for you to react on this. Love how you just break down this song even with Juria’s part you have something to say when nobody else could. More more more with XG please
The instructment is Chinese 二胡called ErHu. Xg is a very great girl group. Their music incorporate many Asian elements. I hope more people know about XG.
I’m glad you reacted to them! They are my favorite girl group of all time now. Their level of talent and fierceness is unmatched! Nobody is doing it like them!
This was the first song of theirs I’ve heard and whoa! XG definitely has a BRIGHT FUTURE in front of them, especially if they stay together as a group! Edit: first time I heard this I thought it was just one artist changing up her voice like K Dot does, watched the video for the second listen and was shocked that it was so many MCs flowing as ONE! They have a synergy which is amazing! I won’t go so far as to make Wu-Tang Clan comparisons yet because I have to hear more but I’d be lying if I said they don’t remind me of the Wu!
So happy to see you do another reaction to XG, I’ve been hoping you’d jump on the XG train since the other two reactions you did to them. I knew you’d love this.
New sub here because your style rocks and you know your shit. Big time XG fan here. I've been around 51 years and I've seen very few if any, groups who have what these ladies have.
You're the best dude.I know you're not all pros at this but you make everyone else look amateurish at best, That's why I have more fun listening to you than anyone else
The “unnie” line goes over everyone’s head I feel and it’s one of the best lines. I love that you stopped and tried to break that down. Younger girls and boys will call older girls or boys or older sisters “unnie” it’s a way to respectfully address a female who is older than you but not an elder.
Hi I'm just passing by. Out of all the reaction videos, your reaction got the best audio clip from their MV because I use quite proper headset and I can tell, and plus your deciphering their lines are bang on.
So glad you reacted to this masterpiece! And Unnie is a term girls use to refer to other girls who are older than them, it is only used in informal situations or to family.
Knox!! Was waiting for your reaction to this unreal video. Your breakdowns and expert thoughts on video, lyrics, flows…etc is really appreciated! FYIW: XG’s fandom is called “ALPHAZ”- alpha wolves- leaders of the pack (as opposed to omegas). This “leader of the pack wolf” concept - as well as “we’re aliens from another planet” are big parts of their story.
Ive been waiting for your reaction. ❤thanks for noticing the instrument at the intro. 🤝 love ur reaction as always. the detail for the lyric. thank u 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am 80s baby (a teen in that era) I can't overstate how refreshing it is to have rap you can seek your teeth into (pun intended; not intended) An OGs, Ajumma from that era, is loving the lyricism, entendre's and dopeness from XG. Yea they reppin.
Whoever is producing this group and is responsible for pulling together the production team with these young ladies hit a damn home run. These girls' talents were just amplified in this production. This is just a crazy collision of talent.
Knox, love the break down, XG is changing how the " Idol world", will be in the future They are also involved in the writing process . These Girls are amazing ❤❤❤
Avex, Japanese biggest music rabel started this X-gal project, has appointed JKOP to the head producer. As J-pop has been focused on internal market for a long time and Avex wished to changed this situation. Avex put huge budget on XG to create global girls group . Initial training was held in Japan at the beginning for building up their basic skills like dancing, rapping and singing. Afterwards, they choose Korea as a market for promotion. That’s why some people misunderstand that XG is K-pop but they clearly define and manifest themselves as X-pop. They are from Japan but not ordinary J-pop nor K-pop but x-pop which keeps learning from good from other music genre and keep evolving. No categories of countries or boundary for XG!!!
Knox I cant believe you let this scheme pass you by, the part when you said its all trippy and with the eyes popping out? Its related to the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. Superstition , super vision. That whole part was about Everything Everywhere All At Once. At 8:09 its about the movie. I thought it was awesome. Cause her verse starts out about her dropping pins and addy, She will be there to F things up and then she drop the Everything Everywhere All At Once cause in the movie, she could be everywhere at the same time. The Eye also plays a part in the movie too.
XG is the flyest baddest crew out there in the game today. The amount of talent these 7 young women have is insane. They can do it all SSS Tier whether it’s HipHop/Rap/R&B/Pop they can do it all. This track 1000% needs to be on rotation across the entire nation. XG never misses. For those of you who don’t know XG you need to check out their huge global hits “Left Right” “Shooting Star” “GRL GVNG” and their legendary viral cypher “XG TAPE #2 GALZ XYPHER” just to get a taste.

