XG Sings 'Left Right', Kehlani, and Doja Cat in a Game of Song Association | ELLE

no trynna be mean really but blackpink sang 2 popular song idk if they could name Khelani or Big K.R.I.T etc

Nobody can question XG's musical pedigree when it comes to hip hop and R&B, they routinely named songs here that are older than themselves. No way they'd know those classic artists if they didn't listen to them on a regular basis.

[@Farasong2328]

What I love about them is that you can tell that they actually know and enjoy that style of music, it’s not just a concept for them. To me their y2k concept seems the most authentic right now. With other groups, you can tell that it’s just a concept or trend for them and the members don’t know anything about that style or the artists that pioneered that era.

[@vmonk2]

truth

[@bingbong6323]

i agree when it comes to overall rnb, hip hop, and soulful english songs, but just because xg is well cultured in western music doesn't make the other kpop/jpop groups that are still very knowledgeable and cultured in asian, korean, and japanese music any less cultured! xg is way more knowledgeable in western music than other kpop groups, yes, but we've seen other groups VERY cultured of their own language/country's music and that's just as impressive! an asian group doesn't have to be very cultured about western music (outside of their language, culture, and area) in order for them to be considered knowledgeable in music!! :D

[@mahdireza5695]

​@bingbong6323 while what you say is pretty true, I don't think anyone said that.

[@suezzzy_b]

It's more than just learning to sing in the english language. XG feels authentic in their passion, purpose and music direction. That's why they are a cut above the rest of the idol groups of this generation. You can even tell how they enjoy their own songs and not going through the motion like robots. It's refreshing to see in a sea of heavily manufactured idols.
