XG MAYA and COCONA RAPPING (Show you Can REACTION)

[@MarkCalica]

Also Maya and Cocona got co-writing credits for this. Yup, do not mess with the GRL GVNG

[@Le-hs5se]

'Fear nobody but God, that's the essentials' = Fear of God Essentials reference, the californian clothing brand 'Coco-tani' = Ohtani reference, the japanese baseball player who plays for LA Angels 'And y'all ain't seen a group like us as if our name was John tho' = triple entendre (John tho, John Doe, John Cena). The John Cena one being in the 'and y'all ain't seen a' part. If you listen close enough it actually sounds like Maya is saying 'John Cena'. Also, they're playing around the John Cena slogan 'You can't see me'. 'Sure you can'/'Show you can' = Shoryuken reference, the special attack used by Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter game

[@MarkCalica]

Czaer is Caesar and JAKOPS is Simon, XG’s executive producer and CEO of XGALX. Show you can is word play for “Shoryuken”. Street Fighter, Ryu and Ken’s move.

[@UC777UC]

Cocona's talent is obvious, but she's earned it through hard work. She has been rapping since elementary school. Six years before her debut, she continued to work hard. Maya as well.

[@Seijjang]

Coco-tani = cocona + ohtani i guess .. Ohtani Shohei is a Japanese professional baseball pitcher and designated hitter for the Los Angeles Angels .. remember their 'Nothin' mv' ? Cocona also wore Ohtani's Jersey there so i think that's where the lyrics reference came from

[@RoyHiro]

That’s right. To add more context, Ohtani’s teammate Mike Trout (three time American League MVP, nine time Silver Slugger and eleven time All Star) is often second from the top on the Los Angeles Angels roster this season when Ohtani is third, and some Angels fans named and call this combination “Trout-ani” expecting these two most talented players in MLB history to hit homers back to back and win a game. I guess Cocona is a big fan of Ohtani and Coco-tani could mean she hits a homer in music while Ohtani hits a homer in baseball.

Simon Jakops is XG's CEO and basically their father figure. Show You Can was made for Korean dance battle show Street Woman Fighter season 2.

[@nitrokid]

You're the first reactor who knows which one is HADOKEN and which one is SHORYUKEN 😂 Respect, man 👍

[@HyperAB]

Coco is just a natural but Maya's pronunciation and word play is just next level.

[@nataliemarshall7158]

Old white Aussie lady here and just wanted to say how much I enjoy you and your reactions. I found you last November after I found Hi Ren, and you have taught me so much about music that previously I would not even have looked at/listened to previously because I was ignorant and didn’t understand what I was listening to. Thank you for doing what you do and for being you, you bring me knowledge and joy! Keep doing you! And ps I have also been enjoying your own music and look forward to enjoying more of it in the future. ❤from 🇦🇺

As always thank you Anthony for your reactions.

I really enjoy watching when you “break down,” please continue the XG journey with ALPHAZ!!

[@dizzymcdizz]

The "Step Up" reference makes mad sense since as you saw this is for "Street Women Fighter 2" which is a All Female dance crew competition show. Coco-tani is a wordplay with Cocona's and Shohei Ohtani's names. Ohtani is a Japanese Baseball player for the LA Angeles and is being consider one of the best ever and he's not even 30 yet. The song name "Show You Can" is a play of shoryuken and special move in the classic video game "Street Fighter" Big, massive, ginormous props to Maya and Cocona on having writing credits on this song. Equally huge props to JAKOPS (AKA Simon the executive producer and CEO of XGALX [XGs company]) for making this fire ass beat along with every other XG beat. I cant wait to see where these girls will be in terms of skill in 4-5 years. No body is touching them now and nobody will be close to them in the future. They truly in a League Of Their Own 😉 ALIENS DO EXIST AND THEY'RE XG 👽🛸🧬🌌🌠

[@jofx1027]

Maya and Cocona actually co-wrote this track which made it so much better. Simon (JAKOPS) is actually XG'S producer and CEO of XGALX. Simon needs to feed the kids well. Because they ate so much and still hungry. 😂 MaCona subunit is freaking DANGEROUS. 🔥

[@arare1365]

I was waiting for you to react this🫶🏻🐺 knew that you will appreciate Maya & Cocona’s rap👏🏻

[@nelsonortiz9295]

There are many solid female rappers in kpop but you can tell the difference between a kpop rapper and a rapper who does kpop cocona is a rapper she gives off battle rapper vibes I can easily see her collab with some khiphop artists

it's x-pop not k-pop

They are HipHop Xpop Rnb not Kpop nor Jpop, but I agreed on you about the difference level of XG skills and the other Kpop rapper wanna be, i think they can slay 80% of Kpop Rappers both GG and BG if they compose a Disstrack 😂

[@ThisIsHowIFight]

holy shit I've been stuck trying to figure the best interpretation for that "Jon though" line. Even if its meant to have multiple meanings, a John Cena reference makes the most sense by far. THANK YOU. my brain can relax now.

