Girl Group XG on Rapping In 3 Different Languages

Hi everyone. We're XG. Welcome to Young Hollywood with XG. Woo. Yeah.

I started rapping when I was 14. I got into music from the 90s and early 2000s and I and I started rapping because of my admiration for amazing female rappers such as Lauren Hill, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, and so on. I think it wasn't until I became a trainee that I started to become really passionate about it and was exposed to a lot more artists, genres and music. I was also inspired by my members everyday I was working with.

I started rapping in third grade. One of the reasons I wanted to become an artist was because of Lauryn Hill and TLC. The first time I heard them rap, my body started moving on its own. It was so cool and I still remember feeling so excited. I love rapping and listening to it. Even more than when I first started listening to rap.

In Gal Cypher, we rap in three languages. And I struggled a bit with changing the way I pronounce the words when changing languages. We had to practice our accents when changing from Japanese to Korean, tongue movements in English, et cetera. Um, and I stumbled on my words over and over again. I like to rap and sing about our stories and who we are. It makes us feel more original and special. I think my rap in Gal Cypher this time was a little fast rap overall. And the part that I'm going to sing right now is actually the part that I stumbled a lot on. So, here we go. 5 6 7 8 My all the dance drop on the mic. Um, this part has fast rhythm and um, at the same time, there are so many of both English and Korean in one line. So I think that's what kind of tongue twisted me a lot. And I personally enjoy covering fast wraps. So the faster the tempo is, it gets me into the zone and I think, yeah, pumps me up, so. Thumbs up.

For me, I feel that what makes me extraordinary is my confidence. I believe that my passion and strong will is very important to me, and whenever I go on stage and perform, I always keep that in mind.

I think it's perseverance. What's extraordinary about me is that I don't give up. I always keep trying even when things get tough or I don't get good results.

I love how we have a community to talk with our Alphas where it's not just them talking, but talking with us too. I love the way they always make us laugh, and where they imitate us, and how they always support us, XG. We love our Alphas at all times. They often tell us that they get power from us, but we also get power from our Alphas, and we were always very, very grateful. We always get let's of warm messages and funny collages.

I would say energetic and elegant.

I think it's sensitive and gentle.

Yeah.

Mine is powerful and clear.

Oh.

Mysterious and pretty.

Woo. Yeah.

Pretty.

Smile and kind.

I would say purple and unique.

Free and sassy.

Oh, yeah. So many. Yeah. I would say Free and sassy. Yeah.

Oh. We're so happy to see so many reactions and responses. We've enjoyed watching the videos from so many people, and we received even more reactions to Gal Cypher. The most memorable one was Jackson Wang's reaction video where he said XG is the future. No. Yeah, we're so grateful and happy to see that so many posted their reaction videos online.

As June Chan said, I was especially surprised when Jackson Wang and Milli reacted and said so many great things about our video. Thank you so much.

Many people around the world gave in, reacted to our Gal Cypher, which made me very happy. I was especially excited by the shout-out from JR, who is the original artist of my Gal Cypher.

Wow. That's really cool. It's definitely doing a world tour.

Woo. Doing a world tour would mean that there are Alphas all over the world. It would also mean that XG is known and loved globally. I can't wait to meet all the Alphas around the world and party to our music. Yeah.

We have so many goals, but some are performing at Coachella, chanting at number one on the Billboard charts, and of course, performing in front of our Alphas from all around the world. Yeah.

We have a lot of goals. Yeah.
