I don’t understand why it’s a big deal for some whether they write it or not like your faves don’t have ghost writers?? Let’s be for real 😂 Plus these girls are really creative so I’m genuinely curious what they had outputs on OR if they were to actually produce or make their own music
@AnthonyRay7 ай бұрын
None of my favorite rappers have ghostwriters. You don’t understand it, then I’ll educate you. Being a lyricist is about writing your own raps. If you rap something someone else wrote, you’re not meaning those words because they aren’t yours. If you use ghostwriters, you aren’t a lyricist. I can’t take someone’s words serious if they didn’t write it.

@@AnthonyRay Point taken and I get what you’re coming from. But I’m actually referring to kpop stans and trolls trying to find fault with XG and compare them to their other gg / kpop artists as if their faves are writing their own verses. Like I said, it would be great if they can be actively involved in the writing and production process as they seem really creative (based off their documentaries and interviews). Now that would def set the bar higher :)

Sis, I understand what you mean, and I understand AR's idea. You have two different perspectives. As a group, their writing skills training time is definitely inferior to that of professional rappers. The KPOP cultural industry will indeed use this to attack them on the Internet when facing the impact.

Yup these verses all seem to have their(xg) mark on it, it seems to be the product of taking a lot of input from the group and then writing verses that each showcase their personalities.

I am a native English speaker, living in Japan 15 years and I am more likely to miss recent English references than Japanese ones. I am capable of making hella puns in Japanese, but not in French, which I have spoken for 30 years, because I don't really listen to French music or watch that much TV. So, it is completely possible, even if unlikely.

There's a difference being an emcee who's strictly hip hop and a rapper from company. These ladies can sing and rap and dance. They give life to the music they're given. Now it would be cool if they are developing the choreo ( I hear Jurin does that) and writing/producing. Hopefully Simon will give them those opportunities. But we can't compare what they do to someone who ONLY raps. We can say that compared to a lot of "rappers" who only rap, they are way better as they can sing, rap and dance LIVE. So I give them leeway. This coming from a hip hop head since the 80s, so I want my emcees to write their own lyrics. But I would love to hear songs they wrote exclusively though.

They chose their beats and do what you call a rough draft then it gets cleaned up and schemed properly as English translation would need lots of words switching and adding definite articles determiners and proposition words to make the sentence relatable and proper. example; Petty to their toes is Tsumasaki ga kogara / small toes in google translate. They have been studying music and dance for 5 years before debut. They have musicality. In an interview with Billboard or Apple music. They played them some songs and they broke down the beat and knew the count from the minor key and other jargon so they are very knowledgable in music but having to write in English as a 3rd language is not easy. Maya also would struggle as she is not from US so they need the American team to work with to get the lyrics and current pop culture knowledge. Shayshay & Drake ref which is current right now. Proof is they have credit for Show You Can. Since this is not an official song that has masters and is owned by another company. All they can do is upload it on Platforms for free with no ads for profit.

Kayfabe is basically prowrestling term for keeping the lie genuine. This would be like you shouldn't see one of the Good wrestlers at a bar with one of the Bad guys. They would call that breaking kayfabe because you're destroying the illusion of it all being a real. Monday Night RAW has been the longest running prowrestling show as it started in 1993 and is still going, but the Raw line also fits the previous one about Kobe Beef. It was some really clever word play on her part.