[@aleannagrace]

The Jon though is also a reference to a John doe which is what they call victims if they can't be identified/they are unknown. Just wanted to add that. Have a good day.◉⁠‿⁠◉

[@souki777]

They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love XG 🐺 thank you For your reaction

6:30 Coco-tani refrence to Ohtani Shohei.. Japanese baseball player for LA Angels (best player for rite now)

[@zibbitybibbitybop]

Cocona is what you get when you pair elite natural talent with years of hard work - superior results. There's simply no substitute.

[@markjoon6489]

Coco-Tani is ref to Shohei Ohtani a Japanese baseball player who plays for LA Angels thats leading in home runs this year & top 3 as a pitcher at same game. Literally the best to ever play the game.

[@祐ゆり]

ココナの低音ボイスが大好き❤ マヤの高速ラップが大好き❤ XGのリアクションありがとう🫶

[@MC_Rohr]

co-co tani reference is play on words for their baseball hero Ohtani, the Japanese pitching and home run hitter for California Angels

[@EL1991_]

Coco is a reference to Cocona and -tani is a reference to Ohtani, a Japanese baseball player who plays pitcher in the MLB.

[@rachmatmulia5212]

XG is truly extraordinary according to their name, haters may hate them as they please but it still won't affect their talent, skills, charisma and confidence, and that actually makes the haters themselves look stupid.

[@DukeTDang]

Coco-tani, players, plate, strike-out: reference to baseball and Shohei Ohtani being the greatest! Triple Entendre’s Combo Finish! Sure you can, Show you can, Shoyuken! Roof off turn it into confetti meaning they win bro! - end of music show confetti winner blasts or like AGT golden buzzer Veni vedi vici - latin for “I came, I saw, I conquered” so this track technically Quadra-lingual! Seen a group like us … Jon though - “you can’t see me” John Cena saying, also Jon Doe is a nobody victim so double entendres

korean is maybe the easiset language to learn to read in the world. It will take you 10-20 min to learn it. You won't understand it but you will be able to read it. And if you do that, you can easily see the difference between japanese and korean written language ;)

They are rapping in all three languages in this track! Look at the characters, the Korean and Japanese are quite distinct.

I guess four languages if you count the Latin cameo

Technically they have incorporated 4 languages in their music, English, Japanese, Korean and ESL! They did a whole GIRL GVNG video where they did it in sign language! (No to mention the girl gang choreo has sign language blended in too)

[@ichi913]

Cocotani=Cocona+ Otani, the super talented Japanese two-way (pitches and bats super high level) baseball player for the LA Angels, so the baseball references; "steppin to the plate", #strike out".

[@tylercasson6057]

The "Limited player steppin' to the plate" and "Even heavyweights strike out when coco-tani's playin'" is potentially a reference to Japanese baseball player Shohei Ohtani and "striking out" Basically saying that nobody has what Cocona has

[@Phantom_Silver8]

I hope cocona & maya collab w UK rapper

[@katferreira1119]

I recommend you watch street woman fighter 1 and 2 and also street man fighter.. awesome dance competition show and you have a lot of collabs from different artists on the show. I think it was on street woman fighter 1 that we had the release of a Jessi bop

[@donaldexley1852]

You can tell when you really like something, start beat boxing and rapping, love it!

[@ShaychanXG]

An easy way to tell if it’s Japanese in these videos, where it’s romanized, if you can break down the words into smaller ones, it’s Japanese. For example, Omedetou Gozaimasu is congratulations in Japanese. O-me-de-tou Go-za-i-ma-su

“And y’all ain’t seen a group like us as if our name was Jon though” It’s a double, “if our name was John Doe” Edit: I actually didn’t think of John Cena at first, now since you said it, every time I hear the part right before “and y’all ain’t seen a” the way she says it actually sounds like John Cena too
