[XG TAPE #3-B] Nothin’ (JURIN, COCONA) REACTION

[@zibbitybibbitybop]

The haters can't accept that it's possible for a group of Japanese girls to be so authentic with their hip hop and R&B, but you said it yourself, they're students of the game. They grew up listening to the famous black artists and were inspired by them, so when they dress and rap the way they do, it's legit. Hip hop culture may have been founded by black American artists, but it belongs to the world now, and XG always pays respect to their predecessors.

The fact that they dance like a Polished dance crew and sing and rap on that level!! It’s making noice all over the world and It’s making some people afraid forsure 🐺🔥

[@c.brady9246]

They're surprisingly getting hate because some people feel like they are appropriating black culture (Cocona will wear her hair braided sometimes and Jurin had her hair semi-twisted in pigtails at a recent concert) and that they use slang/language associated with black culture. All of it is beyond stupid and people just want something to be upset about and I'm black. They have respect for the culture and grew up on our music. The reason members of XG wanted to be artists was because of that. They're black rappers that are people's favorites that pretend to be something they are not (Hood, Gangsta image)and sell records all the time but yet we never call that out lol.

[@fvnboy]

Bruh really?!? I too am a black and I didn’t feel like they were appropriating one bit ! They do they’re homework and it shows ! You can tell they’re students of the game just listen to the bars ! They drop so many cultural references! They’re too good !

Wow I am so happy to hear this from you guys❤ thanks for supporting XG.

[@_ericreations]

@@fvnboy thank you for this ❤️ thanks for supporting XG ✨

[@eksymoncheri]

Yes, XG has haters. Cause they're built different and trying to break "idol" stereotypes. At first it was some korean haters cause they didn't like the fact that XG was based and promoting in korea. The hate was so bad. I mean, Simon is half korean, half japanese. And as someone living in a multi-cultural society, I don't see anything wrong with that but some koreans are still very closed-off and selective on who they welcome to their turf. Some people were even racist towards the girls for no reason. But I love how Simon (their main producer) keeps pushing boundaries and is experimental with the girls. All their songs are different. Even their XG TAPEs are different. They're doing things their own way.

[@fvnboy]

Yeah I find them to be so refreshing! Love what they’re doing !

[@jonathanwatson5818]

I mean Hinata (blonde) of XG is also half Korean and half Japanese. You'd think Koreans would be happy about that but nope.

[@eksymoncheri]

@@jonathanwatson5818 exactly!! Some koreans still hated on XG even after the fact that Hinata was of korean descent was public knowledge. Kinda sad. But I’m so glad they’re gaining traction worldwide and working with american producers in their rookie years. How the industry has flourished. 🚀

[@CowboyTalksTooMuch]

It's really frustrating since doing well in Japan is a major milestone for many K-pop groups as well, or things like doing a concert in Tokyo Dome. But flip it around and XG don't even get a fair shake in Korea.

Lol, I was arguing with people on Twitter about this. They were saying look at them with their hair braided and throwing on some clothes and black cosplaying. I'm like , all those clothes were made in Asia by Asians so we must be dressing like them! The people I was arguing with wouldn't even wear clothes like that, but mad at XG because at some point in time a black person wore similar clothing, which obviously means no one that is not black can wear anything with even a slight resemblance.

[@libraryofpapel]

Yes Neptunes / Billionaire Boys Club, a bathing ape, Nigo, teriyaki boyz, Medicom bear bricks. That era had so much US Japan hiphop cultural fusion. Act like you know

[@D_JIM99]

XG is the first girl group out there, that are not Idols to me. Even though they were trained in they way K-pop idol format were trained, but their approach has been different. XG members were more cultivated and nourished with their talent, taste and their style preference which is obviously hip hop and RnB. Jakops who has been behind this had another vision, the vision we as ALPHAZ are grateful for. XG are all artists rather than idols. XG is culture 💯🙌

There is enough room out there for everyone, they just need to bring their A game too. I’m from the US and I miss this type of music with real bars. They are killing it and making it look easy.

[@indigo_neo]

people who wanna hate on xg are ignorant and it SHOWS. not everything is cultural appropriation (why we still using that term anyway? it's vague and ambiguous), and there is a huge difference between that and appreciation for black music. xg grew up listening to the same stuff i did, and that's so awesome to see.

[@1viewer1]

This is still the XG chill mode. The beasts are still on a leash. Cocona at 13yo as a trainee was spitting Logic ft. Eminem's Homicide. As chisa said, the XG rapline are yet to s show off. Plus the XG voxline are immaculately talented as well. More XG!!!!!

[@MarkCalica]

They have some haters in South Korea and now here. Knetz hating on them cause they are a Japanese group promoting in Korea. And the hate here is cause some people think they are “cultural appropriating” a culture. Their will always be haters, the good thing is that’s a very small number. They have more love from real fans and new fans alike.

Xg will ascend anyyyways 🥳

[@fvnboy]

Yeah rapping should be judged on the bars and flows everything else outside of the actual raps shouldn’t matter especially when you can tell they’re well versed in the history of it all

[@monstafloppa871]

Sometimes I feel people forget that the only way hip hop and r&b moves across the world is when kids in these other countries becomes fans and students of the genres they enjoy. Call them CA and it sounds disingenuous. Besides that, you can tell how much these young ladies love the music. I have watched a few of their documentary segments where they mention where inspiration comes from - Mary H. Blige, TLC, Lauryn Hill, the list goes on and it becomes obvious that they have a great deal of love and respect for the music and culture. Let 'em sing and rap, they are putting it out there how much they love the music. My two cents.

[@jofx1027]

Thanks for reacting to XG. This was a dope reaction. XG is getting hate from the stans of other groups and some of the diehard KPOP enthusiasts because like what you said they didn't follow the cookie cutter approach. Trained & promoting in Korea but sang in English. That was one. Second was them being labeled as appropriating the Black Culture - but I'm happy to see lots of comments here defending them. As you said, they are students of the game. They grew with this music. They might be labeled as idols, but they are full artists.

[@jonathanwatson5818]

Blackpink and Babymonster are probably XG's main competition. Then there's groups like Fifty Fifty, Twice, Newjeans, , Le Sserafim, Aespa. Though if you ask me none of them have the Rap Line or the dance style to the perfection of XG whom is always in sync Live or MV. Not to mention Juria and Chisa's amazing vocals, however XG has given props and a shout out to Blackpink, Newjeans, and Twice.
