Coco-Tani is in reference to Shohei Otani, A Japanese Baseball player whos actually the best. 'Sure you can'/'Show you can' = Shoryuken reference, the special attack used by Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter game
The blatant disrespect from knetz is palpable that u just cant help but root for XG. Americans in general love a good narrative of an underdog going through hardships and making it out despite gate keepers. Which in my honest opinion contributes to XG’s popularity here in the US and also u have to be honest and admit that they only release bangers! Thank you for being brave and mentioning what needs to be said on the disrespect these girls get just because of their nationality.
If XG is hated just because of their nationality it means knetz are really very fuck*n racist, even though there are many kpop groups that have members of various nationalities, and the fact that many kpop groups also debuted in Japan and made money there since 2nd generation but the Japanese never criticized them. Korean society, especially the younger generation, is experiencing a serious racist problem and it's very concerning.
There are a lot of anti-K-Pop groups who are all Japanese and don't sing in Korean. I think there are a lot of people who want to get in the way of becoming famous. However, the producer Simon made them prepare for such things and trained them for many years, so their mentality is strong💕
@@Ace-wx5th " all-Japanese group, and we're not singing in Korean, so we should go back to Japan without doing activities in Korea." There are many such comments. (Sorry if the automatic translation didn't work 😅)
No girl group can touch XG's rapline. Period. XG top to bottom is just in another league they have no weak link. Elite dance crew, rapline, vocals and unmatched swag.
XG IS THE CHEAT CODE. XG is basically a dance crew, a Hiphop supergroup, a vocal powerhouse all merged into ONE. Their swag and commanding stage presence is just mind blowing. Thanks for the mad love for XG.
Haven't watched the video yet but these are some of the bars: Fear nobody but God, that's the essentials' = Fear of God Essentials reference, the californian clothing brand 'Coco-tani' = Ohtani reference, the japanese baseball player who plays for LA Angels 'And y'all ain't seen a group like us as if our name was John tho' = triple entendre (John tho, John Doe, John Cena). The John Cena one being in the 'and y'all ain't seen a' part. If you listen close enough it actually sounds like Maya is saying 'John Cena'. Also, they're playing around the John Cena slogan 'You can't see me'. 'Sure you can'/'Show you can' = Shoryuken reference, the special attack used by Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter game
I completely missed the John Cena bar until somebody pointed it out in the comments on a different reaction video. Every other line has a double or triple wordplay in it, it's absolutely wild.
It's plain as day how XG's rapline is superior, but I continue to be amazed at their world-class rap writers just as much. The sheer levels of creative wordplay are insane and every single track has multiple iconic bars in it, without fail. I'm super curious which parts Maya and Cocona themselves wrote in this, too, this is just the beginning of their career as songwriters. It's only gonna get even better from here.
Agree 100% and happy that Maya and Cocona are officially credited for the first time. It's only the beginning for them and they have amazing people to learn from. Their rap writers are off the charts!
talking about the minute 4:10--4:20 in fact there was, last year I don't know the exact name of the event, but it was Korean culture where the group was invited for a presentation, it had already been announced to the media and suddenly the k-haters jumped with the usual nonsense, that the group was not Korean, that they did not sing in Korean and that they did not have the right to participate and thanks to this the group did not appear at said event, on another occasion during their first performances in Korean shows, the K-haters usurped the spaces of the true fans, only for the girls not to receive any token of affection during the event, that's why from then on every fan who requested a space within the the audience has to present their fan id, fortunately Simon and his team also took care of cultivating self-esteem and forging a strong mind in each of the girls so as not to be so affected by such situations. And now I realize that this part makes total sense "there should not be objection to the show that was scrapped off, it is better not to try anymore, we are gonna fight back"
@@beepbopop_ the truth is quite unpleasant the xenophobia of some Koreans, because it is a fact that there are many K-alphaz representing us in music shows
