COCO with the BLUEPRINT!!| [XG TAPE #4] Dirt Of Your Shoulder (COCONA) | Reaction | COMMENTARY

[@donfulwood4230]

I'm 70, hip hop head...this is why I love Hip Hop.

[@riopato2009]

Can you believe Jay Z's original came out 3 years before Cocona was even born? These girls do their homework like studious students. What happens when Thanos snaps over Cocona's shoulder? People turn to dust and she just brushes it off - this bar is hard. Every verse is a JayZ reference used against the haters, Genius.

[@jhomsubiaga-cabaro5715]

Jay Z was a timeless classic 😊 may be Cocona will pass this Culture into her Grandchildren 😂

[@r7calvin]

I'm pretty sure they have ghostwriters, which is pretty understandable given that most of them aren't actually fluent in English.

[@riopato2009]

@@r7calvin no one cares, they still have to execute what they are learning and still have the talent to be engaging. Why would you be on this reaction anyway to even post a comment then?

[@r7calvin]

@@riopato2009 because I like their music? I don't need to pretend they wrote the lyrics to appreciate their artistry...

[@riopato2009]

That Meteor bar goes deeper than you think. A Meteor ia also a Shooting Star one of xg's songs, also Meteora is a Linkin Park album the group who collabed with Jay Z on Encore mentioned earlier in the song.

[@xxdreetjexx]

That meteor bar is even deeper then you mentioned above because in the track 'show you can' by maya and cocona , one of their bars is: we're meteor flame, they're mediocre plain. I think that is why they used the word meteor here

[@OleDirtyBastard68]

@@xxdreetjexx We're down to a quadruple entendre by now ^^

[@Gizmo_Mogwai_]

What's crazy, she spits that Thanos bar in the beginning and brings it all back together at the end with the "multiversal" line. The scheming is just insane on this. Literally every sentence is a bar or reference. And with the double time rapping , so dope. 🔥🔥🔥

[@mattdhorstman]

I'm not sure if you missed these, or if you just didn't mention: "with my X La Familia" - La Familia is a song off of Magna Carta Holy Grail "Galaxy empire state of mind" - Empire State of mind is a song with Alicia Keys off of The Blueprint 3 "Am I a gift and a curse" - The name of The Blueprint 2 album "Always ready to show and prove it" - Show and Prove is a song by Big Daddy Kane featuring Jay-Z, some would say Jay-Z's breakout verse As to why people hate on XG? There are just a lot of clowns out there who don't understand the difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Anyone who knows anything about XG and their organization knows that their appreciation of black culture and hip hop culture is unmatched in the international scene.

[@pauzeandrewind]

💯💯💯 you nailed it, my friend!

[@missladylexx]

Thorough! 💯

[@JONJon-COD]

They literally did go to these classes which is crazy

[@vmonk2]

“Rock fell out of the sky” = Rockafella (jay z’s label)

[@vmonk2]

Coco was rapping JZ when she was 8. I was going to hip hop clubs in Tokyo in 2000. The Japanese have always loved hip hop since the 90s

[@elisaa0290]

Our fire 🍄 Cocona!!! She makes it look easy! She is definitely born for rapping!!

[@jonathanwatson5818]

XG just dropped a surprise track- Trampoline.

[@Amandatory-Sessions]

So much homage 🔥🔥 there’s like 10-11 Jay-Z references in a min something 🤯🙌🏽🐺♾️

[@pauzeandrewind]

Yeah, even more than I caught on first listen! Crazy!

[@Positioned2win]

Yeah they get so much hate. People are threatened I feel keepin it real. And nobody can touch them. They just dropped a bonus surprise. Straight fire and they are having fun

[@TdotAntiordinary]

XG setting the bars so high the haters' fav group can't reach it so they start hating hoping to drop the bar back to hell lol.

[@infallibleblue]

I love Cocona. Straight fire.

[@mlm5150]

These ladies have done nothing but prop up old school hip hop and rnb. This was a whole love letter to Jay Z. Some people missed some of the references like La Familia. The bar "When the haters hear this, they gonna get in their feelings, wishing for a reply" could be in reference to Open Letter that Jay wrote in regards to haters. Blueprint2 The Gift and The Curse. Like you said bro...Homage

[@mlm5150]

And I whole heartedly agree.... Bring that 90s look back!

[@pauzeandrewind]

💯💯💯

[@MsRockMonkay]

The sad thing is I see alot of the hate comments and a good chunk are African Americans saying these girls are "cosplaying black culture" its depressing that there are still so many that think that. especially when you hear these girls talk and can tell just how much they LOVE and adore hip hop and r&b then have so many people trying to keep them out of it just because they are japanese.

[@terryduke6502]

one of the things Eminem always gets credit for is he always refences the ones who came before you can see XG does similar things and that they are heavily influenced by late 90's early 2000s hip hop. personally i love it.

[@xxgyaruxx]

whatta reaction 🔥🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@bankrollplays5744]

Bro your reaction is me af lmaoooo i dun almost loss my best friend bc she called this trash like its amazing how many people dont know how much better rap is when it makes sense and not talkin bout s3x money drugs and murder

[@pauzeandrewind]

Trash??? TRAAAASSSHH?? Them is fightin' words!

[@MeiO_Rayleigh]

These reactions really show how much of a real G you are. Your outro gets me pumped every time, I’m about to check your music and I know some of it is gonna end up on my playlist !🔥

[@TheNotoriousCheeto]

Awesome video!

[@runthecomics]

So many Jay-Z references, even some you missed. (X La Familia=Roc La Familia, Empire State of Mind, Gift & the Curse, Show & Prove [song by Jay-Z & Big Daddy Kane], and more....). Probably one of the best written XG verses honestly.

[@pauzeandrewind]

It's crazy dope

[@Oppps]

Great reaction and best breakdown from any reactors so far! 🔥🔥👽 new subscribers here!

[@BrettMurphynorthps]

It's a small section of the black community complaining about appropriation and braids. Some K-pop fans are in their feelings about how dope XG is. I know they get a bit of hate in Korea also.

[@XG_Ah-Wo0-wOo-WoO]

A bit? They're the most hated gg in South Korea..

[@annabellaroma9886]

Every line was a jay reference. Out of respect Very very few have caught the rockafella line 😂

[@davidgollinger7376]

Cocona wrote that, all the girls write their own raps

[@nickthoj]

What I want to know is if they aren’t writing their bars then who the fuck is. XG too freaken genius, a good rapper will have a couple songs with that kinda bars. How are they able to keep producing genius stuff like this over and over

[@Kibashino2]

LESSS GOOO

[@Khosmunkhdev]

Some comment said It's love letter to Jay-Z, I liked this comment omg

[@truthseekercanada]

She didnt waste a single bar...crazy

[@jhomsubiaga-cabaro5715]

90's was fire 2020's was 😑

[@pauzeandrewind]

90's was definitely the wave!
