[XG TAPE #3-B] Nothin' (JURIN, COCONA) | REACTION + LYRICS SEMI-EXPLAINED!

[@NerdChannelBrasil]

The "02 flow" line is a double meaning, Jurin is from 2002 and the original song "Nothin" by NORE is from 2002 too.

[@itsandyandjas]

Wow we actually heard that song back in the days now that you say that… but because of the recent song Billie Eilish we totally just thought of it being that song 🙄 LOL. Thanks for letting us know!

[@esperanzafarfan5341]

I feel like XG is the only group who do justice to the early 2000’s R&B and HipHop❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Nothing feels Forced !

[@jaedo6180]

Yes, Jas! You are the first person to point out the "NAw" in the "C to the O C O NAw she a problem" !👍🤘

[@itsandyandjas]

😍🙌

[@619mikeb]

*Special delivery* is a song back in the 90s 👍

[@ChRisu_Ojisan]

The original beat is from Nothin by Noreaga, song came out in 02. Pretty Hot And Tempting = PHAT , that's what we used to tell fie girls back in the days.

[@SHEENA90]

I’m so happy that you guys translated the Korean part..Now it’s more makes sense to me now about the bars about the drama and commas..Also the ‘wildin Out without carrying a canon’ reference to the song THE WARNING BY EMINEM (Mariah Carey Diss)-That was 🔥 thank you🙏🏾

[@itsandyandjas]

Aw happy to help!😍🫶

[@fadlafadila8603]

Thats why I love andy&jas reaction

[@msdanielle2005]

"Yeah, the styles addictin', try and take a crack at it" Is one of them lines people miss the double word play on. Basically saying her style will make you addicted like a crack addict

[@pickle961]

So many bars!! It's insane." Step to the Neptune's"(Pharrell production) then follows with, "real Playa fo real" .. for real sound like Pharrell... mentions lean back.. similar vibe and oldschool.. "when Coco steps in beware.." Koko B Ware is an old school wrestler.. there is so many more also! 🔥 🔥

[@itsandyandjas]

Theres seriously so many!! We missed so many but figured we did 😆 thanks for the info!

[@pickle961]

@@itsandyandjas yall caught most of them! Way more than I did on the first listen

[@BrettMurphynorthps]

Every time I hear a reactor go "Oh my gosh Billie Eilish" I want to scream into the ether. That beat is from the song Nothin on N.O.R.E's album God's Favorite. The song was released in 02 and Produced by the Neptune's.

[@atc562002]

thank you!!!! they don't know these young youtubers... I graduated HS in 2002 so I know this beat from N.O.R.E.s

[@itsandyandjas]

Omg yea we just read a comment about that and started screaming because the original song totally blew over our heads because of that damn billie eilish song. the sad/funny thing is we know that original song. Or heard it back in the days lol🙄 cant believe we didnt even catch it when we were even singing “what you gonna do, nothing” smh. But thanks for letting us know🙏❤️

[@BrettMurphynorthps]

@@itsandyandjas I had that song on repeat back in the day :)

[@msdanielle2005]

Okay, so it's not just me. I try to give them a pass if they're young, but they literally shout-out Nore and the album in the hook. They mention the Neptunes and when they say this that O2 flow, it's a reference to when the song came out. Regardless, they always seem to enjoy the song. I just think they'll enjoy it more knowing that information

[@mauriceharris1527]

THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR the ones who don't know❤🎉🎉 XG taking hip hop serious with the ORIGINAL PHARRELL NEPTUNES BEAT. GODS FAVORITE LIKE N.O.R.E.(what you gonna do?) nothin.❤😂🎉

[@酔ってるなジジィ]

『XG』にreactionしてくださりありがとうございます🎶 m(_ _)m

[@migmif]

I love your XG’s reaction💕Thank you for explaining the meanings of bars. It’s very helpful. There is “internet trolls too cute" in the lyrics, but it sounds to even Japanese like “scary”, so maybe you are right. She seems to rap it ambiguously on purpose, because ”cute” and “scary “ sound similar in Japanese.

