XG (Xtraordinary Girls) is a 7 member Japanese global girl group aged currently 18-22 formed by XGALX. They do Hip Hop/R&B and Pop. XG is completely fluent in Korean and Japanese but they choose to sing/rap in English because they are a Global Girl Group. They want to reach as many people as possible. This is why they sing in English even though they could sing in Korean or Japanese. Fandom is called ALPHAZ because the leader of a pack of wolves is called the Alpha. They have shows set for South Korea, Japan, USA, China, Australia, Philippines, etc on their 1st World Tour (The First Howl). Simon Jakops is the XGALX CEO and XG Producer/Manager. Simon is a former Kpop idol in the group DMTN, I believe he was a Rapper/Vocalist in the group. Sienna Lalau the Leader of the dance crew THE LAB whom won (World Of Dance) is the one who does XG's choreography. She is 23 years old and Hawaiian (USA). Sienna Lalau has choreographed for BTS, Blackpink, Twice, Treasure, Jennifer Lopez, Ciara, and more.
Great video.... Love your reactions... ( watched most of them) The thing about "XG" is it pays homage to the old hip-hop in western society. Their CEO/manager was a K-Pop idol. Once you watch their documentary you will appreciate the work they put in. Please watch it... (Only time I'll compare them... Similar training that BM took...but boy....way intense!!) They put out various videos, as stated paying homage to the old hip-hop/R&B... The Rap ones are ....mixed tapes.(rap line).. The R&B songs are... Vox videos(vocal line). Most viewers started with the he Heavy Rap Cypher. (Showcase all four girls talents). The vocal line is no joke either!!! Their covers are ..WOW. impressive!! Glad you started to dive into XG. Good luck ...I'm sure you will be an Alpha very soon. Take care from 🇨🇦🤪👍
Xpop is a genre created by Simon CEO of XGALX for XG, Simon “Jakops” Park, is the creative mind behind the entire thing, you will see Jakops mentioned in songs and in the credits, Jakops means JA Japan, KO Korea, PS produced by Simon, a former Kpop star himself he is half Japanese half Korean and was born in the USA, they created the genre because it doesn’t fit into any other in their official song they sing in English, trained in the Kpop style of training and are Japanese, also they are fluent in 3 languages and use them in their Tapes/Vox videos, there is tons more but you will get more info when you watch the Xtra Xtra documentary
XG sounds the exact live as they do in their music videos. Even Michael Jackson would be amazed with them doing all that dancing and heaving that amazing breath control that all seven members have. They literally have no weaknesses as a group already and they're still just getting better and better
Okay bro the song list is correct forsure but if u want to see more of there individual talent watch there “TAPES” 1-4 broken up into multiple videos I believe that they have a playlist on XGs channel as well as the “VOX”… “TAPES” are for the rappers and “VOX” is for the singers
If you REALLY want to hear them sing, check out Winter Without You - the First Take version. The official MV is boring and it's just them standing around singing, and the vocals sound way better in the live in the studio version. Plus they look extremely cute in that performance. XG stands for (E)xtaordinary Girls. XGALX is their company/label. Xpop is a term they made up so don't feel bad about not knowing it. They want to differentiate themselves from Kpop/Jpop. Fans will roast you for calling them Kpop, but honestly to me they feel like an evolutionary branch of Kpop, but whatever. Plus it's a bit of branding - XG, Xpop, get it? The documentary is super long, in many parts. I still haven't been through it because I hate watching girls cry. Maybe save it for later when you're sure you like them. Hesanoo and X-Gene is the first 2 songs on their e.p. It's not a title track so don't judge it next to their singles. It's extremely artsy with interpretive dance representing their alien birth, then turns into some sick rapping and dancing. I hated it at first but now I love it now that I understand it. Girl GVNG (gang with "cool" spelling) video is epic but doesn't feature the full song, though the part that is cut isn't that essential, but it would have been nice to have the whole song. I dunno maybe they ran out of budget for the effects and cgi? IF you really get into them, XG is one of only a few K/J/Xpop groups where it really is worth it to check out their dance practice videos. They really are good dancers.
As best as I can tell the reason XG calls it XPOP is because it is not KPOP, JPOP, or even American POP/Hip Hop. JPOP would be in mostly Japanese, KPOP would be mostly in Korean, and it's not American Pop either even though they do it in English. Because they also Dance, add in Korean and Japanese in their other videos and do all the things that Japanese/Korean idols do. Show You Can is a pretty good example of this. They mix 3 languages a lot even when they are talking you will hear 3 different languages.
imo I've always figured that it could be taken to mean in 3 ways, all equally valid and applicable... 1: X as in Xtraordinary (the simplest and most obvious one)... 2: meaning "cross", as XG is very much a crossing, a fusion of K, J, and western styles and influences... or 3: X as in meaning "not" like marking something off a list, since while XG is a global fusion, it stands apart from all the rest and in their own lane 😂 idk if Simon put as much thought into it as that, but they seem right to me
Hi mate, glad you reacted to our girls :) I know it is late but let me share my post for you here. 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 the throughline 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 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; ruclips.net/user/shorts177boFdwO6c