This song is used and made for the second season of Street Woman Fighter. A Korean dance show with some of the best street dancers and choreographers Korea has to offer. This is one of the songs given to a crew to choreograph to. The crew that got this song was "Tsubakill", a japanese dance crew. The main producer of this song is Czaer and is the main producer of the street woman/men fighter series. He is extremely talented and makes insane beats. I suggest going through some of the SWF and SMF soundtrack because the songs they have are honestly ridiculously good. Czaer for example is also one of the main producers for the song "Heyday" by 3racha. This was also a song given to a crew (Mbitious) during Street Man Fighter. All of Czaer's songs during this series have insane features with some of the best Korean rappers. The sudden beat breakdown in the middle of the song is probably made for a dance break. Some of the artists Czaer has produced for: XG Stray kids Itzy Chungha Rain Mark&Taeyong(nct) Treasure Changmo Kid milli Hyolyn Bewhy Jay park
He also already knows that this is part of the "Street Woman Fighter" show, a name that I directly believe, it is inspired by the arcade game, he mentioned it during the video
Some koreans dont accept XG, BUT when they become a WORLD PHENOM it will back peddle and start claiming XG as KPOP. XG dont care what they are. they just want to perform for the world.
The line "They gassed up but they ain't premium unleaded" means their critics, no matter what they do - they ain't gonna match them coz they (critics) don't have what it takes.
Coco-tani, players, plate, strike-out: reference to baseball and Shohei Ohtani being the greatest! Triple Entendre’s Combo Finish! Sure you can, Show you can, Shoyuken! Roof off turn it into confetti meaning they win bro! - end of music show confetti winner blasts or like AGT golden buzzer Veni vedi vici - latin for “I came, I saw, I conquered” so this track technically Quadra-lingual! Seen a group like us … Jon though - “you can’t see me” John Cena saying, also Jon Doe is a nobody victim so double Lyrics not wrong - just not setup for double/triple entendres.
10:44 NEVER CENA GROUP LIKE US AS IF OUR NAME WAS JOHN THOUGH. JOHN CENA THE WRESTLER. MAYA also referenced JOHN CENA at the end of the song TWO TENS with the can't see me hand gesture.
5:28 two MC'S I know say they are a Martian LIL WAYNE and EMINEM. COCONA AND MAYA are from XGALX XGALAXY ALPHAZ who are from outer space. This theme is a constant throughout XG'S catalog.
With success comes hate, and all the hate mainly comes from kpop fans who feel threatened that XG is taking the throne from their idol groups (even tho XG doesn’t label themselves as kpop). It’s obvious that there’d be no hate if XG flopped as a group. The haters know that XG is talented in literally every category and hence why their hate is targeted towards the fact they’re not Korean.
u over analyzed on the premium unleaded lol. they really just meant ppl are gassing up but they are not gassing with the top quality gas and just gassing regular gas
You beat me to it. I’d only add that although leaded gasoline has been banned for probably 30+ years here in the states, the pumps still say unleaded. Unleaded is the default though. It distinguishes itself from diesel rather than a leaded option. Premium refers to the higher than regular octane.
gassed up and ready to go, but their using cheap gas. Premium Unleaded is more processed without lead, higher Octane (in California. usually 91 Octane, versus 87 regular and 89 mid level) and higher priced. It is like Chisa singing "VVS has nothing on me" in TGIF. High quality diamonds (Very Very Small Inclusion, so closer to perfect) can't shine as bright as Chisa.
@@jonathanwatson5818 Yes "Vini, Vidi, Vici", literally, "I Came, I Saw, I Won" but mostly referred to as 'I Conquered" instead of "I Won" because it was Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire.
Maya calls out Cocona in her verse as "Coco-tani" and Cocona volleys it back to Maya (maybe?) when she claims to be "Martian" XG lore being from outer space but also a nickname for Maya is "Martin" = "Martian". is that a stretch?or it is just plain reference to being from outer space

There are no side characters in XG.

Give credit to simon jakops as producer too,thank you
When that Street Fighter reference hits lol.
Always the best reactions, I love your channel
Japanese and Korean sound so good in rap especially when XG doing it 😂 Too bad this song isn't part of the album!
Hopefully they will release to download
Good reaction XG is different and a beast
THX REACTION!

the way you break down the lyrics. so good ❤
Imma say it. XG is literally the best music group of all time.
4:26 probably lost in translation - the lyrics say “the show we stole” and they’re just flexing
The line "They gassed up but they ain't premium unleaded" means their critics, no matter what they do - they ain't gonna match them coz they (critics) don't have what it takes.

m(_ _)m
am I tripping or they´ve incorporated chinese now aswell? cause 3 languages wasnt enought? omg girls calm doowwwwn!!
no,just japanese,korean,english and a little bit of latin
That was Latin they used in Maya's verse. Julius Caesar said it. In fact he explained that in the video.
Unless you are talking about the Korean bars.