Cocona is the youngest or the baby of the group, which in Korean is called the “maknae”, but her personality IRL is like an old soul, thus she’s more like an “unnie” or older sister.
The term "Maknae" does not fit, because this group is not Kpop, it is a global group and it is Japanese, nothing to do with Korea
They are under korean company tho, so it does not matter....? @@mariafernandariosballester8395

Let's be honest.
Everyone watching didn't expect how fire this actually was.
gets better on every new listen too
straight facts
Same as San and Kun on Japanese .
As someone who knows xg no not really
Been familiar with XG for a little while so in my case you are half-correct. I know how talented they are, but this is next level for them.
@knoxHill Unnie means “like older sister” in Korean. It’s used as a sign of respect to someone older than you, you have a close relationship with. Also, means older sister as in family as well
And one should mention here that Coco is the youngest one ...
I think it's also specifically from a girl to a girl ....boy is noona . Shes really saying like she's young but she's respected

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! THANK YOU, KNOX!!! Your reactions are always the best!
The rap is so poetic. Insane amount of references. And everything everywhere all at once - shouts out to the Oscars winner
Love the way you break down the videos/ raps and critique them.
What a great reaction. I just found this and wasn't expecting the analysis at all, great stuff 👌
XGは元々日本の事務所のグループです。そこから韓国のプロデューサーに任せています。拠点は韓国ですが、全員日本人です！
Knox,thanks for your reaction!!!BTW,That instrument is Chinese traditional instrument Erhu.
Explanation made me understand & appreciate the song more. Thanks!
I am 80s baby (a teen in that era) I can't overstate how refreshing it is to have rap you can seek your teeth into (pun intended; not intended) An OGs, Ajumma from that era, is loving the lyricism, entendre's and dopeness from XG. Yea they reppin.
I was waiting for this from you!!! Yess
Whoever is producing this group and is responsible for pulling together the production team with these young ladies hit a damn home run. These girls' talents were just amplified in this production. This is just a crazy collision of talent.
I started liking maya because of her rap bruh... her voice sissh
Knox, love the break down, XG is changing how the " Idol world", will be in the future
They are also involved in the writing process . These Girls are amazing ❤❤❤
Avex, Japanese biggest music rabel started this X-gal project, has appointed JKOP to the head producer. As J-pop has been focused on internal market for a long time and Avex wished to changed this situation. Avex put huge budget on XG to create global girls group . Initial training was held in Japan at the beginning for building up their basic skills like dancing, rapping and singing. Afterwards, they choose Korea as a market for promotion. That’s why some people misunderstand that XG is K-pop but they clearly define and manifest themselves as X-pop. They are from Japan but not ordinary J-pop nor K-pop but x-pop which keeps learning from good from other music genre and keep evolving. No categories of countries or boundary for XG!!!
oh i deff have to check u out as soon as i learn about XG, cuz u are the best reactor when it comes to rap music
'Unnie' is a korean word of older sister also pronounced as 'Oni' like in japanese folklore means giant demonic creature.
Knox I cant believe you let this scheme pass you by, the part when you said its all trippy and with the eyes popping out? Its related to the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. Superstition , super vision. That whole part was about Everything Everywhere All At Once. At 8:09 its about the movie. I thought it was awesome. Cause her verse starts out about her dropping pins and addy, She will be there to F things up and then she drop the Everything Everywhere All At Once cause in the movie, she could be everywhere at the same time. The Eye also plays a part in the movie too.
XG is the flyest baddest crew out there in the game today. The amount of talent these 7 young women have is insane. They can do it all SSS Tier whether it’s HipHop/Rap/R&B/Pop they can do it all. This track 1000% needs to be on rotation across the entire nation. XG never misses.
For those of you who don’t know XG you need to check out their huge global hits “Left Right” “Shooting Star” “GRL GVNG” and their legendary viral cypher “XG TAPE #2 GALZ XYPHER” just to get a taste.
Happy to see comments praising Maya. So glad she's getting her flowers now!
Finally we have you with more XG!! Thanks and looking forward for more reactions!