[@itsandyandjas]

Yes could be! And thank you~ we definitely missed a lot but thanks for still enjoying🥰

[@AlphaZeta7]

You guys have so much energy and love for XG. Can’t get enough of it.

XG Duo’s bringing back the old school 🚌🎶✨ hip hop Rap. I’m here for it. I appreciate you translating the Korean portion because the Japanese translation was provided by a few commenters. I believe you caught all of the reference and word plays. I loved this Reaction so much ANDY and JAS. I’m waiting for a new Vox Tape by Hinata, Juria and Chisa. If you get an opportunity please view their Documentary Series it’s very motivating and inspiring to see how strong these young talents are. Once Again, love you both. 🙋🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥🇺🇸🐺

[@jonathanwatson5818]

6:50 Cocona- "But they got their hands high like a stick up fanatic" She is wearing a Shohei Ohtani (Japanese player) MLB jersey, some say he might be the best player in Major League Baseball. I think that line is a shout out to Fanatics (American sports brand).

[@jofx1027]

This reaction is dope 🔥 I'm so happy you pause everytime just to catch the references and the bars. This is how XG TAPES should be reacted to. ☺

[@itsandyandjas]

[@DukeTDang]

👍for the lively reaction! XG❤‍🔥🐺

[@ginamarieo789]

Actually, I think it’s an empowered XG redefining of an old school throwback from Rapper’s Delight - The Sugar Hill Gang - “if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend”

[@imson.216]

Dude, after watching almost 100 different reactions, yours is the best. You understand every line of the girls' bars and explain them all, while I watched other reactions where I still don't understand the meaning of some lines. Good job! I'm looking forward to your upcoming reactions about XG. 🐺

[@itsandyandjas]

Oh wow thank you😮❤️ we did miss a lot still but happy you still enjoyed😆🫶

[@PrimeTimeSanders]

Love it and jurin rhyme when she says she too phat was also a clothing line that came out in 1999 so that’s a double bar my bias was spitting 😭😭😭 and follow like Simon says they mangers name is Simon but also like the game Simon says 😮

[@itsandyandjas]

Ooooh thanks for telling us!😍

[@BrettMurphynorthps]

Also the Phat line is from the 1997 Movie called Money Talks, that's where it originated. Chris Tucker's character calls Brie Larsons character Phat, she gets offended until he explains what Phat stands for. If you've never seen that movie watch it, so funny. Even though I think the plot is corny the movie is still a fun watch.

[@PrimeTimeSanders]

@@BrettMurphynorthps yeah I definitely seen the movie used to come on bet all the time

[@Lycaonightley]

This is some serious active listening! Rap is so much more fun when you delve into bars and decipher the references like you do

[@jperez927]

I’ve been waiting for this reaction for so long from you guys. Thank you soooo much!!!!!

[@itsandyandjas]

Thank you for waiting 🥹🫶

[@cza1898]

I think the bar "i spit triligual that's a special delivery" is also a homage to the song Special Delivery by G Dep, Ghostface killa and Diddy. They performed this cypher in NY so that's my theory but idk.

[@michaelstapleton2768]

Amazing how u guys caught the bars and that’s dope ❤❤❤ love XG

[@itsandyandjas]

We watched just wanting to watch XG but damn why are there so many bars in this song!!! LOL. We missed so many but glad you still enjoyed🥹❤️

[@fkaofficialmy]

Follow like Simon says (XG's producer by the way) 😉

[@itsandyandjas]

Oh cool! Thanks for letting us know!

[@nmylr6781]

You guys introduced me to XG in your first reaction of them, and I’ve been hooked ever since! 🎉 Super thank you! These girls are 🔥🔥🔥

No one is doing it like XG! My anticipation for their album is through the roof. Thank you for your explanation of the Korean lyrics.

