So many people pick Cocona when they first hear this (even me), but the more I listened to the xypher(?), the more I appreciate the rap of Maya. It's so hard.
English is Harvey's 3rd language and despite her dad being Australian she struggles the most with English. Harvey's mom is Japanese but Harvey's 1st language is Japanese and her 2nd is Korean. I think this is why many of her bars she chooses to deliver in Japanese or Korean.
In terms of the cypher , I feel like all 4 girls represented different types of rap. Coco had the flow, Maya had the fast wordplay, Harvey had the melody rap, and jurin had attitude and the confidence. It’s less of a “competition of whose better” and more just showcasing the range they can pull off even in just rap alone which is impressive and no other group that I know of - has been able to show…. In regards to Harvey, she definitely can rap but her voice definitely ain’t for everyone. I think she adds so much style and sound and diversity to the group. But don’t underestimate her bars, she can spit.
Bro the amount of BARZZZZ in these raps are INCREDIBLE! The Alice in wonderland Bar in Chill bill and the part where Harvey in ‘Two Tens’ says “That’s my ride or die on my side plus I got 5 on it” talking about the other members {also referencing the song ‘I got 5 on it’} are ABSOLUTELY INSANE;🤯 LIKE C’MONNNN who’s doin it like them bro!🔥🔥🔥
And Coco's WHOLE part in Nothin' "Wildin out without carrying a cannon" {Nick Cannon and his show Wild N Out} or "Yea, the styles addictin' try and take a CRACK at it" (like a crack addict i'm assuming lmao🤣) this line is personally my fav and what makes it funnier is my name is X-popJunkie!😭 "True playa for real, never miss y'all already know, still haven't taken the L so what you gon do" is also such an ICONIC line!👏
Whoever writes for them always has shots FIRED in Havery's raps lmfaooo! If you listen closely not only to the xypher but especially to Tippy Toes & Shooting Star, Harvey be talking her ish! 🤣
Jurin has such a catchy personality, I'm always drown to lock my eyes into her (mainly on live or fixed dance practices where we can watch all of them at once), she has so much attitude, a perfect choice for a leader indeed.
The part in cypher from Harvey where she's like Gotta keep winning that's a Elon MUST gotta live life like Beyonce knows 🔥🔥 If you look at the lyrics you'd find that her lyrics actually play into a lot of factors then what she just says.
Yes 👍🏽 XG did that. On every platform they’re the Absolute Dream Team. Now you must watch Vox #5. Our girls are on another level. They definitely are breaking the idol stereotypes. I loved watching this with you both. Your a Great friend to introduce him to XG. Thank you for taking the time to react to XG. Merry Christmas 🎁 2023’. 🙋🏻♀️❄️☃️🎄🐺
yall might be too young to know 'Nothins' original track but the song they actually sample is the song stylish sampled, Nothin by NOREAGA thats what they are paying homage to. Listen to the original and you'll actually understand the lalalala reference as well as others.
My girls are no joke and they have came in and change the game because they are incredible and oh my God I cannot believe they’ve almost been just two years I mean we’ve had more music more incredible quality videos great music I’m I have not heard one awful song from XG and I can name a lot from other groups that maybe I might not even listen to so keep it real XG came in the game and was like 2023 they gave us at their first come back then they gave us a full mini album videos for every single song on that medley that mini album then they came out with an incredible Christmas song that I will listen to for the rest of my life cause is that good, I’m trying really hard to think of what they’ve done bad and they have and this girl has amazing work ethic and they’re humble they’re nice they’re kind
Great reaction😀 hope you guys react to girl gvng both the video and the lyric one since the video only covers the first half of their song. Also you gotta check out their Ep!!!👏🏼
PLSSS tell me y'all caught that GOT {Game Of Thrones} reference at ( 7:03 ) that ALWAYSS flies right over people's head lol! 😭"Here for the throne, Khaleesi flow, Burn 'em all, ain't no playin' no games, Hol' up! Lemme just claim my throne real quick, ok ok.." Khaleesi means "Queen" in which they called Daenerys Targaryen seeing as she was the long-lost queen of 7 kingdoms who was trying to claim her throne again and the mother of dragons who ended up going mad and burned down a whole village and it's kingdom peep the barz "Burn 'em all, ain't no playin' no GAMESSS {Game Of Thrones}" & "Hol' up! Lemme just claim my throne real quick" 🔥🔥
That's one of my ALL TIME favorite lines of hers! It does go over some peoples head a lot 😂but to be fair I didn't hear it either the first time I watched this. Also the fact that she was also 16 during this.. her AND Maya and rapping like THAT will always be mind blowing!
Harvey bars from Tape 1. I'mma show you around Wonderland, no Alice, push that make it fade to black, no malice.- Alice In Wonderland bar. Fly with my chitchats, claws like a big cat, punchlines make you run it back, no Tenet (Tenet was a time travel movie). Floor that gas I'mma blow right past, my wheels gon' scream, Straight forget yo ass when the lights turn CeeLo Green. Batto (Japanese sword technique) on your ass, cut clean it's a habit, stone cold when I flip, boy's gotta have it. Young but I'm boss with it, Amy (Harvey's 1st name) gotta floss, ain't no penny for yo thoughts, yo gimmicks. Rat race funny when I'm hoggin' all the cheese, Eyes 20/20 'cause I get it from my G's, This life takes cuts hell yeah I pay the fees, I'mma get it how I live, yeah, I'II be doin' me (On set!).
Great reaction guys! I love how organized and honest but respectful the guy in the red shirt is. I dont necessarily agree with everything he didnt like..i actually like a lot of what he personally disliked but i love how clean his explanations were and im here for it. Lol
Pls do an ateez deep dive they have many amazing songs and music videos ( Halazia/ Guerilla/ bouncy/ fireworks/ turbulence/ hala hala/ say my name/ inception etc...) You can also check out some of their live performances, they're known for going crazy on stage while singing live.
These tapes definitely helped pull me in fo sho! The word play! I love it. I really hope they perform these during their world tour. I know they performed them at the festivals this summer. I can't wait!
I noticed you missed some of the bars in 3A and 3B. That's probably because you guys are young, but they are throwing in a lot of old school references. That being said, despite your opinion on tape one 😏, I really enjoyed your reaction, and I hope you continue this fun journey.👽🐺❤️
The misunderstanding dude has on Jurin's ability that she was INTENTIONALLY rapping off beat with a 3-5 count helps me understand you have no clue what real rap is
