Shohei Ohtani is Cocona's favorite player. Cocona said her dad and grandfather played baseball in Japan. XG went to an Angels game when they were in LA. Simon is a big baseball fan too.
Maya and Cocona got some writing credits. Their manager/producer Simon (JAKOPS) along with Czaer did production. The “Veni, vidi, vici, motto, came, saw, conquered” line was a shout out to Czaer and the Roman Julius Caesar who said that quote!!!!
Yes, yes and yes -- that's a Shohei Ohtani reference, Cocona (she's wearing the Ohtani Jersey on XG TAPE 3-B and Simon (JAKOPS), their CEO & mentor is a BIG Ohtani fan. Also Cocona and Maya co-wrote this song for Street Woman Fighter 2 (Dance Competition) . That's dope.-B
Yaaass!! Thank you for checking this out, they even had the writing credits on this. It was for a dance battle show called street woman fighter. Gotta check Puppet Show too 🫶🏽🙌🏽 appreciate you taking the time ❤️🙏🏼
@@pauzeandrewind of course! Thanks for sharing Your point of view, they are always so spot on & your quick witted when you react, I can see how you apply that to your music as well 🔥
I love the moment the bars hit for you brother!!! You caught them right as they happened. XG is just damn scary...yeah I always gotta pause and realize it. From the bars to the vocals....can't wait for what's next!
My favorite line I thought you'd catch was when Maya says, " Veni Vidi Vici moto, came, saw, conquered." It's the Latin phrase Julius Caesar made iconic.
Cocona and Maya both have some writing credits on the track. XG just performed at a music festival in Malaysia this past weekend and Armani White (big t-shirt Billie Eilish) performed there too. MTV Asia asked him what artist does he want collab with in Asia? He said “XG…..I like XG.” There have been other artists too who have said they want to collab with XG. They already have collabed with Ciara and Jackson Wang on the official Left Right remix.
There is not a visual from XG for this because it was produced for the show Street Wiman Fighter 2 a Korean dancing crew competition. Tsubakill is the group who danced to it. As far as recommendations go, I'd just start from the beginning and hit all the songs you haven't heard. Tippy Toes -> Mascara and so on. Great video, as always! Us Alphaz appreciates it and you!
@amiga4everandever incorrect, XG has no family ties to Tsubakill. There is a long stand joke about Juria and Akanen being sisters because they look super similar, though.
You're one of the few reactors I've seen actually catch the Cena reference. Everyone catches the "John Doe" but it's crazy how many miss the John Cena double in there, too. These girls are *CRAZY* good. Maya is my favorite for sure but man they're all so damn good it feels unfair. The whole group is a problem. My only complain with XG is I need them to put out music faster. I need more, especially the rap line. I like a lot of their full tracks too but man whenever I see the rap line put out another pure Hip-Hop track my ears perk up immediately because they don't miss. Ever.
You finally got to it, bro! XG's maknae line is 🔥🔥 and the girlz have writing credits for this track. Yeah, that's a bar for Ohtani 😂😂. We knew you'd love it! Keep doing what you do, we enjoy it. 🐺💮🐰 ALPHAZ on deck!
It's no doubt a fire track also written for the group TSUBAKILL in the Street Woman Fighter dance performance. You might wanna check out that video too! Love the reaction bruh!!
This song was suppose to be used on a korean dance competition show called "street woman fighter season 2" Hence the "street battle me" lines and the dance break in the middle and no visuals cuz it wasn't used at the end by any of the dance crews
Yes. But called Street Woman Fughter 2, second season. Japanese Dance crew Tsubakill danced to it. Their intro video with it is out there. Sadly, they didn't get much screen time, as they were eliminated early. Korean TV can't have a Japanese group go far, it's politically incorrect.
I caught myself clapping when you caught the Jon doe/Jon 'Seen a' bar, and doing the "you can't see me" gesture too ROFL! I think a couple of other folks mentioned it, but they did do this live in their Sydney concert. Super dope! But I do have a request. The interlude part, I believe, was meant for a dance break since the song's part of the Street Woman Fighter album (Street Woman Fighter being a female dance crew battle show). BUT! There are folks who use it to write and incorporate their own bars in that part to turn it into a rap challenge. I would love to see you rap in it.
Bruh... 7:06 ... i never had a clue what that shit meant and was hype af when you said it was a bar. im over here like "fucking TELL ME why its a bar!" (anticipation stresses me out) and when you said cena my mouth screamed "oh SHIT" even though my brain knew it was 1 a.m. and its (was) dead silent in this house. you stay catching bars i never knew existed lol. see this is why i just subbed.
If you watch the documentary, there's a lot of African-American Musician in the studio w Lead Producer Simon, so don't be too surprised by the references. They've basically just inserted young Japanese Women onto a Western Rap beat. Not hatin', just sayin'. Nobody is willing to use the term cultural appropriation
Like it doesn't make sense. You see what you perceive as a facades with the looks, the choreography, dancing, pop vibe, but then the flow and bars are really top tier. Kinda mind blowing really.
I love your reactions to XG but can I just say your song at the end of the reaction stopped me in my tracks. Are you on Spotify? And what’s the name of that song!?
It almost makes you think they have a writer but, they all have their unique style and it's consistent af. Unless each member has a writer. It's that good.
DUDE, I APPRECIATE YOU because I never would have caught a lot of those bars. I listen to rap, but listen to what sounds good. I don't always understand.