[@stevemcintyrejr5244]

I enjoy watching your reactions to XG. I believe that by watching their documentary series, you can gain some insights on how to become like XG. Have a great weekend! 😋

[@KRapPsychic]

How to be XG? 5 years of hard practice every day! 😂

[@hayans.p.o.k3443]

yess gimme that double meaning elaboration you guys!!!! always love it

[@prettybrownthang6590]

YES!! Giving props to Method Man for the gift of a lifetime. This beat is a classic!!!!!

[@amnotcarriebradshaw]

If there is one thing you missed is the line, 'then follow what Simon says' they are referring to their CEO, Simon, the man who had the vision of XG and handpicked these girls with some help from his music friends. Also, just want to let you know, these girls are well trained to rap and one of their rap directors is David Kim aka Day Day, former member of Dalmatian. Him and Simon are very good friends. Day Day helped to direct the rap for this video too as well as most of the girls' rap mixtapes and xypher.

[@leteflondondu92]

Its a double meaning it's reference their ceo and also reference a song called Simon says by pharoe monch

[@KRapPsychic]

Also the childhood game Simon Says is a game where you do everything the person playing Simon says and follow that with action. Like Simon says Nod your head, and you have to follow. 😂

[@slalomie]

I was wondering who wrote their raps! Curious where you found the info on who wrote their lyrics? As soon as I heard their lyrics I knew a very skilled American rapper from that era had to be behind their raps.

[@kingbyouchoob2488]

XG's rapline got old skool b-girl blood flowing through those veins. A girl group who can actually spit like some G's. XG's entire crew all 7 of them just ultra talented there is no weak link. Elite rapline. Elite dance crew. Elite vocals. Elite visuals. Thanks for supporting these young queens.

Aw tysm🥹🙏❤️

[@jeannie13]

one of my fav girl groups rn cocona, jurin and maya are my favorites

[@jesusoyervides5197]

So the more I listen this the more I pick up themes, So when Cocona says " they don't know about that old school smoke no Jo camel" , this is my interpretation, this is a call out to other Idols in the industry that are rappers because they are told to be, they are just rappers for their group without going deep into rap or hip-hop music, they chose an old school beat for this not only because other Idols won't do it but probably because they don't know it. The next line when she says, "Alphas on deck put some respect on those two letters" , I interpret it as having respect for the fanbase for knowing the references and honoring OGs that have come before them. Which is ballsy for an Idol group, these girsl although, are for all people its as if they are targeting the old heads and millennials with Gen-Z youth. At the end when they say "XG breaking Idol StereoTypes", I took it as, Yea we know people say that Idol's can't rap, Its not our fault, but we are going to show you a new standard for idol groups, when it comes to rapping. XG literally made stop taking other groups seriously, they made me feel like every other idol group is just manufactured and just making music just to make money.

[@blarmy827]

Basically everything you just said is the step by step instructions for the BTS rapline lmao ones who were hip hop heads long before they were idols… making songs with nods to hip hop greats, writing and producing their own mixtapes on their own time…. It’s the way BTS debuted lol and with experienced real ass emcees leading the way with no money while singing and rapping in Korean….. it’s exactly like BTS lol especially making tracks with old school beats…worked on their own lyrics for regulator with warren g himself… it’s wild how much of what you said links to BTS .. mainly the rapline … but again that hip hop love came long before they were ever idols… interesting… may be why I have been in to xg so much since I discovered them. Crazy

[@blarmy827]

Also I wouldn’t be such a judgmental snob about other idols… they don’t all have the options to do what they want to do or make the music that they want to… bc it’s out of their hands… idol groups are literally put together to make talented groups… xg was put together with this specific concept in mind lol it’s literally the same exact thing. Not every country has the same opportunities for jobs and lives for adults after graduating school… some idols became idols to help provide for their poor families… and are so desperate to succeed that they kill themself to be able to succeed. You may want to jump off your high horse making ignorant comments like you did in the last part of your comment… that’s pretty foul.

[@jesusoyervides5197]

1:01 I’m gonna need someone to explain to me how tf cocona is not only NOT one of their like 3 main dancers… but she’s also not a lead dancer and I’m fact she has NO dance position in this group?!?!?!? Ain’t no way… she’s top 1 or 2 imo… jurin is fire and so so good… she’s exceptional as a dancer.. but cocona was born w undeniable rhythm… she dances as if it’s as easy as breathing with how she moves.. especially bc she’s always in the back and off to the sides… like this girl deserves more center time … she specially since she’s 1 of 2 main rappers… jurin is a lead rapper and there’s no way in hell that makes sense bc she’s got WAY more parts than cocona rapping… Harvey also does … but not in an extreme way… some of the songs the first like 10 seconds of the song are just jurin rapping.. like they could at least split that up to not do cocona so dirty… and last she holds no vocal position in this group even though she was winning singing competitions even before xg… and she sings in quite a few of their songs. I’m not saying she needs all the center time and top of all positions bc each of these girls are top tier talent and charisma… but the lopsided distribution is such a shame with all this talent. Coco deserves better imo… and I know I mentioned jurin I’m my explanation but I love jurin too… she’s crazy talented and smart.. choreographs and leads flawlessly…she deserves everything she gets bc she’s that good…. But cocona is that good or damn close especially in dance and rap… so it’s be nice to highlight her more often with all these other absolute superstars

[@Mikotosuoh-kh4ts]

Still haven't taken a L 🐺🐺

[@princessbuttercup5928]

Wildn out without (mariah) carey-ing a (nick) canon!!!! Fucking dope!

[@GAcomicfan78]

My first interpretation of the “wilding out” line is that XG doesn’t need to carry a gun to be cool. However I think there is a deeper sociological reference of that line since part of the 3A & 3B raps are about breaking stereotypes. Canon is a Japanese camera brand. The “wilding out without a canon” line is implying that XG is the antithesis of stereotypical camera-toting Japanese tourists. Note that in the lyrics, canon is spelled with one “n”. Several of their songs & raps mention breaking stereotypes such as Maya in tape 3A saying “XG pushing xp, breaking boundaries, hit different, built different…” Breaking stereotypes is a recurring theme in many of their songs and I think a Nick Cannon reference in Nothing is coincidental and doesn’t fit the theme.

[@princessbuttercup5928]

@@GAcomicfan78 I think it may reference both the more surface level and deeper themes, as you mention. I appreciate your thoughts!

this might be a personal thing but not gonna lie once i heard you guys listen to type A without record i almost closed the window.. still havent even watched this video yet but im going too. BUT DEADASS, this might be a me thing only, but when i heard that you watched tape A and didnt record your reaction I was about to close all the tabs i had open from your videos i had for XG open (Playlist FTW)... i know it sounds weird... I only speak for myself of course.. I get in mood and want to listen to certain artist and like to watch reactions.. so when someone like you guys express interest but then watch video on your off time instead of recording and uploading your first reaction its kind of annoying.. like deadass not even lying i stop watching a lot of people if they just casually watch videos they could have reacted to and upload.. then proceed to even say they already saw it and wont post a reaction.. OH and i dont want a fake reaction so since you watched it before hand i dont want to see a fake reaction.. I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF. im just saying.. other then that enjoying both you guys so far.. welp couldnt do it.. (stop like less then40 secs.) i dont know what it is, but once i know you skip shit without reacting for youtube i lose all interest.. then proceed to tell me how good it is. I KNOW ITS GOOD, I WANT TO WATCH YOU REACTION NOT TELLING ME SOMETHING I KNOW ALREADY! moral of the story is to not tell people you've already watched videos you could have reacted to then proceed to tell me it was amazing... we know this we want your reaction not your opinion.
